His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1255

Rachel heaved a deep breath as she waited. Not long after, the door opened and out was Holley with a couple of prison guards beside her.

Watching Holley being held by prison guards and the thought of her having to stay here made Rachel feel guilty.

Rachel observed Holley discreetly as Holley made her way towards her. As she sat down in front of her, Rachel spoke with sincerity evident in her voice. "Holley, I'm really sorry for what you have suffered."

As Rachel observed her, she recalled that Holley looked more gaunt than she was in trial.

However, right now, the look in her eyes had changed the last time she saw her.

Rachel remembered how vacant and dim her eyes looked during the trial, but now there was a hint of gleam shining in her eyes.

On the other hand, Holley felt satisfied as she sensed that Rachel was indeed touched and sorry by her sacrifce. 'Soon, she will trust me again, and this will pave my way to success in getting back at Sheryl, ' she thought to herself.

Holley cleared her throat, interrupting Rachel's train of thought. As soon as she caught Rachel's attention, she said with certainty, "Ms. Bai, you have to listen carefully. There is no time dealing with what already happened, so we have to focus on what we can do next, rather, what you can do next for I am clearly stuck in here. I suggest that you investigate Lance's wife. I have a strong gut feeling that she set us up and really has something to do with this case."

Holley's words entered Rachel's ears one by one, and her statement immediately reminded Rachel of what she had heard in the restroom the other day. The puzzle pieces began to fit and align, and all of a sudden, all her confusion and perplexity vanished into thin air just like that.

Rachel's eyes widened as she finally knew what was going on. She turned to Holley and replied, "You're right. How dumb was I that I didn't immediately suspect her? Oh, for God's sake, she watched the video about me and her husband!"

Then, she paused for a moment with a pensive look as she thought about this carefully.

"Well, I heard some rumors about Lance and his wife. It looks like they were not that close as they publicly disclosed. Hmm, something's fishy," Rachel continued, her eyebrows furrowed into a frown.

Rachel bit her lower lip. The more she thought of it, the more excited she became. All roads led to Miranda, and Rachel felt certain that she was the one who framed them.

She turned to Holley once more and gave her a weak but hopeful smile. "Thank you for the tip, Holley. I assure you that I will find out the truth soon, and I will get you out of here."

Right now, she was convinced that she could figure out the real identity of the murderer for now she had a lead.

Holley nodded and returned Rachel's smile. "I believe you, Ms. Bai."

However, deep inside, she still had some apprehensions and was worried that Rachel might not be able to handle this matter, especially when she was stuck in this prison and could only help Rachel by giving her insights.

Holley's eyebrows arched slightly as she added, "Be careful not to alert Lance's wife or even give her any hint that we are onto her. Right now, surely she is not thinking that we suspect her and is planning to investigate her. Her guard is low, so this is a good chance to find out the truth.

Still, I worry, Ms. Bai. Please, if you don't have a proper detective to follow her, I highly suggest you contact this person."

Rachel thought about it for a moment. Then again, it was Holley who thought about going after Lance's wife, so right now, since she also didn't know any detective around that well, she decided to trust Holley once more. She handed Holley a notepad and a pen where Holley wrote down Bernard's phone number before giving it back to Rachel.

Rachel placed her notepad in her purse and gave Holley a determined look as she announced with her hands balled into fists, "Holley, I am really sorry that you are here, but I promise you that I will help clear your name. Just, please give me some time."

As soon as Holley took notice of her determination from her voice and her expression, her mind immediately started to feel slowly at ease. As the time ticked by and for the rest of the visiting time, Holley gave Rachel some advice and tips on investigating Lance's wife.

The visiting hour finally ended, and as Rachel stepped out of the prison gates, she felt her mood light up for she finally knew what to do next. She was no longer at the dead end.

On the way to her aparment, Rachel didn't think of anything else but this case and the investigation of Miranda.

Even though she already decided to get the number Holley recommended, she was still unsure whether she could really rely on this person. She wondered as well whether it would be much safe to just hire a private detective to be sure that she would be able to get useful information to prove Holley's innocence.

Rachel felt confident that she would be able to gather necessary evidence to prove that Miranda was the one guilty and was the one supposed to be in prison right now as long as she didn't give up.

When she reached her apartment, she had already made a decision.

She decided to trust Holley's contact and see if he could really be up for the job.

Rachel walked inside her house as she took her cellphone out of her handbag, dropping the bag on the couch. Without further ado, she dialed the number and was suprised that the other end of the line picked the call immediately after the first ring. Rachel removed her surprise and cleared her throat as she asked politely, "Hello? Is this Bernard?"

"Yes, speaking. Who is this?" Bernard replied, his deep voice ringing into Rachel's ears.
