Chapter 756

“You’re indebted to the Johnson family, so why did you frame Tom?”

When Harold heard this, the dazed look on his face instantly disappeared, and a fleeting look of panic flashed across his eyes under his glasses. “Miss Grey, just as you said, I’m indeed indebted to the Johnson family. How can I repay kindness with ingratitude?”

“So it was unintentional of you to introduce Tom to outsiders in private and collect bribes for him after he left?”

Her tone was casual, but every word fell into Harold’s ears, making his heart sink uncontrollably. It was as if he had been soaked in ice water. His entire body turned cold and his face involuntarily became pale.

He clenched his hands on his knees silently into fists. His throat was dry and tense. “How did you know…”

Rachel saw the panic on his face, but she did not bat an eyelid. She supported her forehead with her fingertips and glanced at him indifferently. There was a hint of disdain in the corners of her eyes. It was as if she was looking down at an ant. “I have my ways, of course. But have you ever thought of the consequences of offending the Johnson family?”

Her voice was calm, but there was a chill in her words. “Or rather, when you attacked the Johnson family, that person didn’t tell you the consequences of touching the Johnson family.”

Harold suddenly looked up and met Rachel’s dark eyes.

The woman’s eyes were cold and filled with mockery. It was as if she had seen through the secret in his heart. It made Harold feel as if he had fallen into a vault of ice. In an instant, he was rendered speechless.

After some time, he struggled to find his voice from his nervousness and unease. “Why do
