Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Rachel and Andy headed upstairs to the study.Rachel closed the door behind them once they were inside.As she walked closer to Andy, she pulled a bank card out of her pocket and held it out to him.

"There are five million dollars in this account," she said.

Andy's eyes widened when he looked at the card.

When he heard what she said, his eyebrows nearly shot up into his hairline.

"Miss Bennet, where did you get so much money?"

He was so surprised because he knew that Rachel was down on her luck when it came to money.He knew she only had this villa, and 1% shares of the Bennet Group.

Apart from this, she had next to nothing.

As far as he was concerned, she'd be lucky to have even one hundred thousand dollars in her account at this stage.

In the past, when things had been going well, five million dollars would have seemed like a trivial amount.

But now, with all that was currently going on, five million dollars felt like a fortune.

Rachel grabbed his quivering hand and shoved the card into his palm.She curled his fingers tightly around it, then let him go.

"You don't need to know where I got the money from.All you need to know for now is that I got it legally.Just take it.Use it for emergencies and if something happens to the Bennet Group or your law firm.You don't need to ask my permission to use it; consider this me granting you all the rights to it.I don't know when I'll be able to come back here.So please, take it."! 

What she said was true.The five million dollars was all legal.She'd asked Quintin to lend her the money; in fact, she had only asked for two million.

But Quintin had been only too excited to help his boss.

He'd agreed without hesitation and transferred the required amount, plus an extra three million, to Rachel's account.

"I… I don't need all this money… I'm only running a small law firm.But Miss Bennet, you can be rest assured that I will keep an eye on the Bennet Group for you.You don't have to worry about a thing,"

Andy said, standing up a little straighter and raising his chin.

"There is one last thing," Rachel said.

"Anything."

"I know you used to work in the legal department of the Bennet Group.Do you still have those connections? I know you quit quite a while ago, but I was just wondering," Rachel said slowly.

"In all honesty, I'm not sure.I haven't spoken to anyone from there in a very long time.If I may ask, Miss Bennet, why do you want to get into contact with them?"

Andy asked with a frown.

Rachel went to sit at the desk.She leaned back in the chair and comfortably rested her arms on the desk in front of her.

"I want to go over all the project contracts that Jack and Caroline handled over the last twenty-four years,"she said, pursing her lips and raising her eyebrows.

At that, the two of them entered in a deep, important conversation.

Afterwards, Rachel returned to the Sue Garden.
