Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 120 by Adolf Dunne

 Alicia Fell Into The Water

“Miss Bennet?” Lukas called out to Rachel in confusion, seeing she had yet to respond after a long time. Rachel’s eyes narrowed for a moment. Then, the corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile. “Nothing. I was just asking,” she casually said, after which she yawned. It had been a long day, and she was exhausted. After saying goodbye to Lukas, she headed upstairs to her bedroom. Rachel fell asleep the instant her body hit the bed.

However, the welcome serenity didn’t last for long, she was soon jolted awake by a loud knock on her bedroom door. “Miss Schultz is here to see you,” Lukas said from the other side of the door. Rachel stared blankly at the door, trying to get her head together. After thinking for a while, she recalled who Miss Schultz was and frowned. Although she was still sleepy, she got out of bed and waddled to the door.

“Lukas, did you say Alicia Schultz is here to see me?” She asked the moment she opened the door. Lukas nodded politely and replied, “Yes, Miss Bennet. That’s what she said.” Lukas also found the sudden visit strange. He knew Alicia quite well, as he had been working there for a long time. Back when the old Mrs. Sullivan was still alive, she appreciated Alicia. If Rachel hadn’t been in the picture, she might have married Victor.

It was the first time Alicia had been to the Sue Garden after Victor got married. ‘Why did she come here so all of a sudden? Why would she ask to see Miss Bennet?’ Lukas pondered silently. He considered the matter a serious one, though, and was thinking of calling Victor right away to fill him in on what was happening. Rachel was pregnant, after all, and he couldn’t be completely certain that nothing untoward would happen.

“Is she in the living room now?” Rachel asked, raising her eyebrows. Her voice was a little slow and inadvertently languid, perhaps because she had just woken up. “No,” Lukas quickly said, pushing aside his thoughts. “She is in the garden now.” Rachel nodded and walked away. When she walked into the garden, she saw Alicia sitting on a chair at the corridor.

Then… A thought suddenly crossed Rachel’s mind, and she narrowed her beautiful eyes at Alicia. “I just know you were up to no good, but unfortunately for you, your plan failed; Victor wouldn’t believe you,” Alicia said, snorting haughtily. It was as though she hadn’t noticed the coldness in Rachel’s eyes. “Who told you I was in
