Chapter 1996: Just Friends?

"I'll help you deal with this matter. You don't have many connections in Solsby, so it won't be easy to investigate the murderer who framed your grandfather. If I stay and help you, it should be much easier…"

Connor paused and then continued, "Moreover, there are many ancient martial arts sects in Solsby. If the person who killed your grandfather was a martial artist, you might not be able to deal with it yourself…"

"Then what about the matter in Yarlford?"

Rachel knew that Connor was in a hurry to return to Yarlford to deal with the Gomez family.

"There's no rush. Taran Saber hasn't returned yet anyway, and it doesn't matter if we spend a few extra days on this!"

Connor said lightly.

After Rachel heard Connor's words, she was very touched. "Connor, thank you!"

"Don't be so polite with me. I'm not used to you being like this…"

Rachel was not in the mood to joke with Connor, so she did not continue to pay attention to him.

An hour later, Connor and Rachel returned to the Misty Sect.

After entering the villa, Rachel locked herself in her room. Connor could hear that Rachel was probably calling people to use her connections to find the murderer who killed her grandfather.

If they were anywhere apart from Solsby, Connor felt that Rachel would be able to find out soon. However, Solsby was too far away from York. Rachel had a lot of connections, but they didn't cover the whole of Sommerville. Therefore, she needed to constantly find connections to investigate this matter.

Connor still pitied her.

After all, Rachel's parents were killed by Rockefeller, but she didn't have the ability to take revenge for them, and now, her grandfather had also been murdered. The only difference was that this time, Rachel might have the ability to take revenge.

Connor felt that he should do something at this time, but he only knew Noel in Solsby.

Fortunately, Connor had helped Noel's status in Solsby rise last night. It should not be too difficult to investigate the Strickland family.

Connor took out his phone and dialed Noel's number.

"Mr. McDonald, what can I do for you?" Noel asked respectfully after he picked up the call.

"I need you to help me investigate something!"

Connor said in a low voice.

"Mr. McDonald, you should be planning to ask me to help you investigate the Strickland family, right?" Noel asked directly.

"How did you know?"

After Connor heard this, the expression on his face seemed to be a little shocked.

"Mr. McDonald, don't misunderstand. I didn't follow you. It was our Misty Sect's driver who told me about this. That's why I knew. I've already helped you to investigate…" Noel said with a smile.

"You've already investigated it for me?"

The expression on Connor's face seemed to be somewhat puzzled.

"Mr. McDonald, let me tell you this personally!" Noel said carefully.

"Then come to the villa!"

Connor replied indifferently and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Connor walked to Rachel's room and knocked on the door.

"The door isn't locked. Come in!" she called. 

Connor entered the room. At this time, Rachel was lying on the bed. Her condition was not very good, and it seemed that she had just cried.

Connor couldn't help but feel a little heartache when he saw her like this. After all, a woman like Rachel rarely exposed her fragile side. She had always lived in a big family like the Wallace family, so she learned to be independent and self-reliant from a very young age. This also led to Rachel looking very strong, but she was actually a woman, and she also had her own fragile side.

"How's the investigation going?" Connor asked softly.

"My connections are temporarily unable to reach Solsby. I can only see if they can help me investigate some things…"

Rachel said in a hoarse voice.

"Just now, Noel said that he seemed to have found some clues. Do you want to hear them?" Connor continued.

"Really?" 

After Rachel heard Connor's words, the expression on her face seemed to be a little excited. She hurriedly stood up and shouted at Connor.

"Of course. You don't have to shoulder everything by yourself. After all, you still have me by your side!"

Connor lsaid seriously.

After Rachel heard Connor's words, she couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in her heart. It seemed that she hadn't experienced the feeling of being truly cared for by someone for a very, very long time.

In this world, it was as if no one else really cared about her other than her grandfather.

However, at this moment, Rachel once again found such a feeling from Connor.

After Connor realized that Rachel had been staring at him, the expression on his face seemed a little awkward. "What are you looking at?"

"I'm not looking at anything. I'm just a little curious why you're so good to me!"

Rachel was not an ordinary woman. She would bluntly say whatever she thought and would not hide it at all.

"Because we're friends!" Connor replied.

"Is it as simple as being friends?" Rachel asked.

"What else would it be?"

Connor was speechless.

"Little Connor, are you in love with me? That's why you're so good to me, trying to move me, isn't it?"

Rachel questioned.

"Ma'am, can you not be so narcissistic? Why did I fall in love with you? The two of us live together every day. If I really fell in love with you, I would have done it to you long ago!" Connor shouted in despair.

When Rachel heard Connor's words, the expression on her face was a bit strange. She then frowned and said, "Little Connor, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that I'm not charming enough?"

"You're charming enough, but I look at you every day. Maybe I'm tired of looking at you, so I really only treat you as a friend. I don't have any thoughts about you!"

Connor said confidently while sizing up Rachel's figure.

But in fact, Connor's words were obviously a lie. Rachel was the best among the sexy stunners. Even if you looked at her every day, it was absolutely impossible to get tired of her.

However, Connor really didn't have any other thoughts about Rachel because he knew that she was very terrifying. If something really happened between him and Rachel, the consequences would be unimaginable!
