Chapter 24 Rachel Was Locked in The Basement

When Clark was about to return to their seat with the food, he saw Nancy standing in front of Rachel and talking to the latter.

Clark frowned and walked quickly towards them.

"Rachel," said Nancy with a bit jealousy, "You shouldn't have worn such beautiful clothes and stolen my thunder!"

After saying that, Nancy raised her glass and was about to pour the wine all over Rachel!

It happened too fast. Rachel had no time to dodge. The scarlet liquid was about to spill on her body!

All of a sudden, she was pulled away by someone!

Rachel fell into a warm embrace and her body was surrounded by familiar breath.

She raised her head and found it was Clark!

Clark glared angrily at Nancy!

Nancy found the wine glass in her hand had been empty and the scarlet liquid dripped down the chair, as if laughing at her.

"What the hell do you want, Nancy?" Clark tried his best to suppress his anger.

Putting down the wine glass, Nancy turned around to look at Clark, but suddenly smiled and said, "Clark, what's your relationship with Rachel? Why do you always interfere with my decision to teach her a lesson? She is my assistant. She should be punished for not going to work for no reason!"

Clark lifted his eyebrow, saying, "She will be my wife soon. Anyone who dares to hurt the member of the Ji family should be prepared to pay the price!"

"Really?" Nancy shrugged and said, "But she emphasized again and again that she has nothing to do with you."

A hint of displeasure flashed through Clark's eyes. He suddenly bowed his head and asked, "Rachel, I've always liked you. Are you willing to be my future wife?"

Rachel struggled to leave his arms, stood up and looked at Clark calmly.

She wondered whether he really meant it or he was just pretending?

Nancy, who was standing beside, was furious!

Nancy grabbed Rachel by the hand and shouted angrily, "Rachel Yan, if you dare to say yes, our family will never go easy on you! Don't forget that you still owe us a favor!"

Rachel was very clear that Clark was not interested in her. He said that in this occasion because he wanted to help her out.

She would never be with a man who had no interest in her.

"I'm sorry, Clark. But I can't say yes to you." Rachel said, taking a deep breath.

Clark was stunned for a while. He had not expected that Rachel would refuse him.

Hearing this, Nancy was relieved and released Rachel at the same time.

Clark frowned and said, "Rachel, you'd better think it over before answering."

With a calm look at Clark, Rachel said, "I've thought it over. We're not right for each other."

Clark's face turned dark. 'she said we are not right for each other? But why?' he thought.

"Sorry, I have to calm down." Rachel suddenly turned around and left the party.

With a smug smile, Nancy gave a glance at Clark before she left the party following Rachel.

With knitted brows, Clark stood still and watched Rachel leave.

As soon as she walked out of the hall, Nancy stopped Rachel, "Stop, Rachel!"

Rachel stopped and turned around to stare at Nancy coldly. "Nancy, I've done as you expected and refused him. What else do you want?"

"I want you to break away from him!" Nancy ordered arrogantly. "That's ridiculous!" Rachel answered.

Then she sneered. "It's none of your business whom I'm going to contact with, isn't it?"

Nancy stared at Rachel coldly, saying, "You are still a member of the Yan family before you pay us back. Everything you do has something to do with the Yan Family's reputation. How dare you said it is none of my business!"

At this moment, two bodyguards got out of a black car and walked up to Nancy.

Pointing at Rachel, Nancy said to them, "Take her back to the villa!"

Two bodyguards walked over, grabbed Rachel's arms and pulled her into the car.

"Let me go! Nancy Yan! Are you crazy?"

Nancy had a cold face as if she hadn't heard Rachel. The latter was trembling with anger. However, she was pinned down by the bodyguards on the left and right, unable to escape, and could only glare at Nancy angrily.

After arriving at the Yan Family's villa, Teresa was in high spirits the moment she saw two bodyguards had brought Rachel back. "Great! Finally, we have caught this bitch back! Lock her in the basement!"

When Rachel heard this, her face turned pale immediately. It was basement again!

Every time they mistreated her, they always locked her in the basement without giving her anything to eat and leaving her starving!

Although Rachel struggled hard, the bodyguards were strong and she had no chance to escape.

In this way, Rachel was locked up in a basement.

Before the party was over, Clark got a call from the company and left in a hurry. He had to deal with some business stuff and didn't pay much attention to where Rachel was.

He thought she would go straight back to his villa.

After he finished his work, Clark began to call Rachel, only to find that her cell phone had not been answered.

'It is nearly midnight. Has she gone to bed?' Clark thought.

Looking out at the chilly night outside the window, Clark was deep in thought.

In the basement of Yan family, Rachel's stomach started to growl. She had no time to eat anything at the party. Since it was so late now, Teresa and Nancy would not give her any food to eat.

When she was thinking, the door was suddenly pushed open.

At this moment, Teresa was at the door. When she saw that Rachel was still struggling hard, she couldn't help but laugh disdainfully.

"What? How do you feel staying in the basement?" Teresa asked, with a mocking look on her face.

With a slight smile at the corners of her mouth, Rachel mocked back, "Mrs. Teresa, you must have asked that many times? You have always locked me here since I was a little girl. I'm used to it."

"Ha ha," with a scheming face, Teresa said, "in the past, I locked you here because I wanted to punish you. But this time, I intend you to return the money I have spent on you all these years!"

"Do you want to ask Clark to help me?" Stunned, Rachel looked at her with disbelief. This woman was still thinking about the one billion dollars.

"If he doesn't save you, you will be starved to death!" After glancing at Rachel coldly, Teresa turned around and left. The door was closed again.

Early the next morning, Clark was listening to a report from his subordinates in the company and Eva hurried to come.

Seeing her standing at the door in a panic, Clark frowned and waved to his subordinates, signalling them to leave first.

"What's wrong?"

Confused, Clark looked at Eva.

Eva hurried in and said, "Mr. Clark, Miss Rachel didn't answer my phone. She hasn't shown up since yesterday!"

"She didn't go home?" Clark was stunned.

"No, she isn't," Eva replied flustered. "Wasn't she with you yesterday? Where could she have gone? Why can't I find her?"Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

After giving it some thought, Clark went on, "She went to the party with me last night, but she left on her own without me."

"What!" Eva shouted in surprise. Clark frowned and continued, "Nancy also went to the party yesterday.

Would it be possible if she went to the Yan Family with her?"

Before Clark could finish, Eva boldly guessed, "It must be Nancy who took her back to their house!"

Then, a look of horror appeared on Eva's face. She could not help saying, "God, if Miss Rachel returns to the Yan family, I don't know what kind of torture she will suffer! She won't get away with it. She must be tortured much more violently by Teresa than before!"

Clark was a little shocked. "How did Teresa maltreat her?"

Eva shook her head with a horrible look and said, "That old woman always locked Miss Rachel up in the dark and damp basement. She didn't allow her to have meals or see anyone! For several times, she was so hungry that she fainted. Every time I sent food to her secretly, I was found by anyone else and I would be punished!"

Clark face became colder and colder. He didn't expect that the Yan family would be so vicious!

If he had known it earlier, he would never let her leave alone!

Eva didn't notice the expression on Clark's face. She walked up and down restlessly, muttering, "No one brought food to Miss Rachel this time. Will she starve to death?"
