Chapter 706 Rachel's eyes were rimmed red as she cried.
She was only an ordinary person. She didn't want to loseas her friend.
"I'm sorry, Stephie." But there was nothing she could do other than to apologize.
"Alright, I won't ask anymore," I said, feeling a pang in my chest.

Rachel lowered her head as tears filled her eyes. "I can't marry him. My mother would never agree to it. I'll only end up hurting him, but I truly love him and can't bear to hurt him. I'll think of something, Stephie." I scoffed. Her solution was probably the sas Steven's-which was to escape by death.
I said, "More and more secrets and laboratories of GenSociety are getting uncovered and exposed. With the dark truth coming out, Zion, being an upright police officer, will surely investigate this to the end. "I'm guessing the reason you're still around him is because your "mother" wants you to eliminate him, right?" I figured that GenSociety would want to kill a few police officers as a warning against the others. And they would definitely eliminate Zion.
He was a good person and an upright police officer. GenSociety wouldn't be able to bribe him. Rachel looked atin surprise. She laughed amidst her tears and said, "How did you manage to figure everything out? Both you and Steven are so scary. No wonder you're married to each other!" She wiped her tears. Clearly, Steven had also figured it out and had used this to blackmail her to get her to agree to keep his death a secret and help him escape from the explosion.
"Can't bring yourself to do it?" I asked, looking at Rachel She was clenching her fists tight.
Rachel said, "I've never killed someone before. I've always lived an ordinary life before getting assigned to you. My mother was the one who kept forcing me.
"She askedto monitor you and didn't assignany other tasks. Over time, I gradually accepted it, since it wouldn't cause you any harm anyway. But this time, she's askingto kill someone-I can't do it!" Rachel hugged her legs close. She really couldn't do it.
I asked, "Why haven't you thought of leaving GenSociety at this point? Is that so-called "mother" so important to you? Or does she have skind of leverage on you? Why can't you be selfish and leave GenSociety? You should cclean with Zion. He wouldn't do anything to you." I couldn't understand what Rachel was worried about.
She seemed anxious as she shook her head. "I can't do that, Stephie. My mother's life is in GenSociety's hands." I frowned before sighing. "She wouldn't have asked you to kill someone if she truly treated you as her daughter. You won't be able to turn back once you kill someone.
"I treated you as a friend, Rachel. You should sort out your issues with Zion yourself. Good luck." I got up to leave.

She cried after I left. I could hear her heart-wrenching sobs from outside the door.
"Hello, miss." Ms. Ewing's son had cto pickup downstairs. They ve both were trustworthy people. His nwas Cole Campbell, and he was currently my chauffeur
"Keep a close watch on Rachel. She's reluctant to kill Zion. GenSociety will surely send someone else to take him out if she continues to drag it on. If Rachel finds out, she'll likely go to her "mother". Watch her closely,' I said.
Since Rachel refused to tell me, I'd keep an eye on her to find he m on her to sp-called "mother". CH/F-PSE Peter Grill
