CHAPTER 63: CHAPTER 63: DAMIEN LANCASTER AGREES TO SEND RACHEL SHAW TO PRISON

The subordinate loudly repeated, "The boat those three kidnappers took was a private vessel of the Shaw Family."

The Shaw Family’s boat.

These few words couldn’t be clearer.

"What do you mean? I don’t understand."

Rachel Shaw shook her head, looking as if she didn’t understand, while the look Damien Lancaster cast on her face was already filled with suspicion.

Ivy Summers had told him that Rachel Shaw was the culprit behind Sophie’s harm.

Naturally, Damien didn’t believe it at the time.

But now...

Rachel Shaw anxiously grabbed Damien Lancaster’s arm, "Damien, are you all suspecting me? Suspecting that I orchestrated all this to harm Sophie?"

Damien Lancaster tightened his lips, looked down at her, his gaze cold and suspicious.

"Rachel Shaw."

Rachel Shaw shook her head repeatedly, seeing his doubt, she became even more flustered, and tears streamed down instantly, "You all suspect me? But why would I do that? I have nothing against that child, why would I risk harming her? Damien, this doesn’t make sense at all, I really have no reason to harm her."

Rachel Shaw’s tears surged, "And Damien, you’ve known me for so many years, have you ever seen me harm anyone? I’ve never harmed anyone, let alone a child who’s unrelated to me."

Rachel Shaw’s words slightly softened Damien Lancaster’s suspicious expression.

Indeed, Rachel Shaw had no grievance with that child.

Even if Sophie exposed her lies for Ivy Summers, such a grudge wasn’t enough for Rachel Shaw to take a huge risk to harm her.

It doesn’t make sense.

Damien Lancaster withdrew his gaze.

Rachel Shaw looked wronged and cried even more sadly.

Damien Lancaster spoke, "Just because it’s the Shaw Family’s boat, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s related to Rachel."

Ivy Summers clenched her fists, once again looking at Damien Lancaster with disappointment.

"Then what would prove it’s related to her?"

"Two of those three have already been caught by the police, we’ll wait for the interrogation results."

"And what if it’s confirmed that this woman harmed my child?" Ella Morgan walked in from outside, speaking loudly, "I heard everything you were saying outside."

Ella Morgan looked at Damien Lancaster, "Mr. Lancaster, I am grateful you saved my child, but I do not agree with your bias towards this young lady. I’ve heard many things about this young lady from Sophie, falsely accusing Miss Summers, scalding Sophie with hot water, I am aware of all this, and now there’s more. May I ask, Mr. Lancaster, if it turns out this woman harmed my Sophie, would you be willing to personally send her to prison?"

Hearing this, Rachel Shaw cried even more aggrieved, standing in front of Damien Lancaster with reddened eyes, her lips trembling.

"Damien, I didn’t, I really didn’t do it... I swear I’ve never harmed anyone, and I could never harm that child. You have to believe me."

Damien Lancaster looked at Rachel Shaw and promised Ella Morgan, "Okay, if she did it, I will definitely send her to prison to give you an explanation."

"Alright, I’ll be waiting for Mr. Lancaster’s explanation."

"Damien..."

Damien Lancaster’s words made Rachel Shaw panic.

Because those two people got caught.

Because Damien Lancaster is the kind of person who does what he says. Now that he’s promised, if it’s found out she did it, he really would send her to prison.

Rachel Shaw only felt her legs getting weaker.

And a surge of hatred rose in her heart.

Those useless idiots not only failed to torture the child as she asked but also let her come back safely and got caught, implicating her.

Rachel Shaw was so flustered she didn’t know what to do. If they really rat her out, she would be done for.

Rachel Shaw was so anxious that she closed her eyes and fainted.

Damien Lancaster frowned, thinking it was due to her recent drowning and subsequent weakness. He glanced at Ivy Summers and took Rachel Shaw away.

Ivy Summers sat on the hospital bed, lowering her head in disappointment, tears welling up in her eyes but not falling.

Even though she’d been disappointed so many times, she would helplessly hold on to a thread of hope each time.

Damien Lancaster, how many more times will you disappoint me?

"Ivy..." Ella Morgan looked at Ivy Summers with a pain in her heart, having heard that Ivy Summers was later thrown into the sea by Damien Lancaster again, she only wished she could replace Ivy Summers and slap both Damien Lancaster and Rachel Shaw.

Ivy Summers tightened her lips and shook her head, "I’m fine, I’m going to check on Sophie."

...

Arriving at Sophie’s ward, Sophie was still unconscious, the little girl lay with her eyes closed, bandages wrapped around her forehead, surrounded by the smell of disinfectant. Ivy Summers held Sophie’s little hand with immense heartache.

Sophie had always been pampered by everyone, never hurt, yet here she was, having gone through a near-death experience.

Ivy Summers couldn’t imagine how terrified Sophie must have been facing those bad people alone.

Ivy Summers was overwhelmed with tears, "Sophie, I’m sorry, it’s Mommy’s fault for not protecting you, but don’t worry, Mommy will definitely not let those who hurt you get away."

"Ivy, stop crying, the doctor said that although Sophie is injured, fortunately, those people were afraid Sophie would bleed too much, so they treated her wounds en route, so Sophie’s condition is okay, she will wake up soon. When she does, we can ask her if she heard anything, saw anything, she might give us crucial evidence to help us send Rachel Shaw to prison."

Ivy Summers held onto Sophie’s hand tightly and responded softly.

Ella Morgan said angrily, "By then, Damien Lancaster will have to eat his own words for trusting Rachel Shaw."

As Ella Morgan was speaking, Leo, who was leaning on Sophie’s bed, suddenly got up, wiped the tears and snot from his face, and ran out.

"Leo?"

Ivy Summers didn’t have time to stop Leo.

"Nathan, go bring your brother back."

Leo is more impulsive, while Nathan is the calm one.

Nathan, with a serious little face, nodded sensibly.

Leo rushed out the door and disappeared without a trace.

Nathan knew he was out to seek revenge on Damien Lancaster and Rachel Shaw.

Leo searched around the hospital for a while and finally saw Damien Lancaster.

At this moment, Leo was filled with anger, intent on avenging Ivy Summers and Sophie.

He fixated on Damien Lancaster’s back and shouted, "Damien Lancaster!"
