567: Rachel Wallace's Identity

Rachel Wallace's Identity

"Uh..."1

After Connor heard Rachel's words, his entire person was stunned, and the expression on his face was extremely shocked. He did not expect that Rachel would actually say such words to him!

"Ms. Wallace, are you confessing to me?" Connor asked Rachel helplessly.

"That's right!"

Rachel nodded very directly and continued, "You don't have a girlfriend now, and I don't have a boyfriend either. The two of us can be together, but only in name. I won't have anything to do with you, nor will I marry you. This way, Madison won't be able to continue pestering me."

"Ms. Wallace, are you playing with me? If you want to get together with me, and yet I can't have sex with you, then why should I get together with you?" Connor shouted at Rachel helplessly.

"What's wrong? Don't tell me you still want to have sex with me?"

Rachel frowned at Connor.

"Uh..." When Connor heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "M-Ms. Wallace, that's not what I meant…"

"Aren't you happy just to be my boyfriend? Forget it, you'd better get out quickly. I'm not in the mood to talk to you now!"

Rachel waved at Connor impatiently, indicating for him to leave quickly.

"Ms. Wallace, about my leave?" Connor asked with a smile.

After Rachel hesitated for a moment, she said, "I'll give you a day off. If you don't come to class the day after tomorrow, I'll consider it as you skipping class!"

"Thank you, Ms. Wallace!"

Connor shouted happily, then turned around and ran out of the office.

However, after taking two steps, Connor suddenly stopped and turned to Rachel and asked, "Ms. Wallace, do you know anyone from the military?"

"Someone from the military?" Rachel was stunned for a moment after hearing Connor's words. Then, the corners of her mouth rose slightly as she asked in a soft voice, "Why are you suddenly asking me this question?"

"It's nothing. I'm just curious…"

Connor said lightly.

"Then why do you think I know someone from the military?"

Rachel said gently. Connor looked at Rachel and hesitated for two seconds, then smiled and said, "Ms. Wallace, just pretend that I didn't say anything. I'll leave first!"

After saying this, Connor turned around and walked out of the office.

Rachel narrowed her eyes as she looked at Connor's departing back. A faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth, and no one knew what she was thinking.

After Connor left Rachel's office, his face was filled with confusion.

Rachel had obviously let it slip just now, saying that she had helped Connor before. 

Yes, she had indeed helped Connor before and had paid his tuition fees several times. However, Connor knew that Rachel wasn't talking about this matter. Otherwise, she would never have said something like that.

There weren't many people who had helped Connor before. The only time they had done so was when they were at the Phillips Family Estate. At that time, the Tiger Commander, Joey Shaw, had been asked by a mysterious person to help Connor.

Thomas Morgan, Kyle Hayes, and the others had also been investigating this matter, but they still could not find out who had asked Joey to come and help Connor that day.

Connor once heard from Kyle Hayes that Rachel's identity was very mysterious. Moreover, Rachel's own background was also very powerful, but no one knew who she was, nor did anyone know what her family did. When he connected all these pieces together, Connor felt that it was very likely that Rachel was the one who'd helped him in secret that day.

However, Connor did not understand two things: how did Rachel know that something happened to him that day? And if she was the one who'd helped him, then why was she unwilling to admit these things?

Connor could feel from Rachel's reaction that she probably didn't want to talk about this matter with him. Since she didn't want to talk about it, Connor didn't continue asking.

After leaving Rachel's office, Connor returned to the classroom.

When Dominic and Spencer saw that Connor had returned, they immediately surrounded him and began to ask what Rachel had said to Connor.

Connor didn't say much to Dominic and Spencer and just casually answered their questions.

…

6 PM.

When the school bell rang, Connor did not go to the cafeteria with Dominic and Spencer. Instead, he called a taxi and went straight home.

After reaching home, Connor took out his phone and dialed Thomas Morgan's number.

"Beep, beep, beep…"

After the phone rang twice, Thomas picked up the call.

"How's the investigation of the assassin going?" Connor asked directly after Thomas answered the phone.

"There's still no progress. These two killers have very few social connections, and they don't have any relatives. It's quite difficult to investigate them…" Thomas said helplessly.

"If it really doesn't work, then let's not waste any more time. I think the other party is so clean and efficient, they probably won't leave any clues for us!"

Connor paused for a moment and then continued, "By the way, I'm going to Borealis City tomorrow to attend Luke Roberts's granddaughter's birthday party!"

"Then I'll get someone to drive you there," Thomas quickly said.

"No need, I'll take a bus over!" Connor replied indifferently.

"A bus?"

After Thomas heard Connor's words, his tone carried a trace of doubt.

"If there are many people in the bus, I think even if Rockefeller's people wanted to attack me, they wouldn't dare to do so in a place with so many people, so I think going by bus should be the safest…" Connor said.

"That's true. I'll get Miss Murphy and Mr. Lane to go with you!" Thomas continued.

"I think it'll be better to just have Carlos come along. Diana is too pretty, and having a pretty girl following me around might be a little…"

Connor didn't want to expose his identity now. If he really let such a beautiful girl like Diana Murphy follow him, it would definitely cause misunderstandings.

"That's fine too. I'll call Carlos Lane later and let him know!"

Thomas agreed.

"Good!"

Connor nodded his head and continued, "By the way, I asked you to investigate the matter about Joey Shaw. How's your investigation going?"

"There isn't much progress. After all, Mr. Shaw is from the military and is different from ordinary people," Thomas said directly.

"Oh…" Connor sighed helplessly and then said lightly, "Alright, I got it. If there's anything, contact me by phone!"

"Alright!"

Thomas agreed and hung up the phone.
