Chapter 374 - Good news of our lives... (1/2)

”What do you mean? Who forced you to do so?” This time Alonzo snapped his head towards his father.

”It was Frank Howard.. He was the one who forced me to do this.” Mr. Brown said while crying his heart out.

”Frank Howard? The one from country Z?” Lisa asked with a frown on her face.

Mr. Brown nodded his head and said, ”Yes.. He is the only one who was capable to order me around.”

Suddenly a gasp left from Lisa's mouth when she listened to him and her mouth opened slightly to take a few rounds of deep breath.

Diana too was shocked to hear it as she said, ”That's mean my mother's so called husband Frank is way more worse than we thought. He is really the biggest bastard of the world.!!”

Reuben nodded and then turned his face towards Rachel and said, ”Now it's your turn to complete the next part of the story. Tell us what Mike had asked you to do and at what expense?”

Rachel who was confused with all that was happening around her, came back to her actual state as Reuben asked her about the past relation of her with Mike which too involved her friend Diana.

Still shivering a little in fear, she muttered, ”Five years ago, when Diana had already left for country Z, Mike came to visit me one day...

As Diana knows that I belong from a middle class family and my dad needed to have a heart transplant to stay alive but we didn't have the required money for this...

At that exact time, Mike came with an proposal to save my father but only in one condition. And the condition is...I needed to steal Diana's diary, in which she used to write her contact.”

”What!!” Diana was too shocked to say something at this unexpected news.

Rachel kept her head bowed down and continued narrating the whole story, ”I straight away rejected the proposal. But suddenly my father's health condition started to deteriorate and we needed money for the surgeries in an emergency...

That day when Veronica Ma'am saw me with Mike at the café, was the day I had gone to accept his proposal of destroying the diary..

At the time of exam, when Diana came back from country Z, I lied to her about the diary because they had threatened me that, if I opened my mouth to her then they would kill my dad..”

As she finished her part of story, Rachel broke down in tears as she knelt down on the floor.

Everyone except the REUNIC couple, Mike and Mr. Brown was standing their numb without understanding anything.
