After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO

Chapter 135 Terminated contract

Ethan's POV

" Is it done yet?" I asked Mark as he walked into my office.

Today was the fifth day after Rachel got arrested, and although I wanted to spend time with her at the hospital, my work back at the office were piling up and were not practically begging for my attention.

Plus it was not like I really saw Rachel anyways. I would just seat at the waiting room all day as Joyce gave me updates about her situation.

Mark had nagged me for hours to come to the office, and here I was seated there but I still couldn't get anything done.

All I could think about was her.

"Answer me Mark, did you do it?" I asked again as my best friend sat down on the chair opposite me.

"If we want to do this the legal way without pulling any strings, I don't think there is a way to get Rachel out of prison".

What?

I scoffed in disbelief.

I had asked Mark to find a way to get Rachel out of jail for the meantime while I focus on finding the killer and this was the news he was bringing back?

"What do you mean?" I asked narrowing my eyes at him.

"The evidences against Rachel... They are just to obvious".

"Doesn't that prove that she is being framed?" I asked dumbly but Mark just shrugged.

" They won't listen to me, especially since you said I shouldn't involve your name. The best way to get this thing done fast is if you come talk to them "

I groaned shutting my eyes in frustration. The past few days I had been nothing but frustrated.

After what Rachel said at the prison about wanting to get out of here legally, I thought about getting that done for her.

She wanted no strings... Fine, that's what I'll do.

So I sent Mark to act like a lawyer to inquire about the case, but it turns out, using the right and legal manner won't work.

" I am not letting Rachel go back to jail, I'm just not allowing it " I said firmly.

It was in that jail that Rachel almost got beaten up to death, how would I allow her go back there?

" If you want things done faster and way more easier, I suggest you talk to this people yourself. " Mark suggested with a sigh. "What's making this case even more worse are Rachel's foster parents".

"They refused to back down on the case and are following it all so eagerly, it's fucking annoying". Mark cursed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

I chuckled agreeing with him. " I understand their daughter which the found just seven months ago died, and they are grieving. But that doesn't mean they are allowed to let an innocent person suffer from the crime. "

" Yeah, Marina told me what Rachel said happened that night, and now I truly believe she had nothing to do with Lana's death. The true killer is out there somewhere doing whatsoever he or she is doing while your woman is suffering for her crimes. "

A smile involuntarily appeared on my lips when I heard Mark call Rachel, my woman.

In a way she was, because there was no way I was letting her go again after this.

Just the few hours I decided to do that, my heart suffered miserably, I was not doing that again.

I bit my lips as a thought suddenly came to my head. " Who do you think killed Lana and why?"

Mark opened his mouth to answer but I shook my head.

"I know we all think Lana has a lot of enemies but, do you think she has an enemy who also hates Rachel?"

"That's the same thing I was thinking and I was also thinking of investigating the matter thoroughly, I'm just waiting for your permission". He answered with a nod.

" If it's my permission you want, then you got it. Find out who really killed Lana and why the person is trying to frame Rachel for it. "

A murderous glint passed through my eyes and I stared ahead.

"I won't care about legal or right, once I find out who is doing this to Rachel, I'm going to make that person pay bitterly ". I swore.

"Dude, you're giving off an extremely scary vibe here". Mark joked with a light chuckle and I shook my head at him.

Whenever the atmosphere was really serious, he always made a joke to lighten it up.

I picked up a document to work on it when I suddenly remembered something.

"Earlier you said Rachel told Marina, are you saying Marina and Rachel talked?" I asked in surprise.

I had thought Rachel was mad at both me and Marina, turns out she was out of the ' annoyed with list'

"Uhm " Mark nodded. " Marina said that she has gone to inform Rachel about what the director of the movie said about her..."

My brows came furrowed. " Are you talking about director George Stone? "

"Yes. They called a meeting to discuss what to do with Rachel. Since it is already out in the public that Rachel is in prison for killing Lana, they had postponed the released date for the movie until further notice, and they're contemplating terminating Rachel's contract".

"Actually..." He shook his head. " I don't think they're contemplating it. Rachel's contract would be terminated and possibly the movie "

Fuck.

I had expected this, but not this soon.

" They are aren't waiting for the court's final verdict?"

Mark shook his head and sighed. " I don't think they will as the meeting is in a few days. "

Rachel devoted a lot of time and energy into the movie, she even got shot because of it. There was no way I was letting it get cancelled.

"Attend the meeting". I said after a while and a surprise Mark blinked at me.

"What?"

" I said you should attend the meeting. Stop them from cancelling it, and also Rachel".

Mark blinked again, before pursing his lips. " Two things. One, I don't think that's possible now and two... what? "

" How do you expect me to attend the meeting? An I to represent you? " He asked but I could tell he knew what I wanted before asking.

Nevertheless, I answered him.

" No, you're representing your grandfather. In other words, Mark you have to go back to the Walker's family".

Mark next words swere interrupted by a knock on my door.

" Come in " I answered and my secretary walked in, bowing slightly to show respect.

" Sir, Mrs Nielson is here to see you ". She secretary announced and Mark and I looked at each other.

Having the sane thought.

What did Lenora Nielson want?

" Let her in ". I ordered, and the she bowed and left to usher in the woman.

" Lenora Nielson?" Mark asked and I shrugged.

There was no other Nielson name that could get past ny security, so it had to be here.

" Good day Mr Wright, Mark". Lenora greeted as she walked into my office.

Mark flashed her a smile and she nodded.

" Mrs Nielson, what can I do for you?"

" Actually I'm the one doing something for you. " She answered and one of my brow went up.

"Excuse me?"

" I can get Rachel out of jail". She suddenly announced after a few seconds of tension.

Mark looked at me again, still looking surprised.

Why was Lenora involving herself in this?

The surprising part wasn't how she would do that, because unlike my family which originated from Europe, the Nielson's have long been rooted in New York, so they had lot of connections. Lenora could easily get Rachel out without getting her hands dirty.

But why was she even helping?
