Chapter 151 Clarice Confesses (fifth update, please subscribe!!)
"what?"

"Is it related to Director Lewis?"

Rachel was stunned for a moment, looked at Luke, looked around subconsciously, and lowered her voice: "Are you sure?"

Luke didn't answer the question, but looked at Rachel.

"Do you know who lost something this time?"

"Who?"

"There is a Sentinel supervisor in the Sentinel Secret Service, and that supervisor is Director Lewis's ex-wife."

"hiss!"

Rachel gasped instantly.

next second.

She quickly analyzed the words hidden in Luke's words.

Luke drank the bourbon in the cup: "In short, that mutant took something he shouldn't have taken. Now not only the Sentinel Secret Service is looking for him, but even Director Lewis asked me to find him." Sentinel Secret Service found him before."

Rachel nodded thoughtfully, but to be conservative, seeing the half-smiling expression on Luke's face, she still asked in a low voice: "That thing doesn't look good?"

Luke nodded with a smile.

Rachel was completely stunned.

She just said that when Luke called her in the afternoon and said that a case would be transferred to the Sentinel Secret Service, she was a little curious.

In a word.

At Lu Ke's level, working overtime is non-existent.

She almost suspected that Lu Ke was secretly eating delicious food in the bureau behind her back.

Rachel came to her senses.

"Have you found it?"

"He ran away."

"what?"

It was not Rachel who spoke up, but Lorna.

After hearing this, Lorna couldn't help but said something and looked at Luke: "Did the Sentinel Secret Service find him?"

Luke glanced at Lorna who seemed a little shocked, smiled and said: "No, they were one step behind me."

Lorna couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

at this time.

The doorbell rang.

It's Clarice!
Lorna came back to her senses, jumped down from the high stool, and ran towards the door: "It's Clarice, I'll open the door."

Rachel turned to look at Lorna running towards the door, turned back and smiled at Luke: "Lorna is a very competent broker."

Luke shook his head and smiled without saying a word.

"correct."

Rachel's eyes fell on the suitcase that Luke just pushed in. She filled Luke's glass with bourbon again and said thoughtfully: "The contents inside are..."

Luke didn't hide it from Rachel: "The spoils of war."

Rachel raised an eyebrow.

"How to deal with it."

"It's up to you."

"Row."

Rachel heard the words and nodded without saying anything more, looking at Clarice who was led in by Lorna who went to open the door.

Lorna came to the living room with Clarice who was following behind.

"Mr. Dane."

Clarice looked at Luke standing at the bar, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and his aura was more powerful than his height of 1.8 meters, and took a deep breath: "Can I talk to you alone?"

Hearing this, Luke nodded.

"can."

"Thank you."

"Go to the study."

When it comes to talking about things, how should I put it, the study is more formal.

Things have been the same since ancient times.

The entrance to the study room on the second floor.

Luke pushed open the study door, walked in first, and turned on the study light.

Clarice followed.

Lorna followed, wanting to come in too.

but……

Clarice turned around and stopped Lorna.

Lorna froze.

"what."

"Sorry, Lorna, you can't come in."

"Varied……"

"Boom!"

Lorna was just about to say something when she saw Clarice smile apologetically at her, and then close the study door directly inside.

Lorna was immediately dumbfounded.

At the bar downstairs, Rachel tried to lift the suitcase and found that it couldn't be lifted. She looked up at the scene and couldn't help laughing, then shook her head and said: "Lorna, your brokerage mission is over. Come on, come down and help me unload my things."

Lorna came back to her senses, looked at the closed study door in front of her, frowned, then turned around and walked downstairs.

in the library.

Luke put the wine glass on the desk, then sat on the chair behind the desk, pointed to the sofa chair in front of the desk, and looked at Clarice who followed him in.

"sit."

"Thank you."

Clarice pulled out her chair a little awkwardly and sat down.

Seeing this, Lu Ke smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, I don't eat people."

This is not a joke, this is the truth.

In a sense.

Clarice seemed to think it was a joke, just a cold joke, but she still squeezed out a smile, and then silently worked on herself mentally.

When Luke saw this scene, he was not in a hurry, but gave Clarice enough space to drink the bourbon in his glass.

He had almost guessed Clarice's purpose.

in fact……

If Clarice doesn't come to him today, he will go to Clarice tomorrow.only.

If he went to find her, the ending might be completely different from if Clarice came to her alone.

Clarice lowered her eyes, clenched her fists on her knees, then relaxed them, then clenched them again, and then relaxed them again. After going back and forth three times, she exhaled a sigh of relief. She seemed to have completed the mental construction, and raised her eyes again. Look at Luke sitting behind the desk.

"Mr. Dane."

"Ah."

Clarice took a deep breath again, and then chose to get straight to the point: "Actually, I am a mutant!"

Done.

She seemed to be escaping reality and chose to close her eyes.

at this time.

Clarice heard Luke's voice coming to her ears again.

"Ah."

"..."

Clarice was stunned for a moment, opened her eyes, and looked at Luke who just nodded, and then showed no movements or expressions that she expected.

Luke looked at Clarice who seemed to have a stunned expression on her face and smiled.

"and then?"

"what?"

"You said you were a mutant, and then what?"

Luke leaned on the seat behind him and crossed his arms, as if watching a play: "Why, you came to me just to tell me that you are a mutant?"

Clarice shook her head subconsciously.

She's a bit of a mess.

after all……

There was a slight deviation from the rhythm of the plot that she had imagined or expected. She needed to slow down, and it would be best to give her some more time to figure it out again.

"Wait a moment."

Clarice shook her head and looked at Luke.

"You know I'm a mutant?"

"Ah."

"Did Lorna tell you?"

Clarice subconsciously had an object of suspicion in her mind.

but……

Luke will not betray Lorna.

After all, Lorna had just told him, but she didn't tell Clarice that Luke knew she was a mutant.

Luke looked in front of him. Even though he tried to act calm, Clarice, who still had a look of panic in her eyes, smiled and went straight to the point, taking the initiative to his side easily.

"You're here for Davy Jones."

"..."

Clarice was spinning rapidly in her mind, and then, trying to regain her rhythm, Clarice heard this sentence, and subconsciously looked at Luke with a swish sound.

Her face was...a little pale.

Luke smiled slightly.

"Didn't Lorna just tell you that I just came back from Davy Jones' house?"

"what?"

Clarice's eyes widened: "Has the Sentinel Secret Service already found him?"

Luke shook his head.

"This is not."

"..."

Luke said this, and then looked at the expression on Clarice's face that was almost unbearable. He stopped teasing the little girl and took out five cards from his arms. He was just waiting for David to come back at David's apartment. The five photos he saw during this period were directly handed to Clarice: "The person in this photo is you, right?"

Clarice stood up quickly and took the folded photo from Luke's hand.

Unfold.

into the eye.

Not all of these five photos are of her and David, only one is considered a group photo.

Because Clarice remembered clearly that this group photo was taken when their grade group went to Malibu beach last year.

There are also two photos of many people together, also with Malibu Beach in the background.

But there is another one, which is her solo photo.

However, judging from the angle at which this photo was taken, if nothing unexpected happens, this photo of her alone should have been secretly taken by Davy Jones.

Clarice looked at the five photos in her hand and looked up at Luke again.

"This……"

"It's yours."

"……Yes."

"That's good."

Luke nodded: "David took something he shouldn't have. There are many people looking for him. Fortunately, I was one step ahead of the people from the Sentinel Secret Service and saw these photos. If I had not gone there, I would have been caught by the Sentinel Secret Service." If people from the bureau see these photos, you might be in trouble, so put them away."

Not possible.

It must be.

Clarice thought this in her heart, and then she silently refolded the five photos and put them in her pocket. She planned to go home and throw them into the barbecue in the backyard to burn them.

Luke looked at Clarice who had put away the photos again, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and then said again: "By the way, do you know where David is now? I just went to his house and he saw me But as a result, he ran away before he finished three sentences."

As he spoke, Luke paid attention to the expression on Clarice's face and said with a smile: "Besides, looking at his posture, it seems that he has received some news and is ready to run away."

After hearing this, Clarice regained her composure, took a deep breath, and looked up at Luke: "I asked him to run away, Mr. Dane."

Luke raised his eyebrows: "Oh."

Clarice suppressed her instinctive trembling and looked at Luke: "He told me what he did in Atlanta. After I found out about it, I knew that he was in big trouble. If he stayed here, he would harm himself. , and will also harm our other mutants who are awakened but haven’t done anything bad.”

Luke laughed.

"big trouble?"

"David, he's not in big trouble."

"He can be regarded as a breakthrough."

From David's position, this matter is indeed a breakthrough.

Clarice pursed her lips and looked at Luke: "I know, I have seen those things, and I also know where those things are."

Luke: "..."
