But compared to Leo Ross, Rachel Ross was even more shocked to see Leo.
She had been in prison, unaware of what was happening outside, and didn’t know that the sches she taught Leo had failed.
She couldn’t get out of prison because Damian Knight refused to relent, keeping her locked up.
Originally, she planned to use the Midnight Coffee House to disrupt the Knight Group, hoping Damian would be too distracted to bother with her affairs, allowing her to leave prison and seek revenge on Sumr Monroe.
Unexpectedly, she saw her father in the special detainnt area of The Vanguard.
Moreover... her father’s hands and feet were shackled, looking even more miserable than she did.
Rachel’s mind went blank instantly.
Over there, Leo saw Rachel, and his hatred towards Damian Knight vanished, leaving only terror.
It didn’t matter if he was imprisoned, as long as Rachel could get out, their branch of the Ross Family could still rise, yet Rachel had ended up inside too!
For a mont, Leo’s heart was filled with despair, even wishing for death.
In the depths of desperation, all pride fades away.
He suddenly rembered people calling Damian the captain, and without hesitation, he bent his knees, kneeling heavily on the ground, begging while kowtowing to Damian Knight: "Young Master Knight, I beg you, it’s my arrogance giving you trouble. I know I’m wrong, I really know I made mistakes. I’m not asking you for forgiveness, just begging you to let my daughter go. She’s too young to waste her life here!"
Rachel then noticed that Damian Knight was actually there.
She also noticed the mbers of The Vanguard treated Damian with respect, as if he were the leader.
What’s going on?
She was completely baffled.
Before Rachel could process what was happening, Leo crawled over to her, pulling her to kneel before Damian Knight.
Rachel stumbled and fell to the ground from Leo’s pull.
"Dad, you..."
"Don’t say anything! Quickly kowtow to Young Master Knight, beg him to spare you, or you’ll never get out!"
Hearing this, Rachel finally snapped out of her daze.
She couldn’t stay here; she didn’t want to be trapped here forever!
Thinking of this, Rachel set aside her usual pride and desire for Damian, sobbing, "Young Master Knight, I don’t want to stay here forever. I promise I won’t show up in front of you after I get out. Just spare this one ti, for my cousin’s sake."
Damian Knight curved his lips: "Your cousin? Besides , Isaac Ross is the one who hates you the most, so spare the face-saving plea."
Rachel’s heart sank, not expecting Isaac to be so heartless!
But she wasn’t surprised; if Isaac considered their blood relationship, would she have been imprisoned for so long?
Isaac never intended to help her, his cousin.
"I..." Rachel bit her lip hard, kowtowing to Damian Knight, saying, "I’m afraid, I won’t dare to target or design against you anymore, just begging you to spare this ti."
Damian Knight, tired of sitting, stood up and coldly uttered two words: "Too late."
Adults can’t take back their actions; once done, admitting wrongs is aningless now.
Rachel could tell from Damian Knight’s expression that he wouldn’t release her.
Resolved, her heart filled with hatred, she stood up, refusing to kowtow, and accused, "I didn’t commit any grave offense. My father is already imprisoned, and the coffee house sche surely failed, why do you have to drive to a dead end?!"
