Chapter 143 She was Emerald Nielson

Ethan's POV

" Mr and Mrs Nielson are here to see you ". Mark announced as we walked through the halls to my office.

They are here?

My brows furrowed together in confusion.

'This could probably be related to Rachel '. I thought.

Two days ago the woman met me in my office and offered to help, and just yesterday she interfered in Rachel's case and got her freed.

But the question was why?

" Do you think it's about the help Lenora rendered to Rachel yesterday?" Mark asked the exact question in my mind and I looked up at him.

"Probably". I shugged as we proceeded.

Mark read out the some of what I had to do today and I listened keenly.

This last few weeks I had been so behind on work, that it was starting to have an effect on the company.

"Also, I've gotten all the CCTV cameras footage in Lana's house checked and even all the cameras within a one mile radius ".

I stood walking, just few metres from my office.

" What then? " So far, Lana's death was one issue that got me on edge.

I needed to find her real murderer soon. Even though Rachel was free, she wasn't completely vindicated from the crime and could still be castigated for being a suspect to an unsolved murder case.

Her career would really be over, and she would blame herself.

I couldn't let that happen.

" The killer is smart. He or she already tampered with all the CCTV cameras around that area few hours to the murder so nothing was caught on them ".

Damn it!

I growled in annoyance.

Just why would someone that smart want to kill Lana? Actually that was the wrong question, anyone would want to kill Lana.

But why involve Rachel?

" I'll be in my office ". Mark said as soon as we arrived at mine. I gave him a curt nod before opening the door to to meet the two people Mark said were in there only to be meet four.

Mark you bastard... I cursed inwardly.

He only said that Mr and Mrs Nielson were here, bot their entire family.

" Captain ".

" Mr Wright "

" Mr Wright"

" Mr Ethan ".

All four Nielson's stood up and greeted, from Owen, to the Nielson's couple and them their youngest son, Raine.

" How can I help you guys?" I walked over to my seat, sitting on it before looking at you at them.

Lenora cleared her throat taking a seat followed by her husband and then the two boys. " Ethan, Mr Wright, there is something we have come to tell you. " She reached into her bag and brought out a piece of document. "... Actually, show you ". She handed the paper to me.

I took it curiosity, my eyes quickly scanning through the paper until I got to the end.

The test was positive?

" Mrs Nielson you know I'm not to familiar with medical terms, what is this?" I asked in confusion pointing to the paper.

" What I'm trying to tell you is that, we've found our daughter".

My lips broke into a small smile after a few seconds of silence. " Congratulations". I stretched out my hands and Simon took it for a shake.

This was huge.

There was no one among the elite family in New York who didn't know that the Nielsons lost their daughter over two decades ago.

The family was said to have suffered a great loss. They looked for their daughter, but never found her, and after years of searching, they gave up.

But I knew for a fact that Lenora kept looking for the girl, she didn't really out much effort to hide the gene testing she did every single year.

So now they finally found her, that was indeed good news. But what bothered me was that, why were they telling me personally? And the entire family?

" Thank you so much Mr Wright. " Simon said shaking my hands.

" This is all great news and everything, but don't blame me for being suspicious about this ". I said after a while and Owen, the eldest son snorted.

" Excuse me? " I raised a brow at him. " If you got something to say, just do. " The entire family went quiet.

I literally just gave them the floor to speak and they choose to remain silent?

If it wasn't for my already spiked curiosity I wouldn't even care much.

I sighed, joining my hands together." Do I know this daughter of your's?"

Lenora and Simon looked at their selves before looking back at me with a nod " As a matter of fact, you do ".

I do?

" That's the reason why were here. Because you know her more than we do " Raine spoke up.

They were just getting me even more curious. " Who is this daughter of yours?"

" It's Rachel ".

Ra... What!

I felt my entire world turn still for a minute as my brain tried to process what I had just heard.

" Rachel? Rachel Andrews? As in my Rachel?" I asked all at once.

How could that be? I knew Rachel was not the Andrews biological daughter, but I never thought she was the Nielson.

Owen scoffed blowing on his fingers " How is she your Rachel? From what I know you both aren't dating".

Was this guy trying to mess with me now?

I threw him a sharp glare which he shot back, and I blinked in surprise.

Less than 48 hours after finding out who his sister was and how I was related to her already got the guy to forget his manners.

" How are you certain Rachel is your daughter?" I asked ignoring Owen and looking at his parents.

"My wife did a test..."

" Actually the same test was done more than six times, so I can assure you, Rachel is our daughter".

I smirked shaking my head. Now everything was starting to make more sense.

" Is that why you helped Rachel get out of prison? Because you found out she was your daughter? " I asked despite knowing the answer.

Simon nodded slowly. " I don't care whether she committed the crime she was accused of or not, I couldn't leave my daughter in jail ".

" Rachel didn't kill Lana "

" Rachel didn't kill Lana ".

Both me and Raine said at the same time. I looked at the man who I knew had a huge crush on my sister.

" You believe Rachel? "

Not many people would believe that knowing Rachel and Lana's history. Hearing that someone else believed her brought a kind of joy to me.

Raine nodded vehemently. " In the short time I spent with her, I know she's not the kind of person capable of killing, even though Lana did almost kill her ".

"Lana? That lady that you refused entry into Rachel's ward the time she was admitted? The dead one?" Lenora asked looking confused.

Raine has a lot of explaining to do.

"So are we saying that this Lana chick that my sister is accused of killing had tried to kill her before?" Owen was even more confused than his mother.

My sister.

The way Owen said it with so much realness, it was really true.

All these while when she thought she was abandoned, Rachel actually had a family that was actually looking for her.

I had planned on finding her family for her after all these was over, but here they are. Even without showing their selves to her yet, they had started to help.

"With everything you guys just said now, I take it that you're willing to accept Rachel as your daughter? Even after everything she has been through?" I asked just to be sure.

There was no way I was letting this people, whether her family or not hurt her.

"The answer to that is pretty obvious." Simon said and the rest of the family agreed. "The main question is, is Rachel willing to come back to us?"
