CH 70

Rael collapsed on the sofa in despair. He looked straight at Miss Blair, who didn’t dare to look up at him, and spoke with trembling lips, “Why are you so stupid?!”

The maliciousness in his tone made Miss Blair tremble. She raised her face and looked at Rael. Tears were already streaming down her face, “I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!”

Rael looked at Miss Blair without hiding the disgust in his eyes, “Oh, shut up! You make me sick!”

Miss Blair looked a little funny as her eyes widened, “Oh, my dear Rael, what are you saying? How can you say such terrible words?”

Rael looked at Miss Blair and smiled sarcastically, “Oh! I have never seen such a stupid woman as you, you really thought I would marry you? You’re so ridiculous! A stupid woman like you? Am I crazy? I’m just taking advantage of you!”

At this moment, Miss Blair stared at Rael as if she had just woken up from a dream, as she doesn’t seem to know what to say.

“You…you…” She looked at Rael, as if she didn’t know him.

But Rael didn’t look at her at all, turned his head to look out the window and said, “Don’t talk about it, get out!”

Miss Blair was already in tears at this time, her originally gentle lover suddenly became like this. It was really hard for her to accept it.

“Oh!” Miss Blair sobbed loudly, turned and ran out. Seeing the situation, the policeman who brought her in quickly chased after her.

Evan looked at Rael meaningfully, at his clenched fists and the tense corners of his mouth.

“Mr Rael.” Sheriff Chandler said the word “Mr” in a stiff tone, “Why did you treat Mr Johnson like that?”

“Oh!” Rael sneered, “The old man Johnson was like a pig, do I still need a reason to kill him?”

Sheriff Chandler seemed to be startled by Rael’s sudden swearing. He looked at Rael with wide eyes and his tone became serious, “How can you say that about Mr Johnson?”

Rael turned his head to look at Sheriff Chandler, his smile became more and more sarcastic, “Sheriff Chandler, you are an upright gentleman, so you can’t imagine how terrible a person can be when he is evil.”

Sheriff Chandler was taken aback by what Rael said. He turned his head and glanced at Evan with a look of distress in his eyes.

Evan pursed his lips slightly, and asked with a solemn expression on his face, “Evil?” There was a hint of doubt in his tone, “We have all heard that Mr Johnson committed a crime of greed, but you also say he is evil, isn’t that too much?” If you want to know the truth, you still need to use some incentives when necessary.

Rael was really irritated by Evan’s words. He looked at Evan suddenly, with an abnormal blush on his face, breathing roughly, “If you don’t know the truth, don’t just judge things with what you see. That Mr Johnson, I am the only one who knows what he did!”

Evan raised his eyebrows and glanced at the police officer, Pete, who was standing beside him and suddenly he felt enlightened, “Oh? For example, he let you disguise yourself as a woman?”

There was a hint of a joke in Evan’s tone, but Rael’s cheeks were still blushing, “You…you…” He gasped heavily.

Evan waved his hand apologetically, “Oh, I’m sorry, did I say something wrong? Or is this your hobby?” (Evan is being mean )

Sheriff Chandler was amused by Evan’s words, while Rael’s face turned red and purple.

“It’s not my hobby!” The words seemed to come out through his teeth.

Evan nodded as if he suddenly realized something, “So it is. Then it is Mr Johnson’s special hobby. This is really a terrible thing.” At this time, Evan remembered his mission as a clergyman and crossed his chest.

Rael glared at Evan fiercely. He didn’t realize that this priest was so mean. He turned to leave.

Sheriff Chandler also seemed to realize something at this time and he looked embarrassed. To be honest, he knew some of the evil deeds some high-level nobles commit in private but he did not expect that Mr Johnson, such a gentleman who is very respectable and has a good relationship with him, would do such a thing.

“Stop him!” Sheriff Chandler waved at Constable Pete, who was standing aside.

Pete was also shocked by such a scandal. Sheriff Chandler said it twice before he reacted and he hurriedly followed after Rael.

Watching Rael leave, Sheriff Chandler looked at Evan with an uncomfortable look and said, “This is really terrible. Mr Johnson turned out to be such…such a person.”

Evan sighed, lowered his head and pondered for a moment before he said, “That’s how things are in this world. The most decent looking things are actually the dirtiest. Mr Johnson is really disappointing…”

“What a disappointment!” Before Evan could finish speaking, a cold female voice suddenly came from the kitchen.

Evan was startled and looked back, only to see Mrs Johnson walk out of the kitchen with a blank expression. Evan frowned, annoyed. He was so excited that he forgot that Mrs Johnson was still in the kitchen.

“Oh, ma’am, you…you…” Sheriff Chandler was obviously at a loss at this time.

Mrs Johnson waved her hand mockingly, “Oh, come on, Sheriff, you don’t have to try to comfort me. I know what kind of person my own husband is, but at this point, I didn’t expect him to be so shameless.”

Mrs Johnson was obviously angry, her tone was very angry and her eyes were slightly red.

Sheriff Chandler was not good at dealing with women, so he was a little embarrassed and didn’t know what to say.

Evan sighed in his heart and could only come forward, “Mrs Johnson, this is a very sad thing, but please take care of your health and don’t be disturbed by such things.”

Mrs Johnson sneered and her whole person looked dejected, “How can I not be disturbed by such a thing? As long as Rael goes through the trial, the whole town will know how disgusting he is and when that happens, I’m afraid I will not be able to stay here any more.”

When Mrs Johnson mentioned this, Evan and the sheriff were silent. To be honest, it was a dead end. They couldn’t prevent Rael from being tried. As long as Rael goes on trial, he will say these things. Maybe only this will make the judge sympathize with him, and as long as this kind of thing spreads, although Mrs Johnson is also a victim, she will also be disturbed by the rumors it will cause.

Facing the silence of Evan and the sheriff, Mrs Johnson was actually prepared. She sighed, turned around and left without saying a word.

When Mrs Johnson left, Sheriff Chandler and Evan looked at each other for a while, but did not speak for a long time.

“I…” Sheriff Chandler was about to speak to ease the atmosphere, when suddenly, a woman’s scream came from outside, “Oh My God! What the hell is going on?! William! What the hell is going on here?! Why is my garden like this?!”

Sheriff Chandler visibly shrank when he heard the shrill female voice, he glanced at Evan pleadingly for help but Evan could only spread out his hands to show that he was powerless. Of all the women in this world, there was only Mrs Chandler who Evan could do nothing to.

Mrs Chandler rushed in and even smiled at Evan, and then all the firepower was aimed at Sheriff Chandler. She shouted angrily, making Sheriff Chandler even forget what his main job was today. Evan took this opportunity to sneak out of Sheriff Chandler’s house. He didn’t want to wait until Sheriff Chandler finally reacted and told Mrs. Chandler the person who planned this.

Evan walked towards the Delanlier Church with a relaxed expression. Since he came to this era and met so many people, it was only at this moment that he really felt relaxed and felt that he had finally integrated into this era and he even helped Sheriff Chandler get out of trouble. Such a ‘noble’ behavior was unthinkable in his previous life, he seemed to have been shaped into a cold and selfish villain by that era. But here, somehow, he suddenly felt that life could be so simple and warm.

When Evan returned to the church, it was already dark and Mrs Sanders had already lit all the candles in the church. At this time, she was sitting in front of the statue and doing her evening prayers with her hands clasped. Evan’s arrival interrupted her prayers.

“Reverend Bruce?” Mrs. Sanders looked up at Evan, startled by the apparent look of joy on his face, “Did something good happen?”

Evan smiled and nodded, “Isn’t it a good thing that Sheriff Chandler caught the murderer of Mr Johnson?”

Mrs Sanders breathed a long sigh of relief, “Oh, that’s really good. After spending so long worrying about it, he finally caught the person. Who is this lunatic?” Mrs Sanders was also a little curious.

Evan stretched out his hand and lit the holy water, made a sign of the cross and recited a prayer before saying, “It’s Mr Rael.”

“Rael?” Mrs Sanders frowned, she seemed to not have a good impression of him. No, in fact, in the whole town of Delanlier, no one has a very good impression of Rael.

“The one who did the horrible things forbidden in the Bible?” For a devout like Mrs Sanders, she couldn’t say a good word about homosexuality.

Evan pursed his lips cautiously, “Yes.”

“Oh, my God! Such a thing is really a disaster, no wonder God also forbids such a thing from happening.” Mrs Sanders made a sign of the cross on her chest as she looked a little excited.

Evan’s throat felt a little dry. He thought about the relationship between him and Duke Wilson. He seemed to have underestimated the resistance of the people in this era towards this matter.

“Has anyone come to look for me?” Evan changed the subject at the right time.

Speaking of this, Mrs Sanders gave Evan a strange look and whispered, “Oh, yes, Mr Ford came to look for you once.”

“Ford?” Evan frowned, “What did he come to do here?”

“Mr Ford looked a little strange this time.” Mrs Sanders showed a confused expression on her face, “He seemed to be very anxious to see you. He said that there is something important he has to tell you, but you didn’t tell me your whereabouts before you left so I had to let him leave first.”

Evan’s frowning eyebrows got deeper and deeper. It’s so weird that Ford has anything to do with him.

(Oh great, Ford is back. I wonder what plan he’s come up with this time. ‍️).
