Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 694

There was a lot of discussion around them. People even set up a gambling table in front of Rachel.

Rachel did not show much emotion on her face. She only took a deep breath.

Just as Rachel was about to agree, Chris, who was standing behind her, grabbed Rachel’s hand and squeezed it

tightly in a warning. “Miss Grey, Boss is still waiting for you.”

Chris did not say it explicitly, but her eyes were filled with deep meaning, indicating Rachel not to be rash.

Chris had never gambled on stones before and did not understand the rules. However, Chris knew that gambling on

stones was more about luck than experience.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be called a gamble.

Although Chris did not know what Mr. Davies’ goal was, Mr. Davies had never lost.

As a subordinate, Chris knew that she had crossed the line.

However, due to her selfishness, Chris did not want Rachel to be in danger.

Rachel looked down at Chris’s hand. Rachel curled her lips a little and smiled. “I thought you couldn’t wait to see me

make a fool of myself.”

Chris was a straightforward person. She made it clear when it came to her likes and dislikes. Chris wouldn’t hide her

thoughts.

Rachel knew that Chris didn’t like her, but she was a little surprised that Chris stood up for her now.

Chris pursed her lips. “I…”

“Don’t worry.” Rachel held Chris’ hand and patted it gently.

Rachel leaned over and whispered into Chris’s ear, “Be good. Remember to buy a portion for me when you place

your bet.”

Chris was speechless.

Chris wondered if Rachel had become arrogant.

That was Mr. Davies Rachel was dealing with. Why was Rachel so confident about winning?

Did Rachel really think that she could do whatever she wanted with David backing her up?

Seeing Rachel turn around and leave, Chris subconsciously turned to look at Heavenly Private Room upstairs.

“This woman is really…” Thomas thought for a while. He wanted to say that Rachel overestimated herself. But

considering that David was present, Thomas said tactfully, “She’s really bold.”

Putting aside whether Rachel could win or not, her courage and calmness in the face of danger were enough to

impress people.

“I hope that she is lucky enough this time.”

Hearing this, David moved his eyebrows slightly. “Her luck has always been good.”

Thomas raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, “Is that so?”

Everyone looked at Rachel with sympathy in their hearts.

Mr. Davies was a big shot in the stone gambling world and had never lost in the past few years.

On the other hand, Rachel was just a newbie. She had overestimated herself by agreeing to this bet.

“Miss, I’ll let you choose first. I don’t want you to think that I’m bullying you because of my qualifications.” Mr.

Davies placed one hand behind his back and held a wine glass with the other hand in front of his chest. Mr. Davies’

every move revealed a hint of

arrogance.

Rachel looked up at Mr. Davies and smiled. “It’s a virtue to respect the elders. You’re an elder, please go ahead

first.” Upon hearing this, Mr. Davies’ expression changed slightly. Mr. Davies’ gaze changed rapidly, but he quickly

regained his composure. “Alright, I won’t stand on ceremony then.” “Please go ahead,” Rachel said. When Mr.

Davies walked past Rachel, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a complicated and dark light flashed across his eyes.

Walking to the round table, Mr. Davies’ sharp gaze swept across the stones on the table. After careful speculation,

he finally chose the stone with the number 405. “Young lady, your turn.” Rachel placed her hands behind her back

and observed every stone. Rachel’s eyes were lowered, and her curly and thick eyelashes were like butterfly wings,

imprinting a faint shadow under her

eyes.

After careful selection, Rachel chose the stone with the number

1123.

It was a stone the size of an adult man’s palm. The surface of the stone was uneven, and the patterns were

extremely messy.

When people saw Rachel’s choice, they immediately lost interest in watching the show.

“This is definitely a loss.”

“After playing for so many years, anyone with a little experience knows that stone is not a good choice.”

“How dare you compete with Mr. Davies? You’re asking for trouble!”

“Fortunately, I bet on Mr. Davies. Otherwise, I would have lost everything tonight.” “No matter what, she was the

one who picked the Pink Sappire just now. However, the stone she picked this time is really a bad choice.” “What’s

so strange about that? Maybe it’s just blind luck!” Everyone spoke one after another, not hiding their mockery of

Rachel. However, Rachel acted as if she did not hear the people. Rachel looked at Mr. Davies and said in a polite yet

equal manner, “After you.” Mr. Davies looked at the stone in Rachel’s hand and narrowed his eyes. There was a

complicated dark glint in his eyes. It was a typical Mohertha secondary gemstone with a few visible. color bands on

the surface. However, the more obvious the characteristics, the higher the risk.

Mr. Davies didn’t say anything. He just gave the person beside.

him a look.

That person instantly understood.

After the first cut, everyone cried out in surprise.

“It’s green! As expected of Mr. Davies!”

“Isn’t this a sure win!”

Amidst everyone’s exclamations, the second cut was made.

Mr. Davies didn’t show any joy when he saw that the stone was full of green and without any blemishes. It seemed

like everything was within Mr. Davies’ expectations.

Mr. Davies swang the glass in his hand calmly. He turned to look

at Rachel and said with a faint smile, “Miss, it’s your turn.”

“Thank you,” Rachel said as she handed the stone in her hand to the cutter in charge. “Cut it from here.”

The cutter frowned when he saw where Rachel was pointing. “Have you thought it through? If the cut is not done

well, the entire stone might be destroyed.”

Stones were usually wrapped in a shell, so no one knew if it was good or bad inside. Therefore, most people would

carefully cut open a thin lid from the side.

This way, not only would the risk be reduced, but it could also allow people to decide how to cut it according to the

transparency inside.

But Rachel pointed to precisely the waistline of the stone, the most critical place.

If crac ks appeared during the cutting, the value of this stone. would be greatly reduced.

Rachel said, “Go ahead.”

Seeing that Rachel had ignored the cutter’s kind reminder, everyone was disdainful. They looked at Rachel as if she

was a joke.

People did not have much hope for Rachel. In fact, they had already imagined what would happen to Rachel.

“Miss, I think you should stop competing. Just admit that you are no equal opponent to Mr. Davies.”

“Mr. Davies’ position is irreplaceable. If you sincerely ask for forgiveness, I believe he won’t pursue your mistake.”

“Previously, when you opened the Pink Sappire, we thought you were an expert. But now, your mistake is getting

more and more ridiculous.”

Seeing that Rachel was a young girl, the cutter guessed that it was inevitable for young people to be arrogant. The

cutter patiently and kindly persuaded Rachel, “Miss, if you ask me, let’s cut a small window according to the usual

practice. What do you think?”

“No, cut it from here!” Rachel insisted on cutting it from the middle.

Seeing Rachel’s stubborn attitude, the cutter shook his head helplessly and sighed. He could only follow her

instructions and cut it from the middle.
