Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 837

It seemed like a casual guess, but he had accurately guessed David’s plan.

Rachel’s appearance tonight attracted a lot of attention from the opposite gender.

All these years, the Johnson family had hidden Rachel well. Not only was her identity unknown to many, but she had

never appeared in front of everyone like this.

Her appearance was undoubtedly a surprise for tonight’s banquet.

It was hard to find many men who could restrain their eyes when faced with the stunning and captivating beauty of

exquisite facial features and a balanced figure.

Moreover, with David’s possessiveness, how could he let other men covet his woman so openly?

Therefore, Jimmy could easily confirm that David’s actions tonight were most likely to declare his sovereignty.

David didn’t say anything about his guess.

“What do you think David meant?” Jimmy gave Landon a look.

Landon raised his hand and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. A meaningful dark glint flashed across his

eyes. “Since he is keeping quiet, you’re most likely right.”

Hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on Jimmy’s face, making his long and narrow eyes look a little

flirtatious.

On the other side, after Rachel left the restroom, she was not in a hurry to return to David’s side. Instead, she went

to Old Mr. Johnson’s seat

“Grandpa,” she whispered.

When Old Mr. Johnson saw her, he waved at her and gestured for her to sit beside him.

She had just sat down when she heard Old Mr. Johnson’s deep voice. “Have you thought it through?”

Although his words were not explicit, Rachel knew the deeper meaning behind Old Mr. Johnson’s words.

“Tve thought it through.” Rachel nodded.

If she hadn’t done her consideration, she wouldn’t have agreed to David’s proposal.

Hearing this, Old Mr. Jolinson didn’t say anything else. “When do you plan to get married?”

“Well Rachel’s eyes flashed with surprise. She did not expect her grandfather’s attitude to change so quickly, nor

did she expect him to take the initiative to mention marriage.

Seeing that she did not answer for a long time, Old Mr. Johnson frowned slightly. “Why? He doesn’t want to marry

you?”

“No.” Rachel quickly explained, “I didn’t expect you to agree.”

She thought that with her grandfather’s initial attitude of opposing her and David being together, he would still be

against them being together. She did not expect him to agree to their marriage.

“At this point, I still insist on my original view,” Old Mr. Johnson said.

Even though he verbally agreed to Rachel being with David, it was not what he truly felt deep within.

He took a deep breath and looked at the expression on Rachel’s face. After hesitating, he said unhurriedly. “Rae-

Rae, with David’s identity and status, there are too many dangerous factors around him. Will you be happy with

him?”

Without waiting for Rachel to speak, Old Mr. Johnson continued, “Till now, no one knows how deep the power

behind David is, but everyone has long heard of his methods. He’s like a time bomb with too many hidden dangers.

You can’t control him at all. It’s not a good choice to enter a relationship with him hastily.”

“You like to overthink.” Lucas’s lazy and low voice sounded from the side. “Now that David has announced his

relationship openly, it’s to force you to acknowledge this marriage. Therefore, I advise you not to waste your

breath.”

“Besides, relationships are all about mutual affection. I don’t think David will let Rae-Rae suffer.”

Hearing his confident answer, Old Mr. Johnson glared at him angrily and said with a fake smile, “You know a lot

more now, When you see Miriam, you’re like a block of wood!”

Lucas was speechless.

Alright, he had gotten himself into trouble.

Looking at Rachel’s absent-minded look, Lucas patted her shoulder. “Don’t listen to the old man. There is no need

to

overthink too.”

His thoughts were simple. Since Rachel and David loved each other, it was alright for them to be in a relationship.

He wanted Rachel to marry someone she wanted to marry.

“Who am I doing this for? It’s all for her sake!” A hint of anger appeared in Old Mr. Johnson’s eyes.

Others might not know which path Rachel and David took when they were together, but he knew very well.

He watched Rachel grow up. All these years, they had been together day and night, and their relationship was not

inferior to that of father and daughter How could he sit back and do nothing?

“Grandpa, can you tell me why you’re so against it?”

This question had been bothering Rachel.

She tried to guess, but she could not guess at all.

However, her intuition told her there must be hidden motives behind all this.

Upon hearing this, Lucas could not help but look at Old Mr. Johnson inquisitively, patiently waiting for his answer.

Old Mr. Johnson’s eyes flickered slightly. “What can it be? I’m just worried that you’ll suffer a loss.”

Hearing this. Rachel and Lucas looked at each other, and a meaningful dark light flashed in their eyes.

Rachel sat in the seat that belonged to the Johnson family for about 20 minutes before getting up to leave.

As she walked through the long corridor, she vaguely heard someone talking.

“I only promised you not to involve her, but she has to walk her path. It’s her own choice that things have come to

this point. Ronnie leaned lazily on the handrail of the stairs. his fingertips rubbing the bone ring on his index finger.

His figure was hidden in the half-light, making his exquisite face even more eye-catching.

His brows were slightly raised, and his thin lips were slightly curved. His lips curled into a faint arc that revealed a

hint of evilness, forming a sharp contrast with his angelic face.

Ronnie turned around and saw Rachel’s figure. The evil aura between his eyebrows could not help but be

restrained. A faint gentle light appeared in his eyes. “I still have something on. I’ll hang up first.”

With that, he hung up.

“I haven’t seen you for a few days. Miss Grey, you’re even more beautiful than before.” His praise was not flattery,

but it sounded sincere.

Rachel curled her lips into a faint smile. “It can’t compare to Mr. Dickens.”

“Miss Grey is too humble.” Ronnie looked at her up and down. “You’re so beautiful. Maybe we were family in our

previous life.”

It was just a casual joke. Rachel naturally wouldn’t be too serious. “Is being beautiful means being a member of

your family? Mr. Diekens, your requirements are not high.”

“There are many types of beauty, Ronnie explained with a serious expression. “Some beauty is fleeting, leaving no

lasting impression. Some beauty is stunning at first sight but lacks ty upon closer examination. However, there

is a kind of beauty that attracts covetous gazes. Making people want to destroy it if they cannot possess it.”

He paused before continuing. “Miss Grey falls into the third category. The kind of beauty that attracts covetous

gazes, making people want to destroy you if they cannot possess you.”

Hearing this, Rachel frowned slightly.

The corners of Ronnie’s mouth curled up into a pure and harmless smile. “But don’t worry, Miss Grey. I won’t give

those people a chance.
