Chapter 122

Rachel Grey could revive the Smith family with ease, given her capabilities. Similarly, she could also

make the Smith family lose everything overnight.

Back then, Rachel had resolutely chosen Louis Smith at the cost of cutting ties with the Johnson family.

Mary Green had never understood what Rachel was after.

Money? The value of assets of the Johnson family was roughly estimated to be in the tens of billions.

Power? The Johnson family was at the pinnacle of the socio–economic level in Seaxas. No other

families could come close to them.

So was Rachel after Louis Smith himself?

But Louis was just a poor loser back then when the Smith family was facing bankruptcy.

Rachel pursed her lips. After pondering for a long time, she said calmly, “Let’s just take it that I owe

him.”

If Louis had not saved her by chance five years ago, Rachel Grey would have long disappeared from

this world.

This was the reason why she spared the Smith family.

After hanging up the phone, Rachel informed Lucas Johnson to immediately remove the trending

searches.

Rachel let out a sigh. Before she could react, she felt her surroundings darken. In front of her was a

dark figure.

The man’s slender fingers grabbed her chin, and his well–defined face inched closer. His dark eyes

were piercing. “Tell me, is Louis Smith the reason why you refuse to marry me?”

Rachel frowned slightly. There was an imperceptible coldness in her eyes. “Is a scumbag worth me

sacrificing all my youth for?”

Hearing this, David Jones smiled meaningfully. “Then why did you spare the Smith family?”

Whether it was the Johnson family’s wealth or Rachel’s ability, there were many ways to ruin the Smith

Group, but she chose to stay put. This made him curious about her reasons for doing so.

It was not necessarily true that Rachel had deep feelings for the Smith family.

Rachel’s lips curled up. Her usually cold demeanor instantly brightened. No one could resist her striking

beauty. “No one can stop me if I intend to acquire the Smith Group.”

David had the utmost confidence in Rachel’s capabilities, for she was able to get the Smith Group back

on track in just one year.

However, Rachel did not answer his question.

David did not question further since she didn’t want to talk about it.

Chapter 192

It was never Louis who made David feel threatened, but the three years that Rachel had wasted on

Louis.

However, the fact that Rachel called Louis Smith ” a scumbag” was enough to show that she had

completely let go of the past.

In that case, the reason she was unwilling to lay her hands on the Smith family was not entirely

because of Louis.

“Then why won’t you marry me?” David repeated his question.

Rachel looked at him and chuckled. “I am of the opinion that there is a certain process to marriage.”

“Process?”

That was a new perspective for David.

From what he knew since he was young, he had to get what he liked. The process was not important;

the outcome was.

“From meeting each other, to knowing each other, to loving each other, to living and being together…

These processes seem simple, but we need time to get used to each other. I think the ideal love is

sticking together in every difficult situation and tribulation.”

This had always been the kind of love that Rachel yearned for.

David observed her expression. He did not miss the yearning on her face when she was speaking. He

felt that even the stars in the skies could not be compared to the beauty in her eyes.

He pursed his lips and looked at Rachel warmly. “I’ll do that if that’s what you want.”
