Chapter 219

“No one and nothing can become a reason for you to change yourself.” David stared at her. “You don’t

have to change yourself. I’ll slowly adapt to you…”

Hearing his words, Rachel felt a lump growing in her throat without warning. Warm tears gradually filled

her eyes.

The tears that she had been holding back finally fell uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes, like

broken pearls off a string.

The heartache and panic that David felt at this moment finally defeated the calmness and restraint in

his eyes.

He hurriedly wiped away the tears on Rachel’s face. “Be good, don’t cry. Let me hug you properly.”

Listening to his clumsy coaxing, Rachel could not help but laugh through her tears. “David, do you

know how to console girls or not?”

“Not really.” David frowned slightly and explained seriously, “Actually, I don’t know much about being

gentle, but for you, I’m willing to do my best.” When Rachel heard this, a smile appeared in her wet,

almond–shaped eyes.

After pondering for a while, she said, “Thank you.”

“I’ve said it before, I don’t accept verbal expressions of thanks…”

Before David could react, Rachel kissed him lightly on the lips.

Just like the kiss they shared last night.

It was short but gentle as if everything had just been David’s imagination.

Just as David leaned down, Rachel pressed against his chest. “David, I only

have an hour.”

David frowned slightly and revealed a trace of displeasure as if he were complaining about Rachel

spoiling the mood.

The car arrived at a Chinese restaurant.

The authentic taste whetted Rachel’s appetite as she ate a bowl of rice.

At this moment, her phone on the table suddenly rang.

She took a look and hurriedly swallowed the rice in her mouth, but choked on it and started coughing.

The next second, a well–defined hand handed her a glass of water.

Rachel hurriedly took a sip and picked up the phone.

“Rachel!” Lucas’s deafening voice entered Rachel’s ears through the phone

receiver.

Instinctively, she pulled the phone away from her and said calmly, “I’m here.” “Bullshit! Do you know

that the Internet is filled with posts defaming you!” “They might not be slandering me,” Rachel said.

Lucas gathered something from her words and sneered. “You could fool an idiot with those photos, but

they were like child’s play to me!”

Those photos were a mixture of real and fake ones. Most of them had been. processed and

synthesized through special methods.

“Then why are you asking me about it when you already know?”

Lucas was speechless.

Why did he feel like he had been tricked?

“I’ve already hacked all the posts…”

“Who told you to hack them?!” Rachel said, “Mary and I spent a lot of effort. just to become popular.

Why did you hack them just like that? Now hurry up and release the posts!”

Lucas, who was on the other end of the phone, felt that something was. wrong. He had helped Rachel

out of goodwill. However, not only did this little girl not appreciate it, but she was even accusing him of

doing something wrong!

“Rachel, you’re getting bolder and bolder. Who are you shouting at here? I’m the real godfather of the

Scarlet Cyber Union. I might not agree to help others even if they asked. I’m helping you out of

kindness here, and yet you’re blaming me instead!”

“Did I beg you to help me? Didn’t you take action first without telling me, and then mess up my plan?

Many people want to help me. Even if it were according to the seniority ranking, it wouldn’t ever be your

turn! Every time I

ask

you to help me is to show you some respect. Now that you’re saying this, it’s obvious that you don’t

want that respect even if I offer it to you!”
