Chapter 401

After returning to Seaxas, Rachel devoted herself to her work.

Although the scandal on the cruise ship was not exposed, Jane was sent to the hospital overnight to

recuperate until now. It had already attracted various opinions outside.

“Jane is really stupid.” Mary sneered in disdain. “She has suffered so many losses from you, but she

never learned her lesson.”

Jane actually thought of such a despicable method to drug Rachel.

However, now the Smith family regarded themselves as a wealthy family. How ridiculous!

Mary suddenly thought of something. After hesitating for a while, she could not help but ask, “Did the

Smith family make things difficult for you?”

“How would they make things difficult for me? Jane only has herself to blame.” Rachel picked up her

coffee and took a sip. She looked up at Mary with a meaningful smile in her eyes. “The surveillance

camera was shut down by Jane. No one knows what happened between us. Even if she told what

happened, the recording I have is not for show.”

Hearing this, a relaxed smile appeared on Mary’s face. “Fortunately, you had the foresight. However, I

always feel uneasy. I feel that the Smith family is going to cause trouble.”

Mary had a great understanding of the Smith family,

Jane had first suffered a loss from Rachel, and now Johnson Corporation had directly intercepted

Smith Group’s investment. The Smith family would not let it go no matter what.

“Let’s take it one step at a time,” Rachel said calmly.

In the past, she was lenient with the Smith family, which was equivalent to putting a shackle on herself.

Now that she had removed the shackle, what else did she have to fear?

Moreover, Rachel was not a kind person. Compared to being lenient, she preferred to seek revenge for

the smallest grievance.

The Smith family had disgusted her time and time again. She had no reason to let them off.

As Rachel was thinking, her phone suddenly rang.

She looked down and saw the call from Old Mr. Smith. She frowned slightly.

Rachel pondered for a moment before picking up the phone. “Rae–Rae, it’s me.”

“What’s the matter?”

“I… It’s like this. If it’s convenient for you, can the two of us meet at Joyce’s for a chat? I have

something to tell you alone.”

Just as Rachel was about to reject him, she heard Old Mr. Smith continue, “I’ll wait for you here until

you’re willing to come and see me.”

With that, he hung up without giving Rachel a chance to answer.

Rachel listened to the beeping sound on the phone and helplessly raised her hand to rub her temples.

Mary put on a fake smile and said, “I told you the Smith family wouldn’t let this go, right?”

Hearing this, Rachel glared at her angrily. “It’s all because of your jinxed mouth!”

With that, she got up and packed her things.

Mary happened to go out with her. As Mary walked, she quickly typed on Whatsapp.

The other party replied very quickly. Mary instantly smiled brightly.

“Are you in love again?” Rachel raised her eyebrows and smiled mischievously.

“It’s not a relationship this time.” Mary placed her hands on Rachel’s shoulders and looked at her

solemnly. “I’m going to marry him.”

Rachel frowned slightly and held her hand earnestly. “Marriage is not child’s play, Mary. I think you

need to calm down.”

“Of course, I understand. But when love comes, there’s no stopping it.” Mary said, “Just like when you

met David, can you really remain calm and unmoved?”

Rachel looked at her and suddenly smiled. “I can’t.”

“So, when love comes, don’t think too much about it.”

After the two of them separated from the company, Rachel rushed straight to Joyce’s where she and

Old Mr. Smith had agreed to meet.

After she entered, the manager welcomed her warmly and respectfully. “Miss Grey, nice to see you.”

Rachel nodded slightly and looked around.

The manager rolled his eyes. “Old Mr. Johnson is in the VIP room. Shall I bring you there now?”

When Rachel heard this, she was slightly stunned.

She did not expect her maternal grandfather to be here today.

She smiled. “No need. I have an appointment with someone else.”

As she spoke, she took a step forward. As if she had thought of something, she did not forget to remind

the manager beside her, “Don’t tell anyone that I’m here.”

“Yes, don’t worry.”
