Chapter 480

“Hi, Rachel.” Jimmy Shain greeted Rachel Grey warmly as he sat next to her.

But at the same time, he was worried that others would notice something amiss, so he could only lower

his voice.

However, everyone else seemed to have misinterpreted this.

Especially Old Mr. Johnson and Old Mr. Shain who looked at each other as a faint smile flashed across

their eyes at once.

Rachel held a knife and fork as she slowly sliced the mushrooms on her plate. She asked, “Just you

alone?”

Jimmy replied, “I asked David before but he said that he wasn’t interested.”

Hearing this, Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly and commented, “It’s indeed quite boring.”

Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, Old Mr. Johnson commented aptly, “Rae-Rae, you

and Mr. Shain seem to hit it off quite well.”

Rachel looked up at Old Mr. Johnson. Noticing his expression, her eyebrows twitched as she put down

the knife and fork in her hand and was about to explain. However, the head of the Chamber of

Commerce, Sam Turner, rushed over and announced, “Everyone, a distinguished guest has arrived!”

A distinguished guest?

Could it be the one from the Jones family from Aureliana?

The respective heads of the Four Families looked at each other and stood up in unison.

“Was there supposed to be any other distinguished guest today?”

“Not that I know of, but since the Four Families seem to respect the person so much, it must be

someone important.”

“I heard that a special invitation would be sent out every Chamber of Commerce. I’ve heard that the

person they invited is a mysterious big shot!”

A group of young socialites was discussing the mysterious guest, but at the same time, they were also

busy touching up their makeup.

Compared to them, Rachel appeared to be exceptionally calm.

She looked at Jimmy and asked in a low voice, “Didn’t you say that he wasn’t coming?”

“He did say that he wouldn’t be coming,” Jimmy replied.

He felt puzzled. What exactly was going on?

Before he came, he had even specially called David and David had said he wouldn’t come. So what

was he doing here now?

Just as he was consumed in his thoughts, Marina Jones walked in with everyone surrounding her.

Jimmy frowned slightly and questioned, “F**k! What is this old woman doing here?”

Hearing this, Rachel lifted her eyebrows slightly as a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Old woman…

Looks like Marina Jones seemed to be quite disliked by the others.

Marina walked in surrounded by many people. When she saw Rachel sitting in front, her eyes

narrowed and the smile on her face dulled a little.

“Miss Grey, looks like we’re really fated.”

Upon hearing that, everyone’s eyes landed on Rachel.

Rachel smiled calmly and replied, “That’s right. I didn’t expect to see you again.” Marina had never

attended the Seaxas Chamber of Commerce all these. years. The fact that she came uninvited this

time was probably not just due to ‘fate’, Marina turned and her gaze landed on Jimmy again. An

unknown coldness. flashed in the depths of her beautiful eyes.

She could tell that David cared a great deal about Rachel.

Not only did he personally take action last night, he even arranged for Jimmy to sit beside her.

Although doing this would ensure Rachel’s safety, it would also expose that she was his weakness.

She would like to see whether David would be able to protect her for the rest of her life!

“Everyone, there’s no need to cause a stir.” Marina looked up and glanced at everyone. She continued,

“I heard that today is the Seaxasth Chamber of Commerce, which is held once every three years. Since

the heads of the Four Families are here, I was curious and hence, came uninvited. Please forgive me

for any inconvenience I may have caused.”

Her words were polite, but no one could sense a hint of apology in her words.

Everyone could vaguely sense that the woman in front of them was not easy to get along with, but they

could only be respectful.

They had no choice as she came from the Jones family from Aureliana!
