Chapter 517
Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David)
Chapter 517
Lucas raised his hand and touched the bridge of his nose. He moved closer to Rachel without a trace
and deliberately lowered his voice, âDonât you think that old Mr. Johnson is exceptionally enthusiastic
today?â
Rachel raised her eyebrows and gave him a meaningful look.
Of course, she had sensed it too.
The Shain and Johnson families were friends, but Old Mr. Johnson had never given them much
attention. Otherwise, he would not have waited for so many
years.
However, Old Mr. Johnsonâs attitude toward Thomas was so enthusiastic that Rachel was a little
confused for a moment.
Could it be that Old Mr. Johnson suddenly had any ideas about Thomas and Rachel?
As she was deep in her thoughts, she heard Davidâs voice behind her, âMr. Johnson.â
Rachelâs back stiffened, and a sense of guilt instantly arose in her heart.
She lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at David.
When people present heard this, they looked at David.
He walked over and greeted Old Mr. Johnson respectfully, âMr. Johnson, I have something to talk to
you alone. I wonder if now is a good time?â
Not only Old Mr. Johnson, but the others were also stunned.
After hesitating for a moment, Old Mr. Johnson slowly followed after David.
Lucas and Rachel started discussing in low voices.
âWhat do you think theyâll talk about?â
You
âWhy donât you follow them and take a look?â Rachel looked at Lucas and blinked innocently.
Lucas squinted his eyes at her and snorted, âYouâre not afraid to make me take the risk.â
Rachel blurted out, âItâs all because youâre my brother, isnât it?â
Lucas knew that he couldnât win Rachel in this conversation. So, he simply pulled her hand and left with
her.
âWhat are you doing?â
âGoing to the hunting ground.â
When Thomas saw the two of them leave, he subconsciously wanted to follow them, but he was
suddenly stopped by Jimmy.
Although Thomas and Jimmy were about the same age, Thomas had to address Jimmy as his uncle.
âUncle,â Thomas said.
Jimmy extended his arm and slung it over Thomasâ neck. He said earnestly, âSince youâve been kind
enough to call me your uncle, Iâll give you a piece of advice. Give up on the Johnson familyâs daughter
as soon as possible. The two of you are destined not to be together.â
He patted Thomasâs chest forcefully, âBe smart.â
Thomas, who was rooted to the place, furrowed his brow, a look of seriousness over his otherwise
charming face.
On the other side, Lucas drove for more than an hour and finally arrived at the hunting ground.
Rachel got out of the car, took off her sunglasses, and looked around.
The trees were green and the landscape seemed relaxing. It was an ideal spot for a hunting ground.
They could make excellent use of all the landscape here for very little money.
Dan was the fourth sibling at home, and his name, âDan Harmonâ, was known by a lot of people.
It was early in the morning, and he had invited all the young socialites and wealthy young men of
Seaxas to help build the momentum. The only person absent was the heir to the Johnson family.
Upon seeing the only Venom F5 Roadster car in the entire Seaxas, his eyes lit up. He didnât care to
bother with small talk with anybody else present. He casually handed the wine glass to the guy sitting
next to him and trotted over to greet him. âMr. Johnson.â
Lucas nodded. He walked around, hand in his pocket. âThe scenery here is not bad.â
âBack then, I bought this piece of land because I liked the scenery here.â Dan said, âI wanted to
develop it, but after thinking about it, I thought it would be better to set up such a hunting ground. It
would save much time and money.â
He glanced at Rachel out of the corner of his eye as he talked.
He made covert attempts to understand Rachel and Lucasâs relationship.
After all, the Johnson family had carefully concealed Rachelâs identity throughout her life. Everyone
only knew that the Johnson family had kin who didnât use their
family name, but no one knew who that person was.
Dan was aware of the Chamber of Commerce incident from the previous day. He overheard several
members of the Page family branch discussing some matters. Lucas happened to overhear and
decided to show him how it was done. He apparently drank so much that he had immediate
gastrointestinal bleeding. Finally, an ambulance arrived and whisked him away to get immediate
medical attention.
That man was still recovering in the hospital.
People said that a man would do anything for the beauty he loved. Was the man standing before him?
