Chapter 652
Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David)
Chapter 652
âTo have dinner with your sister,â Zion replied.
Lucas stared at him for a moment and could not help but exclaim, âFuck, are you serious?â
Back then, he had made a bet with Zion and lost. However, he was unwilling to not get an advantage,
so he decided to introduce his sister, Rachel, to him.
He thought that it would be great if he could really get Zion to call him brother-in-law respectfully.
However, he didnât expect Zion to take his joke seriously!
âA gentleman never goes back on his word. Are you going back on your word?â Zion raised an eyebrow
slightly.
Lucas pursed his lips and suddenly had a wicked idea. He patted Zionâs shoulder and said earnestly,
âIâm sure youâve heard about the relationship between Rac-Rae and David Jones. But to be honest,
compared to him, I think more highly of you. Weâve known each other for so many years and are close
friends for having gone through life and death together. If I can really entrust my sister to you, I can die
in peace.â
Zion played with a lighter with his fingertips. His thin lips curled up into a thought-provoking smile. âYou
say that Iâm your close friend on the surface, but are secretly planning to trick me behind my back?â
âWeâve been close friends for so many years. Do you think that lowly of me?â Lucas retorted.
Zion smiled meaningfully. With one hand in his pocket, he walked straight into the elevator.
Lucas shrugged and left.
After walking out of Johnson Corporation, he saw Thomas Shain, heir of the Shain family, which was
one of the Four Families of Seaxas.
Seeing how well-dressed he was, Lucas raised an eyebrow slightly. The corners of his mouth curled
into a faint smile that revealed a hint of evilness. âItâs getting interesting today.â
Just as he was thinking about it, a black Rolls-Royce parked at the door arrogantly.
As the car door opened, a pair of straight and slender legs came into view.
The moment the man appeared in front of the car, the surrounding passersby could not help but
Their eyes were filled with admiration and love.
gasp.
âOh my god, how can anyone be so handsome?â
âI declare he has my heart now!â
âDonât call my mother and tell her Iâm pregnant. I want to marry this man!â
As usual, David was wearing a black suit.
His well-tailored suit accentuated his tall and straight figure, and his every move exuded an
unconcealable sharpness.
His facial features were exquisite and well-defined, just like a work of art.
His noble and indifferent aura carried a strong sense of oppression and intimidation.
His
presence contrasted with the common men around him, who looked like clowns next to him. Compared
to the crazed looks of the women, Lucas was secretly looking forward to the bloodshed that was
deemed to happen.
It was not every day for him to see three men fighting for a woman.
Initially, Lucas wanted to follow them but was interrupted by Tomâs call. âThereâs a problem at the
research institute. Get over there immediately!â
Hearing this, Lucasâs eyes darkened. âGot it.â
After hanging up the phone, he rushed to the research institute.
At the same time, David also received a call from Jimmy. âDavid, there is a new data report for 101
Institute. Iâll send it to you now.â
âMhm.â David replied in a lukewarm tone.
âUm⦠Jimmy hesitated.
He pursed his lips and thought for a moment. âAre you really planning to bring her back to Aureliana?â
âMhm. David replied without much change in tone.
âDavid, to be honest, I think you need to consider this matter carefully,â Jimmy said. âYou know better
than me what it means to bring her back. Letâs not talk about how long youâve known each other. Can
she really survive in Aureliana with her ability?â
David was an existence that even the Elders had to be wary of.
Over the years, the Elders seemed to have been minding their own business as David minded his
Own.
However, they had been trying to control David behind the scenes.
Originally, the Elders knew of Rachelâs existence and saw her as a breakthrough point. They tried to
attack her to achieve their goal of restraining David.
Once David brought her back, it would be like he had confirmed this in person.
This would only make the Elders more unscrupulous.
At that time, what awaited Rachel would be endless assassinations.
Even with Rachelâs amazing abilities and background, these were nothing in front of the Elders and the
Jones family.
Entering the elevator, David looked at the distant sun and said indifferently, âIâm here for her.â His deep
voice was neither warm nor passionate, without the slightest fluctuation of emotion.
However, Jimmy could hear the arrogant and unbridled aura that belonged solely to David. Jimmyâs
heart skipped a beat.
At that moment, he knew that this man who made the Elders tremble in fear indeed had a weakness.
Jimmy was speechless. After pondering for a long time, he said, âI hope sheâs worth your sacrifice.â
After hanging up, David walked out of the elevator.
Amidst the adoring discussions, David walked straight toward Rachelâs office.
When he reached the door, he heard Zionâs voice coming from the room clearly. âShall we have dinner
together tonight?â
As soon as he finished speaking, Eddie Brook sensed that the atmosphere around him chilled
suddenly. The air seemed to have frozen over.
Thinking about it, anyone would be angry if someone went after oneâs lover in front of oneâs face. In the
office, Zion obviously came prepared. Not only did he choose the restaurant opposite Johnson
Corporation, but he also investigated Rachelâs schedule early. âSo I donât think you have any reason to
reject me today.â
Rachel rolled her eyes helplessly. âZion, I know that weâve only met once, so I canât understand why
you like me.â
She felt that all of this was simply inexplicable.
âI guess you really donât rememberâ¦â
Before Zion could finish, a cold voice came from behind him. âOf course, she doesnât need to
remember.â
Hearing the familiar voice, Rachelâs eyebrows twitched.
She looked up abruptly and was caught off guard when she met Davidâs dark and deep eyes. Her heart
seemed to tighten and she held her breath.
She took a deep breath and adjusted her breathing. She slowly walked forward and took his hand. The
moment her slightly cold fingertips touched the manâs palm, his wide palm reflexively wrapped
around hers.
âSo my fiancée is popular.â David lowered his eyes and looked at her. His cold and indifferent could not
help but soften as he laid eyes on her.
The seemingly teasing words were mixed with unconcealable jealousy.
eyes
Rachel blinked and scratched his palm with her fingertips. âI have sharp eyes. I donât like him.â
Zion was speechless.
What did he do to deserve this?
âDo you want to have dinner together?â
âOf course, my
dear.â
Zionâs expression darkened as he listened to their conversation.
He felt like he had no more business here.
He gave an exasperated snort. âIâm going!â
With that, he turned and left without looking back.
