Chapter 674
Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David)
Chapter 674
Before Jimmy could gulp down the wine in his mouth, he choked on Graysonâs words and coughed
repeatedly.
His foot, which was hidden under the table, kicked him angrily. Then, he deliberately lowered his voice.
âAre you f**king done?â
They had been good friends for many years, which was why he was trying hard to get Grayson out of
trouble at the moment.
However, this stubborn man was out of his mind. He insisted on finding a shortcut on the path to death!
Grayson looked innocent after being kicked, but he ignored Jimmy. Instead, he stared straight at
Rachel as if he was confirming something.
Seeing him like this. Thomas put down the wine glass in his hand. When he took a warm handkerchief
to wipe his hands, he deliberately lowered his voice and warned, âStop, for G*dâs sake!â
He was blatantly coveting Davidâs woman, which made people present wonder if he was courting
death. On the other hand, Georgia looked at Rachel with a gossipy expression. A meaningful smile
flashed across her eyes.
Under everyoneâs confused gaze, Grayson said with a serious expression, âMiss Grey, have you
participated in the international military competition before?â
Rachel paused for a moment.
She raised her eyes and looked at Grayson, holding the wine glass between her fingers and shook it
slightly. She said in a dignified manner, âYes, I have.â
âI told you I wouldnât get it wrong!â Grayson slapped his thigh excitedly, a relieved smile appearing on
his face. âI saw you in the qualifier a few years ago.â
In an instant, everyoneâs gaze fell on Rachel.
The international military competition?
Qualifier?
Everyone knew that this competition had extremely high requirements for military literacy, as well as
extremely high requirements for oneâs physical fitness and professionalism.
Most of the participants were men. Even if a woman obtained the qualification to participate, she would
often be eliminated in the third round of the selection
However, Rachel made it to the qualifier?
Everyone looked at Rachelâs thin arms and legs. It was hard for them to imagine how she faced such
torturous training.
âGrayson, did you get the wrong person?â Georgia managed to regain some rationality in her shock.
She tore her gaze away from Rachel with difficulty and looked at Grayson. She pursed her lips stiffly.
âMiss Grey just said that she is average-looking. Youâ¦â
âNo!â Grayson said firmly, interrupting Georgia. âA few years ago, I was invited to visit the selection
camp. Miss Grey was indeed present at that time.â
Among the burly group of men, Rachelâs existence was indeed eye-catching.
Her attractive face was like a white rose that stood out from the mud, pure and beautiful.
âI didnât expect Mr. Bowes to remember the past so clearly.â Rachel looked at Grayson with a faint
smile.
She did not want others to know about what happened during that period of time.
When she participated in that match, she was still angry with Lucas. She was completely deceived in a
fit of pique.
She had thought that this matter would not be known by outsiders, but now, it was exposed by
Grayson.
Grayson did not seem to understand the deeper meaning of her words. He only thought that Rachelâs
words were really praising his good memory. âItâs not that I have a good memory, but Miss Greyâs
results were really outstanding. Itâs also because youâre the first to reject the invitation from the head of
state and the only person to reject the exceptional admission qualification.â
Grayson still remembered Rachel proudly and confidently saying âI donât careâ in front of everyone.
This was the reason why he could remember it so clearly.
Rachel still had an elegant smile on her lips, but her eyes could not hide her intention to tear him apart.
âThis guy just canât understand what I mean, can he?â she wondered.
She held the knife in her hand. As the light flashed past, it reflected a cold light.
Landon interjected in time, âEveryone, letâs eat, okay?â
The others nodded and agreed.
Rachel ate silently, but there was a hint of impatience in her eyes.
Everyoneâs gaze fell on her from time to time, which was really difficult to ignore.
She was about to get up and leave, but David brought the cut steak to her and even thoughtfully picked
up the side dishes.
Now, Rachel had no choice but to eat.
When Georgia saw this, she felt uncomfortable again. She held the knife and fork tightly with both
hands
and cut her food hard in secret.
After eating, Rachel pulled off her napkin and stood up to leave. âIâll go to the restroom. You guys just
keep eating.â
âIâll accompany you.â David put down the knife and fork in his hand. Just as he was about to get up,
Rachel placed a hand on his shoulder. âNo need. Besides, Chrisâs accompanying me, right?â
With that, she turned around and left.
After Rachel left, Georgia couldnât help but ask Grayson curiously, âHave you really seen her in the
international military competition?â
âDidnât Miss Grey admit it herself?!â Grayson said.
At this moment, David raised the glass of wine in his hand and took a sip. He placed the glass on the
table and made a clear sound, which was like a silent warning.
Georgiaâs heart tightened. She pursed her lips stiffly. âI just think that itâs unbelievableâ¦â
She thought that Rachel was just a pretty but worthless woman.
If Rachel had participated in the international military competition, however, it would be different.
Compared to Georgiaâs surprise, Jimmy and Landon were much calmer.
After all, they had seen Rachel fight eight at the same time.
Initially, they thought that Rachel had Lucas as her âprivate coachâ, so it was natural for her to know
something about military combat skills. Now, they realized how naive they were in the past.
At this moment, Thomas was slowly cutting the steak. He looked up at David and said casually, âYour
fiancée just taught us a lesson. You canât judge a book by its cover.â
When he first saw Rachel, he was indeed stunned by her eye-catching face.
Her attractive face made it easy for people to ignore the abilities she had.
David shook the wine glass as he looked at the rose-colored liquid sliding in the glass like a blooming
rose. âAs the granddaughter of the richest family in Seaxas, the Johnson family, sheâs not to be
underestimated,â
Every word of his was filled with pride.
However, everyone present knew very well that even if the Johnson family, the richest family in Seaxas.
was rich enough to rival a country, to David, their wealth was not even worth mentioning
He was now looking up to the Johnson family, the richest family in Seaxas, because he loved Rachel
âYeah, a real princess of the Johnson family.â Thomas said
There was no disdain in his words, only indescribable admiration
At the same time. Rachel was led to the sky garden by the staff.
The garden matched the night well.
Amidst the flowers, flying fireflies could be seen.
Rachel sat on the swing and stared at the nearby building. âWhat is that place?â
âThe Olson familyâs property,â Chris said.
Rachel nodded. âThe Olson family, one of the Five Great Families in Aureliana?â
âThatâs right, Chris replied. At the same time, she noticed that the surrounding lights were gradually
dimming, making Rachel stand out under the lights.
An ominous feeling rose in her heart. âMiss Grey, itâs cold at night. Letâs go back now.â
Rachel nodded.
The moment she got up, however, a bullet cut through the air and headed for Rachelâs head
