Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David)
Chapter 683
After much hesitation, Chris thought of Billyâs warning and ultimately followed along.
However, she maintained a distance and silently followed behind Rachel.
She stared thoughtfully at Rachelâs back.
Ever since she found out about the relationship between Rachel and Vulture, her attitude toward
Rachel had improved a little.
However, this did not mean that she acknowledged Rachel from the bottom of her heart.
In her eyes, Rachel was still not worthy of David.
A woman who could appear by Davidâs side had to add to his glory when he was successful and stand
on her own when facing adversity.
As Chris was thinking, Rachel suddenly stopped her strides.
She stood elegantly on the shore as if she was waiting for someone.

Chris narrowed her eyes and pondered for a moment before walking forward. âMiss Grey, what can I do
for you?â
âItâs indeed very comfortable to interact with smart people.â Rachel looked at Chris and smiled. âIs your
Boss in a difficult situation here?â
Chrisâ pupils constricted. She clearly did not expect Rachel to ask such a question.
She pursed her lips and didnât reply.
Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly and asked emotionlessly, âYou couldnât tell me, or you wouldnât. tell
me?â
These two sentences seemed to be only one word different, but the meaning was completely different.
If she wouldnât say it, it was only her own choice.
If she couldnât say it, it meant that David had already instructed her to hide something.
After pondering for a long time, Chris raised her gaze and looked at Rachel. âMiss Grey, ask when you
already know the answer?â
This seemed to be an answer, but in fact, she threw the question back to Rachel.
The corners of her lips curled up into a playful smile.
Why do you
Chris looked at Rachel and thought for a moment. âDidnât you call the people of Red Flame over as a
precaution?â
âIf I were the one who called them over, they wouldnât have appeared in such a manner.â Rachel looked
at Chris. âBut I canât deny that I did deliberately expose my whereabouts.â
The reason why she could live an ordinary life all these years was because of Lucas Johnson.
She knew very well that as long as she contacted Lone Wolf, her whereabouts would naturally be
exposed.
However, the appearance of Vulture and Blackhawk was much faster than she had imagined.
From this, it could be seen how quickly the Red Flame Armyâs positioning system had developed in just
a few years.
Chris was a straightforward person. She could not hide anything. After hesitating for a long time, she
could not help but ask, âAre you a good fighter?â
From an objective point of view, anyone who could enter the Red Flame Army was definitely not. showy
eye candy.
Therefore, she was very curious about how strong Rachel was.
She could actually make the leader of the Red Flame Action Team dote on her so much.
Rachel raised her hand and casually tidied up the loose hair by her ear. She said meaningfully,
âAnyway, I wonât screw up at the critical moment and drag him down.â
Chris hurriedly nodded. âMiss Grey, youâre being too serious. I donât dare to make wild guesses.â
âBut thatâs what you think.â Rachel put her hands behind her back and leaned toward Chrisâ face. She
smiled mockingly and said, âAnd the answer is written on your face.â
Looking at Rachelâs face that was so close to hers, Chris couldnât help but swallow her saliva, and her
ears turned a slightly unnatural shade of red.
She had to admit that Rachelâs face was breathtakingly beautiful.
Not only men but even women would also be fascinated when they saw it.
While she was still immersed in the shock on Rachelâs face, Rachel had already turned around and
paced forward. âDonât worry. I wonât drag him down.â
These words were not only for Chris but also for herself.
As the daughter of the Johnson family, the wealthiest family in Seaxas, her status didnât even rate at
mention in Aureliana.
Moreover, she was unfamiliar with Aureliana. Even if David wanted to protect her, he might not be able
to do anything at the same time.
She didnât want David to be distracted by her at the critical moment, nor did she want to hide under
Davidâs wings and be unable to do anything.
She wasnât afraid of violence.
She was afraid that she would be a burden to David.
âActually, Boss hasnât been doing well these past few years.â Chris had somehow caught up with
Rachel. She followed behind her step by step and said in a low voice, âThe Jones family is
complicated, with constant conflicts between the main branch and the sub-branches. Even though
Boss has taken over as the head of the family in recent years, there are still those who are eager to
seize
power.
âOn the surface, that group of people looks respectful and obedient to Boss, but theyâve used all kinds
of dirty tricks in secret. For example, the car accident yesterday has long become a common
occurrence over the years,â Chris said.
There was a hint of mockery in her words. She did not take the people from the branch families.
seriously at all.
âThey didnât feel at ease being stepped on by Boss. They even used the excuse of Boss being ruthless
and disregarding kinship to ask the Elders to force Boss to step aside. Isnât the Eldersâ fear of Boss
also a kind of calm before the storm?â
Hearing this, Rachel felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She had never heard David mention this before.
He had always used the simplest words to describe the ups and downs he had experienced over the
years.
Hence, Rachel never knew that he had been attacked from both sides all these years and had never
enjoyed a moment of peace.
However, Davidâs intentional concealment was understandable.
How could a manâs pride allow him to easily reveal the dangers and deaths he had escaped many
times over the years?
Seeing that Rachel was silent, Chris thought that she was afraid. An imperceptible mock flashed.
across her eyes.
âAs expected of Miss Grey, who only knew how to indulge in pleasure. Did she really think that the
position of the Young Mistress of the Jones family is so easy to sit on?â she said inwardly.
âEspecially after Boss brought you back, the branch families kept making secret moves. Itâs obvious
that youâve become their target. If this car accident doesnât work, there will be all kinds of sinister and
dirty moves in the future. Iâm afraid you wonât be able to guard against them. Miss Grey.â
Upon hearing this, Rachel chuckled and said, âThey flattered me by putting so much effort on me.â
Chris looked at Rachel in surprise.
This was different from the outcome she had imagined.
âRight now, Boss was surrounded by danger. If it were an ordinary person, escaping would be
instinctive.
âHow could Rachel Grey not be afraid at all?â she wondered.
âYouâre not afraid at all?â Chris blurted out.
âWhatâs there to be afraid of? Iâll deal with whatever comes my way.â Rachel looked at her with a calm.
and indifferent expression. âBesides, Will they let me off if I am afraid?â
Hearing this, Chris stopped talking.
She knew very well that if Rachel were really afraid, not only would those people not let her off, but
they would also become worse and push their luck.
However, she was getting more and more confused about the woman in front of her.
In the past, every woman who was close to Boss dreamed of becoming rich and famous overnight. In
her eyes, Rachel was the same.
Therefore, Chris believed Rachelâs unwavering attitude toward David was just to cover up ambition!
