Chapter 690

“It’s his fault for saying those stupid things,” Rachel said.

Blackhawk walked to Rachel’s side. He noticed there was coffee by Rachel’s hand. “Wow, looks like

we’re in for a treat today,” Blackhawk said.

Blackhawk remembered that Twelve had always liked these fancy things.

Just as Blackhawk was about to pour a cup of coffee, Rachel slapped his hand away. “You’re not

allowed to drink!”

Blackhawk touched his hand that had been slapped with an innocent look on his face. “Didn’t you make

the coffee so that we can drink it? Besides, Vulture was the one who pissed you off, not me.”

“The two of you are the same!” Rachel snorted angrily and turned to go upstairs.

Blackhawk was speechless.

Blackhawk felt that he was collateral damage.

Rachel returned to her room and tidied her clothes.

At this moment, Rachel’s phone suddenly rang.

Rachel picked it up and took a look. It was her uncle, Tom, calling.

Upon seeing this call, Rachel felt guilty for no reason.

Other than Lucas, no one else knew that Rachel had come to Aureliana.

However, Rachel’s uncle called at this time. Could it be that her uncle had heard the news?

Rachel took a deep breath and hesitated for a moment. She braced herself and picked up the phone.

As soon as the call connected, Tom’s cold voice entered Rachel’s ears through the phone. “Where are

you?”

Tom’s tone was calm, without any fluctuations, but it made one’s heart tighten for some reason.

Rachel couldn’t help but tighten her grip on the phone. She cleared her throat and struggled for a

moment. “I’m out.”

It was not that Rachel wanted to hide it, but she really did not have the courage to confess everything.

“Where’s out?” Tom asked with an ambiguous attitude.

Hearing this, Rachel had some guesses in her mind.

Rachel pursed her lips, no longer hiding anything. “I’m in Aureliana.”

“Ha!” Tom sneered without hiding anything. Tom gritted his teeth. “Rachel, you’re getting bolder and

bolder! How dare you hide such a thing from me?”

“I didn’t mean to hide it. I just didn’t want you to worry,” Rachel explained.

“So

you

know that we’re worried about you!” Tom’s cold voice was mixed with a hint of unconcealable anger.

Tom took a deep breath and glanced at Lucas who was squatting with two sandbags in his hands. Tom

said with a gloomy face, “Tell me, when will you be back!”

Rachel thought for a moment. “I’m not sure yet.”

Tom raised his hand and massaged his temples. Tom closed his eyes and took another deep breath.

After calming down, Tom spoke again, “Be careful. When you return to Seaxas, remember to come.

back and report to the Johnson family.”

With that, Tom hung up.

Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, Rachel frowned with a serious expression.

Go back and report to the Johnson family…

Could it be that Rachel’s Grandpa knew?

It had to be!

Otherwise, why would Tom ask Rachel to go back and report to the Johnson family when Rachel

went back?

Rachel held her phone. She looked like she was dealing with a big problem. Just as Rachel was

wondering if she should call Lucas to find out what was going on, a black shadow appeared behind her.

Before Rachel could look back, she felt the unique and familiar wood fragrance envelop her.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, David slowly leaned down on Rachel’s shoulder. David’s lips were

pressed against Rachel’s temple, and his low and magnetic voice slowly sounded in Rachel’s ear.

“What are you thinking about?“

David’s warm breath sprayed on the side of Rachel’s head, sweeping the loose hair at her temples.

Rachel couldn’t help but shrink her neck and look at David. “Some family matters.”

“Do

you want to go out for a walk tonight?” David wrapped his arms around Rachel’s slender waist and

rubbed her slightly cold hand with his palm.

Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly. “You still want to go out?”

“Afraid?” David grabbed Rachel’s waist and turned Rachel around to face him. David lifted Rachel’s

chin with his well-defined fingers and caressed Rachel’s lips with his fingertips. “There’s an auction at

Moon Pavilion tonight. Do you want to go and play?”

Hearing this, Rachel’s eyes were filled with interest. “Sure.”

Rachel had always liked to watch the show at auctions, but this was the first time she had seen an

auction in Aureliana.

Rachel thought it was good to enrich her experience.

Twenty minutes later, Rachel walked out of the fitting room after changing into a gown.

This gown would not be too eye-catching or too casual.

The well-tailored gown accentuated Rachel’s graceful figure.

The slit at the hem of her dress was just in the right place. As Rachel walked, her straight and slender

legs could be vaguely seen, making one’s imagination run wild.

The coldness of the green gown revealed indifference, keeping people away. However, when Rachel

wore it, there was a hint of charm. Rachel was like a noble and elegant saintess. People could only

admire her but not dare to approach her.

David was sitting on the sofa. When he saw Rachel walking out of the changing room, David narrowed

his eyes which flickered with a dark light.

“Is this okay?” Rachel adjusted her collar.

As Rachel raised her head, her chest naturally puffed up.

David’s dark eyes darkened. He stood up and walked straight to Rachel. “Change into something else.”

“Doesn’t it look good?” Rachel subconsciously lowered her head to check her gown.

David wrapped his arm around Rachel’s waist. “I don’t feel secure.”

Hearing this, Rachel couldn’t help but laugh. “What kind of reason is that?”

“Be good.” David bent down slightly and kissed Rachel’s temple. David coaxed Rachel in a low voice,

“The cold wind in Moon Pavilion is very strong. This gown is too thin. Can you change into another

one?”

Ten minutes later, under David’s coaxing and pestering, Rachel changed her clothes.

Moon Pavilion sounded like a name of a pavilion, but that was not the case.

Moon Pavilion consisted of 6 buildings, each of which was connected to the other.

If one looked down from the sky, it was like 6 stars in a row.

Today’s auction happened to be held in the main building.

As soon as Rachel and David entered, a staff led them into the private room.

Rachel looked around at the ancient decorations and felt like she was dreaming.

“What’s the good stuff today?”

“Moon Pavilion isn’t like other auction houses. There’s no specific item, only a core theme.” David down

the coffee cups in his hand. “And today’s theme is blindness.”

“Blindness?” Hearing this, Rachel’s eyes were filled with interest.

This was the first time Rachel had heard of such a rule. Rachel was even more curious and looked

forward to tonight’s auction.

As the auction slowly began, Rachel stood at the wooden railing and looked down.

There was a round table in the middle.

Stones of different sizes were placed on the table, and every stone was marked with an orderly

number.

At the same time, the butler sent the pamphlet to the private room, labeling each stone with a base

price and the amount of the increase.

Seeing the situation, Rachel understood.

It was stone gambling.

However, this was the first time Rachel had seen such a scene in stone gambling.

David saw Rachel’s curiosity and asked, “Do you want to go down and play?”

“I’d like that.”
