Chapter 696

The moment he saw David walk down, Mr. Davies stepped forward and nodded slightly at David. Mr.

Davies greeted David humbly and respectfully, “Mr. Jones.”

The man in front of Mr. Davies was the family head of the Jones family. David was on par with the

Elders. Even the Elders would be polite to David.

Not to mention the Davies family, who was in the second tier.

David walked to Rachel’s side and turned slightly towards her.

From afar, it looked like David was holding Rachel in his arms.

“Mr. Davies, long time no see,” David said calmly.

Mr. Davies lowered his eyes to hide the gloominess in them. He pursed his lips and said, “It’s indeed

been a while, but the rumors about you have never ceased.”

Hearing this, David’s eyebrows moved slightly. “Why don’t you tell me about it?”

“It’s just a rumor.” Mr. Davies said, “If you’re really interested, why don’t you bring Miss Grey to the

Davies’ house for coffee?”

“If there’s a chance, I’ll go and see the Royal Gemstone in the Davies family’s collection.”

“I still have something on. I’ll take my leave first.”

Mr. Davies walked out of Moon Pavilion and heaved a sigh of relief.

It had been many years since David and Mr. Davies last met. And the young family head of the Jones

family got more and more oppressive and dominant.

No wonder that five years ago, David could suppress the internal strife of the family alone.

“Mr. Davies, should we send someone to investigate the background of Miss Grey?” The aide secretly

sized up the

expression on Mr. Davies’s face and thought for a moment. “I’m afraid this Miss Grey’s background is

not simple. It would be best if she can be used by us. If…”

Mr. Davies snorted and interrupted the aide. “She has David Jones supporting her.”

Not to mention whether they could find out anything, even if they did, the Davies family could not do

anything to Rachel.

Mr. Davies took a deep breath and leaned against the back of the chair tiredly. Mr. Davies slowly

played with the wine glass. “Do you think there are people in this world that look exactly the same?”

A quick glance from the crowd was like a dream.

However, after what happened just now, Mr. Davies could not help but have crazy thoughts.

The aide, who was sitting in the front row, checked on Mr. Davies’ expression through the rearview

mirror. Although the aide could not figure out Mr. Davies’ thoughts, the aide answered Mr. Davies

carefully, “How can there be so many coincidences in this world? It’s just a deliberate arrangement.”

“Deliberate arrangement,” Mr. Davies narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.

At this moment, Mr. Davies’ phone suddenly vibrated.

Mr. Davies lowered his eyes and saw the message that popped up on the screen. [Did you see her?]

It was just a few simple words, but it shocked Mr. Davies.

Mr. Davies tightened his grip on the glass he was playing with. His pupils trembled as he stared at the

words on the phone

screen.

Before Mr. Davies could reply, a text message popped up. [Don’t forget your promise.] Mr. Davies didn’t

say anything. He just stared at the phone screen. It was only when the phone screen dimmed and

finally went black that Mr. Davies slowly came back to his senses. “Mr. Davies?” The aide saw that Mr.

Davies’ expression was not good, and a trace of worry appeared in the aide’s eyes. Mr. Davies slowly

looked up at the aide. Suddenly, Mr. Davies chuckled. “This is all written in the stars.” When Rachel

and David left the Moon Pavilion, Thomas forced a smile and came out to send them off.

After getting into the car, Rachel looked at David. “Mr. Bowest doesn’t look too good.”

“He deserved it,” David said.

Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly, her almond-shaped eyes filled with curiosity.

At this moment, Chris, who was sitting in the front row, explained, “Mr. Bowes bet 2 million dollars on

Mr. Davies.”

Hearing this, Rachel had a mischievous smile flash across her eyes. She looked at Chris. “What about

you? How much did you bet?”

“I…” Chris subconsciously glanced at David.

Seeing that David’s expression did not change much, Chris said, “I bought 20 thousand dollars.”

Rachel said, “You still have doubts about me.”

Without waiting for Chris to explain, Rachel continued, “It’s okay. I can understand. After all, in your

eyes, I’m just a delicate rich girl.” Hearing this, Chris looked even more ashamed. Actually, Chris’s

impression of Rachel had changed a long time. ago. Chris saw Rachel talking with the people from the

Red Flame Action Team. And Chris also saw Rachel’s clean and efficient skills. the night at the

vacation villa. After that, Chris and Billy reviewed the battle that night.

To be fair, if they really fought, Chris might not be Rachel’s match.

The moment Chris saw Rachel grab the gun so quickly and remained intact, she really admired Rachel.

“I’m tired. Let’s go home.” Rachel yawned and lazily leaned on David’s shoulder.

The sun was bright and the wind was gentle.

Occasionally, white birds would fly past the blue sky, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Jimmy and Landon sat on a wicker chair in the back garden and chatted with David.

“Did Rachel show off at the Moon Pavilion last night?” Jimmy was excited and gossipy. “I heard that

Thomas lost 40 million dollars. Tell me what happened.”

David said expressionlessly, “You can ask Thomas.”

Seeing David’s cold attitude, the excitement on Jimmy’s face could not help but fade a little. “If Thomas

was willing to tell me, why would I drag Landon to you so early in the morning?”

At this moment, the serv ant walked to David’s side and said respectfully, “Sir, Miss Grey is awake.”

David nodded slightly, put down the cup in his hand, and stood up to leave.

When he left, David bumped into Thomas, who had just entered.

Seeing David leave in a hurry, Thomas walked up to Jimmy and Landon. “What’s going on?”

Jimmy followed his gaze and said calmly, “Oh, his princess is up.”

Thomas was speechless.

After the three of them sat down, Jimmy brought up the bet at the Moon Pavilion last night.

Thomas didn’t say anything, but when he thought of the money he had lost, he couldn’t help but feel a

heartache. “The more I think about it, the stranger I feel about the whole thing. Think about it. Did David

collude with Miss Grey to cheat me?”

“You can’t say that,” Jimmy said. “Rachel is omnipotent. You can only blame yourself for being stu pid.”

Thomas clicked his tongue and put on a fake smile. “I’m curious. how much money did she give you?

Why do you stand up for her time and time again?”

Landon took the cigarette from Thomas and sniffed it. Landon said casually, “It’s not much. I just

earned a few valuable pieces of land when I raced horses with Miss Grey.”

Thomas didn’t know what to say.

After a round of questioning, Thomas was filled with regret.

Seeing Thomas’ face turn ashy, Landon said earnestly, “Remember, no matter what happens in the

future, it’s never wrong to stand on Miss Grey’s side.”
