Chapter 699

Chapter 699

Rachel did not expect David to be so protective of her.

Rachel’s eyes were filled with surprise as she looked at the man in front of her in a daze.

Rachel was still thinking about David’s words. “She’s my wife, my only partner in this life, and the future

mistress of the family!”

David didn’t show obvious emotional fluctuations when he said it. But his words made Rachel

emotional, and she couldn’t calm down for a long time.

When Old Mr. Jones heard David’s words, Old Mr. Jones’ eyes narrowed slightly. A trace of anger

appeared on Old Mr. Jones’ usually expressionless face. Then, Old Mr. Jones turned to look at Rachel

with a trace of disdain and ridicule in his eyes. “That depends on whether she is qualified!”

Not anyone was qualified to take the position of the mistress of the Jones family.

David lifted the lid of the coffee cup and removed the coffee grounds with his well-defined fingers. He

said casually, “The mistress of the Jones family has to be her.”

Hearing David’s confident words, Old Mr. Jones was more certain about the guess in his heart.

Old Mr. Jones stared at David for a moment.

Finally, Old Mr. Jones couldn’t take it anymore and got up to leave angrily.

Looking at Old Mr. Jones’ back as he left, David lowered his eyes to hide the secretive expression in

his eyes.

Old Mr. Jones walked out of the living room and instructed the butler, “Bring me the family tree! Don’t

let anyone know!”

butler was stunned for a moment before replying, “Yes.”

A moment later, the butler handed a wooden box to Old Mr. Jones.

Old Mr. Jones took out the family tree and saw Rachel’s name beside David’s.

No wonder David was so confident!

When the butler saw this, his eyes were filled with chaos. “Why is Miss Grey’s name here?”

Not to mention the Jones family’s rules, even according to the rules of other families, the partner’s

name couldn’t be written on the family tree before officially getting married.

Not only did David not take the rules of the Jones family seriously, but he also looked down on the

elders of the Jones. family!

“Could it be that Mr. Louis…” The butler looked at Old Mr. Jones’s expression and said carefully, “But

Mr. Louis has always been polite and followed the rules. How could he do such a thing?”

In other words, the butler was implying that Rachel must have seduced David and talked him into doing

it. That was why David, who had always been compliant, lost his mind and did such a thing.

Old Mr. Jones closed the family tree in his hand and casually threw it on the table. He let out a low

laugh and looked up at the butler meaningfully. “He’s not the only one who doesn’t take the Jones-

family clan seriously.”

Hearing this, the butler’s expression changed slightly. “You are saying that…”

It was Mrs. Jones?

Old Mr. Jones sighed softly. “She’s forcing me to accept that girl.”

Over the years, the side branches and the main family had been competing nonstop. The Jones family

seemed to be harmonious, but there was a lot of tension. A lot of people wanted to be the mistress of

the Jones family. Marriage was a good way to consolidate the status and power of the main family. If

the Jones family could get the Clifford family’s support, it would undoubtedly be the icing on the cake,

But now, all the hard work and planning of Mrs. Jones had been ruined when Rachel’s name was

written into the family tree. The butler observed Old Mr. Jones’s unfathomable expression. After

hesitating for a while, the butler carefully asked, “But why does Mrs. Jones insist on choosing this Miss

Grey?” According to the current situation, if the Jones family could get the Clifford family’s help, then

the main family would be much stronger than before. As a ser vant, the butler could see the pros and

cons, so Mrs. Jones naturally could.

Therefore, the butler really could not figure out why Mrs. Jones would give up on the Clifford family and

choose the woman brought back from outside by David.

Now, David had even secretly written Rachel’s name on the family tree.

“She has always been unreasonable. She only cares about her mood.” Old Mr. Jones said, “I just don’t

know if this girl can live up to Mrs. Jones’ good intentions.” At the same time, Pollister, Trinisia garden.

Old Mrs. Jones woke up from her sleep with a violent cough. Rosie hurriedly walked in and poured a

cup of warm water for Old Mrs. Jones. Old Mrs. Jones took a sip of water and looked up at the sky

outside the window. “What time is it?” “It’s not even 11 o’clock yet,” Rosie said. Old Mrs. Jones took a

deep breath. “Help me up and take a walk outside.” “Okay.” When the two of them walked to the

courtyard, Rosie told Old Mrs. Jones about the news she just got. “Our people said that Mr. Johnson

sent the butler to retrieve the family tree. I’m afraid we can’t hide what we did.”

“I didn’t plan to hide it from him.” Old Mrs. Jones raised her hand and adjusted the thin jacket on her

shoulder. She looked up at the moonlight. “If he’s smart, he should know the right choice.” Rosie

lowered her eyes and thought for a while. “But if the elders find out about it, I’m afraid they won’t accept

it.”

Those people had always hoped that David could marry the Clifford girl so that they could have more

benefits.

When Old Mrs. Jones heard this, she slightly smiled. There was a hint of coldness in her eyes. “The

main family and the branches don’t get along. But the main family has not fallen to the point of relying

on marriage to maintain our status!”

Upon hearing this, Rosie stopped talking.

“Since he has read the family tree, let’s remove the names of the nine branches of the family tree,” Old

Mrs. Jones looked up at the lonely night and said indifferently.

Rosie’s expression changed. “Mrs. Jones, I’m afraid you can’t do this.”

Once the nine side branches were removed from the family tree, the side branches would definitely

take action. At that time, the painstakingly maintained balance between the main family and

Chapter 690

side branches would be broken.

“What’s wrong with that?” Old Mrs. Jones looked at Rosie calmly. “Although she has David backing her,

it’s always good to have more support.”

Hearing this, Rosie didn’t say anything else. She lowered her eyes and said respectfully, “Yes, I’ll do it

now.”

Rosie knew Old Mrs. Jones liked Rachel, but she did not expect Old Mrs. Jones to be so biased. It was

really unexpected.

Old Mrs. Jones took out her phone and looked at the time. She found Rachel at the top of her

Whatsapp chat list. Old Mrs. Jones typed and sent a message: [Rae-Rae, with me backing you, no one

can bully you.]

When Rachel saw the message from Old Mrs. Jones, a hint of gentleness appeared in her eyes.

Rachel quickly tapped on the keyboard with her fingertips. [Grandma, it’s already so late. Why aren’t

you resting?]

Old Mrs. Jones quickly replied, [I’ll go to bed later. If you suffer any grievances over there, feel free to

tell me. I will stand up for you and avenge you!]

Rachel felt warmth in her heart. [Alright, good night.]

Rachel had just put the phone down when it rang again.

Rachel originally thought that it was a message from Mrs. Jones. But it was a call from Vulture.

As soon as Rachel picked up the phone, Vulture’s voice entered her ears through the phone. “Twelve,

we’re leaving.”
