Marina frowned slightly, but she pursed her lips and said nothing.

Noah seemed to be the most honest, but he was actually the most scheming and unpredictable.

Marina knew very well that she was no match for Noah.

Instead of giving herself away, it was better to not say anything and wait and see.

Noah raised his eyes and glanced at Marina indifferently. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as if

he had seen through the little trick in her heart.

There was no change in his expression. He maintained a neutral attitude. “Why did something happen

to you as soon as David returned with his fiancée? Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?”

When Marina heard this, her expression changed slightly. “Are you trying to say that David is targeting

me behind my back?”

Noah only smiled meaningfully and did not say anything.

Marina couldn’t help but frown slightly as she watched Noah leave.

Marina knew very well that Noah was very scheming and was best at psychological strategy.

But even though Marina knew this, after she calmed down, the words that Noah said still lingered in her

mind.

Could it be that David was really targeting Marina behind her back?

As soon as this thought appeared, Marina quickly rejected it in her mind.

Marina understood David’s methods. If David really did it, her

Chapter 712

subordinate might not have had the chance to call her. The

outcome of the eight branches of the collateral family would also be Marina’s ending.

But if it wasn’t David, what did Noah mean by those words just now?

Marina took a deep breath, supported her forehead with one hand, and stared at the limestone floor

under her feet in a daze.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Marina snapped back to her senses and immediately regained her usual high and mighty attitude.

“Come in!”

The person outside the door walked in quickly. “Miss Grey, greetings.”

Seeing the person, Marina frowned imperceptibly. “Why are you here?”

The person in front of Marina was a spy, who she had planted by Nathan’s side to monitor him.

Seeing the man appear, Marina already had some guesses in her heart.

“Is he defeated?” Marina raised her eyebrows slightly. She picked up a glass of coffee and took a sip,

but her sharp gaze was fixed on the person.

After all, Marina was the daughter of the Jones family. Even her gaze was filled with intimidation.

There was a layer of sweat on the man’s forehead. After hesitating for a while, he said carefully, “We

lost contact with Mr. Nathan yesterday. I went to the tunnel to take a look. There’s no sign of anyone

moving. He’s most likely defeated…”

Hearing that, Marina sneered, “Useless trash!”

Marina had spent so much manpower and resources during this

Chapter 712

period of time. She had thought that Nathan would surprise her, but she did not expect him to be a

useless person just like his useless father!

Marina raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her coldly. When Marina saw his trembling

appearance, a trace of imperceptible disgust flashed across her eyes. “Has the scene been settled?”

“It’s all settled,” the man quickly said. “The lives of those people are in our hands. They naturally know

what to say and what not to say.”

When Marina heard this, her gloomy expression finally

improved a little. “You can leave first. Don’t let anyone notice

you.”

“Yes.”

At the same time, Rachel sat on the chair and drank coffee. Occasionally, she would look up at the

three elders who were standing in the side hall and surrounding David. Rachel slowly lowered her

eyes, and a faint cold smile appeared on her lips.

Rachel’s appearance not only surprised the heads of the other families but even the high and mighty

elders of the Elders felt an inexplicable sense of danger.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have dragged David to the side hall for a meeting in front of Rachel.

Although David had been listening to the suggestions of the people of the Elders, he had been silently

observing Rachel from the corner of his eye.

The Elders’ people naturally noticed that David was distracted.

Harley frowned slightly. A trace of dissatisfaction arose in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.

“Mr. Jones, I wonder if it’s convenient for us to move to the meeting hall now?”

Chapter 712

David lowered his eyes. Her expression was unfathomable.

David had never been patient with the group of people in front of him.

However, these people were quite dissatisfied with Rachel. If David refused them now, it was hard to

guarantee that there would not be other troubles.

Seeing that David did not reply for a long time, the three people in front of him could not help but

speculate in their hearts.

After an unknown period of time, David’s thin lips opened slightly, and he said indifferently, “Wait a

moment.”

With that, David turned around and walked toward Rachel.

When Rachel heard familiar footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes. The moment when their gazes

intersected, it was more than a thousand words. “Go to deal with it. Don’t worry about me.”

Hearing this, David frowned imperceptibly.

When would Rachel become a clingy woman?

If Rachel was always so magnanimous, it would instead make David persistently investigate how much

Rachel loved him.

However, David knew that now was not the time to discuss this.

“I’ll be back soon. I’ll leave Billy and the others to you.” David raised his hand and touched the top of

Rachel’s head. “Contact me if anything happens.”

Rachel smiled. “Okay.”

David looked at Rachel reluctantly. “Then I’m leaving?”

“Go.” Rachel reached out and gently pushed David’s shoulder. “When did you become so long-

winded?”

After watching David leave, Rachel turned to look at Chris behind her. “You brought him here?”

Chapov 712

“He is in a room in the backyard.” Chris did not forget to add meaningfully in the end, “It’s only a wall

away from the meditation hall.”

Hearing this, Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly, and a hint of interest appeared in her eyes.

It was only a wall away from the meditation hall. It would be interesting.

“Let’s go take a look.” Rachel stood up and smoothed the creases on her clothes before walking toward

the door.

The room in the backyard was said to be separated from the meditation hall by a wall, but this wall was

really a little thin. If there was a commotion here, it would definitely attract the attention of people in the

meditation hall.

But that was what made it interesting, wasn’t it?

“Are these all your men?” Rachel noticed that black-clothed people with armbands could be seen

everywhere in the courtyard.

Chris said, “They are sir’s men.”

In other words, these people were different from the five of them.

Rachel nodded thoughtfully.

Rachel pushed open the door of the room and saw Nathan tied to a chair.

Nathan’s hair was disheveled, and his eyes were scarlet under the glasses. Nathan was like a wild

beast that had been imprisoned in a cage and had lost its fangs and claws. His entire body exuded a

lifeless aura.

Hearing footsteps coming from the door, Nathan looked up but did not say anything.

Chapter 712

At this moment, Nathan was like a stray dog that had long lost all

ability to resist.

Yann wisely helped Rachel move a chair. “Miss Grey, please.”

Rachel pulled the chair over and sat opposite Nathan.
