Chapter 713

“Speaking of which, you’ve been under Marina’s care for the past few days. Why isn’t she here to save

you now?” Rachel crossed her legs. Her posture was casual, but her every move revealed an

undisguised sharpness.

Nathan’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and his voice was a little hoarse. “I don’t know what you’re talking

about.”

Rachel smiled.

At this moment, Rachel’s phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was a call from Blackhawk, Rachel

swiped her fingertip and picked it up.

“Marina’s trading platform for virtual currency has collapsed. What do you plan to do next?”

Blackhawk’s voice entered Rachel’s ears through the phone receiver. “As far as I know, she is

ostracized by the Jones family. There are not many industries involved in the business here. Now that

you have destroyed the virtual currency transaction that she values the most, aren’t you afraid that she

will do something extreme?”

Blackhawk wasn’t worried about Rachel’s safety but about David’s.

No matter what, Marina was David’s aunt.

If David knew that Rachel had been targeting Marina and even destroyed all her businesses,

Blackhawk was worried that David would be dissatisfied with Rachel.

Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly. There was a hint of evilness in the corners of her eyes. “I’m just

afraid that she won’t do anything”

Rachel paused for a moment and said coldly. “Ruin all her business in Aureliana.”

After hanging up the phone, Rachel fiddled with the tassel on the phone cover with her fingertips and

said casually, “I’ve always liked happy reunions. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely do my best to help you

reunite in prison.”

As soon as Rachel finished speaking, a visible panic flashed across Nathan’s face. “What exactly do

you want? Come at me if you want anything. Don’t hurt innocent people!” “Innocent people?” A

mocking smile appeared on Rachel’s lips, and her eyes were terrifyingly cold. “Mary, who was

kidnapped by you, is the most innocent person! She has no enmity with you, and she doesn’t know

anything about the eight branches of the collateral family. She didn’t do anything, but you kidnapped

her and implicated her for your own selfish reasons. What right do you have to say in front of me that I

shouldn’t hurt innocent people?”

Looking at the woman in front of him, Nathan was suddenly speechless.

Before meeting Rachel, Nathan had always thought that Rachel was just a woman with outstanding

looks as the rumors said.

However, last night, Nathan suddenly realized that what the woman with outstanding looks had shown

was only the tip of the iceberg.

The cold-blooded and ruthless one in front of Nathan now might be her true colors.

Come to think of it, birds of a feather flocked together. If Marina was just a weak and helpless woman,

how could she deserve David’s special treatment?

As far as I know, the side branches and the main branch are not on good terms. Why is your

relationship with Marina so deep? Rachel’s eyes were filled with a meaningful smile. Her fingertips

were on the armrest of the armchair as she tapped rhythmically.

The frequency and heartbeat were synchronized, one beat at a time, grinding one’s nerves.

Nathan’s pupils trembled. He swallowed his saliva and pursed his lips tightly without saying a wond

Did Marina tell you the cause of your parents’ deaths? Rachel supported her forehead with one hand

and sized up Nathan with interest. Her posture was elegant, and no one could detect any aggression,

laut her eyes were cold as if she was looking at a fish struggling in a Quagmire Those who can make

precision bombs are smart. Why would you believe. Marina so easily?

You did whatever Marina said You quite have the potential to be a lackey for others.”

As Rachel spoke, her gaze swept past Nathan’s legs and she let out a low cry. “Ah, I forgot. Your own

conditions don’t allow it”

This casual sentence was like a knife stabbing into Nathan’s heart.

His eyes were red under his glasses, and his tied hands struggled hard twice. Veins could be vaguely

seen on his neck as Nathan gritted his teeth and said, “You’re just a bitch who relied. on your good

looks to get to where you are! What right do you have to mock me! Do you really know David? He can

even imprison his own father. Do you think you can end up well. with him?”

When Chris and Yann heard this, their expressions changed.

The two of them subconsciously looked at Rachel.

However, Rachel’s expression was calm, as if she did not hear Nathan at all.

Seeing the situation, the two of them secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Yann slapped Nathan on the back of his head hard and warned fiercely, “It’s a big taboo to talk about

the head of the family. Have you lived enough?”

Before Yann could finish his sentence, Rachel’s cold voice came out faintly. “I guess that person

deserves to die as a father.”

Hearing this, Yann and Chris looked at each other and secretly gave Rachel a thumbs-up in their

hearts.

Rachel was as expected of the woman of David. The two of them were a perfect match from their looks

to their values.

Anyone who heard about someone imprisoning his biological father would think that it was the most

treasonous thing to do. However, Rachel stood by David’s side without hesitation and supported his

actions.

Maybe from the moment when Rachel fell in love with David, the scale in her heart had already leaned

toward David.

Rachel couldn’t be bothered to waste her time on Nathan. “Watch him. I’m going out to take a breather

Chris and Yann exchanged glances and hurriedly chased after Rachel.

Chapter 713

The moment Rachel stepped out of the door, a breeze blew over, carrying a faint fragrance.

Rachel could faintly smell the faint fragrance of crabapple flowers. She subconsciously looked around.

However, there were no crabapples planted in this courtyard.

Rachel asked casually, “Where did this flower smell come from?”

“It’s from the meditation hall,” said Chris

Rachel looked along the wall and vaguely saw a crabapple tree.

Logically speaking, the flowers on the sunny side should be growing more vigorously, but its center of

gravity was always toward the area of the meditation hall, not crossing the courtyard wall at all.

It must have been interfered with by someone.

Looking in the direction where Rachel was looking, Chris explained at the right time, “The Jones family

has an unwritten rule that the flowers and trees in each courtyard are not allowed to cross the line.”

Even flowers and trees were like this, let alone humans.

It seemed to be establishing unwritten rule for the flowers, plants, and trees in their respective

courtyards, but it was also a warning to the people in the courtyard to always remember the order of

seniority and not cross the line.

“The crabapple flowers are blooming well. Let’s go take a look.” Rachel said and walked toward the

courtyard.

Chris followed behind Rachel and cursed silently. Was Rachel sure she was going to admire the

flowers and not cause trouble for others?

The two of them were neither fast nor slow. Soon, they arrived near the meditation hall,

Not only was there Marina in this courtyard, but there were also people from the second, third, and

fourth branches.

Rachel’s sudden appearance in front of everyone was equivalent to exposing herself to all danger.

Therefore, from the moment Rachel stepped into the meditation hall, a certain string in Chris’s mind

was tense, and she was prepared to fight at any time.

Sensing Chris’s nervousness, Rachel smiled faintly. “Relax. Don’t be nervous.”
