The banquet lasted until ten o’clock at night.

After it ended, Rachel left with David.

Brendan watched the two of them leave and gave Jimmy a look. A playful smile appeared on his lips.

“What’s going on? Is he serious?”

“When did you ever see David not serious?” Jimmy raised his eyebrows slightly. The perfect arc

revealed a hint of flirtatiousness, making the mole under his eye look even more evil and charming.

“He’s already proposed to her.”

Hearing this, Brendan was rather surprised. “It’s indeed unexpected.”

There had been many rumors between the Jones family and the Clifford family, especially in recent

years. The rumor that Jennifer was the future wife of David appointed by Old Mr. Jones had been

spread crazily and it was hard for others not to believe it.

At that time, David did not have any explanation. Brendan thought that it was David’s tacit agreement

to the marriage.

Unexpectedly, he proposed to another woman in the blink of an eye.

“There will be many unexpected things in the future.” Jimmy patted Brendan’s shoulder. “Do you want

to go to the bar?”

Brendan raised his chin. “Let’s go!”

Rachel originally planned to go back to Sandalwood Hills with David, but halfway through, she received

a call from Lucas. “Will you return to the Johnson family tonight?”

“What’s wrong?” Rachel instinctively had a bad premonition.

On the other end of the line, Lucas lit a cigarette and took a puff. He said unhurriedly, “I don’t know who

in the family spilled the beans about my father. When Grandpa found out, he suddenly fainted and is

already asleep. Do you want to come back and take a look?”

Hearing this, Rachel did not hesitate at all. “Okay!”

Chapter 768

After hanging up, she looked at David.

Before she could speak, the man had already signaled Billy to drive. toward the Johnson’s Mansion.

When the car drove all the way to Johnson’s Mansion, Rachel leaned forward and planted a gentle kiss

on David’s lips.

She wanted to stop the kiss immediately after her lips touched his lips, but before she could do that,

David suddenly grabbed the back of her neck and wrapped his other hand tightly around her slender

waist.

The two of them kissed deeper and deeper. An ambiguous and passionate atmosphere spread

between the two of them, gradually filling the small car.

When Rachel’s tongue went numb and the feeling of suffocation became stronger, David reluctantly let

go of her.

His dark eyes became darker and darker as if a small flame had been lit in the depths of his eyes,

reflecting the dark desire and greed in them. “Go back and have a good night.”

His deep voice was tinged with sensual hoarseness that was exceptionally bewitching.

Rachel’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. “You too.”

David’s arm was still wrapped around her waist. His warm palm caressed her waist. He buried his head

in her neck and took a deep breath before kissing her cheek. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow?”

“There’s no need…” David’s face was still buried in her neck. His breath was slightly warm as it

brushed past her neck, making her tremble. “I’ll go to the company myself tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.”

“I’ll get going first.”

David looked at Rachel’s back as she left. His eyes were filled with greed and reluctance.

When the woman’s figure disappeared from his sight, he slowly rolled up the car window. His

expression returned to its usual coldness and

Chapter 768

indifference. “Find a way to get the evidence out of Alfredo’s mouth that Yandel was involved in setting

Tom up.”

“Okay!” Eddie replied.

He glanced at the man sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror. After thinking for a while, he

said word by word, “Sir, Yandel’s ultimate goal in attacking Tom this time may be Miss Grey. Perhaps…

Mr. Noah is also behind this. Are we going to expose him, too?”

“No need.” David crossed his legs and placed his hands naturally on his knees. “The Johnson family is

not a family that can be easily bullied in Seaxas.”

Now, the existence of the second branch of the Jones family was more used to restrict the other

branches.

Even without Noah, there would be others who would reach into Seaxas.

“Spread the word to the other branches.”

“Okay.”

At Grand Central Law Firm, Adrian leaned against the side of the table. with a cup of coffee in his hand.

He looked at the colorful neon lights outside the window in a daze. His eyes under the glasses were

deep. No one knew what he was thinking.

At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. It was a phone call made by Rachel.

He swiped the screen to answer the call and asked, “What’s it?”

“Nothing much. I just wanted to tell you that Uncle Tom is out. You don’t need to worry about him.”

Rachel’s voice entered Adrian’s ears through the phone.

Adrian responded, “Got it.”

After hanging up, he held his phone and pondered for a long time. He silently prepared the words that

he was going to say in his heart and mustered his courage to call Jessica.

However, it was not Jessica’s voice that came from the phone. Instead, it

Chapter 768

was a mechanical and cold voice broadcast. “Sorry! The subscriber you have dialed is temporarily

unavailable…”

Adrian’s face suddenly darkened. He threw his phone on the table angrily.

Ever since the two of them parted on bad terms in the office last time, they had started a cold war.

In the old cold wars they had before, Jessica would always find topics or other opportunities to ease the

tension.

But this time, she did nothing.

Adrian frowned slightly and pondered for a long time. He picked up his phone again and opened Twitter

to find Jessica’s account. He scrolled through her messages and posts.

When he saw the photos of Jessica eating, drinking, and having fun in Frenia, his face instantly

darkened to the extreme. He gritted his teeth. secretly. “Jessica, you’re really great!”

On the other side, when Rachel found out that her grandfather had fallen asleep, she did not disturb

him and returned to her room to rest.

After washing up, she lay on the bed and slept until dawn.

The next morning, she slowly woke up.

She looked at the ceiling above her head in a daze for a moment before slowly sitting up.

At this moment, a servant knocked on her door. “Miss Grey, Mr. Johnson is awake.”

“Alright, I’ll be right there!”

She hurriedly washed up and changed her clothes. She opened the door and went straight to the

bedroom of Old Mr. Johnson.

At this moment, the private doctor was in front of Old Mr. Johnson’s bed and helping him do a detailed

checkup.

Although Old Mr. Johnson looked a little impatient, he cooperated obediently.

Chapter 768

When the examination was over, Rachel asked, “How is it?”

The doctor took off the stethoscope on his ear and said unhurriedly, “It’s nothing serious. It’s just that

he fainted from a moment of agitation. However, considering that Mr. Johnson has undergone surgery

before, we still have to avoid making him too agitated.”

“I’ve already said that it’s not a big problem.” Although Old Mr. Johnson was much more energetic, his

face still looked a little haggard. He was half-lying on the bed. “All of you, instead of being paranoid

every day, why don’t you spend some time having a good meal with me?”

His tone sounded like he was an arrogant and willful child.

Everyone could not help but smile.

When the group was about to leave, Rachel sent them out and went to the kitchen to bring breakfast.
