Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia
Betrayal At The Altar Chapter 440 âYes?â Rachel looked up at Old Mr. Johnson.
Old Mr. Johnsonâs clouded eyes were clearer than ever. He put away his usual kindness and peace and looked at her seriously.
âEvery step of life is important. When you are young and passionate, you may think that you have everything under control, but there are some things that you canât afford.
âDo you know that if you take a step wrong, you will be consigned to eternal da mn* tion?â
Rachel pursed her lips and silently put down the glass of water in her hand.
At this moment, Tom said in good time, âRae-Rae, call off the marriage!â
This was the third person who said that.
However, Rachel could not understand why everyone was advising her to call off the marriage.
Suspicions that had been suppressed in the bottom of her heart for a long time swept through her heart.
She looked up at her uncle, Tom, with a complicated gaze.
Sensing her gaze, Tom slowly raised his eyes and looked Rachel in the eye. âRae-Rae, I might as well tell you that the Johnson family is firmly against this marriage.â
They were firmly against it....
It had to be said that this word was very ingenious.
It seemed that all these years, the Johnson family knew about her marriage very well. Only she, the person involved, was kept in the dark.
If David hadnât appeared in front of Old Mr. Johnson with a token, the Johnson family originally didnât intend to acknowledge this marriage.
But why?
This marriage came out of nowhere. The Johnson family was so determined. against this marriage. All signs indicated that there was an unspeakable secret behind this marriage.
Could it be that she would have to pay a painful price for marrying David?
Or rather, would her life be in danger if she married David?
Seeing that Rachel did not speak for a long time, Old Mr. Johnsonâs expression became even more solemn.
âCan you tell me the reason?â Rachel looked up at Old Mr. Johnson with a probing gaze. Then, she looked at Tom. âAt first, you were silent before me about this marriage. Now, youâre determined to oppose this marriage. Whatâs the reason?â
Old Mr. Johnson rubbed his index finger with his right thumb and said insincerely, âYouâre still young. You donât need to get married so early. Besides, with the Johnson familyâs current status, we donât need to cling to any power.â
âIs that so?â Rachel muttered in a low voice. There was a faint smile on her lips and a vague meaning in her eyes.
Obviously, she did not believe the reason Old Mr. Johnson said at all.
With the Johnson familyâs status as the richest in Seaxas, they really didnât need to cling to power. But the reason of she was still young and did not need to get married so early was perfunctory.
âGrandfather, Iâm not a three-year-old child anymore. Do you think Iâll believe such a reason?â Rachel raised her eyes and looked at Old Mr. Johnson casually. Her eyes were filled with curiosity. âWhat are you hiding from us? Why do you want me to call off the marriage? Where did this marriage come from?â
Old Mr. Johnson looked at Rachelâs probing gaze and knew that he had revealed too many emotions today.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down and said calmly, âThis marriage was arranged by your mother back then. I donât know the details.â
Darcy, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, âMiss Grey, Mr. Johnson is your own grandfather, and he will never hurt you.â
âRae-Rae, marriage is not childâs play. I advise you to think twice before you act.â
All of them were persuading Rachel to call off the marriage.
There was no reason.
However, it made Rachel even more curious about the origin of this marriage.
Her intuition told her that there must be something hidden behind this marriage!
