Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 666

Chapter 666 

Rachel dodges slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her red lips. 

I was indeed because of her 

Just as Rachel was about to speak again, the butler walked over from not far away. “Miss Grey, everything has been arranged” 

Rachel nodded slightly and followed the butler towards the greenhouse absent-mindedly. 

At hist, Rachel had thought that David would face more dangers outside. Rachel did not expect 

lerous threats to be lurking around David as well. 

It seemed that the only person David could rely on all these years was himself. 

On the other side, after David heard what Old Mr. Jones said, he looked up at Old Mr. Jones. “I wouldn’t dare. Everything is predestined” 

Hearing this, Old Mr. Jones frowned slightly. 

People from the Jones family never believed in late, especially David. 

“Since when did David believe in the notion that everything was predestined?” Old Mr. Jones thought. 

David rubbed the cup with his fingertips and said meaningfully, “Aren’t you always the clearest about my engagement?” 

Upon hearing this, Old Mr. Jones’s pupils constricted. Although there was no reaction on his face, his hand involuntarily tightened on the cup he was holding. 

After pondering for a long time, Old Mr. Jones said in a slightly tense voice. “You’re saying that she’s from the Johnson family?” 

“Exactly, David answered without hesitation. 

Old Mr. Jones lowered his eyes and remained silent. It was unclear as to what was going on in his 

mind. 

“Your coffee is cold. I’ll refill it for you,” said David. 

As he watched the coffee being poured slowly into the cup. Old Mr. Jones said meaningfully. “This coffee has always been your grandma’s favorite. I don’t know if it has been too long, but the taste of this coffee has changed a little. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to suit her taste.” 

David narrowed his eyes slightly and changed the topic without batting an eyelid. “I’ll leave after the cabinet meeting 

“You’re leaving in such a hurry?” Old Mr. Jones was a little surprised. 

David put down the coffee pot in his hand and said unhurriedly, “You’re old. It’s inappropriate for me to stay here and cause you trouble.” 

Old Mr. Jones snorted unabashedly. “Haven’t you caused me enough trouble? Don’t assume I don’t know that you want to take her to the cabinet meeting!” 

David did not take Old Mr. Jones’ words to heart at all. “It’s all Grandma’s arrangements. As her grandson, I’m just following her arrangements.” 

“You!” Old Mr. Jones was so angry that his face turned red, but he had nowhere to vent his 

anger. 

Billy, who was standing at the side, saw Old Mr. Jones flush with anger. Billy pursed his lips and slowly lowered his head. 

He did not dare to overstep his bounds in front of the old patriarch, let alone watch the commotion 

blatantly, as this might get him into trouble. 

Old Mr. Jones might be flaunting his power all day, but he was an out-and-out henpecked man. 

Whatever Old Mrs. Jones had decided on, Old Mr. Jones dared not say a word despite his unwillingness in every possible way. 

Just like this moment, despite knowing that David taking Rachel to the cabinet meeting was against the rules, Old Mr. Jones did not dare to stop David at all. 

“I’m old, so It’s inevitable that I’m a little powerless, but your father probably will stop you from messing around,” said Old Mr. Jones. 

Upon hearing this, an indistinct coldness appeared in David’s eyes. “You know I never cared about. the so-called father-son relationship.” 

Old Mr. Jones frowned imperceptibly and looked up at the sky not far away. “Recently, the weather has gradually become unpredictable. It was sunny a moment ago, but now it’s windy.” 

When it was almost noon, Rachel and David stayed at the old residence for lunch. 

In the dining room, a simple octagonal table looked out of place with the large dining room. 

If the table were replaced, it would not be a problem for the entire dining room to accommodate a hundred people. 

But at this moment, there were only three of them. 

Rachel thought, “Could it be that the others aren’t usually here?” 

Just as Rachel was thinking about it, the servants served the prepared dishes one after another. 

Several of the dishes had been eaten at Mrs. Jones’ Trinisia garden. 

“Since you’ve come to Aureliana, you must abide by the rules here. Don’t go out at night unless necessary,” said Old Mr. Jones calmly. “Aureliana is not an ordinary place. I’d advise you not to be blinded by the splendor and wealth here.” 

Rachel was slightly taken aback. “Thank you for your trouble.” 

After eating, David and Rachel left. 

After walking out of the old residence, Rachel could not help but sigh deeply. 

“Were you nervous?” David held Rachel’s hand. 

David’s fingertips could feel that Rachel’s palm was drenched in sweat. 

Rachel looked at their interlocked hands and thought for a moment. “Old Mr. Jones doesn’t like me.” 

“It doesn’t matter if he likes you or not.” David held her hand to his lips and kissed it. “The point is that I like you, and that’s enough.” 

Rachel and David walked forward. “Are there many rules in Aureliana?” 

Rachel could understand all the other rules, but not the one in which she was not allowed to go out at will at night. 

Rachel thought, “Could it be that the security in Aureliana was poor? 

“There’s a total of five major families in Aureliana, namely the Jones family, the Clifford family, the Shain family, the Bowes family, and the Olson family. The Elders check and balance with the five major families.” 

While they were talking, David opened the car door and signaled Rachel to get in. 

The car started slowly. David’s deep and magnetic voice sounded in an unhurried manner, “More
