Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 689

Chapter 689 

David waved his hand at Rachel. 

Rachel immediately understood. She walked forward and sat beside David. 

As soon as Rachel sat down, David grabbed her slightly cold hand and said unhurriedly, “Since we’ve investigated it thoroughly, we’ll get them uprooted.” 

David didn’t hide his murderous and decisive hostility under his casual tone. 

Originally, David did not intend to deal with this group of people. 

In David’s eyes, these people were no different from lowlives struggling at death’s door. 

However, whatever they did, they should never have targeted Rachel. 

Since they had targeted David’s woman, they should be prepared to be at death’s door. 

Yann’s eyes flashed slightly. Yann observed David’s expression and hesitated for a moment. Yann enunciated each word tentatively, “Sir, the ninth branch has many important businesses under its name. Maybe we can…” 

David poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Rachel. “Spare their lives. The rest is 

up to you.” David’s nonchalant voice was like a spring breaking through ice. His voice was cold and thin, making one’s heart turn cold for no reason. 

Yann replied, “Yes.” 

Yann couldn’t help but glance at Rachel, and he silently prayed for the people from the ninth branch. 

The ninth branch already had a good life. Why did they have to do it and court death? 

When they returned to Peckham Palace, Rachel had already fallen asleep on David’s shoulder. 

Rachel had a dreamless night and slept soundly. 

However, a family in the city had changed overnight. 

First, there was an inexplicable fire at home. Fortunately, the servants at home discovered it in time, so there were no casualties. 

However, the family suffered heavy losses. 

The entire villa was burned to ashes, and there were many antiques and artworks. 

However, that was not the end of their suffering. Before the family could find the source of the fire, the officers from the Supervision Bureau came and took them away for investigation. 

Everything happened suddenly and fast. The family was caught off guard. 

When people saw the Jones family’s ninth branch go bankrupt overnight, they all felt that life was unpredictable. 

However, there were also smart people who noticed that it was not that simple. 

With the Jones family’s power and status in Aureliana, even the ninth branch would not fall overnight. 

apart 

Unless their own family members did it. 

Before people could figure out why, the other eight branches of the Jones family branch also had 

problems. 

For a moment, the entire Jones family was in a state of panic, and the outside world had differing opinions. 

Some people said that the Jones family was about to change, while others speculated that the competition for the new family head was about to start… 

In the study of the Peckham Palace. 

David was sitting in a chair with a black, gilded invitation letter in his hand. 

In the middle of the paper was a redbud flower. As the angle changed, one could vaguely see the redbud flower blooming bit by bit. 

“You suddenly attacked the side branches. People are saying all kinds of things.” Thomas’s voice came from the phone. “In the past, you turned a blind eye to them. Now, you’re willing to kill for a woman. Aren’t you a little too impulsive?” 

Thomas did not feel pity for the people from the side branches. 

Instead, Thomas analyzed this matter objectively. 

The Jones family was no ordinary family. 

The Jones family was ruthless. The more David cared about Rachel, the more guns were aimed at Rachel. 

Now that David had directly wiped out the ninth branch for Rachel, this matter probably wouldn’t be hidden for long. 

Once it was exposed, Rachel would face a new round of assassinations. 

There were many people in the Jones family who hated David to the core. Even David’s biological father was the same. 

They wanted to kill David, but they were afraid of David’s force, so they had no choice but to suppress their restless hearts. 

However, Rachel was the only woman by David’s side, and David loved Rachel very much. Naturally, Rachel would become everyone’s target. 

“I advise you don’t care about Rachel too much. Even if you care, please try your best to restrain yourself,” Thomas advised earnestly. “This time, you can take down the ninth branch for her, but what about the future? You can’t possibly foresee every assassination attempt, right?”/ 

David put down the invitation card in his hand and tapped it lightly with his well-defined fingers. He said casually, “Why not?” 

Thomas was speechless. 

It turned out that Thomas’ earnest persuasion just now was useless! 

“Forget it, forget it.” Thomas knew that it would be a waste of breath to continue persuading David. “There’s a lively event at Moon Pavilion tonight. Do you want to go?” 

“We’ll see.” 

After hanging up the phone, David glanced at the invitation letter on the table. After hesitating for a moment, David took the invitation letter and walked out of the study. 

In the kitchen. 

Rachel was making some coffee when she heard familiar footsteps behind her. Rachel picked up the freshly cooked coffee and handed it to David. “Try it and see how it tastes.” 

David looked at the clear liquid in the cup and frowned imperceptibly. 

Holding Rachel’s hand, David brought the cup to his lips and took a sip. 

The faint coffee scent was mixed with a fresh fruit fragrance. The taste of the coffee was very unique. However, David had never liked sweetness, so he didn’t like the taste, but he didn’t hate it either. 

“How is it?” Rachel carefully observed the expression on David’s face, afraid that she would miss any emotional changes. “Is the taste too sweet?”
