Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 727

Chapter 727
In the past, Old Mr. Jones could keep David in check, but now he knew that the little wolf cubs of the past had grown up. But if his methods of dealing with them were too extreme, David would definitely suffer a backlash.
Old Mr. Jones took a deep breath and suppressed the anger swirling in his heart. There was still a hint of anger in his deep voice. “Did you do it?”
This morning, Old Mr. Jones received news that Marina and Nathan had been attacked to varying degrees during the transfer.
The police officers were not injured. It could even be said that the bullets that came in from outside deliberately avoided them.
However, Marina and Nathan were injured to varying degrees.
Among them, Marina had the most serious injuries.
It was said that the bullet hit Marina’s chest and was only 1.2 inches. away from her heart. Fortunately, Marina was lucky enough to be saved and was now in the ICU for observation.
However, Old Mr. Jones knew very well that the 1.2-inch deviation was not because Marina was lucky. Clearly, the person behind it was deliberately torturing Marina.
David looked at Old Mr. Jones expressionlessly and said indifferently, “Isn’t she still alive?”
David’s calm tone was like a knife pressing against one’s heart, making one’s heart sk ip a beat.
Old Mr. Jones looked at David with a serious expression. “Since she was taken away, she will naturally be punished by the law. What’s the benefit of doing this?”
“A cornered man will do anything. Don’t tell me you don’t understand such a simple logic!”.

Hearing this, David chuckled. “Don’t worry. I won’t kill her.”
“She has already received the corresponding punishment and was taken away by the police. Shouldn’t you be lenient?” Old Mr. Jones asked.
David’s expression was still indifferent, and there was an
unconcealable hostility in his eyes. “Give her a chance to catch her breath so that she can bite me again?”
Upon hearing this, Old Mr. Jones choked.
As a parent, Old Mr. Jones knew Marina’s personality the best.

In the past, Marina was just a little arrogant and competitive. However, Old Mr. Jones never expected Marina to participate in the
competition for the heir.
Old Mr. Jones thought that Marina had learned a lesson from that failure, but he did not expect her to become more ambitious.
Marina actually hinted to her trusted subordinate to take revenge on Rachel.
To be fair, Marina had brought this upon herself.
Perhaps it was because Old Mr. Jones became old, and his heart had softened.
Old Mr. Jones was no longer as cold-hearted as before. He only hoped that his children would be safe and avoid a tragedy.
However, the more Old Mr. Jones tried his best to avoid creating a fragmented situation, the more he could not control it.
At this moment, David raised his indifferent eyes and glanced at Old Mr. Jones indifferently. “As long as she can learn to behave herself, I won’t take her life. Don’t worry.”
When Old Mr. Jones heard this, he did not say anything and only sighed faintly.
Old Mr. Jones glanced at Rachel, who was eating in the dining room.
His eyes narrowed slightly. “Do you really love her?”

“I’ve already brought her here. Do I look like I’m playing around?” David raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of determination in the corners of his eyes.
“But you haven’t given her a status yet.” Old Mr. Jones looked at David. His eyes flickered with a meaningful dark light as he said vaguely, “There are some things that you should avoid doing too much. If it accidentally involves someone’s life, it will be dishonorable both for you and her.”
With one hand in his pocket, David stood in front of the wooden railing and looked down at the goldfish playing in the pool. “I know what I’m doing.”
David would never give anyone a chance to criticize Rachel.
David paused for a moment and looked up at Old Mr. Jones. “Grandpa, I have something to ask you. Why did my engagement with her come about?”
“Heh!” Old Mr. Jones smiled insincerely. Although he did not say anything, his face was filled with disapproval of this engagement. “Then I’m afraid you’ll have to ask your grandma.”
David was not surprised to hear such an answer.

Back then, a large part of the reason why Old Mrs. Jones ran away from home in a fit of anger and resolutely moved to Seaxas was due to this engagement.
Old Mr. Jones strongly opposed the engagement, but Old Mrs. Jones refused to break off it no matter what. When Old Mr. Jones asked for the reason, Old Mrs. Jones refused to say anything.
However, when Old Mr. Jones learned that Rachel was the person who was engaged to David, his attitude changed subtly.
This subtle shift is enough to be explored.
“Are you saying nothing because you don’t know anything, or are you unwilling to talk about it?” The corners of David’s mouth curled up slightly. There was a faint smile on his face, and his eyes flickered with a sharp dark light.
