Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 833

Chapter 833 

Rachel instantly calmed down and regained her composure. There was a dark, menacing glint in her eyes. Her dead stare could easily pierce through a person’s chest. 

Het emotionless tone made her look even more intimidating. 

Hans was taken aback by her threatening pose. He stood stunned on the spot and gradually let go of her hand subconsciously 

Rachel immediately wrenched her hand free once she felt his grip loosening Without saying a word, she turned around and 

left 

Hans stood where he was and watched as Rachel left him behind. He squinted his eyes, and a flicker of darkness rose in the depths of his eyes 

His daughter had always been obedient and sensible since she was little. She hardly caused trouble and was a breeze to take 

cate of 

However, being too sensible might make one seem weak and an east target to bully. Rachel finally learned how to be firm. and decisive. Unfortunately, she had also emerged from her father’s shadow and no longer listened to him. 

Hans hoped that Rachel would behave sensibly tonight. Else, he might do something drastic to make her listen to him. 

After Rachel shook free from Hans, she slowly approached Lucas Miriam caught sight of her first. 

Miriam walked up to Rachel happily “Rae-Rac, you’re here too.” 

Miriam was intamiliar with Seaxas, and she did not know anyone at the banquet. Hence, she was bored to death. 

Fortunately, Rachel was there! 

Rachel broke into a smile. She glanced at Miriam’s and Lucas’s outhts, and straight away, Rachel could tell that a lot of thought had gone into designing them. 

Take the color of Lucas’s pocket square and the pattern on his tie. They complemented the designs on Miriam’s dress. 

Their outfits might look unassuming, but they were actually a low-key couple’s outfit. 

Of course, who would have thought of this ingenuity other than Miriam? 

There was no way a dull man like Lucas understood how it worked. He probably did not even notice the details when he put 

on the suit 

When I ucas, who was talking to someone, heard Rachel’s voice, he ended his conversation apologetically. “Sorry, please 

excuse me.” 

After he said that, he turned around and stood beside Rachel. “Why are you here?” 

“You are here, why can’t I Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly. 

Lucas did not mind Rachel’s presence. Rather, he was concerned about her, as the bidding might be an intricate affair. 

Heavyweights from all over the place has gathered there. From the political world to the business world and even the underground forces. Everyone had unsurmountable authority and deep financial resources. People of diverse backgrounds were there, from the best to the worst. Lucas did not want Rachel to come in contact with them. 

His gaze darted around the banquet hall as if looking for someone. “Where’s David?” 

“He’s probably busy with something.” Rachel said nonchalantly. 

Lucas frowned imperceptibly upon hearing what Rachel said. He did not concur with David’s actions. 

He was about to say something when a small commotion broke out in the lobby. 

Everyone turned around and saw Old Mr. Johnson walking in through the door. 

Beside Old Mr. Johnson stood the patriarchs of the Shain, Page, and Green families. 

Seaxas’s Four Families had a reputation and were well-known. No one was surprised by their appearance. 

Everyone greeted Old Mr. Johnson respectfully, and he kindly acknowledged them. When he saw Rachel, however, he was 

startled 

Old Mr. Johnson had not mentioned the bidding to Rachel because he did not want her to get involved in this kind of dealing. Else, she still showed up there. 

Without giving Rachel a chance to explain, Lucas said sarcastically, “Who else could it be other than that person!” Although no names were mentioned, Old Mr. Johnson knew who Lucas was talking about. 

His expression became stern, and he looked at Rachel pensively. Old Mr. Johnson heaved a long sigh and instructed her 

solemnly, “Rae-Rae, stay with me later.” 

Before he could finish speaking, there was another commotion at the stairs. 

Everyone’s attention was instantly directed toward the second level of the building. 

Under the bright chandelier lights, five men, with David in the lead, walked down the stairs slowly from the second floor. 

Behind David were Ronnie, a man with a scar on his face, and two other men in their thirties. 

Lucas, standing beside Rachel, leaned forward slightly and explained, “The man with the scar on his face works for Yandel. The other two on the left are Che from Elderville and Daniel from Somerville, respectively. Those two are influential people in both the business and underworld’ 

Rachel seemed to understand something from Lucas’s explanation. 

At the same time, their surroundings seemed to get rowdy and louder. 

“That’s David Jones? The head of the Jones family from Aureliana?” 

“I thought he has always kept a low profile and rarely appears in public. Why is it different this year? Could the rumors be 

truc 

“Looks like this year’s bidding will be more intense than the previous years.” 

Someone in the crowd said, “Mr. Jones is indeed a rare talent. It will be an utmost honor for the family whose daughter he fancies.” 

With that said, the topic of the discussion took a quick turn.
