Chapter 141

When Louis heard his words, a trace of disdain flashed across his eyes. “Rachel has no relatives.”

How could it be related to the Johnson family? How could it be the newly appointed CEO of theJohnson Corporation?

This was simply nonsense!

The assistant also knew that his guess was a little ridiculous.

After all, Louis had sent him to personally investigate Rachel’s background.

Given her background, she was indeed unworthy of being related to the Johnson family, let alonebecoming the female CEO of the Johnson Corporation.

Louis said calmly, “It’s just a coincidence.”

When the assistant heard this, he did not dare to continue making wild guesses.

The next second, he heard Louis say, “Go talk to the security guard at the door later. Ask him to replaceout what position Rachel Grey currently holds in the Johnson Corporation.”

Now, CEO Grey of the Johnson Corporation had turned them away and refused to see them, let alonetalk about a collaboration.

If he wanted to see Ms. Grey, he could only work on Rachel.

However, they had just parted on bad terms. He was not sure if Rachel would agree to his request.

Louis frowned. Based on his understanding of Rachel, this woman would definitely not help him.

After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and called Old Mr. Smith.

After he briefly explained the situation, he said earnestly, “Grandpa, you also know that cooperatingwith the Johnson Corporation means a lot to Smith Group. If I wasn’t desperate, I wouldn’t have askedyou to come forward.”

Old Mr. Smith pondered for a moment. “I’ll think of a way to contact her, but I can’t guarantee that she’llhelp you.”

After hanging up the phone, Old Mr. Smith hesitated again and again before calling Rachel.

Rachel frowned slightly when she saw the call from Old Mr. Smith. However, she still picked it up out ofconsideration for their past ties.

As soon as she did, Old Mr. Smith said, “Girl, it’s good that you’re willing to answer my call.”

“What are you talking about?” Rachel said, “May I know why you’re calling me?”

Her cold voice was indifferent, and there was almost no fluctuation in her tone.

Old Mr. Smith knew very well that Louis had let her down. Coupled with the incident at

his birthday banquet, this girl also felt estranged from him.

However, when he thought of the Smith family’s current awkward situation, the guilt in his heart was stilloverwhelmed by the Smith family’s development prospects. “I don’t mean anything else. I just hope that

you can attend the Smith Group’s anniversary celebration. After all, it’s all thanks to you that we can bewhere we are today. Therefore, I hope that you can attend the Smith family’s celebration personally.”

“The Smith family doesn’t have any connection with me, so my appearance won’t affect the Smithfamily in any way.” Rachel paused for a moment, and her lips curled into an ironic smile. “I don’t thinkany of them would want me to appear there.”

When Old Mr. Smith heard this, he fell into a short silence. “Rae-Rae, I don’t have the right to beg youto forgive them. After all, they were the ones who let you down first. However, in life, you should belooking forward. Why take the past to heart? Get over the past, and everything will develop in a gooddirection.”

“Am I developing in a good direction, or is the Smith family developing in a good direction?” Rachel’scold voice came through the phone, revealing an unreasonable coldness.

On the other end of the phone, Old Mr. Smith was speechless.

“I can promise you that I won’t go against the Smith family’s people. I’m also willing to leave the Smithfamily some dignity. However, I hope that you guys won’t provoke me again.” Rachel said coldly, “I stillhave something on. I’ll hang up now.”

With that, she hung up.

However, after a while, her phone rang again. After she declined, it rang again.

There was a trace of impatience and frustration between her eyebrows as she picked up the phone.

However, it was not Old Mr. Smith’s voice that came from the phone.
