Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David)
Chapter 39

Chapter 39

David looked up and glanced at him indifferently.

Eddie immediately understood. “I’ll get to it right now.”

Ten minutes later, Eddie entered the conference room with a gloomy expression on his face. A coldbreeze blew in, causing the temperature in the conference room to plunge to zero.

It seemed that someone ignorant had angered David again.

Eddie sorted out his feelings before eagerly walking toward David and handing him the electronictablet. “Sir, take a look at this.”

David took the tablet, only to see the scene of Rachel entering the Smith Group.

Staring at the woman’s slender body, David asked with an austere gaze, “Was her resignationsuccessful?”

“Yeah,” Eddie said, not daring to hide any details of Rachel’s resignation. He gave a clear explanationof everything to David. However, toward the end, he began stuttering a little.

David frowned and glared daggers at Eddie.

Eddie cleared his throat and said carefully, “We couldn’t replace any traces of where Miss Grey went. Aftershe left the Smith Group, the surveillance cameras within the vicinity all malfunctioned.”

That could only mean that someone had deliberately hidden the details of where Rachel went.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, there seemed to be a massive snowstorm in theconference room.

With a sullen gaze in his eyes and his lips pressed tightly together, David exuded a terrifying sense ofoppression.

When he sensed the man’s austere aura, Eddie, who stood at the side, couldn’t help but have a layerof tiny sweat droplets break out on his forehead.

He knew that David was really exasperated.

After hesitating and dilly–dallying for a moment, he carefully said, “Mr.

Jones, I’ve already sent people to check on this. I believe we’ll have an outcome soon.”

“How soon is soon?” the man asked in a slow and deep voice that would make one shudder.

Eddie trembled with a feeling of dismay, thinking that he was definitely going to get criticized for hisinefficiency.

Just as he was about to speak to make up for it, David suddenly stood up and said, “The meeting shallend here.”

After saying that, he strode away and left the conference room. His legs were long and slender.

Eddie frantically packed up the things on the table and chased after David. At the same time, he calledhis friend and urged him to speed up the investigation.

By the time he reached the office, he had received the information. After skimming through the contentquickly, Eddie’s gaze became complicated.

The moment he entered the office, he didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly handed his mobile phone toDavid. “Mr. Jones, please take a look.”

While looking through the information, David’s stern face eased a little, and his menacing aura fadedtoo.

There even seemed to be a faint smile on his lips. He muttered softly, “So it’s the Johnson family…”

“Mr. Jones, do we continue investigating further?”

After that experience just now, Eddie didn’t dare to relax when it came to Rachel.

In fact, he even secretly made up his mind to inform David immediately whenever there was newinformation about Rachel.

Eddie stood still for a long time, but David still had not reacted.

Eddie looked over in puzzlement, only to see clearly David’s every move in the reflection of the floor–to–ceiling glass window, which seemed to be a mirror.

The man had his back facing Eddie and was sending a text message with his head hung low. Eddiecouldn’t help but smirk.

Since he got Rachel’s number, David had never chatted with her properly. The last message in theirchat was of Rachel suggesting they visit Old Mrs. Jones.

David tapped his long and slender fingers against the keyboard. [What are you doing?]

Before sending it, he hesitated and decided not to do so as he thought that he might be prying into herprivacy by asking that.

He frowned and quickly edited the text message. He retyped, [Have you eaten?]

However, he thought it wasn’t a good idea either because it sounded corny and insincere.

After editing the message for a long time, David eventually sent a rose emoji without any words.
