Chapter 505

A hint of impatience appeared between Rachel’s eyebrows, and her voice subconsciously turned cold.“Those don’t seem to have anything to do with you.”

In the end, Thomas was only Grandpa Shain’s grandson. Because the two families had a goodrelationship, the juniors often played together when they were little. However, there was no friendshipbetween them other than that, and she had never overdid it.

In particular, they gradually stopped contacting each other when they grew up. It was not anexaggeration to say that they were strangers.

Therefore, Thomas’s questions had crossed the line with Rachel at this moment. If she had known thatThomas would be such an unreasonable person when he grew up, she might as well not have knownhim back then.

Thomas, sensing Rachel’s mood, secretly chafed at being too hasty. “Rae-Rae, I’m sorry. I was rudejust now.”

“I still have something to do and have to go,” said Rachel.

Coincidentally, the elevator door behind her opened, and Eddie walked out. His gaze swept pastThomas as he called out respectfully, “Miss Grey.”

When Rachel saw Eddie, the coldness between her eyebrows faded a little. She nodded slightly, thenwalked past Eddie and straight into the elevator.

Watching Rachel and Eddie walking into the elevator one after another, Thomas’ deep eyes graduallydarkened with disappointment.

At the billiard room on the first floor, a few young socialites noticed the scene and could not help butmock, “No wonder the Johnson family never brought Rachel out before. They hid her like a treasure.Look, when she appeared, not only did she attract the attention of Mr. Jones, but even Mr. Shainseemed to be attracted to her.”

“The Johnson family wouldn’t have plucked her from the backcountry if she wasn’t capable, wouldthey?”

“As the saying goes, like mother, like daughter. Who do you think Rachel is?” “From what you’resaying, could it be that her mother did something else?”

The man being questioned enjoyed being the center of attention, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.He got a little carried away for a moment, and all he could do was reveal the family’s gossip. “I heardher mother fell in love with a certain man back then. It’s said that she even got pregnant andshamelessly pestered him. The other party was forced into a corner and had no choice but to marryher. As a result, she was eight months pregnant when she suddenly had a miscarriage, and the babywas born prematurely. But I’m puzzled. Why did she suddenly have a

miscarriage for no reason? There’s something fishy going on there. The man could be a backup man, abig loser!”

The surroundings burst into laughter as soon as he finished his words.

At this moment, the door behind him was kicked open.

Before the leader of the ridicule in the group could react, he was kicked in the back.

The corners of Lucas’s mouth curled up into a smile. He stepped on the person on the sofa and lookeddown at him. He took a cigarette from his pocket, put it in the corner of his mouth, and lit it. He saidcasually, “Shane, you have a lot of nerve talking about the Johnson family behind their back.”

His thin lips exhaled white smoke, and a trace of coldness and hostility flashed in his eyes.

When the man saw Lucas, his heart skipped a beat. “Mr… Mr. Johnson…”

Everyone knew that Rachel was the daughter of the Johnson family. Although with a different lastname, every man in the Johnson family treated her like a

treasure.

Not only did Shane mock Rachel, but he also openly discussed Sophia, which was enough to provokeLucas.

“Talk to me. What else do you know?” Lucas reached for Shane’s collar and flicked the cigarette ashwith his fingertips.

The scorching temperature made Shane gasp, but he didn’t dare to speak a word.

“I… I was drunk and said a few words. Mr. Johnson, don’t take it to heart.” Shane smiled apologetically.His tone was humble, and he no longer had the former arrogant attitude.
