Marina secretly observed the expression on Old Mrs. Jones’s face. After helping Old Mrs. Jons take themedicine, she complained anxiously.

She vividly described how David had threatened and disrespected her in front of outsiders.

“Mother, you have to stand up for me.” Marina looked at Old Mrs. Jones with an aggrieved expression.“David is simply muddle-headed now. He dares to treat me like this for the sake of a woman. Whatother foolish things will he do for her in the future?”

“You forced David to be where he is today.” Old Mrs. Jones raised her eyes and looked at Marinameaningfully. “You and the others deserve it.”

Marina’s eyes flickered slightly, but her expression did not change. She still whined like a child.“Mother, you don’t believe me?”

“Actions have consequences, but as long as you have a clear conscience, no rumors can harm you.”Old Mrs. Jones rubbed her fingertips against the cup on the table, speaking calmly, “I do not wish tomeddle in the past, but I have to be fair today. You have clearly overstepped your bounds. If it weren’tfor my sake, do you think you could have appeared before me unscathed, given David’stemperament?”

Hearing this, Marina’s eyes turned cold. “I’ve long suspected that you’re biased towards David. I didn’texpect you to really dote on him and refuse to dote on me, your own daughter!”

Old Mrs. Jones raised her eyes and stared at Marina,

After a long time, she sighed slightly.

“Since you accuse me of being biased, I will openly show my favoritism this time! As long as I am here,you won’t get away with your foolish behavior in Seaxas!” Old Mrs. Jones declared firmly, with a coldand sharp gaze. “If you dare to lay a finger on that girl again, I won’t go easy on you regardless of whatDavid will do to you!”

Old Mrs. Jones was also a swift and decisive person when she was young. She had always used thegentlest tone to do the most ruthless things.

It was just that she was getting on in years, and she often turned a blind eye to some things.

However, once Old Mrs. Jones was really angry, it was enough to make people scared of her.

Marina narrowed her eyes and stared at Old Mrs. Jones without blinking. Her tone was filled withdisbelief. “Are you going to support David to marry that

woman?”

Old Mrs. Jones did not care about the surprise on Marina’s face. Instead, she explained in a gentle andpatient tone, “It’s not to support David in marrying that girl, but to ensure that she can marry David.”

Upon first hearing, this sentence may not have seemed different, but upon careful consideration, itcarried a completely different meaning

The former was David willing to marry Rachel, while the latter depended on whether Rachel was willingto marry David.

As long as Rachel was willing to marry David, nothing could stop her.

Marina stared at Old Mrs. Jones in a daze. After a long while, she said firmly, “Father will definitely notagree. The people of the Elders will not let this go!”

What was David’s identity?

He was an influential figure in Aureliana, with significant power and high status. While the Elders fearedhim, they also coveted the power in his hand.

How could they let David marry a woman they didn’t know?

Old Mrs. Jones stared at Marina for a moment. In the end, she did not say anything.

She stood up slowly. “I’m tired. You can go back.”

With that, Old Mrs. Jone slowly walked towards the bedroom with the help of Rosie.
