Chapter 697“Ha!” Thomas let out a low laugh. He played with the lighter with his fingertips. Thomas curled his longand narrow eyes slightly, revealing a hint of flirtatiousness. “According to what you said, Miss Grey issuch a capable person.”Landon lit the cigarette and took a puff. He said casually, “She’s very capable.”To be able to make David, who had always been calm and steady, go crazy like this, Rachel must bereally capable.Judging from all the things that had happened, Rachel was nothing like a pampered and useless richgirl.“The person from the Clifford family met Rachel yesterday?” Jimmy changed the topic at the right time.“That person is famous for her difficult personality. Did she not play any tricks?”When Thomas heard this, he curled his lips and put on a meaningful smile. “Although she didn’t playany tricks now, there’s no guarantee that she won’t go behind our backs.”Among the big families in Aureliana, the most special one was the Clifford family.It was not that the Clifford family had a prominent status, but that the Clifford family was the only familywith a female. lineage.Moreover, every head of the Clifford family was a woman.The Clifford family girl that they were talking about was the successor of the family head that Old Ms.Clifford had personally designated.Due to the relationship between the Jones family and the Clifford family, there had always been rumorsthat Jennifer Clifford would be the future mistress of the Jones family.

The rumors had become more and more vivid over the years. However, David suddenly came backwith Rachel by his side.The rumors broke instantly. For a moment, there were all kinds of sayings.Coupled with the fact that David had openly snat ched Jennifer’s things last night to help Rachel venther anger, the gossip was going crazy.

“To be honest, with the Clifford girl’s temper, she will definitely replace a way to seek revenge after Davidmade her unhappy and the topic of discussion last night.” Jimmy held a watch and wipedthe dialrepeatedly. “At Old Mr. Jones’ birthday banquet last year, she even dared to attack the daughter of anaristocratic family that was close to the Clifford family. I heard that that woman has gone crazy and hasbeen in a men tal hospital all year round.“No one knows what she did. The Clifford family only paid a sum of money as compensation in theend.” When they talked about this, the three of them didn’t show any emotional fluctuations.

They had fought their way up to get the position of family heir. To be in their positions, they no longerknew what it was like to feel pity.“In your opinion…” Thomas looked up at Jimmy.“Naturally, I’m giving you this good opportunity to redeem. yourself.” Jimmy smiled. “With the Cliffordfamily’s previous deeds, she might not let it go easily. She might attack Rachel. If you discoveranything, that’s your opportunity to contribute.”Thomas raised his eyebrows slightly. Seeing the watch in Jimmy’s hand, Thomas frowned slightly.“When did your taste become so vulgar?”“That watch of his is also a limited edition,” Landon said meaningfully.As they spoke, Rachel and David came downstairs.

A few people chatted. Rachel was more like a loyal listener. However, Rachel drooped her eyes lazily.She looked listless and uninterested in anything. At this moment, Yann walked over and bent downslightly. Yann leaned over to David and whispered, “Sir, there’s news from the old residence. They saidthat they’re holding a family banquet and specially invited you to go with Miss Grey.” As soon as Yannfinished speaking, the expressions on everyone’s faces changed slightly. They looked at David withintriguing gazes. David lowered his eyes and responded indifferently. After Yann left, the impatientJimmy spoke first. “David, are you really planning to bring Rachel to the banquet?” The Jones familywas not an ordinary family. The so-called family banquet was more like a trap. Although Rachel was notweak, in order to avoid any accidents, it was safest to expose Rachel’s existence later.

After all, the Jones family had all kinds of ruthless means. They would replace a way to get Racheleventually.Rachel, who had been silent all this while, suddenly asked, “Why don’t I go?”Rachel sat up slightly and perked up. “This is a good opportunity to introduce me to themopenly.”Hearing this, the three people sitting opposite fell silent. A hint of contempt flashed across Thoma s’s eyes. Rachel was getting more and more arrogant. Rachel should know better.

The Jones family was basically a wolf’s den. The way Rachel was rushing into the Jones family was nodifferent than courting death. “Rachel, it’s actually…” Jimmy wanted to talk Rachel out of it, but beforeJimmy could finish, David suddenly said, “If you want to go, we will go. I will protect you no matterwhat.” Hearing this, Jimmy could not help but curse in his heart. F**k! They had lost their da mn minds!Jimmy pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Landon. They had knownDavid for many years and knew David’s temper very well. No one could change David’s decisionexcept himself. Thirty minutes later, Rachel returned to her room and changed her clothes. Rachelchose a well-tailored suit. Rachel wore a striped two-piece blazer with a pair of black wide-leggedpants.

Rachel’s outfit was neither rigid nor too casual.Rachel tied her soft long hair behind her head, and a wisp of hair hung down from her forehead. Rachellooked elegant and gentle.“I’m done. Let’s go.” Rachel walked out of the changing room and stood in front of David confidently.David hung up the phone and turned around. The moment David saw Rachel, the coldness in David’seyes disappeared and was replaced by gentleness.When David and Rachel walked down the stairs, Billy and Christurned their heads in unison.The two of them were slightly stunned.

The woman’s slender and tall figure was slightly thin, but whenshe walked with David, she looked no inferior. They surprisingly matched each other.When Vulture, who was standing upstairs, saw this scene, an indescribable bitterness surged in hisheart.”Indeed, the things he missed were no longer his.“Hey!” Vulture looked at Rachel’s departing figure and suddenly called out to her.Rachel stopped in her tracks and turned around.Vulture threw something at Rachel.Before Rachel could see clearly, she caught it instinctively.“It’s a gift I prepared for you. It’s the most suitable gift for you now.” Vulture looked at Rachel, and hiseyes revealed a hint of gentleness. “Take it for self-defense. The Jones family is not a good or safeplace. Be more careful.”It was a golden version of the Desert’s Eagle.Rachel looked down at the gun Vulture handed her and smiled. “Don’t worry.”With that, Rachel turned around and left.
