Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 689

David waved his hand at Rachel.

Rachel immediately understood. She walked forward and sat beside David.

As soon as Rachel sat down, David grabbed her slightly cold hand and said unhurriedly, “Since we’ve investigated it

thoroughly, we’ll get them uprooted.”

David didn’t hide his murderous and decisive hostility under his casual tone.

Originally, David did not intend to deal with this group of people.

In David’s eyes, these people were no different from lowlives struggling at death’s door.

However, whatever they did, they should never have targeted Rachel.

Since they had targeted David’s woman, they should be prepared to be at death’s door.

Yann’s eyes flashed slightly. Yann observed David’s expression and hesitated for a moment. Yann enunciated each

word tentatively, “Sir, the ninth branch has many important businesses under its name. Maybe we can…”

David poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Rachel. “Spare their lives. The rest is

up to you.” David’s nonchalant voice was like a spring breaking through ice. His voice was cold and thin, making

one’s heart turn cold for no reason.

Yann replied, “Yes.”

Yann couldn’t help but glance at Rachel, and he silently prayed for the people from the ninth branch.

The ninth branch already had a good life. Why did they have to do it and court death?

When they returned to Peckham Palace, Rachel had already fallen asleep on David’s shoulder.

Rachel had a dreamless night and slept soundly.

However, a family in the city had changed overnight.

First, there was an inexplicable fire at home. Fortunately, the servants at home discovered it in time, so there were

no casualties.

However, the family suffered heavy losses.

The entire villa was burned to ashes, and there were many antiques and artworks.

However, that was not the end of their suffering. Before the family could find the source of the fire, the officers

from the Supervision Bureau came and took them away for investigation.

Everything happened suddenly and fast. The family was caught off guard.

When people saw the Jones family’s ninth branch go bankrupt overnight, they all felt that life was unpredictable.

However, there were also smart people who noticed that it was not that simple.

With the Jones family’s power and status in Aureliana, even the ninth branch would not fall overnight.

apart

Unless their own family members did it.

Before people could figure out why, the other eight branches of the Jones family branch also had

problems.

For a moment, the entire Jones family was in a state of panic, and the outside world had differing opinions.

Some people said that the Jones family was about to change, while others speculated that the competition for the

new family head was about to start…

In the study of the Peckham Palace.

David was sitting in a chair with a black, gilded invitation letter in his hand.

In the middle of the paper was a redbud flower. As the angle changed, one could vaguely see the redbud flower

blooming bit by bit.

“You suddenly attacked the side branches. People are saying all kinds of things.” Thomas’s voice came from the

phone. “In the past, you turned a blind eye to them. Now, you’re willing to kill for a woman. Aren’t you a little too

impulsive?”

Thomas did not feel pity for the people from the side branches.

Instead, Thomas analyzed this matter objectively.

The Jones family was no ordinary family.

The Jones family was ruthless. The more David cared about Rachel, the more guns were aimed at Rachel.

Now that David had directly wiped out the ninth branch for Rachel, this matter probably wouldn’t be hidden for

long.

Once it was exposed, Rachel would face a new round of assassinations.

There were many people in the Jones family who hated David to the core. Even David’s biological father was the

same.

They wanted to kill David, but they were afraid of David’s force, so they had no choice but to suppress their restless

hearts.

However, Rachel was the only woman by David’s side, and David loved Rachel very much. Naturally, Rachel would

become everyone’s target.

“I advise you don’t care about Rachel too much. Even if you care, please try your best to restrain yourself,” Thomas

advised earnestly. “This time, you can take down the ninth branch for her, but what about the future? You can’t

possibly foresee every assassination attempt, right?”/

David put down the invitation card in his hand and tapped it lightly with his well-defined fingers. He said casually,

“Why not?”

Thomas was speechless.

It turned out that Thomas’ earnest persuasion just now was useless!

“Forget it, forget it.” Thomas knew that it would be a waste of breath to continue persuading David. “There’s a

lively event at Moon Pavilion tonight. Do you want to go?”

“We’ll see.”

After hanging up the phone, David glanced at the invitation letter on the table. After hesitating for a moment, David

took the invitation letter and walked out of the study.

In the kitchen.

Rachel was making some coffee when she heard familiar footsteps behind her. Rachel picked up the freshly cooked

coffee and handed it to David. “Try it and see how it tastes.”

David looked at the clear liquid in the cup and frowned imperceptibly.

Holding Rachel’s hand, David brought the cup to his lips and took a sip.

The faint coffee scent was mixed with a fresh fruit fragrance. The taste of the coffee was very unique. However,

David had never liked sweetness, so he didn’t like the taste, but he didn’t hate it either.

“How is it?” Rachel carefully observed the expression on David’s face, afraid that she would miss any emotional

changes. “Is the taste too sweet?”

As she spoke, Rachel picked up the cup in her hand and took a sip.

The taste of the coffee bean combined with the taste of the lime. The taste was sweet but not too

sweet.

The next second, David suddenly pressed himself down on Rachel.

With his palm on the back of Rachel’s head, David leaned over and kissed Rachel’s lips.

The liquid in Rachel’s cup splashed out and splattered on her chest, soaking her blouse wet.

David stared at Rachel without blinking. When David saw her stunned expression, a smile appeared in his eyes.

David wrapped his arms around Rachel’s waist and pressed his forehead against hers. His deep voice was hoarse.

“It’s indeed very sweet.”

Before Rachel could speak, a mocking voice came from the side. “Can the two of you restrain yourselves in public?

If not, remember to be more discreet.”

Rachel was embarrassed.

Seeing that Rachel did not speak, Vulture became more excited. “If I came out later, you probably already have

children running around…”

Before Vulture could finish his sentence, a cold light flashed.

A sharp knife flew straight at the Vulture.

“Fuck!” Vulture cursed in a low voice. He suddenly dodged and narrowly avoided it.

The knife was nailed to the door frame, only 0.5 inches away from Blackhawk’s face.”

If Blackhawk came in a little earlier, the knife would have been stuck in his head by now.

“You’re playing with knives in the room?” Blackhawk pulled out the knife and gently stroked the blade with his

fingers. “This house is so good. If you destroy something, won’t it be a waste?”

Besides, this would be Twelve’s inheritance in the future.

If Twelve didn’t feel aggrieved, Blackhawk would.
