Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 691

When Rachel and David were about to go down, someone had already chosen a stone they liked from the many

stones.

That stone looked pretty good.

However, the stone was not worth the high price offered by the wealthy young man.

“What did you see?” David whispered to Rachel.

Rachel glanced at David and hooked her finger at him. Rachel whispered into David’s ear, “I guess

that stone is fake.”

Hearing this. David became interested. His thin lips curled into a faint smile, and his eyes were filled with

unknowingly doting and indulgence. “Why do you think so?”

As he spoke, David turned to look at the stone that the staff was cutting.

Under the flashlight, the stone had a white base color tinged with green. It looked like the stone was quite good.

Rachel looked at David, who was in front of her. Rachel’s clear almond-shaped eyes flickered with a sly smile.

“Because everyone thinks that this stone is real.”

At the end of the day, it required a strong mind in stone gambling.

Rachel glanced at the stone that was being cut, and she thought for a moment. She managed to explain in an

understandable way. “Stone gambling is utterly unpredictable. Either you become rich overnight, or you go

bankrupt. Those with weak minds might even take their own lives because of the loss. How many people have you

heard become rich overnight by stone gambling? Instead, there are countless people who go bankrupt because of

it. Emptying the stone and filling it with color, faking the outer edge of the stone, and faking the window on the

stone. These are commonly used methods to fake a stone.

“The boss of Moon Pavilion is not a fool. Tonight’s show is just a means to attract customers. Moreover, if the boss

really has a good piece of stone in his hands, why would he put it here if he’s not stupid?”

Thomas, who was far away in the surveillance room, could not help but twitch his lips when he heard

this.

As expected of David’s woman. Rachel had sharp insights and even sharper comments!

At the same time, the stone in the staff’s hand had already been cut open.

Just as Rachel had expected, when the stone was cut open, other than the line of green on the edge, the rest were

all worthless grey stone.

“Fuck!” The buyer of this stone could not help but curse softly. He turned his head and spat to the side. “How

fucking unlucky!”

The buyer spent 200 thousand dollars to buy a lousy stone!

When the surrounding people saw this, they were all aggrieved.

They sighed sorrowly as if they had also lost a lot of money.

“You know quite a lot.” David stretched out his arm and held Rachel’s waist. David pinched Rachel’s soft waist with

his hand, and he leaned over slightly to whisper, “Do you want to have a try? If you win, the money is yours. If you

lose, I’ll pay for it.”

Chapter 691

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll make you bankrupt?” Rachel raised her eyebrows and glanced at David.

Rachel had a beautiful pair of eyes. Even if she gave a casual glance, it inadvertently revealed a trace of seductive

charm.

David could not help but tighten his grip on Rachel’s waist. David’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and his gaze became

deeper and hotter. “If it can make you smile, it’s worth it.”

Rachel smiled.

When Rachel was young, under her grandfather’s influence, she gained some knowledge about antiques and

gemstones.

In addition, Rachel’s grandfather never hid anything from her. Seeing that Rachel was interested in these things,

her grandfather often brought her to major auction houses and other professional places.

Rachel’s grandfather had taught her some tricks in blind auctions and stone gambling.

Today, Rachel would try to see if the trick she learned in the past still worked.

“Give me a moment,” Rachel said and left the private room.

Rachel walked to the round table and casually looked at the stones placed on the table. Finally, Rachel chose the

most inconspicuous stone in the corner. “Number 1050, 20 thousand dollars.”

This price was much cheaper than the other stones.

At the very least, Rachel was confident that she wouldn’t lose anything by buying this stone at this price.

However, as soon as Rachel finished speaking, someone immediately followed up. “1050, 40 thousand dollars.”

Rachel was surprised. She looked over and vaguely saw the man standing in front of the wooden. railing.

The man was about 30 years old. He was wearing a standard white shirt and black suit. The man did not look like a

wealthy young man, but a bodyguard or a butler.

“That man is from the Clifford family,” Chris whispered.

Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly. “The Clifford family?”

Seeing that Rachel didn’t know much, Chris pursed his lips and didn’t know what to say.

Everyone in Aureliana knew that the Clifford family’s daughter had a close relationship with David. It could be said

that they were childhood sweethearts.

Most importantly, because of the relationship between the two families, the Jones family and the Clifford family had

already regarded each other as in-laws.

Almost everyone thought that the daughter of the Clifford family would marry into the Jones family

in the future.

No one expected that David would bring back a woman from outside.

As a subordinate, Chris knew very well what he should and shouldn’t say. After pondering for a moment, Chris said

earnestly, “The Clifford family and the Jones family are old friends.”

Rachel was no fool.

Naturally, Rachel understood the deeper meaning behind Chris’s words.

Since the two families were old friends, the relationship between the two families was surely close. Then, David

must be close to the Clifford girl as well.

Rachel didn’t look at the private room for too long. Instead, she continued bidding.

Rachel raised the price a few times, but the other party did not hesitate to follow raised to 200 thousand dollars.

Rachel frowned slightly. The other party was clearly targeting her.

1.

The price was

Just as Rachel was about to continue bidding, a familiar voice suddenly came from the private room. upstairs. “400

thousand dollars.”

In an instant, the entire place fell silent.

Everyone looked up to the private room upstairs, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Upstairs, the private rooms had always been open only to the big families in Aureliana. Although the others had

some money to spare, they were not qualified to be in the private rooms based on their social status.

“Which family is that person from? That was outrageous! He didn’t even take a look and doubled the price?”

“No matter which family it is, we can’t afford to offend them. Now that two wealthy people are competing, we can

just enjoy the show tonight.”

“The voice came from the Heavenly Private Room. Other than him, I’m afraid no one else can use the Heavenly

Private Room.”

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed slightly. They all showed a trace of fear.

At this moment, someone in the crowd said, “The bidder from the Earthly Private Room is also quite good. He’s

determined to get this stone.”

At this time, the person in the Earthly Private Room shook the silver bell in his hand. “600 thousand. dollars.”

Hearing this, excitement appeared on everyone’s faces.

The people had always enjoyed watching the show. Now that the people saw the people from the Heavenly Private

Room and Earthly Private Room challenging each other, they were all excited with their eyes lit up.

The people could not wait for the two of them to start fighting on the spot so that they could have more fun to

watch.

Rachel didn’t say anything. She just took out her phone and quickly typed with his fingertips. Rachel sent a message

to David.
