Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 693

“What?” David raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Thomas.

Thomas took a puff of his cigarette and sized David up with a serious expression. “I think you’ve been bewitched.”

In Thomas’ impression, David had always been very rational. No matter what happened, David could remain sober

and calm.

However, ever since David met Rachel, David seemed to have been bewitched.

First, David wiped out the ninth branch of the Jones family for Rachel. David did not care if he had to break the

peace on the surface. Then, David spent 1.2 million dollars to sna tch. something from the Cliffords just to make

Rachel smile.

David looked at Rachel with unknowing infatuation. His thin lips parted slightly as David said indifferently, “Perhaps.”

David had long been sure that Rachel had a significant influence on him.

Later on, when they interacted, David remained calm and restrained, thinking that he could control everything,

including his feelings for Rachel.

However, the fact was that David couldn’t control everything in reality.

Rachel was the most colorful swatch in David’s life, and also the most powerful surprise.

Because of what David said, the surrounding people swarmed Rachel’s side.

“Young lady, I’ll pay 6 million dollars. How about you give me this stone?”

“This stone is worth more than 6 million dollars. Miss, don’t be fooled by him. I’ll pay 12 million dollars…”

“Forget about them. Sell it to me for 18 million dollars! This stone was bought for 1.2 million, and I offer 18 million

dollars. My offer is over 10 times more.”

Everyone spoke one after another in exaggerated ways.

However, Rachel remained indifferent, as if she did not hear what the people said.

“Thank you for your kindness. However, since this is a gift from someone, how can I sell it so easily?” Rachel’s voice

was cold, giving off an insurmountable sense of distance. “If I were to sell it just like that, wouldn’t I be letting down

the gentleman who bought it just now?”

Everyone finally understood that Rachel was showing off their love.

However, there had long been rumors that the girl from the Clifford family was going to marry into the Jones family

and become the next mistress of the Jones family.

But now, David had spent 1.2 million and handed what he bought to this young lady. David was clearly interested in

her.

Could it be that the previous rumors were wrong?

Rachel was not in the mood to guess what everyone was thinking.

Rachel tilted her head slightly and instructed Chris, “Get the thing and let’s get out of here.”

Chris responded and took a step forward. Chris wrapped the stone in red satin and tucked it under his arm. Then,

Chris turned around and left in a cool manner.

“Wait.” An experienced but deep voice suddenly sounded. “Miss, if you don’t mind, how about we make a bet?”

Rachel paused her footsteps slightly. Rachel slowly turned around, and her gaze met with the old man who walked

out of the crowd. The old man was in a light grey suit, and he was holding a wine glass in his hand. The old man had

a lean figure. Although he was an elder, his eyes were bright like an eagle’s. } The old man looked at Rachel with a

faint distance in his eyes. “Miss, are you willing to make a bet with me?” “Sorry, I…” Before Rachel could finish, the

old man spoke again. “If you lose, it’s on me. If you win, you can take it.” Rachel was suspicious. “Why would you do

that?” There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Moreover, it was in such a place. As long as it was

about a gamble, everyone here was no different from those people in the casino. Hearing Rachel’s words, the

surrounding people were so angry that they laughed.

It was such a good deal, and Rachel actually asked why. The people wondered if there was something wrong with

Rachel.

“Miss, do you know who he is?” Someone in the crowd said, “That’s Mr. Davies. Since he said it, he won’t go back

on his word!”

The surrounding people urged Rachel to agree quickly.

Rachel might miss out on this opportunity.

Mr. Davies, who had always been proud and arrogant, suddenly

calmed down. His tone was gentle, and a faint smile appeared on his face. “Because you look a lot like a friend of

mine.” “That’s not a very convincing reason.” Rachel remained calm the whole time. Rachel was not tempted and

lost her mind. Instead, she seemed to be on guard against something. “I do have a presumptuous request.”

Sensing the wariness in Rachel’s heart, Mr. Davies slowly turned the glass in his hand. “If you lose, come with me

tonight.” As soon as Mr. Davies finished speaking, everyone couldn’t help but look intrigued. Who would have

thought that Mr. Davies, who had always been aloof, would one day be blinded by women? However, no one knew if

the man in the Heavenly Private Room would agree. At this point, Rachel had no choice but to agree. Moreover,

Rachel felt that she might not lose. “How do you want to bet?” Rachel asked. “Blind Bet, of course.” Blind Bets were

the riskiest and most exciting in stone gambling because there was no prediction of the stone at all.

The only thing one could rely on was experience and feelings to determine the value of a stone.

Therefore, other than those who were extremely experienced, ordinary people did not dare to do Blind Bets.

After all, nine out of ten gamblers lost. Not everyone had a strong mind and could face losing everything.

“Rachel seems to have been targeted.” Thomas was a typical

spectator. Thomas raised his eyebrows slightly, and a gloating

smile appeared in his eyes. “Mr. Davies is shameless. He’s already so old, but he still tries to get young girls.”

When David heard this, he glanced at Thomas indifferently and said expressionlessly, “Do you think she will lose?”

“Is she going to win?” Thomas asked.

It was not that Thomas looked down on Rachel, but Rachel’s opponent was too powerful.

Mr. Davies was the head of the Davies family. In the early years, the Davies family made a fortune out of antiques.

Later, the Davies family traded gemstones.

The Davies family had many precious gemstone mines, all thanks to Mr. Davies’s ability to appraise treasures.

Thomas thought that Rachel picked a Pink Sappire mostly because of luck.

At this moment, Tho m as ‘s trusted aide walked forward and said respectfully, “Master, the people below have

started a bet.”

Thomas put out the cigarette in his hand and asked casually, “What kind of bet?”

The aide quickly glanced at David. Then, he lowered his eyes. “Miss Grey’s odds are 1 to 10. Mr. Davies’s odds are 1

to 2.”

Now, everyone expected Rachel to lose.

Hearing this result, Thomas was not surprised. He looked at David. “Why don’t we join in the fun?”

“I’ll bet on Rachel.”

Nice!

Thomas liked how David was obsessed!

Tho ma s’s eyes flickered with excitement as he hurriedly urged. his aide beside him, “Quick, quick, quick, bet on

Mr. Davies!”

Thomas’ tone was anxious as if Thomas was afraid that David

would regret it in the next second
