Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 729

“Miss Grey, you’re a gifted and intelligent woman. You already have an answer, right?” Mr. Davies played with the

cup in his hand and glanced at Rachel. “All the coincidences are just deliberately made.”

He threw the question back to Rachel.

Mr. Davies’s attitude right now indirectly confirmed Rachel’s guess.

Her mother’s photo, the old friend that Mr. Davies had mentioned repeatedly, and Mr. Davies’s current attitude

seemed to be guiding Rachel in a certain direction.

As a player in this “game”, she did not know where she was heading or what she was going to be faced with.

It was as if she had been forcefully given a mission and pushed forward passively by a pair of hands behind her

back. This gave her a deep sense of powerlessness.

“Mr. Davies, what you said to me in Moon Pavilion left a deep impression on me. It’s not that I’m gifted and

intelligent, but it’s all thanks to Mr. Davies’s advice.” Rachel shifted the topic to Mr. Davies again.

She looked up at Mr. Davies with a calm gaze. “To be honest, I came here today to ask you something”

When Mr. Davies heard this, he smiled slightly. “There are some things in this world that need to be dug out by

yourself instead of letting other people tell you what they are.”

Rachel frowned and coldness mounted up in the depths of her eyes.

Back then, he was kind enough to give the diamond to her and he only asked her to come here to have coffee with

him so that she could have an excuse to come and talk to him.

However, she did not expect that Mr. Davies would not talk about that ‘old friend’ even when she came to visit.

Since that was the case, why did he give her the excuse to come to his house back then?!

“Everyone says that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I think that no matter how great the ability

is, everyone has their own responsibility. Mr. Davies’s words carried the gentleness of an elder. He said slowly,

“Everything in the world has its own fate. When it’s time to know the truth, it will naturally surface. Instead of

insisting on investigating, it’s better to let nature take its course.”

Rachel curled her lips and lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them. “It’s better to face the difficulties head-

on than to let nature take its course.”

She didn’t like the feeling of being controlled by others.

Since she had entered the game, instead of being played by others, it was better to break the rules and create her

own rules. Mr. Davies’s eyes flashed slightly as he looked at Rachel with a complicated expression on his face.

Soon, he calmed himself down, and in the blink of an eye, he smiled gently towards her. “Everything is about

opportunities. Not telling you the truth now is actually a way of protecting you, isn’t it?”

“Miss Grey, just remember that no matter what happens, the Davies family will never stand against you.”

His casual words were powerful and carried great meanings.

Rachel’s heart sk ip ped a beat. She suddenly looked up at Mr. Davies, her eyes filled with probing.

If they easily made such a heavy promise to a stranger, the Davies family would not be worthy of being one of the

most prestigious families.

Therefore, all of this was ultimately because of her relationship with Aureliana.

Or perhaps it was because of the ‘old friend’ that Mr. Davies mentioned.

Rachel thought that she would be able to find the answer here, but now, it made her even more uneasy.

When she left, there was a deep frown between her eyebrows, like a cloud that could not be dispelled.

Mr. Davies took a deep breath as he watched the two of them leave.

He took out an empty cup and made another cup of coffee. He said casually, “She’s already gone Why aren’t you

coming

out?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a person slowly walked out from behind the gold-embedded screen behind Mr.

Davies. The man was wearing a black suit. His snow-white hair was meticulously styled, and his sun-kissed skin

perfectly matched his overwhelming aura.

Although he was almost 80 years old, his gaze was like an eagle’s and he was quite energetic One could vaguely

see the sharpness of his youth.

The man was the head of the Cook family, Andrew Cook, who had not appeared in public for a long time.

Unlike the other families, the Cook family was a martial family. As the head of the family, Mr. Cook was the inheritor

of ancient combat skills.

Mr. Davies played with the cup in his hand as he looked up at the man. “What do you think?”

Andrew looked in the direction where Rachel left. When he heard this, his eyes met Mr. Davies’s. “Have you heard

of a saying?”

“What?”

The man walked to the window and looked up at the trees that were rustling in the wind. He sighed slightly and said

slowly. “One day, when the tiger returns to the mountain, blood will definitely be shed and stain the sky red.”

His deep and hoa rse voice was powerful and intimidating.

Mr. Davies was a bit stunned.

He glanced at the man beside him with a meaningful smile. “It’s been a long time since I’ve heard you speak so

highly of

someone.

“This girl might really be able to break the current balance,” Andrew said. “It’s just that her existence must have

made people want to get rid of her.”

A hint of mockery appeared in Mr. Davies’s eyes. “Some people have been messing around recklessly with no

consequences for so long over the years. It’s time to let them have a taste of what it feels like to have a sword

hanging above their heads.” Hearing this, Andrew glanced at Mr. Davies.

They both smiled significantly as their eyes met.

At the same time, the car drove towards the Peckham Palace.

David’s palm landed on Rachel’s sore waist and massaged it with moderate strength.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the woman leaning on his shoulder. Noticing the laziness in her eyes, he felt

guilty. He had indeed pushed his luck last night because he was injured,

“Do you want to sleep for a while since you’re tired?”

“Yeah,” Rachel replied gloomily.

He was a little bit rough on her last night and she fell asleep immediately.

The car drove into the Peckham Palace. David was not in a hurry to get out of the car. Instead, he gently placed

Rachel on his lap to let her sleep more comfortably.

Sitting in the front row, Billy and Chris felt like they had been forced to witness this.

David was getting more and more carried away in front of Miss Grey.

In the past, David had no interest in romantic relationships and didn’t want to have a girlfriend at all.

However, ever since he met Miss Grey, he had no bottom line. Now, he was actually willing to be her pillow.

Sure enough, everything had its weakness.

Just as the two of them were exclaiming, they quietly opened the car door and got out.

But then they ran into Jimmy.

He looked past Billy and Chris, his eyes flashing with a malicious smile. “I was just wondering what’s going on in the

car. No matter how h or ny you are, you have to consider the timing.”

As he spoke, he walked forward and was about to knock on the car window.

Just as he walked over, the car window in front of him slowly rolled down, and the well-defined face of David

appeared in front of him..
