Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 683

After much hesitation, Chris thought of Billy’s warning and ultimately followed along.

However, she maintained a distance and silently followed behind Rachel.

She stared thoughtfully at Rachel’s back.

Ever since she found out about the relationship between Rachel and Vulture, her attitude toward Rachel had

improved a little.

However, this did not mean that she acknowledged Rachel from the bottom of her heart.

In her eyes, Rachel was still not worthy of David.

A woman who could appear by David’s side had to add to his glory when he was successful and stand on her own

when facing adversity.

As Chris was thinking, Rachel suddenly stopped her strides.

She stood elegantly on the shore as if she was waiting for someone.

Chris narrowed her eyes and pondered for a moment before walking forward. “Miss Grey, what can I do for you?”

“It’s indeed very comfortable to interact with smart people.” Rachel looked at Chris and smiled. “Is your Boss in a

difficult situation here?”

Chris’ pupils constricted. She clearly did not expect Rachel to ask such a question.

She pursed her lips and didn’t reply.

Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly and asked emotionlessly, “You couldn’t tell me, or you wouldn’t. tell me?”

These two sentences seemed to be only one word different, but the meaning was completely different.

If she wouldn’t say it, it was only her own choice.

If she couldn’t say it, it meant that David had already instructed her to hide something.

After pondering for a long time, Chris raised her gaze and looked at Rachel. “Miss Grey, ask when you already know

the answer?”

This seemed to be an answer, but in fact, she threw the question back to Rachel.

The corners of her lips curled up into a playful smile.

Why do you

Chris looked at Rachel and thought for a moment. “Didn’t you call the people of Red Flame over as a precaution?”

“If I were the one who called them over, they wouldn’t have appeared in such a manner.” Rachel looked at Chris.

“But I can’t deny that I did deliberately expose my whereabouts.”

The reason why she could live an ordinary life all these years was because of Lucas Johnson.

She knew very well that as long as she contacted Lone Wolf, her whereabouts would naturally be exposed.

However, the appearance of Vulture and Blackhawk was much faster than she had imagined.

From this, it could be seen how quickly the Red Flame Army’s positioning system had developed in just a few years.

Chris was a straightforward person. She could not hide anything. After hesitating for a long time, she could not help

but ask, “Are you a good fighter?”

From an objective point of view, anyone who could enter the Red Flame Army was definitely not. showy eye candy.

Therefore, she was very curious about how strong Rachel was.

She could actually make the leader of the Red Flame Action Team dote on her so much.

Rachel raised her hand and casually tidied up the loose hair by her ear. She said meaningfully, “Anyway, I won’t

screw up at the critical moment and drag him down.”

Chris hurriedly nodded. “Miss Grey, you’re being too serious. I don’t dare to make wild guesses.”

“But that’s what you think.” Rachel put her hands behind her back and leaned toward Chris’ face. She smiled

mockingly and said, “And the answer is written on your face.”

Looking at Rachel’s face that was so close to hers, Chris couldn’t help but swallow her saliva, and her ears turned a

slightly unnatural shade of red.

She had to admit that Rachel’s face was breathtakingly beautiful.

Not only men but even women would also be fascinated when they saw it.

While she was still immersed in the shock on Rachel’s face, Rachel had already turned around and paced forward.

“Don’t worry. I won’t drag him down.”

These words were not only for Chris but also for herself.

As the daughter of the Johnson family, the wealthiest family in Seaxas, her status didn’t even rate at mention in

Aureliana.

Moreover, she was unfamiliar with Aureliana. Even if David wanted to protect her, he might not be able to do

anything at the same time.

She didn’t want David to be distracted by her at the critical moment, nor did she want to hide under David’s wings

and be unable to do anything.

She wasn’t afraid of violence.

She was afraid that she would be a burden to David.

“Actually, Boss hasn’t been doing well these past few years.” Chris had somehow caught up with Rachel. She

followed behind her step by step and said in a low voice, “The Jones family is complicated, with constant conflicts

between the main branch and the sub-branches. Even though Boss has taken over as the head of the family in

recent years, there are still those who are eager to seize

power.

“On the surface, that group of people looks respectful and obedient to Boss, but they’ve used all kinds of dirty tricks

in secret. For example, the car accident yesterday has long become a common occurrence over the years,” Chris

said.

There was a hint of mockery in her words. She did not take the people from the branch families. seriously at all.

“They didn’t feel at ease being stepped on by Boss. They even used the excuse of Boss being ruthless and

disregarding kinship to ask the Elders to force Boss to step aside. Isn’t the Elders’ fear of Boss also a kind of calm

before the storm?”

Hearing this, Rachel felt a sharp pain in her heart.

She had never heard David mention this before.

He had always used the simplest words to describe the ups and downs he had experienced over the

years.

Hence, Rachel never knew that he had been attacked from both sides all these years and had never enjoyed a

moment of peace.

However, David’s intentional concealment was understandable.

How could a man’s pride allow him to easily reveal the dangers and deaths he had escaped many times over the

years?

Seeing that Rachel was silent, Chris thought that she was afraid. An imperceptible mock flashed. across her eyes.

“As expected of Miss Grey, who only knew how to indulge in pleasure. Did she really think that the position of the

Young Mistress of the Jones family is so easy to sit on?” she said inwardly.

“Especially after Boss brought you back, the branch families kept making secret moves. It’s obvious that you’ve

become their target. If this car accident doesn’t work, there will be all kinds of sinister and dirty moves in the

future. I’m afraid you won’t be able to guard against them. Miss Grey.”

Upon hearing this, Rachel chuckled and said, “They flattered me by putting so much effort on me.”

Chris looked at Rachel in surprise.

This was different from the outcome she had imagined.

“Right now, Boss was surrounded by danger. If it were an ordinary person, escaping would be instinctive.

“How could Rachel Grey not be afraid at all?” she wondered.

“You’re not afraid at all?” Chris blurted out.

“What’s there to be afraid of? I’ll deal with whatever comes my way.” Rachel looked at her with a calm. and

indifferent expression. “Besides, Will they let me off if I am afraid?”

Hearing this, Chris stopped talking.

She knew very well that if Rachel were really afraid, not only would those people not let her off, but they would also

become worse and push their luck.

However, she was getting more and more confused about the woman in front of her.

In the past, every woman who was close to Boss dreamed of becoming rich and famous overnight. In her eyes,

Rachel was the same.

Therefore, Chris believed Rachel’s unwavering attitude toward David was just to cover up ambition!
