    Chapter 318 The Peace Before The Storm


    After Rachel left, Old Mrs. Jones’s smile faded a little. “Now that she’s gone, just say what you want to.”


    Hearing this, David smiled and looked at Old Mrs. Jones with an


    unfathomable gaze. “As expected, nothing can escape your eyes.”


    Old Mrs. Jones did not buy David’s ttery. She snorted softly. “Stop it. After all, you have a wife.


    You’ve got such a glib tongue.”


    David touched the bridge of his nose awkwardly. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, “She will be


    your future granddaughter–inw and the next mistress of the Jones family.”


    His tone was neither fast nor slow, and there was even a hint of indifference andziness in it.


    However, his words were filled with a resolute and decisive aura, causing one to be shocked.


    When Old Mrs. Jones heard this, her expression did not change much. She said calmly, “Isn’t this


    already set in stone?”


    In other words, saying this was equivalent to saying nonsense.


    She picked up the cup in front of her and looked at the coffee in it. She said. meaningfully, “You should


    know that this is not what I’m worried about.”

    David said, “I know. I’m here this time mainly because I hope that you can. give me the engagement


    token from back then.”


    Old Mrs. Jones frowned slightly. She looked up at David. “Have you really made up your mind?”


    “Of course,” David answered smoothly, but he still looked at Old Mrs. Jones with aplicated gaze.


    “It’s just that you’ve never told me how the engagement between the Johnson family and me came


    about.”


    Since he reached adulthood, David was aware that he was bound to a marriage contract, but the Jones


    family had been pretty vague about the origin of the marriage contract.


    As a result, over the years, David did not understand how the Johnson family in Seaxas was rted to


    the Jones family.


    It had to be known that the major families of Aureliana had always had an


    unwritten rule.


    They would not marry anyone outside the ind.


    This made him even more curious about the origin of this engagement.


    When Old Mrs. Jones heard his words, she was silent for a long time. It was so long that the


    surrounding servants thought that this was the calm before the storm. They could not help but tense up


    and wait quietly.


    After an unknown period of time, Old Mrs. Jones said, “Since you’ve decided to annul the engagement,


    why are you so obsessed with these things?”


    “It seems that you don’t know her identity,” David said.


    When Old Mrs. Jones heard this, her gaze on David suddenly became sharper, as if she wanted to see


    through his skin and see the depths of his soul.


    Suddenly, she chuckled. “Do you take me for one of those pedantic old fogeys?”


    There was a hint of mockery in her words.


    “Rumor has it that Seaxas’s richest family, the Johnson family, has a granddaughter with a differentst


    name. However, despite that, Old Mr. Johnson treats her as the apple of his eye.” David stood up and


    made another cup of coffee for Old Mrs. Jones. His deep eyes were filled with a bottomless gloom.


    He quietly observed Old Mrs. Jones’s expression. The corners of his mouth. curled up into a faint smile


    that carried a hint of mystery. “What a coincidence. This person turns out to be Rae–Rae.”


    This simple sentence was like a thunderp that exploded in Old Mrs. Jones’s heart.


    Her mind went nk for a moment, and her heart raced uncontrobly.


    She had been through a lot in life. Even though she was shocked, she did not show it on her face. She


    still looked calm and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes. “You secretly investigated her


    background?“
