“Ha!” Thomas let out a lowugh. He yed with the lighter with his fingertips. Thomas curled his long
and narrow eyes slightly, revealing a hint of flirtatiousness. “ording to what you said, Miss Grey is
such a capable person.”
Landon lit the cigarette and took a puff. He said casually, “She’s very capable.”
To be able to make David, who had always been calm and steady, go crazy like this, Rachel must be
really capable.
Judging from all the things that had happened, Rachel was nothing like a pampered and useless rich
girl.
“The person from the Clifford family met Rachel yesterday?” Jimmy changed the topic at the right time.
“That person is famous for her difficult personality. Did she not y any tricks?”
When Thomas heard this, he curled his lips and put on a meaningful smile. “Although she didn’t y
any tricks now, there’s no guarantee that she won’t go behind our backs.”
Among the big families in Aureliana, the most special one was the Clifford family.
It was not that the Clifford family had a prominent status, but that the Clifford family was the only family
with a female. lineage.
Moreover, every head of the Clifford family was a woman.
The Clifford family girl that they were talking about was the sessor of the family head that Old Ms.
Clifford had personally designated.
Due to the rtionship between the Jones family and the Clifford family, there had always been rumors
that Jennifer Clifford would be the future mistress of the Jones family.

The rumors had be more and more vivid over the years. However, David suddenly came back
with Rachel by his side.
The rumors broke instantly. For a moment, there were all kinds of sayings.
Coupled with the fact that David had openly snat ched Jennifer’s thingsst night to help Rachel vent
her anger, the gossip was going crazy.
“To be honest, with the Clifford girl’s temper, she will definitely find a way to seek revenge after David
made her unhappy and the topic of discussionst night.” Jimmy held a watch and wipedthe dial
repeatedly. “At Old Mr. Jones’ birthday banquetst year, she even dared to attack the daughter of an
aristocratic family that was close to the Clifford family. I heard that that woman has gone crazy and has
been in a men tal hospital all year round.
“No one knows what she did. The Clifford family only paid a sum of money aspensation in the
end.” When they talked about this, the three of them didn’t show any emotional fluctuations.
They had fought their way up to get the position of family heir. To be in their positions, they no longer
knew what it was like to feel pity.
“In your opinion…” Thomas looked up at Jimmy.
“Naturally, I’m giving you this good opportunity to redeem. yourself.” Jimmy smiled. “With the Clifford
family’s previous deeds, she might not let it go easily. She might attack Rachel. If you discover
anything, that’s your opportunity to contribute.”
Thomas raised his eyebrows slightly. Seeing the watch in Jimmy’s hand, Thomas frowned slightly.
“When did your taste be so vulgar?”
“That watch of his is also a limited edition,” Landon said meaningfully.
As they spoke, Rachel and David came downstairs.
A few people chatted. Rachel was more like a loyal listener. However, Rachel drooped her eyeszily.
She looked listless and uninterested in anything. At this moment, Yann walked over and bent down
slightly. Yann leaned over to David and whispered, “Sir, there’s news from the old residence. They said
that they’re holding a family banquet and specially invited you to go with Miss Grey.” As soon as Yann
finished speaking, the expressions on everyone’s faces changed slightly. They looked at David with
intriguing gazes. David lowered his eyes and responded indifferently. After Yann left, the impatient
Jimmy spoke first. “David, are you really nning to bring Rachel to the banquet?” The Jones family
was not an ordinary family. The so-called family banquet was more like a trap. Although Rachel was not
weak, in order to avoid any idents, it was safest to expose Rachel’s existenceter.
After all, the Jones family had all kinds of ruthless means. They would find a way to get Rachel
eventually.
Rachel, who had been silent all this while, suddenly asked, “Why don’t I go?”
Rachel sat up slightly and perked up. “This is a good opportunity to introduce me to them
openly.”Hearing this, the three people sitting opposite fell silent. A hint of contempt shed across Tho
ma s’s eyes. Rachel was getting more and more arrogant. Rachel should know better.
The Jones family was basically a wolf’s den. The way Rachel was rushing into the Jones family was no
different than courting death. “Rachel, it’s actually…” Jimmy wanted to talk Rachel out of it, but before
Jimmy could finish, David suddenly said, “If you want to go, we will go. I will protect you no matter
what.” Hearing this, Jimmy could not help but curse in his heart. F**k! They had lost their da mn minds!
Jimmy pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Landon. They had known
David for many years and knew David’s temper very well. No one could change David’s decision
except himself. Thirty minutester, Rachel returned to her room and changed her clothes. Rachel
chose a well-tailored suit. Rachel wore a striped two-piece zer with a pair of ck wide-legged
pants.
Rachel’s outfit was neither rigid nor too casual.
Rachel tied her soft long hair behind her head, and a wisp of hair hung down from her forehead. Rachel
looked elegant and gentle.
“I’m done. Let’s go.” Rachel walked out of the changing room and stood in front of David confidently.
David hung up the phone and turned around. The moment David saw Rachel, the coldness in David’s
eyes disappeared and was reced by gentleness.
When David and Rachel walked down the stairs, Billy and Chris
turned their heads in unison.
The two of them were slightly stunned.
The woman’s slender and tall figure was slightly thin, but when
she walked with David, she looked no inferior. They surprisingly matched each other.
When Vulture, who was standing upstairs, saw this scene, an indescribable bitterness surged in his
heart.”
Indeed, the things he missed were no longer his.
“Hey!” Vulture looked at Rachel’s departing figure and suddenly called out to her.
Rachel stopped in her tracks and turned around.
Vulture threw something at Rachel.
Before Rachel could see clearly, she caught it instinctively.
“It’s a gift I prepared for you. It’s the most suitable gift for you now.” Vulture looked at Rachel, and his
eyes revealed a hint of gentleness. “Take it for self-defense. The Jones family is not a good or safe
ce. Be more careful.”
It was a golden version of the Desert’s Eagle.
Rachel looked down at the gun Vulture handed her and smiled. “Don’t worry.”
With that, Rachel turned around and left.
