During the opening ceremony, there were speeches by representatives and congrattory messages
from the sponsors announcing the official opening of the Real Estate Summit. The entire process took
more than an hour.
Just as everyone looked tired and annoyed, Noah announced another exciting piece of news.
The Real Estate Summit would select interested parties from different development routes and support
them with resources and funding.
These parties would be appointed as advanced enterprises and individuals, and be a member of
the Chamber of Commerce.
This was not only an honor for thepany, but also a supreme honor for the individual.
Compared to everyone’s excitement, Rachel remained calm as if nothing could stir up too many waves
in her heart.
During the break, Rachel sat in an armchair with her legs crossed and looked down at her phone.
She slowly looked up when she heard the footsteps in front of her.
The woman looked to be about twenty–five years old. Under her bangs. was a pair of pure ck and
white round eyes. There was a hint of innocence and harmlessness in her eyes.
She was wearing a rose–red dress with a velvet texture and a fluffy hem. She looked a little cute like a
princess.
To be precise, she looked like an exquisite doll.
“Miss Grey.” At this moment, a voice rang out from the side.
-Rachel looked sideways and saw Noah appear in front of her. Her gaze
could not help but darken.
Noah wore a suit, whichplemented his refined temperament.
There was a gentle and humble smile on his face, just like when Rachel saw him at the holiday vi.
He looked down at Rachel and said calmly, “I wonder if it’s convenient

for you to talk to me alone?”
Rachel nced at the message on her phone. She locked her phone and looked up at him. The
corners of her lips curled up slightly. “What do you want to talk to me about?”
Noah stared at her with his bottomless ck eyes without blinking. Even though he had a faint smile on
his face, it could not hide the sharpness in his eyes. “You seem very hostile toward me.”
Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly and asked casually, “What makes you think that?”
“Whether it’s true or not, I still hope that you can put down your
prejudice against me.” Noah smiled calmly and said, “Actually, I’m very optimistic about your ability. I
also hope that we can have a happy cooperation.
“I believe that you’ve understood what the announcement at the opening ceremony means. As the
deputy manager of the Real Estate Summit, I wonder if you’re interested in joining us?”
“Join them?” Rachel thought.
Rachel lowered her gaze to hide the fleeting mockery in her eyes. She ced her arm on the armrest
of the sofa and supported her forehead with her fingers. She said calmly, “I might have to disappoint
you. I’m a cold person. I’m used to fighting alone. It’s not suitable teaming up with
me.”
P
“Fighting alone is a good way to keep yourself safe, but how far can a person really ignore their
surroundings?” Noah’s gaze was fixed on Rachel’s face, unwilling to let go of the slightest change in
her expression. “The Johnson family’s position in Seaxas is unshakeable, but some things can only be
changed with time. Nothing can withstand change, right? Or do you feel that you can rest easy just by
allying yourself with the Jones family?”
His tone was calm, like an elder trying to persuade a junior, but his every word was filled with mockery.
In his eyes, the Johnson family was not worth mentioning even though it was the richest family in
Seaxas. Meanwhile, Rachel was just a woman who relied on men to survive. Without David Jones, she
was nothing.

Hearing this, Rachel’s eyes flickered.

She slowly raised her head and looked at Noah.
Noah was still in a gentle and refined posture as if the mockery he had said to Rachel was just her
malicious spection. “Miss Grey, I’ve been there before. I’ll give you some advice on ount of your
youth.
“It might look like victory is in your hands now that you’re with the head of the Jones family, but that’s
not the case. The head of the Jones family has a deep foundation, and the main family and the branch
family are intertwined. If you want to be with the head of the Jones family, you have to face not only the
main family’s test but also that of the branch family.
“In their eyes, the way David took his position was not honorable. They have been eyeing him
covetously and trying to pull him down. How can he protect you if one day he can’t even protect
himself?
“I heard that the Johnson family ran into some trouble a few days ago. Your uncle Tom was framed. He
has held a high position all these years, but so what? Sometimes, some things can’t be solved by
fighting alone.”
Rachel patiently listened to Noah’s long speech and nced at him expressionlessly. “So?”
Upon hearing this, the smile on Noah’s face froze.
He thought, “I’ve been talking for so long, but she did not listen to a single word I said.
“Perhaps she’s pretending to be dumb.
“Previously, when Tom was in trouble, the Johnson family would probably be in a panic now if not for
David’s help, How could she still have the mood to participate in this Real Estate Summit?
“Maybe…”
A dark andplicated light shed across Noah’s eyes. “Miss Grey, you’re a smart person. You
should know that sometimes, things are not as -simple as they seem.
“Why do you think the summit was brought forward? Why did the original address change to Titia? Do
you really think I’m that capable?”
Although he did not explicitly point out that it was David, these confusing questions were enough to
direct all the me on him.
Rachel thought, “Is he trying to sow discord after failing in his lobbying?”
Rachel could not help but yawn. She said with a perfunctory expression, “Mr. Jones, are you done?”
Noah frowned and took a deep breath. “Miss Grey, I’ve said everything I need to say. I hope you can
consider it carefully.”
“Thank you for your trouble.” With that, Rachel stood up and left.
Perhaps it was because she was in too much of a hurry, or perhaps she was affected by Noah’s
sowing of discord, but when she turned around, she bumped into a woman walking toward her.
The woman staggered from the impact, and the coffee in her hand spilled all over her. “Are you blind?”
“I’m sorry,” Rachel apologized sincerely.
The woman sneered. “What’s the use of the police if an apology is useful? Tell me, how do you n to
compensate me?”
Her arrogant attitude and tone instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
Rachel said, “If you don’t mind, I canpensate you ording to the price of the clothes.”
“Compensate ording to the price of the clothes?” The woman sneered. “Do you think that I, the heir
of the Skysgate Group,ck money?”
