Rachel lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. Her hands on her knees suddenly clenched into fists.
After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath and smiled. “Got it, Grandpa.”
“Do you want to open the box and see what’s inside?” Old Mr. Johnson took a sip of coffee and looked
at Rachel.
“It’s just a diamond…” Rachel blurted out without any hesitation.
After saying that, she secretly bit her tongue.
It was over. She couldn’t hide her relationship with David anymore!
However, Old Mr. Johnson did not pursue the matter. “Aren’t you curious about the origin of the
engagement at all?”
Rachel looked at Old Mr. Johnson. “Why haven’t I heard of it before?”
“I don’t know the exact origin of this marriage,” Old Mr. Johnson said. “To be honest, I’ve never thought
that the Jones family would come to me with the token one day.”
The Jones family didn’t contact him all those years. He even thought that the Jones family had long
forgotten about this marriage.
“Rae–Rae, as long as you are unwilling, even if you have to sacrifice the entire Johnson family, I will
help you destroy this marriage,” Old Mr. Johnson said calmly.
His words were filled with unquestionable determination.
Rachel sensed the determination in Old Mr. Johnson’s eyes. Her almond–shaped eyes were puzzled.
“Do you want me to propose breaking off the engagement?”
“What era is it now? It’s no longer the era of prenatal marriage.” Old Mr. Johnson held her hand and
patted it earnestly. “Rae–Rae, this marriage is not suitable for you.”
After saying that, Rachel did not respond for a long time.
She asked herself honestly. She actually liked this marriage.
So she didn’t want to break off the engagement.
Old Mr. Johnson seemed to have seen through her thoughts and did not say anything else.
The two of them sat at Joyce’s for a moment before getting up to leave.
When they left, Old Mr. Johnson talked about the Chamber of Commerce that would be coming soon. “I
know you don’t like to go through the motions, but the Chamber of Commerce this time involves a lot of
benefits. We have to deal with it.”
“I understand. I’ll get ready then.” Rachel held Old Mr. Johnson’s arm and carefully walked down the
steps.
“There’s nothing much to prepare. It’s just a formality. You’ve seen the people from the remaining
families,” Old Mr. Johnson said. “Even if it’s for my sake, they won’t make things difficult for you. Don’t
think that I’m long–winded. I let you participate in this Chamber of Commerce to let you appear openly.
Besides, I can help you expand your connections.
“In the past, you hid your identity. The outside world didn’t know your identity. Now that you’ve grown
up and have the ability to take charge, it’s time for them to see our Rae–Rae’s glory. The other families
have a pivotal position in Seaxas. If you can really form a deep friendship with them, it will become a
bargaining chip for you to turn the tide in the future. Do you understand?”
Whether it was in business or in private, having more connections was another way out.
Rachel had to be prepared.
Rachel smiled. “I understand your intentions.”
However, she did not understand why her maternal grandfather suddenly wanted to pave the way for
her.
Could it be because of David’s sudden engagement?
However, Rachel felt that she needed to have a good chat with David about the origin of the
engagement.
David was really mean. He had actually hidden it from her for so long!
As Rachel and Old Mr. Johnson’s figures gradually disappeared, Old Mr. Smith slowly walked out from
behind the rockery and plants.
After the two of them left, the butler observed the expression on Old Mr.
Smith’s face.
Old Mr. Smith stood rooted to the ground in shock, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
“Mr. Smith…” The butler’s eyes revealed a hint of worry.
Old Mr. Smith suddenly came back to his senses and looked at him deeply. “Let’s go home!”
Old Mr. Smith returned to the Smith family.
Louis had been waiting in the living room for a long time. When he saw Old Mr. Smith return, he quickly
stood up. “Grandpa, do you suddenly call me back because the matter has been resolved?”
He was referring to Old Mr. Smith personally asking Rachel to delete the recording.
Old Mr. Smith pursed his lips. He walked to the armchair and sat down. After instructing the others to
leave, he said, “Let me ask you. What’s the relationship between Rachel and the Johnson family?”
“The Johnson family?” Louis frowned slightly. His handsome face gradually turned solemn. “Do you still
suspect that Rachel is from the Johnson family?”
In the entire Seaxas, the only family who could make people tremble in fear was the richest Johnson
family.
However, Louis had investigated Rachel and the Johnson family in private and did not find any
connection between them.
Although Rachel’s identity and background were becoming more and more confusing, he did not think
that the Johnson family had anything. to do with Rachel.
Old Mr. Smith stared at him for a moment and told Louis what he had seen and heard.
“I have a feeling that things are not as simple as we think. Perhaps she has been hiding her true
intentions since she came to the Smith family at the beginning,” Old Mr. Smith said. “Investigate Rachel
again. We can’t let our guard down.”
Louis nodded. “I understand.”
He paused for a moment. “About the recording…”
“She refused to agree.” Old Mr. Smith sighed faintly. “At the end of the day, it’s all Jane’s fault for
overestimating herself. Rachel had something on Jane all of a sudden.”
