Yann and the others were investigating this matter and were currently screening the leads one by one.
Rachel’s gaze flickered slightly as she said, “I casually asked a friend.”
David lifted his eyebrows slightly when he heard her explanation. His thin lips curled into a faint smile
as he said meaningfully, “You really are impressing me more and more.”
David caressed Rachel’s earlobes with his fingers, rubbing them lightly with his rough fingertips. His
deep and magnetic voice slowly drifted into Rachel’s ears. “You’ve done me such a large favor. How
can I repay you?”
Rachel’s body could not help but tense up when she felt the man’s long and flexible fingers caress her
sensitive ears. She replied, “I don’t need repayment for small favors like that.”
“There’s a saying in Aureliana that says to repay small favors with many times the gratitude.”
“If you really want to thank me, then please protect me well.” Rachel pushed David’s hand away and
said, sounding unhappy. “After all, I am new here and I am not familiar with the people and places of
Aureliana. It’s not as peaceful here as in Seaxas either.”
She was deliberately teasing David with the words Georgia said earlier.
Rachel didn’t consider herself a magnanimous person. She was very petty and had a strong sense of
revenge.
Moreover, she could also sense Georgia’s hostility toward her from her words.
Since that was the case, she didn’t need to pretend to be a respectable and magnanimous woman.
David looked at her with a doting and indulgent gaze. “Why care about what a stranger said?”
He pulled up her chin with his fingertips and leaned down to place a gentle kiss on her lips.
“Stranger?” Rachel looked at him with a fake smile.
“There are only two types of women in my eyes. David stood up, circled the rattan chair, and stopped in
front of Rachel. He continued, “The first is Rachel Grey, and the other is a total stranger.”
“Were you always so wise?”
“Every man has to go through a lesson in masculine virtue.”
Rachel smiled when she heard those words.
David held her hand. “There’s a party tonight. Shall we go together?”
Rachel looked at their entwined fingers. She did not respond to David’s question.
She knew that she would have to meet David’s family and friends before she came.
However, both Thomas Bowes and Georgia Walker had made it clear that they were testing and
probing her.
Georgia even had an added hostility that Thomas didn’t have.
-She probably felt that Rachel wasn’t good enough for David.
Seeing that Rachel remained silent, David looked up and asked, “Don’t you want to go?”
“I do,” Rachel replied with a faint smile. “After all, they’re your friends.”
If they weren’t David’s friends, Rachel wouldn’t have cared about them.
In the evening, six Rolls-Royces and two limited-edition sports cars drove out of the Peckham Palace.
Jimmy drove a pink sports car and, after honking at Landon, suddenly sped up like a runaway horse.
Landon followed the Rolls-Royce motorcade at a leisurely pace,
He glanced nonchalantly at Georgia, who was sitting in the passenger seat. “You went too far today.”
Georgia didn’t say anything. However, she blinked her eyes, looking puzzled.
Landon did not give her a chance to feign ignorance and warned her in a cold tone, “I don’t care where
your hostility toward Rachel comes from, but I advise you not to constantly find faults with her.”
“Am I constantly finding faults with her?” Georgia chuckled. “I just chatted with her for a bit. Besides, I
was just giving her some advice based on facts.”
“Don’t you see how much David cares about her?” Landon’s brow furrowed slightly. “I don’t care what
you plan to do, but you’d better not think about doing anything to her. Otherwise, you’ll be the one who
suffers in the end!”
He had seen firsthand how much David valued Rachel during his time in Seaxas.
However, Georgia didn’t take his advice seriously at all. “It’s because he values her that I need to help
him at this crucial moment! Others don’t know what David has been through these years, but you
should know. You and David have been good friends for many years, yet you just let him walk down the
road to ruin like this!
“Rumors of David having a woman outside had already spread a month ago. The Elders sent people to
investigate, but there was always no news. Isn’t he proving the rumors true and giving people a chance
to harm him by openly bringing the woman back?
“I admit that in terms of looks, Rachel is far superior to the lady from the Clifford family. But what’s the
use of beauty? She’s just an ornament that’s only good for decoration and not practical for anything
else. There’s no way that she can go through thick and thin with David!”
Upon hearing this, Landon let out a light laugh. His eyes narrowed and his gaze was sharp as a knife
as he looked directly at Georgia. “Are you sure that what you just said is a calm analysis and not
something to hide your personal motives?”
Georgia’s heart tightened, her eyelashes trembling slightly as she looked down at her fingernails. She
said, “It’s not strange for me to like a man as excellent as David.
“And besides, even if I have feelings for David, it’s completely separate from any hostility I may have
toward Rachel.”
She admitted to being slightly jealous of Rachel, but she wouldn’t stoop so low as to use such
underhanded tactics.
David wouldn’t even give her the time of day if her intentions were impure, even if she was Landon’s
sister.
“I hope you’re telling the truth,” Landon said, his coldness receding slightly.
Georgia raised her chin, looking at him with a frank expression.
“Of course I am.”
As Georgia had said, it wasn’t surprising for any woman to be drawn to a man as outstanding as David.
However, since David had chosen Rachel, Landon wouldn’t allow anyone to harm her, not even
Georgia.
As her older brother, Landon had said all that needed to be said. The rest was up to Georgia.
-Hopefully, she would make a wise decision.
The lights of the Entertainment Center shone brightly in the night.
Rachel, David, Jimmy, and the Walker siblings walked into the restaurant together.
The observatory restaurant was located on the 32nd floor of the Entertainment Center. Standing by the
window, one could overlook the most bustling area of the city.
As the owner of the Entertainment Center, Jimmy was very generous. He had booked the entire
restaurant for tonight.
A waiter in uniform walked up respectfully and asked, “Mr. Shain, would you like to place your order
now?”
Jimmy glanced at his watch. “Tell the kitchen to start preparation.”
He handed the menu to Rachel. “Rachel, take a look and see if there’s anything you like.”
“I don’t have any dietary restrictions.” Rachel politely declined Jimmy’s offer.
David poured her a glass of warm water and leaned in close to her car as he handed it to her. “No
dietary restrictions?” he whispered.
