Rachel instantly calmed down and regained her composure. There was a dark, menacing glint in her
eyes. Her dead stare could easily pierce through a person’s chest.
Het emotionless tone made her look even more intimidating.
Hans was taken aback by her threatening pose. He stood stunned on the spot and gradually let go of
her hand subconsciously
Rachel immediately wrenched her hand free once she felt his grip loosening Without saying a word,
she turned around and
left
Hans stood where he was and watched as Rachel left him behind. He squinted his eyes, and a flicker
of darkness rose in the depths of his eyes
His daughter had always been obedient and sensible since she was little. She hardly caused trouble
and was a breeze to take
cate of
However, being too sensible might make one seem weak and an east target to bully. Rachel finally
learned how to be firm. and decisive. Unfortunately, she had also emerged from her father’s shadow
and no longer listened to him.
Hans hoped that Rachel would behave sensibly tonight. Else, he might do something drastic to make
her listen to him.
After Rachel shook free from Hans, she slowly approached Lucas Miriam caught sight of her first.
Miriam walked up to Rachel happily “Rae-Rac, you’re here too.”
Miriam was intamiliar with Seaxas, and she did not know anyone at the banquet. Hence, she was
bored to death.
Fortunately, Rachel was there!
Rachel broke into a smile. She glanced at Miriam’s and Lucas’s outhts, and straight away, Rachel could
tell that a lot of thought had gone into designing them.
Take the color of Lucas’s pocket square and the pattern on his tie. They complemented the designs on
Miriam’s dress.
Their outfits might look unassuming, but they were actually a low-key couple’s outfit.
Of course, who would have thought of this ingenuity other than Miriam?
There was no way a dull man like Lucas understood how it worked. He probably did not even notice the
details when he put
on the suit
When I ucas, who was talking to someone, heard Rachel’s voice, he ended his conversation
apologetically. “Sorry, please
excuse me.”
After he said that, he turned around and stood beside Rachel. “Why are you here?”
“You are here, why can’t I Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly.
Lucas did not mind Rachel’s presence. Rather, he was concerned about her, as the bidding might be
an intricate affair.
Heavyweights from all over the place has gathered there. From the political world to the business world
and even the underground forces. Everyone had unsurmountable authority and deep financial
resources. People of diverse backgrounds were there, from the best to the worst. Lucas did not want
Rachel to come in contact with them.
His gaze darted around the banquet hall as if looking for someone. “Where’s David?”
“He’s probably busy with something.” Rachel said nonchalantly.
Lucas frowned imperceptibly upon hearing what Rachel said. He did not concur with David’s actions.
He was about to say something when a small commotion broke out in the lobby.
Everyone turned around and saw Old Mr. Johnson walking in through the door.
Beside Old Mr. Johnson stood the patriarchs of the Shain, Page, and Green families.
Seaxas’s Four Families had a reputation and were well-known. No one was surprised by their
appearance.
Everyone greeted Old Mr. Johnson respectfully, and he kindly acknowledged them. When he saw
Rachel, however, he was
startled
Old Mr. Johnson had not mentioned the bidding to Rachel because he did not want her to get involved
in this kind of dealing. Else, she still showed up there.
Without giving Rachel a chance to explain, Lucas said sarcastically, “Who else could it be other than
that person!” Although no names were mentioned, Old Mr. Johnson knew who Lucas was talking about.
His expression became stern, and he looked at Rachel pensively. Old Mr. Johnson heaved a long sigh
and instructed her
solemnly, “Rae-Rae, stay with me later.”
Before he could finish speaking, there was another commotion at the stairs.
Everyone’s attention was instantly directed toward the second level of the building.
Under the bright chandelier lights, five men, with David in the lead, walked down the stairs slowly from
the second floor.
Behind David were Ronnie, a man with a scar on his face, and two other men in their thirties.
Lucas, standing beside Rachel, leaned forward slightly and explained, “The man with the scar on his
face works for Yandel. The other two on the left are Che from Elderville and Daniel from Somerville,
respectively. Those two are influential people in both the business and underworld’
Rachel seemed to understand something from Lucas’s explanation.
At the same time, their surroundings seemed to get rowdy and louder.
“That’s David Jones? The head of the Jones family from Aureliana?”
“I thought he has always kept a low profile and rarely appears in public. Why is it different this year?
Could the rumors be
truc
“Looks like this year’s bidding will be more intense than the previous years.”
Someone in the crowd said, “Mr. Jones is indeed a rare talent. It will be an utmost honor for the family
whose daughter he fancies.”
With that said, the topic of the discussion took a quick turn.
From David’s private life to their single daughters. The rich people secretly pitted each other on whose
daughter was better suited for David.
Rachel heard their conversations, and she frowned slightly.
It was awkward to be hearing people fighting over her David.
Miriam seemed to have sensed something. She could not resist but whispered in Rachel’s ear, “Are
you jealous, Rachel?”
Rachel turned around and caught Miriam’s teasing gaze. She leaned over and whispered back.
Wouldn’t you be jealous if they were talking about Lucas?
“Maybe we can use someone else as an analogy, Miriam muttered softly.
Rachel could not help but giggle. She gave Miriam a teasing shoulder bump. “You know me best.”
Miriam’s eyes sparkled with excitement and joy after hearing that.
It did not matter if Rachel meant that or if she only said that to patronize Miriam. It was the highest
compliment Miriam could receive.
She was a stranger in Seaxas with no relatives or friends. Hence, she felt extremely proud to be
praised by Rachel.
Perhaps both of them were about the same age, and they had similar personalities. They hit it off right
away since they met and had a lot of common topics,
Then someone spoke behind them, “Miss Grey, long time no see.”
Rachel heard her name and turned around. Zion was standing behind her, wearing a black suit.
“Mr. Summers.” Rachel smiled. Though subtle, her smile was restrained and not as bright as before.
Zion was an attentive person, so he noticed the slight difference in her smile. However, he pretended
not to know. He passed the sparkling wine in his hand to Rachel. “The fruit wine you are drinking can
make you drunk. Why don’t you drink sparkling wine instead?”
Rachel took a look at his drink but did not take it.
“Miss Grey, we are old acquaintances. Moreover, Lucas is here. You still don’t trust me?” Zion asked.
