Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 717

Chris had yet to see what had happened.

Rachel was already in front of Marina.

“Miss Grey!” Chris looked at Rachel in panic.

Was Rachel crazy?

It was fine if Rachel did not help, but she was actually rushing to die.

On the other hand, Marina did not think too much about it. Marina only felt that Rachel was trying to provoke her by rushing forward. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Marina grabbed Rachel’s neck and pressed her against the octagonal table. “Rachel, you’re courting death!”

As she spoke, Marina felt that holding Rachel’s neck with only one hand was not enough to vent her anger. She grabbed Rachel’s neck with both hands and wished she could break it.

At the same time, the door was kicked open from the outside.

Everyone could not help but gasp when they saw Marina grabbing Rachel’s neck with both

hands.

In this morning’s cabinet meeting, David announced Rachel’s identity in public and even directly said that Rachel would be the Jones family’s mistress. Not only did this break the unbearable rumors from the outsiders, but it was also a disguised warning to everyone. If they saw Rachel in the future, they had to be respectful.

However, in the blink of an eye, everyone saw Marina grabbing Rachel’s neck. The thought of wanting to strangle Rachel to death was written very bluntly on Marina’s face.

Not to mention the consequences of Marina ignoring David’s warning, just the crime of murdering the future mistress of the Jones family was enough for Marina to suffer.

Rachel’s face turned red. Her hand instinctively grabbed Marina’s wrist. Physical tears seeped out of the corners of her eyes. Her lips opened and closed as she said with difficulty, “Auntie Marina… There’s no enmity between us. Why are you always targeting me…”

At this moment, Marina’s mind was filled with thoughts of killing Rachel. She did not notice the noisy footsteps outside at all.

Everyone restrained the gloating smile in their eyes and looked at Old Mr. Jones, secretly sizing up the expression on his face.

There was no emotion on Old Mr. Jones’s face, but there was a terrifying aura lingering around him.

“Marina, let go!” Old Mr. Jones’s deep voice carried a deterrent force.

However, Marina was blinded by hatred and turned a deaf ear to Old Mr. Jones’s words.

Marina tightened her grip on Rachel’s neck. Her beautiful eyes were filled with hatred and excitement. “Rachel, since you want to destroy me, go to hell with me!”

When everyone heard this, they could not help but worry about Marina.

Bam!

With a gunshot, a bloody hole appeared on Marina’s shoulder.

Everyone turned around stiffly and saw David walking past them expressionlessly.

The intense pain made Marina suddenly let go. She held her shoulder with one hand and staggered back a few steps.

David grabbed Marina’s neck with a faint hostility in his eyes. “How dare you touch my woman? You’re really tired of living!”

David’s voice was nonchalant and cold, making everyone extremely scared.

Everyone had long heard of how ruthless David was. After all, David was a person who could even take action against his family. Now that they saw David holding Marina’s neck with one hand, they held their breaths.

In front of David, Marina was like a helpless little chick. Marina’s life and death were both in David’s hands.

The strong suffocation made Marina feel unprecedented panic. She turned her head with difficulty to look at Old Mr. Jones, who was standing not far away. Her lips moved as she said with difficulty, “Dad, save, save me…”

Old Mr. Jones frowned slightly. Finally, he could not bear it anymore and took a step forward. “David, let go!”

However, David did not let go. He even tightened his grip on Marina’s neck.

David looked at Old Mr. Jones and raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a provocative look.

Not only did this move make everyone realize that the current David was no longer the young man who needed Old Mr. Jones’s support when he first took over the position, but it also made everyone realize that the consequences of angering David would be even worse than Marina’s current situation.

Facing his blood-related aunt, David could even be so ruthless, let alone so-called relatives. who were not related by blood.

However, Noah, who was in the crowd, realized that the woman called Rachel was David’s bottom line. She could not be touched easily.

Unless one was prepared to die.

Seeing that David refused to let go, Old Mr. Jones sighed helplessly and gave the butler a meaningful look.

The butler instantly understood and left in a hurry.

When the butler turned back again, he was followed by a group of uniformed police officers.

“Everyone, please come in.” The butler looked at the police officers. “The person inside is the one you’re looking for.”

One police officer first compared the photo, then walked to Old Mr. Jones’s side and said respectfully, “Mr. Jones, we’re taking her away for an investigation now. I wonder if you can do us a favor?”

Old Mr. Jones glanced at Marina indifferently as if he was facing a stranger. He waved his hand and said, “Take her away.”

The moment Marina saw this group of people walking over, her eyes were filled with chaos.

It was unknown if it was due to panic or her survival instinct, but Marina endured the pain in her arm and clasped her hands together. She gathered all her strength and slammed it into the crook of David’s arm.

After Marina broke free, she took deep breaths.

At the same time, the police officers walked up to Marina. “Marina Jones, we suspect that you’re involved in a fraud case. Please come with us and cooperate with our investigation.”

The moment the cold handcuffs were pressed against her skin, Marina’s dizzy mind instantly sobered up.

“Without concrete evidence, what right do you have to arrest me?”

Marina was confident enough that everything she’d done over the years had gone unnoticed.

Therefore, Marina was certain that the group of people in front of her had no evidence. Originally, on account of Old Mr. Jones, the people from the supervisory bureau planned not to show the evidence. After all, they were in the Jones family now.

However, at this moment, Marina looked like she would not give up resistance until she saw the evidence. A hint of mockery flashed across the face of the person from the supervisory bureau. According to our investigation, you are suspected of illegally trading virtual currency. During the transaction, you are suspected of fraud and money-laundering. We have investigated the information of the exchange. As a legal person, you should be investigated. This is an arrest warrant. Please cooperate!”

Marina’s heart sank uncontrollably when she saw the words on the arrest warrant.

A year ago, in Aureliana, regulations prohibiting the trading of virtual currencies had been issued, but Marina had always known that this group of people was bluffing.

They issued all kinds of regulations and claimed to implement severe punishment, but they had never really taken action.

However, not only did they suddenly take action this time, but they also caught Marina off guard.

Seeing that Marina was no longer quibbling, the people from the supervisory bureau put handcuffs on her slender wrists.

Two uniformed police officers stood on either side of Marina and carried her out.

When Marina brushed past Rachel, she stopped in her tracks and glared at Rachel. “It’s you! Rachel you framed me behind my back, right?”
