Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 721

“Today’s show was indeed directed and acted by me, but I’m not doing it just for my own selfish motives.” Rachel was worried that the two of them would have a grudge because of this matter, so she explained patiently. “If I asked you to come forward, you naturally wouldn’t hesitate. It’s just that the timing today and the venue are not right. If you take action, not only will you be labeled as heartless, but the people of the Elders will also hold against you because of this.”

Therefore, this matter was most suitable for Rachel to do.

David stared at Rachel with his black eyes. “Do you think I care about this?”

“You don’t care.” Rachel held David’s hand, her charming eyes sparkling. “But I do care. I can’t change the past, but now that I’m right in front of you, how can I watch you bear the infamy? This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“This time, when you brought me back to Aureliana, everyone saw me as a thorn in their side. They even saw me as a weakness that they could use to manipulate you at will. However, not only can I be your weakness, but I can also be your armor.”

When things were going well, Rachel could snuggle up to David. In times of adversity, she could become the sharpest blade in David’s hand and fight side by side with him, ensuring that he would be invincible.

Rachel saw that David’s well-defined face seemed to be covered in a layer of ice. His dark eyes were like a bottomless cold lake. “You should trust me.”

David never cared about infamy, nor did he care about the opinions of others. Nothing in the world could compare to Rachel.

Rachel pursed her lips. She reached out and gently tugged at David’s hand. “I promise it won’t happen again…”

Before Rachel could finish speaking, David’s arm suddenly pulled her into his arms. His arm grabbed her slender waist, and his other

hand grabbed her chin, forcing her to raise her head to face him.

The man’s unique cold aura instantly enveloped her. Rachel held her breath slightly.

It was still the familiar cold wood fragrance, but at this moment, Rachel’s heart could not help but tighten.

David’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous dark light flickered in them. He bent down slightly and pressed his cold face against hers. His cold breath sprayed on her face. “Do you want to do it again?”

There were so many ways to take down Marina, but Rachel chose to hurt herself.

What did Rachel treat her life for?

If not for the arrival of the police officers, David could guarantee that the shot would not have hit Marina’s arm.

Sensing the terrifying aura around David, Rachel realized that David was indeed angry this time.

Different from his previous anger, his eyes were filled with a world-destroying viciousness, as if he was a Rakshasa who had walked out of the depths of hell on a pile of bones.

Rachel’s fingertips curled up slightly. “This is forced by the situation…”

“Heh!” David let out a cold laugh. The short laugh gave people the illusion that they were going to be killed. “You always have countless reasons to absolve yourself. Rachel, you really disappoint me.”

With that, David left.

Rachel subconsciously wanted to grab his hand, but before her fingertips could touch the corner of his clothes, David had already left quickly.

Rachel stood where she was and sighed wistfully.

It seemed like David was really angry.

Since Rachel had done it, she must be 100% confident.

Otherwise, Rachel would not risk her life.

Rachel knew that David didn’t care about being infamous, but her heart would ache.

In the past, David had no choice. Now that Rachel was by his side, how could she bear to let David be criticized?

At this moment, Chris walked in from outside.

Although David had left, Chris could still sense the tense atmosphere in the huge side hall that had yet to dissipate.

“Miss Grey.”

Rachel looked at Chris.

Chris handed Rachel a blue and white porcelain rouge box. “This is for blood circulation and stasis. The effect is very obvious.”

Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly. “Who gave it to you?”

Chris subconsciously blurted out, but when she thought of David’s instructions, she could only swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Seeing Chris’s hesitant look, Rachel understood.

Knowing that it was sent by David, Rachel did not hesitate.

Although Rachel was angry, she had no reason to not apply the ointment.

“Where did he go?” Rachel asked casually.

Chris was worried about what to say next. When Chris heard this, she hurriedly said, “Sir has gone out and won’t be coming back for the time being.”

Hearing this, Rachel stopped applying the ointment. “He won’t be coming back for the time being?”

Chris did not dare to look up and size up the expression on Rachel’s face. She only lowered her eyes and nodded.

Rachel frowned slightly.

David actually left just like that?

David left Rachel here alone?

Rachel took a deep breath and threw the cotton swab in her hand into the trash can. “Then let’s pack up and leave.”

“But there’s still a family banquet later,” Chris said. “Just now, Mr. Jones specially sent someone to ask you to attend, Miss Grey.”

Chris sized up the expression on Rachel’s face. When Chris saw that Rachel was frowning slightly, she quickly explained, “Sir just left for something at the last minute. He might be back from the family banquet. If he sees that you’re not around, he’ll inevitably be worried.”

When Rachel heard Chris’s words, her gloomy expression improved a little. “Alright.”

Hearing this, Chris secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

The two of them falling out with each other was really hard on them as subordinates.

Not only did they have to work, but they also have to help David and Rachel to mediate the conflict.

The next second, Rachel stood up and left.

Chris quickly came back to her senses and asked subconsciously, “Miss Grey, are you going out?”

“I want to get some fresh air,” Rachel said. “It’s still early. Do you know what’s so fun around here?”

If Rachel stayed in her room alone, it was inevitable that she would let her imagination run wild.

Rachel might as well find something for herself to do.

Chris frowned slightly and pondered seriously for a moment, “There’s a hot spring at the back of the mountain. I heard that it has. been hundred years and is drawn down from the dragon vein. behind the old residence. It’s said to have the effect of curing all diseases.”

David had also mentioned the hot spring to Rachel, but he did not mention that it had the effect of curing all diseases.

Now that Chris mentioned it, Rachel was indeed interested.

However, Rachel had more important things to do now.

“Prepare a car for me,” Rachel said calmly.

Chris was stunned for a moment before replying, “Yes!”

The two of them walked out of the courtyard and went straight to the weeping flower door. Coincidentally, they bumped into Noah, who was walking over from the corridor.

“Miss Grey.” When Noah saw Rachel, his attitude was as humble and respectful as when he saw Rachel at the resort villa on the affiliated island.

Noah did not show any disrespect just because Rachel did not have David by her side.

Rachel smiled. “Hello.”

“Miss Grey, are you going out?” Noah asked.

Rachel said in neither servile nor overbearing manner, “I have nothing to do and want to go out to take a breather.”

Noah nodded. “It’s a pity that I have something important to do and have to go out. Otherwise, I would have brought you around to familiarize myself with the surroundings, Miss Grey.”

“Thank you,” Rachel said. “Since you have something important to do, I won’t delay your time any further.”

“Okay.
