SWNOVELS Chapter 842
Chapter 842
Listening to his laughter, Mr. Smith’s heart tightened and goosebumps appeared on his back. “Dad, are you alright?”
Old Mr. Smith was immersed in his own world and did not hear him at all.
Mrs. Smith’s eyes were filled with fear when she saw Old Mr. Smith laughing. She got up and quickly walked to Mr. Smith’s side.
She reached out and pulled his sleeve. “Could Dad have gone crazy from the shock?”
“What are you talking about?” Mr. Smith shook off her hand and walked to Old Mr. Smith’s side. “Dad, haven’t you been teaching
us that there’s always a way out? There might be a way out of this matter.”
There was still room for negotiation....
Could it be that Old Mr. Smith did not want any room for negotiation?
However, he knew very well that the Johnson family was clearly not planning to leave the Smith family a way out!
He had led the Smith family through many obstacles all these years. He had finally made a name for himself in Seaxas and
entered the upper-class circle, but he had no choice but to retire at the most critical moment because of his illness. He could not
count on his children. so he chose the most suitable person among his grandchildren and personally trained
him.
However, everything he had worked so hard for when he was young was now ruined by the successor he had personally
trained
Was this the fate of the Smith family? Or was fate playing tricks on him?
Old Mr. Smith felt as if his heart was stuffed with a ball of cotton. His heart ached so much that it was difficult to breathe.
He sighed deeply, completely losing his usual energy. He slowly got up and muttered softly, “There will be a way out when the
time comes. Is there still a way out of the Smith family now?”
Hearing this, everyone in the room could not help but fall silent.
Now that the Smith family had been blacklisted by Johnson Corporation, and the Johnson family explicitly said that whoever
cooperated with the Smith family was an enemy of the Johnson family. It was clearly cutting off the Smith family’s way out.
They were afraid that the Smith family was really done for this time.
Thinking of this, Old Mr. Smith slowly turned around and left with his walking stick.
His back was hunched, as if he had aged a lot in an instant.
After taking two steps, he suddenly lost his conscience and fainted.
‘Dad...
“Grandpa!”
Old Mr. Smith lay unconscious on the ground. His lips were purple, and he seemed to be in shock.
The scene instantly became chaotic. The entire family surrounded Old Mr. Smith.
Louis still had a trace of rationality. He immediately took out his phone and called the ambulance, giving the address.
Compared to the chaos on the Smith family’s side, the banquet was coming to an end.
Rachel was prepared to return to Johnson’s Mansion tonight.
In front of the parking lot, David held her slightly cold fingertips and pressed her hand to his chest. “Won’t you go back to the
Sandalwood Hills these few days?”
Rachel nodded. “You’ve been busy recently, so I won’t disturb you.”
“You’re not disturbing me,” David said as he brought her hand to his lips and kissed it.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Rachel’s eyes. “Why didn’t I hear you say that Grandma was coming to the Johnson
family? Could it be that you decided at the last minute?”
It was as if he had suddenly announced their relationship at the banquet.
It was not only to announce his sovereignty and shattered the other men’s wishful thinking, but also to force Grandpa to accept
this marriage.
David’s eyes were filled with a faint gentle light. He reached out his well-defined fingers and stroked her jawline. His low voice
carried a hint of gentleness. “I decided long before I left for Aureliana. I didn’t tell you because I was worried that you would be
under pressure.”
Rachel nodded. “Although I agreed to marry you, isn’t our progress too fast? I think it’s so easy for me to marry you just like that
“Is it fast?” David raised his eyebrows slightly. “When you marry me, I’ll accept any torture you want.”
Rachel was worried that Grandpa would wait too long. After exchanging a few words with David, she turned around and got into
the car.
She opened the car door and bent down to get into the car. Coincidentally, she met her grandfather’s meaningful gaze. Rachel
felt that her grandfather had something to tell her. “Grandpa, is there anything you want to tell me?”
Old Mr. Johnson pursed his lips and cleared his throat. “Have you really thought it through?”
As long as Rachel went back on her word, he would even risk his life and the Johnson family to protect Rachel.
Rachel nodded. I’ve thought it through.
Upon hearing this, the light in Old Mr. Johnson’s eyes gradually dimmed. He rubbed his dragon-headed walking stick with both
hands and did not say anything.
“Grandpa, what are you worried about?” Rachel asked,
Old Mr. Johnson stared at her with dark eyes. After a long while, he let out a long sigh of relief. “You’re really like your mother.
You’re very stubborn and won’t stop until you suffer a setback.”
“This means that we’re biological mother and daughter” Rachel leaned on his shoulder. Her cold tone carried a hint of
coquettishness. “Grandpa, can you tell me about Mommy when she was young?”
Since her mother’s death, her grandfather had not said a word about her mother.
Even in the Johnson family, the name of Sophila had become a taboo existence.
Now that Old Mr. Johnson mentioned it, Rachel suddenly wanted to know more about her mother.
This was because she realized that her memories of her mother were getting fainter and fainter. She was really about to
completely forget her mother.
“What’s there to say?” Old Mr. Johnson turned to look at the lonely night outside the window. His eyes flickered with a dark and
complicated expression as he said unhurriedly. “She just fell in love with someone she shouldn’t have loved and ended up with a
bad ending. Everything was her choice.
Hearing this, Rachel frowned imperceptibly.
Although it was just a simple sentence, she sensitively sensed the resentment Old Mr. Johnson had toward Sophia.
It seemed that Grandpa’s attitude toward Hans was so bad because Hans did not treat Sophia well.
The car sped all the way and finally drove into Residence the Johnson’s Mansion.
After Rachel returned to her room, a message from Miriam suddenly popped up on her phone. [I’m going to the bridal shop to try
on the wedding dress tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?]
She hesitated for half a second before replying. [Okay.]
The next morning. Rachel packed up early and went out with Miriam to choose a wedding dress.
The wedding dress Miriam was trying on was a custom-made one from Galial ahav. Lucas was always busy, so Miriam had to
choose the wedding dress herself. However, with Rachel accompanying her this time, her mood changed.
When Miriam tried it on, Rachel had been sitting in the VIP area waiting patiently.
“Miss, if you like it, you can try it on.” The shop assistant warmly welcomed Rachel, especially when she noticed the ring on
Rachel’s ring finger, she introduced the dresses more enthusiastically. “There are a few new wedding dresses in our shop. They
are all new designs for this year’s show. I think they suit your temperament.”
As a wedding dress designer, Rachel didn’t have much expectations for wedding dresses.
However, when she saw the booklet handed over by the shop assistant, she suddenly bit back the words she would have said to
refuse.
The dress was indeed unique from design to cut. The fishtail design and lace combine sexiness and elegance perfectly. Lots of
beaded accessories made the lace less cheap and vulgar.
Rachel’s fingertips gently caressed the wedding dress in the photo. She suppressed the surging emotions in her eyes. “Not for
the time being, thank you.”
