SWNOVELS Chapter 844
Chapter 844
The elevator moved slowly and finally stopped on the floor where the reception hall was located.
Billy and a man in black pushed the door open. Rachel saw the decorations in the living room.
The living room was mainly black and gold. A dragon swooped down from the ceiling in the middle. It was vivid and lifelike, giving
off a strong and intimidating pressure.
At this moment, David was sitting at the head of the table. Jimmy was holding a cigarette between his fingers. He crossed his
legs and sat lazily at the side. “David, to be honest, I think you’re being a little too anxious about the engagement. We have the
freedom to fall in love, but we don’t have the freedom to get married. If you choose the Johnson family just like that, our family
won’t let it go.”
David said calmly. “If we can behave ourselves, everyone will naturally be able to live in peace.”
His casual tone was filled with threat.
Having been friends with David for many years, Jimmy naturally knew that David would do what he said. Jimmy dusted the
cigarette ash off his fingertips and said, “Even if people in the Jones family can behave themselves, what about the others?”
He did not notice Rachel’s arrival. His thin lips moved slightly as he said to himself, The Clifford family might not just watch their
plan fail.”
Hearing this, Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly.
The Clifford family....
Jennifer?
This name was not unfamiliar. Strictly speaking, Jennifer could be considered David’s rumored girlfriend.
David noticed Rachel’s figure and the corners of his lips subconsciously curled up. Before he could speak, Jimmy said, “To be
honest, I originally thought that you were just playing with her. After all, it’s no longer a secret that the Clifford family is interested
in marrying their daughter into the Jones family. Who would have thought that you would propose and get engaged? I am simply
too surprised.
This group of people had been nurtured as the successors of their families since they were young. They knew very well that their
mission was to revitalize their families and make it prosperous and lasting, so they did not dare to relax at all.
The hard work and effort that they thought they had put in was nothing in front of David.
David was so outstanding that everyone admired him. He was as perfect and indestructible as a god.
When the others were flirting with girls, David was always alone, maintaining his usual coldness and indifference.
No matter how outstanding a woman’s look was or how good her figure was, he could always maintain an attitude of turning a
blind eye to her. He wouldn’t even look at her.
At that time, they had already determined in their hearts that David was not fated to be with a woman in this life.
He was also destined to never be trapped by love in his life.
This was a good thing for David. They both knew that Davids’s background and status meant that his marriage was not up to him
When they saw David and Rachel fall in love, they were shocked and secretly prayed for David.
A man as perfect as a god should not be bound by love.
“Jennifer’s feelings for you are as clear as day. You can’t bluff your way out by playing dumb,” said Jimmy.
Upon hearing this, Rachel frowned imperceptibly.
Previously, when she was in Aureliana, she had already heard about the Clifford family’s intention to marry their daughter into the
Jones family. However, she did not take it to heart at that time, nor did she feel any sense of danger.
Jimmy’s persuasion at this moment was like a thorn in her heart. It was difficult to ignore the fact.
I’m not the only man in the Jones family” David’s well-defined face was filled with coldness. He looked at Jimmy with a dark
gaze. “If the Clifford family wants to marry their daughter into the Jones family, they can choose any marriage partner they want.”
“Jennifer is too arrogant. How could she fall for someone from the other branches?” Jimmy sneered without hiching anything.
“Besides, don’t you know what kind of woman in the Clifford family is? Other than you, who else do you think can control
Jennifer?”
David frowned slightly. “When did I say I wanted to control her?”
“Mr. Shain can do it too. A cold and pleasant voice sounded from behind.
Jimmy shuddered and turned around. The moment he saw Rachel, he felt guilty and pursed his lips stiffly. “Rachel... You are
here. Then what I said just now...”
Originally, he still had a trace of hope in his heart until Rachel said. “I heard everything
Jimmy was stunned.
He put out the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the ashtray. He smiled awkwardly and said, “I was just spouting nonsense.
Rachel, don’t take it to heart.”
“Mr. Shain, you have a noble status. I really can’t afford your apology” When Rachel walked toward David, she glanced at Jimmy
indifferently. “The daughter of the Clifford family is noble. I think she can afford it.”
Jimmy was shocked!
He had completely offended Rachel.
“Why are you so slow?” David held Rachel’s hand and carried her onto his lap.
“Slow?” Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly. Why do I feel that the timing is just right? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have heard such an
exciting story. I think I’m the one who delays your future.”
David held her hand to his lips and kissed it. “Are you jealous?”
“No” As Rachel spoke, she forcefully pulled her hand away from his palm.
She couldn’t say that she was jealous, but she was more or less disgusted.
Although she had long heard of Jennifer and had met Jennifer before, it was precisely because of this that she felt disgusted
She had long heard about the marriage between the Clifford family and the Jones family. It had spread like wildfire, and everyone
believed it was real.
In fact, in everyone’s eyes, the title of Mrs. Jones had become Jennifer’s for sure.
Otherwise, Jimmy would not have tacitly agreed that David and Jennifer would be together.
Landon gave Jimmy a look. The two of them got up and left tacitly.
After the two of them left, Rachel got up and walked to the French window.
Behind the hotel was a green forest. It was dense, layered, and full of life. A cobblestone path extended all the way to the
deepest part of the green forest.
“Do you want to go out for a walk? David walked to her side and wrapped his arm around her waist
Rachel looked up at him. Let’s go.”
When the two of them walked out, it was drizzling.
David held up a black umbrella and extended a hand to Rachel.
In a daze, Rachel thought about the scene when they first met.
She looked at David’s outstretched hand in a daze. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly extended her hand to his palm
His palm was dry and warm, just like the first time they met.
David looked down at her and noticed the fleeting smile in her eyes. “What did you think of?”
Tm thinking, if I hadn’t met you when I left the auditorium, what would have happened? Rachel looked at him. “Would we be like
two parallel lines that have never intersected and have our own lives and partners?”
Hearing this. David narrowed his eyes slightly. His eyes revealed a sharp and dangerous cold light. “So who do you want to be
with?”
