Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 652

“To have dinner with your sister,” Zion replied.

Lucas stared at him for a moment and could not help but exclaim, “Fuck, are you serious?”

Back then, he had made a bet with Zion and lost. However, he was unwilling to not get an advantage, so he decided

to introduce his sister, Rachel, to him.

He thought that it would be great if he could really get Zion to call him brother-in-law respectfully.

However, he didn’t expect Zion to take his joke seriously!

“A gentleman never goes back on his word. Are you going back on your word?” Zion raised an eyebrow slightly.

Lucas pursed his lips and suddenly had a wicked idea. He patted Zion’s shoulder and said earnestly, “I’m sure

you’ve heard about the relationship between Rac-Rae and David Jones. But to be honest, compared to him, I think

more highly of you. We’ve known each other for so many years and are close friends for having gone through life

and death together. If I can really entrust my sister to you, I can die in peace.”

Zion played with a lighter with his fingertips. His thin lips curled up into a thought-provoking smile. “You say that I’m

your close friend on the surface, but are secretly planning to trick me behind my back?”

“We’ve been close friends for so many years. Do you think that lowly of me?” Lucas retorted.

Zion smiled meaningfully. With one hand in his pocket, he walked straight into the elevator.

Lucas shrugged and left.

After walking out of Johnson Corporation, he saw Thomas Shain, heir of the Shain family, which was one of the Four

Families of Seaxas.

Seeing how well-dressed he was, Lucas raised an eyebrow slightly. The corners of his mouth curled into a faint

smile that revealed a hint of evilness. “It’s getting interesting today.”

Just as he was thinking about it, a black Rolls-Royce parked at the door arrogantly.

As the car door opened, a pair of straight and slender legs came into view.

The moment the man appeared in front of the car, the surrounding passersby could not help but

Their eyes were filled with admiration and love.

gasp.

“Oh my god, how can anyone be so handsome?”

“I declare he has my heart now!”

“Don’t call my mother and tell her I’m pregnant. I want to marry this man!”

As usual, David was wearing a black suit.

His well-tailored suit accentuated his tall and straight figure, and his every move exuded an unconcealable

sharpness.

His facial features were exquisite and well-defined, just like a work of art.

His noble and indifferent aura carried a strong sense of oppression and intimidation.

His

presence contrasted with the common men around him, who looked like clowns next to him. Compared to the

crazed looks of the women, Lucas was secretly looking forward to the bloodshed that was deemed to happen.

It was not every day for him to see three men fighting for a woman.

Initially, Lucas wanted to follow them but was interrupted by Tom’s call. “There’s a problem at the research

institute. Get over there immediately!”

Hearing this, Lucas’s eyes darkened. “Got it.”

After hanging up the phone, he rushed to the research institute.

At the same time, David also received a call from Jimmy. “David, there is a new data report for 101 Institute. I’ll

send it to you now.”

“Mhm.” David replied in a lukewarm tone.

“Um… Jimmy hesitated.

He pursed his lips and thought for a moment. “Are you really planning to bring her back to Aureliana?”

“Mhm. David replied without much change in tone.

“David, to be honest, I think you need to consider this matter carefully,” Jimmy said. “You know better than me

what it means to bring her back. Let’s not talk about how long you’ve known each other. Can she really survive in

Aureliana with her ability?”

David was an existence that even the Elders had to be wary of.

Over the years, the Elders seemed to have been minding their own business as David minded his

Own.

However, they had been trying to control David behind the scenes.

Originally, the Elders knew of Rachel’s existence and saw her as a breakthrough point. They tried to attack her to

achieve their goal of restraining David.

Once David brought her back, it would be like he had confirmed this in person.

This would only make the Elders more unscrupulous.

At that time, what awaited Rachel would be endless assassinations.

Even with Rachel’s amazing abilities and background, these were nothing in front of the Elders and the Jones family.

Entering the elevator, David looked at the distant sun and said indifferently, “I’m here for her.” His deep voice was

neither warm nor passionate, without the slightest fluctuation of emotion.

However, Jimmy could hear the arrogant and unbridled aura that belonged solely to David. Jimmy’s heart skipped a

beat.

At that moment, he knew that this man who made the Elders tremble in fear indeed had a weakness. Jimmy was

speechless. After pondering for a long time, he said, “I hope she’s worth your sacrifice.” After hanging up, David

walked out of the elevator.

Amidst the adoring discussions, David walked straight toward Rachel’s office.

When he reached the door, he heard Zion’s voice coming from the room clearly. “Shall we have dinner together

tonight?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Eddie Brook sensed that the atmosphere around him chilled suddenly. The air

seemed to have frozen over.

Thinking about it, anyone would be angry if someone went after one’s lover in front of one’s face. In the office, Zion

obviously came prepared. Not only did he choose the restaurant opposite Johnson Corporation, but he also

investigated Rachel’s schedule early. “So I don’t think you have any reason to

reject me today.”

Rachel rolled her eyes helplessly. “Zion, I know that we’ve only met once, so I can’t understand why you like me.”

She felt that all of this was simply inexplicable.

“I guess you really don’t remember…”

Before Zion could finish, a cold voice came from behind him. “Of course, she doesn’t need to remember.”

Hearing the familiar voice, Rachel’s eyebrows twitched.

She looked up abruptly and was caught off guard when she met David’s dark and deep eyes. Her heart seemed to

tighten and she held her breath.

She took a deep breath and adjusted her breathing. She slowly walked forward and took his hand. The moment her

slightly cold fingertips touched the man’s palm, his wide palm reflexively wrapped

around hers.

“So my fiancée is popular.” David lowered his eyes and looked at her. His cold and indifferent could not help but

soften as he laid eyes on her.

The seemingly teasing words were mixed with unconcealable jealousy.

eyes

Rachel blinked and scratched his palm with her fingertips. “I have sharp eyes. I don’t like him.”

Zion was speechless.

What did he do to deserve this?

“Do you want to have dinner together?”

“Of course, my

dear.”

Zion’s expression darkened as he listened to their conversation.

He felt like he had no more business here.

He gave an exasperated snort. “I’m going!”

With that, he turned and left without looking back.
