Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 698

This family banquet was personally organized by Old Mr. Jones, so everyone from the Jones family clan was present.

As a result, this so-called family banquet was even grander than ordinary banquets.

When Rachel and David arrived, the butler welcomed them into the living room. “Mr. Louis, Miss Grey, please wait a moment.”

David nodded at the butler. After the butler left, David pushed the coffee beside him to Rachel. “Try it and see how it tastes.”

Rachel was slightly stunned.

David was worried that someone would tamper with Rachel’s coffee, so David especially gave Rachel his cup of coffee.

Rachel pursed her lips and took a sip of the coffee. “Will the people from the side branches be here tonight?”

“They will.” David said, “According to the Jones family’s rules, they are not allowed to approach the main family or enter the old residence unless the main family gives instructions.”

This rule raised the status of the main family.

Rachel rubbed the cup with her fingertips and said insincerely, “There are quite a lot of rules.”

As the richest family in Seaxas, the Johnson family had many rules. But compared to the Jones family, the Johnson family’s rules were nothing.

Hearing this, David raised his eyebrows slightly. His dark eyes were filled with a faint gentle light. “My people don’t need to follow the rules.”

There was an unquestionable determination in David’s casual

tone.

Not long after, the sound of unhurried footsteps came from the door.

Rachel subconsciously looked up and saw Old Mr. Jones, who was dressed in a silver-gray suit, walking steadily against the light.

Although Old Mr. Jones did not say anything, Rachel sensed a hint of unconcealable anger in his words and actions.
