Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 785

Hans was in so much pain that he instinctively let go. He was tossed aside before he could see the other party’s face clearly.

He staggered a few steps back and barely managed to stand still. He held his slightly painful wrist and looked up.

What he saw was an exquisite face. The man stood tall and straight, and his aura was even more terrifying. At this moment, he was not saying anything and was just standing there quietly. Yet, he emitted a terrifying aura that deterred anyone from approaching from the depths of their bones. It pressed down on his heart for no reason, making him unable to breathe.

Hans was slightly stunned when he saw David. Then, a flattering smile formed on his face. He walked toward David and extended his hand to greet him. “You must be Mr. Jones, right? I’ve heard a lot about you.”

He did not feel awkward even though David did not react for a long time. Instead, he braced himself and introduced himself. “I’m Hans Grey from the Grey family in Pollister. Nice to meet you, Mr. Jones.”

David acted as if he did not hear him. He wrapped his arms around Rachel’s slender waist and held her wrist with his other hand. He frowned slightly when he saw the red marks that had yet to fade.

Hans awkwardly retracted his outstretched hand.

He was the best at flattery and observation. He acutely sensed David’s displeasure. His eyes darted around as if he was thinking of a countermeasure.

Soon, he explained, “I’m not afraid of being laughed at by you. There was a misunderstanding between us. We didn’t say much before we started arguing. In a moment of desperation, I wanted to teach her a lesson as her father. I’m sorry you had to see that.”

A chuckle escaped from David’s throat. It was curt, but it frightened Hans.

Hans felt his heart tighten. He held his breath and lowered his head. However, his gaze quickly swept past David’s face as he secretly tried to figure out his thoughts.

However, David did not show his emotions on his face. It was really difficult to guess. what he was thinking.

However, Hans thought that no matter what, he was still Rachel’s father. It was only right

for a father to teach his child a lesson. Even if David was powerful, he could not interfere in the family matters of others.

As soon as this thought appeared, he immediately felt a little more confident.

However, before he could puff out his chest, David’s cold voice rang out again, “Your father?”
