Mary retracted her hand in embarrassment. With the movement, the gem embedded in the bracelet reflected a colorful light. However, she was not happy at all. Instead, she said angrily, “He owed me!”
The car soon arrived at Johnson Corporation’s building. Rachel opened the car door and got out.
When she walked into the office, she received a call from David. “I booked a private room at Lansen Restaurant. Shall we go together tonight?”
Hearing the man’s request, Rachel could not help but laugh. “There are still five hours until dinner. Don’t you think it’s a bit too early to ask?”
“This is the only reason I can think of rightfully to see you and not be easily rejected by you,” David explained seriously. “Or… if Miss Grey is willing, maybe we can go out as boyfriend and girlfriend.”
Rachel’s expression was calm, but there was an imperceptible smile in her eyes. “Who was the one who swore that you have to show 100% sincerity when pursuing a woman? Who said that you have to learn to lower your attitude, be more proactive, and be more considerate? Now, are you going back on your word?”
When David heard Rachel’s words, he gave a giggle. “I thought you have already felt my sincerity clearly enough. Looks like I still need to work harder on that.”
“It has to be done step by step, right?” Rachel said as she stepped into the exclusive elevator.
“Then let us witness together the transformation of Miss Grey into Mrs. Jones.”
There was a hint of a smile at the end of the man’s voice. His voice was mellow and warm, like a feather gently sweeping across Rachel’s heart, inadvertently causing ripples.
She couldn’t help but blush shyly. “I have to work. I’ll see you tonight.”
On the other end of the phone, David was stunned for a moment before saying gently, “Until tonight then.”
His deep voice was filled with an indescribable gentleness that softened the cold radio waves on the phone.
After hanging up the phone, David turned to look at Eddie. “Hurry up and deal with the public. opinion on the Internet or it’d affect her appetite tonight.”
“Miss Grey has already taken action. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble for Miss Grey, our people are in charge of controlling the comments online,” Eddie explained. “In addition, the police station has sent messages that the Smith family and the Cruise family have appeared and hoped that this matter can be resolved privately.”
David raised his eyes. Her dark eyes flickered with an unclear coldness. “The Smith family and the Cruise family are not in the position to tell people what to do in Seaxas yet.” In other words, he refused to settle it privately. If the Smith family and the Cruise family didn’t know better, there wouldn’t be a place for them in Seaxas in the future.
Eddie could hear the warning in David’s words. His heart skipped a beat. He realized David was going to do whatever it took to please Rachel.
“Those people are already in the dirty business. It’s not difficult to enforce the law on them.”
David raised his hand and unbuttoned one of the buttons on his shirt. He said casually, “Make it clean and fast”
“Yes.”
During this period of time, along with the exposure of a post that said [The high–profile star in the entertainment industry is colluding with unknown evil forces to smash cars to take revenge]. A wave of public opinion quickly rose on the Internet.
Olivia had instigated her fans to appear because she wanted to take the opportunity to teach Rachel a lesson. As long as there were no casualties, the matter would be over with a little money.
After all, it was common in the industry to use fans to take revenge on competitors, but this matter was clearly beyond her control.
Just the fact that she was in cahoots with an unknown evil force was enough to make her frantic. Helpless, she could only spend money to withdraw the trending post, but the money she spent flowed out like water and there was no improvement.
Olivia could only use the marketing account she had under her to re–edit the video shot at the entrance of Lansen Restaurant and upload it online. At the same time, it also included the medical report of the diagnosis at the hospital last night.
As expected, as soon as the video was released, there was another wave of criticism against Rachel online.
“She committed a crime in broad daylight. It wouldn’t be enough even if she is shot a hundred times!”
“This woman is clearly bullying our Olivia. She’s soft–hearted and kind. As her big fans, we definitely won’t let her get away with it!”
“We have to get this woman to come out and apologize. We have to let her get the due punishment.”
Olivia looked at the comments in the comments section that were all biased toward her. A smile finally appeared on her gloomy face. She closed her eyes and rested on the hospital bed with her facial mask on, looking forward to the scene of Rachel kneeling in front of her and begging for mercy.
She believed Rachel could never outsmart her.
“Why don’t you take a better look at yourself? You can’t beat me even with the Smith family behind you and now you’re chased out!” she thought.
Thinking of how Rachel slapped her twice last night, Olivia grit her teeth in indignation,
However, when she thought about how Rachel was about to lose her reputation and kneel in front of her to beg for mercy, she immediately felt a lot better.
At that moment, her phone rang under her pillow. It was Mrs. Smith.
“Well, Olivia, I just saw the news online. Why didn’t you tell me that you’ve suffered so much? I felt really terrible when I saw how badly you were beaten up.” At this point, Mrs. Smith had no choice but to mention Rachel, whom she looked down on the most. Her words were filled with disdain for Rachel. “When Louis brought her in, I didn’t agree. Not to mention the fact that she wasn’t good enough for our family, just her actions in the company over the years have caused so many rumors. Marrying such a woman will only embarrass the Smith family.”
Hearing Mrs. Smith’s words, a trace of disdain flashed across Olivia’s eyes, but she still patiently chatted with Mrs. Smith. “Mrs. Smith, I’m kinda to blame for what happened to Rachel. If it weren’t for my appearance, she wouldn’t have fallen out with Louis, nor would she abandon Smith Group in a fit of anger.”
“Without her, Smith Group can still operate!” Mrs. Smith snorted angrily. “She’s just a country girl. How dare she dream of becoming one of us? Even if she has lived a good life for a few years, so what? She still can’t change the vulgarity in her bones!” she added.
Without waiting for Olivia to speak, she spoke again, “Olivia, rest well in the hospital for the time being. When you’re discharged from the hospital, our families will meet for a meal and discuss the marriage between you and Louis.”
“Okay,” Olivia replied sweetly.
