Chapter 23

“Don’t be nervous. With Mr. Johnson, one of the top 10 outstanding lawyers in the world, as my family, I know the law well and will never break it. So, don’t worry about me.” Rachel knew that Adrian was annoyed to see her bullied by the Smith family and wanted to seek revenge for her.

But Adrian was obviously overqualified. If Rachel intended to retaliate against the Smith family, she could even make it without Adrian’s assistance.

Adrian raised his hand and pinched Rachel’s face, but her previously chubby face was pale and thin now. His heart ached at that, and he said with concern flashing in his eyes, “You brute, I am trying to help you!”

Adrian learned from the previous phone call with his elder brother Tom that Rachel had devoted herself to the Smith family all these years but was abandoned by the scum Louis Smith. It was much more annoying than being defeated by his opponent.

After her failed relationship with Louis, Rachel learned not to cater to indifferent people and also not to disregard others‘ kindness.

Smiling indulgently, Adrian ruffled Rachel’s hair and said with a gentle tone, “Whether to get married or not solely depends on you. The Johnson family doesn’t need to sacrifice your marriage to gain their wealth.”
