Betrayal At The Altar

David approached Old Mr. Johnson and stopped in front of him. David lifted his head and said, “Old Mr. Johnson, I should have visited you when I had just returned to Seaxas, but I was delayed by other matters. Please forgive me.”

Old Mr. Johnson pursed his lips and said absent–mindedly, “Mr. Jones, you’re being too polite.”

After finishing his sentence, Old Mr. Johnson lowered his head to hide the gleam in his eyes.

Old Mr. Johnson held the cane in his hand and rubbed at the gem that was embedded in the dragon’s eye at the head of the cane, seeming to be lost in thought.

The butler duly stepped forward to serve tea to David.

At this moment, Old Mr. Shain asked, “I wonder if Mr. Jones has met with Mr. Shain?”

Hearing Old Mr. Shain’s words, David raised his eyebrows and looked at Old Mr. Shain, “Didn’t Jimmy inform you that he was going on an emergency business trip?”

Taken aback, Old Mr. Shain paused before he replied, “I see. Jimmy must have been in a hurry to leave and forgot to inform me.”

As Old Mr. Shain spoke, he glanced at Old Mr. Johnson instinctively.

However, Old Mr. Johnson frowned imperceptibly after hearing David’s words.

“How could there be such a coincidence?” Old Mr. Johnson pondered. Old Mr. Johnson’s intuition was telling him that this seemed to have been purposely arranged by someone.
