Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 405

Rachel lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. Her hands on her knees suddenly clenched into fists.

After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath and smiled. “Got it, Grandpa.”

“Do you want to open the box and see what’s inside?” Old Mr. Johnson took a sip of coffee and looked at Rachel.

“It’s just a diamond…” Rachel blurted out without any hesitation.

After saying that, she secretly bit her tongue.

It was over. She couldn’t hide her relationship with David anymore!

However, Old Mr. Johnson did not pursue the matter. “Aren’t you curious about the origin of the engagement at all?”

Rachel looked at Old Mr. Johnson. “Why haven’t I heard of it before?”

“I don’t know the exact origin of this marriage,” Old Mr. Johnson said. “To be honest, I’ve never thought that the Jones family would come to me with the token one day.”

The Jones family didn’t contact him all those years. He even thought that the Jones family had long forgotten about this marriage.

“Rae–Rae, as long as you are unwilling, even if you have to sacrifice the entire Johnson family, I will help you destroy this marriage,” Old Mr. Johnson said calmly.

His words were filled with unquestionable determination.

Rachel sensed the determination in Old Mr. Johnson’s eyes. Her almond–shaped eyes were puzzled. “Do you want me to propose breaking off the engagement?”
