Chapter 601
“Then should we take the opportunity to…” Albert looked up at Marina with a dark glint in his eyes.
Hearing this, Marina raised her eyes and looked at him. Marina stretched out her fingertips and lifted Albert’s chin. Marina said unhurriedly. “The water is not muddy enough now. When the water in the pool is so muddy that you can’t see it clearly, that will be a good opportunity to catch and kill fish.
Albert didn’t say anything. He just followed the force of Marina’s fingers and moved forward.
Seeing this, Marina smiled even more, but her eyes were still cold. Marina’s sharp nails slowly slid down Albert’s face as she said unhurriedly, “Do you know what’s the most difficult and the most painful thing in this world?”
Albert pondered for a moment but could not think of it
“Being hurt by someone close.” Marina slowly retracted her hand and stood up to look at the boundless. night sky outside the window. Marina’s beautiful eyes flickered with a clear cold light. “It was most fatal to be hurt by someone he raised and trained, someone he considered to be the most satisfying successor. I just don’t know if that woman is worth the grandfather and grandson turning against each other?”
“Maybe we can test it out.” Albert looked at the expression on Marina’s face and said carefully, “The Tory family might hate Rachel now. Who knows if they will take revenge.”
The Tory family thought that everything would be fine after sacrificing Cindy, but they did not expect David to be so merciless.
The businesses under the Tory family’s name were severely damaged.
A cornered dog would jump over the wall. Who knew if the Tory family would hate Rachel and take revenge on Rachel because of this?
“What’s the hurry?” Marina glanced at Albert and picked up a white rose in the vase. Marina sniffed it and said slowly, “There will always be people who can’t control themselves.”
No matter who attacked, they only needed to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Marina was curious if David, who had a weakness, could still be as decisive as before!
Marina really hoped to see the scene of the grandfather and grandson turning against each other.
However, Marina did not know if Rachel was worth it.
With this in mind, Marina clenched her fists tightly. The beautiful white rose was ruined by Marina and thrown to the ground.
The next morning.
Rachel arrived at the company as usual.
When the meeting ended, it was already an hour and a half later.
As Rachel flipped through the file in her hand, she headed for her office.
However, Rachel did not expect to see Old Mr. Johnson sitting on the sofa when she pushed the door
open.
“Grandpa?” Rachel exclaimed in surprise. Rachel turned to look at Linda beside her.
Linda shook her head slightly, indicating that she did not know about Old Mr. Johnson’s arrival either.
A hint of contemplation flashed past Rachel’s eyes. “You can leave first. No one is allowed to approach the office without my permission.”
“Yes, Ms. Grey,” Linda said.
After the office door closed, Rachel stood in front of Old Mr. Johnson. “Why are you suddenly here? You didn’t even tell me.”
“You’re getting more successful now, and you have a big shot backing you up. How would I dare to
trouble you to welcome me personally?” Old Mr. Johnson turned his head and refused to look at Rachel.
As smart as Rachel was, she naturally sensed something from the old man’s words.
It seemed that the news about the Tory family had reached the old man.
Rachel was not in a hurry to explain. Instead, she got up and personally brewed a pot of coffee for the old man. Rachel handed the coffee to Old Mr. Johnson.
However, the old man snorted arrogantly, and he had no intention of accepting it.
Rachel was not angry. She placed the coffee on the table and said unhurriedly. “No matter how arrogant 1 am, I can’t compare to you, right?”
Hearing this, Old Mr. Johnson frowned imperceptibly!
Rachel continued, “I heard that Mrs. Jones asked to visit you early, but you kept rejecting her because you claimed you were not feeling well. Isn’t that you being arrogant?”
“You heartless little brat, I’m your biological grandfather. I am!” Old Mr. Johnson slammed the walking stick in his hand against the ground. As if that wasn’t enough, he raised the walking stick.
Mr. Chadwick saw the situation and rushed forward with a terrified expression. “Mr. Johnson, please
don’t!”
Looking at the old man’s angry expression, Rachel could not help but laugh. “Mr. Chadwick, don’t stop. him. If he wants to hit me, let him.”
“Miss Grey!” Mr. Chadwick looked at Rachel helplessly.
Sometimes, Rachel was really like Sophia.
Rachel was clearly spoiled, but she still looked so self-righteous. It was really infuriating and lovable at the same time.
“How did I raise such a brat like you!” Old Mr. Johnson snorted angrily. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Rachel smiled and wrapped her arms around the old man’s arm. Rachel’s voice was not as cold as usual, but it was filled with gentleness. “You know that I’m not targeting the Tory family just because the Tory family made trouble at the banquet. I’m just taking advantage of the situation to take revenge on them. for colluding with outsiders to plot against the Johnson family a few days ago.
“There’s a rumor that the Johnson family’s position as the richest family will change. I don’t believe that such rumors will spread for no reason. These people below are covetous and want to take the opportunity to take a share. Then I’ll make an example out of the Tory family. I will let the other families. who made the most noise see the consequences of plotting against the Johnson family. So I can kill their restless hearts.”
Anything that happened at the Chamber of Commerce of Seaxas had never leaked, big or small.
However, the appearance of Marina this year and the words Marina said at the dining table got out. It was obvious who was behind all of this.
“Even if David didn’t make a move last night, I wouldn’t let the Tory family leave unscathed.”
Hearing this, there was no joy on Old Mr. Johnson’s face. He looked at Rachel with unprecedented seriousness. “Then should I praise you for your good plan?”
“Grandpa, you think that I was too ostentatious last night,” Rachel said.
At this point, Old Mr. Johnson did not hide anymore. With a serious expression, he said, “Rae-Rae, you’re not the same as David!”
Since what happened last night could reach Old Mr. Johnson, it could naturally reach the others.
David had such a special identity!
Rachel was with him so ostentatiously, and David was so blatantly helping Rachel vent her anger. This was no different from roasting Rachel over a fire!
Rachel’s eyes flashed slightly as she slowly let go of Old Mr. Johnson’s arm. “Do you think that his actions
last night were too ruthless? However, you can’t show mercy without hard force. You taught me this. I don’t think he did anything wrong. Moreover, if it were me, I wouldn’t be merciful either.”
“You know that’s not what I meant.” A hint of impatience appeared between Oid Mr. Johnson’s eyebrows. He held Rachel’s hand and said earnestly, “Rac-Rac, listen to my advice. It’s not too late to separate from him now.”
