Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 701

Chapter 701 Upon hearing this, the ominous feeling in Vulture’s heart intensified. “Call Twelve!” Blackhawk noticed Vulture’s serious expression and changed his casual attitude from just a second ago, quickly taking out his phone and dialing Rachel’s number. It was the same as when Vulture had tried earlier. The call couldn’t be connected. “I can’t get through,” Blackhawk said. Blackhawk raised his eyes and glanced at Vulture. As they exchanged looks, they reached a clear understanding. ww Barely speaking, both of them stood up at the same time and left, taking big strides as they rushed toward Peckham Palace. Blackhawk started the car, and Vulture threw the equipment in before opening the window and sliding in, his movements. smooth. The moment the car dashed out, Vulture took out his phone and called David. In the meeting hall, many different kinds of people sat around the huge conference table. Old Mr. Jones and David were leading the meeting at the head of the table. Next were the Elders, followed by David’s uncles and the heads of the family branches. The meeting was gradually coming to an end. David sat in his chair, his gaze occasionally landing on his phone.

Rachel usually would send him a message to inform him that she was safely home. He should have received a message by now. Could it be that when Rachel saw Vulture and Blackhawk, she’d forgotten about her actual fiancé?

Just as the thought entered his mind, his brows furrowed a little, and a terrifying low pressure surrounded him.

At this moment, Harley Willis, the Head of the Elders, looked at David. “Mr. David, according to our current investigation, the Jones family’s development in the past six months is more focused on external development than the local industry. Therefore, I think we need to discuss the future development direction of the Jones family…” A buzzing sound filled the room. The phone on the table continued to vibrate, interrupting Harley Willis. Harley Willis frowned and looked at David with eyes full of displeasure. As soon as Harley opened his mouth, he said in an accusing tone, “Mr. David, the use of phones is prohibited during the meeting. As the head of the family, have you forgotten the rules?!” David did not seem to hear him, taking his phone before he got up and left. Seeing that David did not respect Harley, intriguing smiles flashed across the eyes of the heads of the branches of the family. They all felt that David was getting more and more arrogant. David did not take relationships into account when he did things and was decisive and ruthless. Now, he was so bold that he did not even respect the Elders. At this moment, Ryan Jones from the fourth branch said unhurriedly, “Mr. Willis, do you think we can add another clause to the main point of our discussion for the cabinet meeting?” Harley put down the folder in his hand and looked up at Ryan. Ryan continued, “The head of the main family instructed his subordinates to destroy the branches’ business and maliciously occupied it for himself. If he can’t even dissuade his own. subordinates, how is he worthy of continuing to sit in his current position?” Harley looked at Ryan and narrowed his eyes, a shrewd and calculating glint passing through them.

Harley picked up the cup beside him and held it up to his nose to sniff it. With no hurry in his voice, Harley spoke, “Although Mr. David is the head of the family in name now, Mr. Jones has high qualifications and experience. Why don’t we listen to him?” Harley’s words seemed to be giving Old Mr. Jones some respect but he was actually gradually intensifying internal conflicts in the family. Back then,

the Jones family had been in constant conflict over the position of the successor, and at one point, there was a situation where the siblings were fighting with each other.

To avoid a tragedy, at a critical moment, Old Mr. Jones put David into his current position. David did not disappoint Old Mr. Jones, using only six months to settle the internal strife. However, his rise to power made the others feel indignant. Especially David’s uncles who’d been born into the main family. While they hated David, they also resented Old Mr. Jones. They thought that he was old and muddle-headed to overstep his sons and give away the Jones family to his grandson!

Harley’s words had undoubtedly reignited the resentment in their hearts. Before Old Mr. Jones could speak, the butler suddenly ran in from outside. Sensing everyone’s gaze on him, the butler adjusted his expression and quickly walked over to Old Mr. Jones’s side. The butler bent down and deliberately lowered his voice. “Mr. Jones, Mr. David has left!” No matter how soft the butler’s voice was, his words were still picked up by Harley, who had ulterior motives. Harley placed his cup down on the table. The sound was neither loud nor soft but it instantly attracted everyone’s attention. “As the head of the family, he just left without saying anything. Isn’t he disrespecting all of us?” Harley’s faint words instantly caused chatter in the room.

Seeing that the situation was getting more out of hand, Old Mr. Jones raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. These people had been resentful towards David for a long time. Now that they had found an opportunity to condemn him, they wouldn’t let it go. In just a short moment, like spilled beans that sc at tered across the floor, everyone began to complain about David’s past evil deeds. in front of the Elders. As night fell, a black Bugatti Veyron sped through the streets like a bolt of black lightning. David’s hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, the veins on his arm clearly visible.

David’s exquisite and well-defined facial features looked even more profound in the dim light, accentuating the murderous. aura and ruthlessness in his eyes. At this time, Jimmy’s call came through, “David, we lost contact with Rachel after they entered the tunnel.”

“I need people over there, now!” After hanging up, David stepped harder on the accelerator. The car that Rachel was sitting in drove as usual until they entered the tunnel. Just as the car was about to drive out of the tunnel, a heavy truck suddenly crashed towards them. After crashing into the car in the lead and pushing it out a few yards, the truck drove straight toward the car that Rachel was in. Chris started the car and skillfully dodged it but another car blocked their retreat. With no other choice, Rachel and Chris could only escape out of the car. At the same time, the entrance of the tunnel collapsed. Yann pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth and smiled. mockingly. “This is getting f**king interesting.” Yann and Billy looked at each other, both of them opening the car doors at the same time and getting out together. Billy and Yann quickly joined Chris and Rachel. “Why is the signal here getting weaker and weaker…” Chris had originally planned to call David to let him know their current situation, but the phone signal was very weak and she could not make any calls. “It’s useless.” Rachel’s expression was so calm that it was almost chilling. Rachel watched as the heavy truck slowly opened its

hatch, a group of well-trained men in black gradually approaching them. Rachel narrowed her eyes slightly, and a cold light appeared in the depths of her eyes. “They attacked us here to isolate us from the outside world. Why would they leave us a chance to ask for help from someone else?”
