Braxton could not figure out why things had turned out this way. Louis was similarly stumped.
Although Braxton did not know Mr. Griffin well, he had heard rumors about him. Not much was known about Mr. Griffin’s background, but no one could provoke the power behind him.
Otherwise, how was Mr. Griffin able to regulate the antique market in Seaxas?
However, Braxton could not understand how Rachel Grey was acquainted with someone like Mr. Griffin.
Could it be that Rachel had been hiding something from him?
Braxton sighed. “It’s getting late. Let’s end this here.”
With that, he went upstairs without looking back.
When Rachel walked to the door, she was stunned to see the man leaning against the car.
David Jones seemed to have sensed something. He looked up. The moment his gaze was met with Rachel’s, the frost in his eyes disappeared instantly. The apathetic expression on his face was replaced by a gentle and affectionate one.
Rachel did not know what she should say to this man.
He had appeared out of nowhere and even acted as her supporter. He also understood her inner sensitivity and left enough personal time for her to settle down.
Just as she stepped forward, Olivia Cruise’s voice sounded from behind. “Miss Grey.”
Hearing her voice, Rachel frowned slightly, but her footsteps continued, showing no signs of halting.
Olivia quickly chased after Rachel and grabbed her wrist. She questioned coldly, “Rachel Grey, didn’t you hear me speaking to you?”
“I don’t have the energy to pay attention to dogs barking by the roadside.” Rachel raised. her eyebrows slightly. She sized Olivia up from head to toe and smiled faintly. “I was in such a hurry to leave I forgot to wish Miss Cruise a happy engagement.”
The way these words were uttered so casually made Olivia’s expression change instantly. Her beautiful eyes revealed deep hatred and unwillingness. “Who do you think you are? How dare you mock me!”
“I don’t need a reason to mock you.” Rachel turned around and left. Her expression was indifferent.
Olivia took a step forward and blocked Rachel’s way. “Don’t you want to know why Grandpa Smith gave you the shares?”

Olivia paused slightly and continued, “That’s because Grandpa Smith wants to tie down this way. He’s worried that your wild ambitions will propel you to take revenge on the Smith family. He’s worried that the news of my engagement with Louis Smith will affect the company, so he hopes you can attend the annual meeting as a shareholder to

appease public opinion.”
Rachel was not fazed at all.
Rachel had already guessed so when Old Mr. Smith pulled out the contract in front of
everyone.
Rachel could not help but feel a sharp pain in her chest the moment she heard Olivia say that.
Rachel could not help but wonder how sincere Old Mr. Smith’s love for her was during the three years she was with the Smith family.
Just how much was his care and concern for her genuine?
Olivia said, “Rachel Grey, don’t tell me you’re so naive as to think that Old Mr. Smith really cares about you?” Olivia looked at Rachel’s gloomy expression. Olivia felt a little relieved from her pent–up emotions. “Just think about it. If you weren’t useful to the Smith family, would they have allowed you to pester Louis Smith for three years? If you weren’t working for the Smith family, would Old Mr. Smith have given you the bracelet?
“Only those who lack love will remember the kindness of others and want to repay them with everything they have. Sometimes, I feel sorry for you when I see that no one loves you.”
“What about you?” Rachel questioned.
