Clap! Clap! Clap!
The crisp and abrupt sound of applause rang out behind.
Rachel glanced to the side and immediately spotted Marina standing in front of the second-floor balcony.
“Miss Grey, you always bring me surprises time after time,”
“You’re an impressionable senior, Auntie Marina, Rachel said sarcastically.
Rachel’s sarcastic and impolite words instantly wiped the smile off Marina’s face.
She took a deep breath and forced a smile again. “Miss Grey, do you really think you can do whatever you want just because someone is backing you up in this auction?”
The organizers of this charity auction had always been low-key.
When Marina first arrived in Seaxas, she privately conducted an investigation into the long-established and wealthy families in the city, as well as gained an understanding of the city’s major events.
There had always been three unsolved mysteries in the whole city of Seaxas.
One of them was the organizer of this annual charity auction.
She came to this auction hoping to meet the organizers, who had always been low-key. But instead of meeting the real organizers, she ended up meeting Rachel, who she considered a fake.
In
Marina’s understanding, even if Rachel had the Johnson family as her backing, it was not easy to organize such a grand charity auction solely through financial and material resources.
Besides, the Only Love Foundation had a history of more than 30 years.
However, Rachel was only in her early twenties, which meant that the Only Love Foundation had long existed before Rachel was born.
Therefore, Marina guessed that Rachel was just causing trouble here under the name of David.
Rachel did not know what Marina was thinking, but upon hearing Marin’s words, she smiled faintly. “Do you think I need him to back me up?” she asked.
Her confidence never came from anyone else but from herself.
Even if Rachel lost David, she still had the confidence and capital to confront Marina.
“Idiot, you’re still acting tough at this point!”
A mocking voice filled with sarcasm rang out loud and clear, causing the crowd to burst into low laughter.
If Rachel’s speech as a representative had surprised the audience just a moment ago, the contemptuous smiles on their faces now made it clear they were mocking her. It was as though they were watching a joke as they looked at Rachel.
After all, other than Marina, David, Zion, and Mary in the private room, no one knew her identity.
Seeing this scene, Olivia’s anger and hatred were finally relieved.
At this moment, nothing could make her happier than seeing Rachel getting humiliated.
“This Rachel is really overestimating herself. She actually dares to say such rude words to the mistress of the Jones family!”
“Look at how arrogant she is. She clearly has no idea who she just offended!”
“She’s vain and hypocritical. No wonder she was dumped by Mr. Smith back then.”
“Do you think you’re so great just because you have Mr. Jones backing you? The person in front of you is the proud daughter of the Jones family. Even Mr. Jones has to be polite to her. You’re doomed!”
Everyone spoke one after another, not hiding their mockery of Rachel.
After a long while, an extremely deep and cold voice suddenly sounded. “Is it very funny?”
David’s voice carried a chill that seeped into one’s heart. The cold temperature was like the biting cold wind in the cold winter, lowering the temperature in the venue.
In an instant, all the mockery and ridicule in the venue stopped.
Everyone looked at David walking towards them step by step.
David exuded a terrifying aura, and his exquisite eyes were filled with cold hostility.
The murderous look on his face made people shudder.
He had one hand in his pocket and his footsteps were casual, but every step seemed to be stepping on
one’s heart.
He was as cold and ruthless as Satan walking out of hell, stepping over the corpses across the ground.
Those who were familiar with David knew that he was furious at this moment!
In the silent venue, David’s deep and cold voice sounded again. “Why aren’t you laughing anymore?”
The only answer he got was dead silence.
Everyone’s pleading gazes landed on Marina. Their gazes seemed to be anticipating their savior to show
mercy.
Marina frowned, and an imperceptible coldness flashed across her eyes. What a group of idiots!
They only looked for her after making such a huge mess!
After pondering for a long time, Marina said, “David, everyone was just joking.”
She spoke to both ease the tension and to give herself an out.
If Marina showed the slightest bit of fear toward David, no one in Seaxas would be at her disposal in the future.
David looked at Marina with a menacing gaze. “When did my people become the subject of their jokes?”
Upon hearing this, Marina’s face stiffened.
She did not expect David to retort to her in public!
No matter what, she was his aunt!
Did he really not care about their blood ties at all?
Olivia also looked at the unexpected scene in front of her in disbelief.
She knew about the relationship between Marina and David.
No matter what, they were related by blood, but David didn’t show Marina any respect at all.
He had even humiliated Marina in public!
Marina’s face flushed with anger and embarrassment, but she tried to maintain a calm and unaffected. demeanor. “David, have you lost your mind? How could you embarrass me in front of everyone just for the sake of a woman? I am your aunt!”
Her words were both criticizing David and implying that he had been blinded by love.
“Since when is it your turn to tell me what to do?” David looked at Marina indifferently.
The sharp gaze felt like an arrow shooting straight from the depths of his eyes, aimed directly at Marina without any hesitation.
Marina’s heart trembled. Her footsteps were unsteady, and her hands on the fence suddenly tightened.
Her intuition told her that if she spoke again, David would strangle her throat without hesitation.
In the long silence, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.
Chapter 592
Marina secretly gritted her teeth and dug her sharp nails into her palms. “Okay, okay, okay! I don’t care anymore!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she ignored the expressions on everyone’s faces and turned to leave angrily.
However, only Marina knew that every step she took was like walking on thin ice. She was afraid that David would stop her.
At that time, she would not be able to protect her reputation.
Everyone looked at Marina’s back as she left. They didn’t know if it was their imagination, but they felt that she was fleeing.
“You scared my guests away.” Rachel looked at David.
David lowered his eyes and looked at Rachel. The coldness between his eyebrows faded a little. It’s my fault. You can do whatever you want with me.”
When the people present saw David’s attitude, their expressions changed drastically.
Especially Cindy, whose face was filled with disbelief.
Rumor had it that Mr. Jones did not get close to women. He was decisive and did not show mercy to his blood relatives. Why was he only so gentle to Rachel?
