Chapter 499
When Rachel heard the familiar voice, she subconsciously distanced herself from David and stood up to greet him.
“Grandpa.”
David’s brows furrowed imperceptibly when he noticed her small movements.
At this moment, Old Mr. Johnson walked over slowly with his walking stick. He glanced sharply at Hannah, then
meaningfully at David. “It’s fine as long as you don’t go overboard. It would be disrespectful if it goes too far,” he
said calmly. “Grandpa, you’re right,” Rachel said.
Now that thing had come to this point. It was like the water that had been splashed out, and there was no way to
take it back.
The Johnson family would still be criticized even if they forcefully took it back.

afraid of the Johnson family.
It made them understand deeply that not everyone could covet the Johnson family’s position.
Rachel had used the move to make a brilliant example out of it.
And now, she had to stop at the most critical moment to save the Shain family’s face. So Old Mr. Shain would
remember Old Mr. Johnson’s favor.
Old Mr. Johnson’s eyes were filled with gratification, but he could not show it obviously in front of others.
The grandfather and the granddaughter looked at each other, and faint smiles flashed through their eyes.
“For the sake of Grandpa Shain, the matter will end here. If there’s a next time…” Rachel looked at Hannah. The
corners of her lips curled up, and her big eyes sparkled with an unknown chill. “You will bear the consequences!”
Then she held Old Mr. Johnson’s arm and turned away.
Hannah looked at her high and mighty attitude. The anger and hatred in her heart burned brighter and brighter.
Finally, she could not take it anymore. “Rachel, what are you so proud of?” she gritted her teeth and said. “In the
end, you’re just an outsider. The Johnson family favored you so that you have your current identity and status. If the
Johnson family collapses, who will take you seriously? How could Mr. Jones ever marry you?”
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. She did not notice the terrifying coldness in David’s eyes at all.
“The day you’re abandoned, you’ll be ridden by thousands of men… Ah!” Before Hannah could finish her sentence,
a loud slap landed on her face, interrupting
her.
Mary had slapped Hannah so hard that her palm was numb. She couldn’t help but shake her hand. “This is the first
time I’ve seen someone as shameless as you!”
The slap caught Hannah off guard. Her face was deflated, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth,

Hannah covered her face and suddenly met David’s bottomless eyes.
The man’s calm and indifferent eyes seemed to be looking at the dead. Instantly, Hannah crept out.
Rachel’s gaze was dark, and a layer of frost was between her brows. “Miss Shain, you look gentle and weak on the
outside, but I didn’t expect you to be so stubborn on the inside.”
Her cold tone seemed to be wrapped in a thick layer of frost, making the people present unconsciously silent.
Those who knew Rachel well were aware that she was furious this time.
Rachel cared about very few things in her life. The Johnson family was the first one of them.
However, Hannah publicly cursed the Johnson family before Old Mr. Johnson. It was something that Rachel could
not tolerate.
“I admire Miss Shain’s backbone.” The corners of Rachel’s lips curled up. Her cold voice seemed to be soaked in ice
water for a few days and nights. It was bone-chilling. “I was wondering if Miss Shain’s bones are as hard as yours?”
Hannah panicked when she heard Rachel, and the color drained from her face.
Her heart was beating violently, and her body was trembling uncontrollably. “Rachel, the Shain family and the
Johnson family have a deep relationship. Don’t you dare touch me!”
