Chapter 471
This question had bothered Rachel for the longest time.
It was true that the more one could not get an answer, the more persistent one
was.
Regardless of Arthur or Tom, they always had a hesitant look whenever they mentioned the engagement. This
made Rachel even more curious.
When Tom heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly. He picked up the glass of water on the table and replied
perfunctorily, “Your mother was the one who arranged this engagement. I don’t know the details. Besides, didn’t
you say in the past that you were worried that you won’t be happy if you got married…”
“Okay, okay,” Rachel interrupted him. “If you don’t want to tell me, I won’t ask any further.”
She was not a three-year-old child. How could she not know that it was just his excuse not to answer her question?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTom looked at her. His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
In the end, he chose not to say anything. He drank the water of water in one gulp. Just as the two of them fell into
silence, they heard Arthur’s voice from outside the ward.
Exchanging looks, Rachel and Tom stood up and walked toward the door.
When they came out, they saw Arthur talking to a man.
The man was in his fifties. He was wearing a suit, and his eyes looked sharp. “This is Sam Turner. He’s the person in
charge of the Chamber of Commerce. He was appointed to the position two years ago,” Tom whispered to Rachel.
Given the Johnson family’s status in Seaxas, every incumbent head of the Chamber of Commerce had to visit
Arthur as soon as he was appointed.
Despite his age, Arthur was still the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, Sam had to pay him a courtesy visit.
Although he was talking to Arthur, he was observant enough to notice Rachel’s
presence.
“This is…” He looked at Rachel scrutinizing, her subtly from top to bottom.
Arthur gestured for Rachel to go over. “This is my granddaughter, Rachel Grey. She has been studying overseas.”
He then turned to Rachel. “Rae-Rae, this is Sam.”
“Hello, Sam.” Rachel nodded slightly. Her demeanor was self-assured yet not arrogant.
Sam had long heard of the heiress of the Johnson family, who was known as Miss Grey.
Although Rachel took on her father’s surname, all the men in the Johnson family doted on her, showering her with
much love and attention.
When Sam saw how pretty Rachel was, he finally understood why the Johnson family regarded her as the apple of
their eyes and kept her away from the public
eye.
“Hello, Miss Grey. Nice to meet you.” Sam took a step forward and extended his hand to Rachel.

The group then walked into the ward, chatting about the meeting that was to be held at the Chamber of Commerce
in a week.
Arthur told Sam he would be attending the meeting with Rachel.
Sam was thrilled to hear that.
As he left, he suddenly looked at Rachel. “Miss Grey, have we met somewhere before?”
As soon as he said this, not only was Rachel caught by surprise, but Arthur and Tom also gave Sam a puzzled look.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Sam smiled sheepishly. “I probably mistook you for someone else.
He then left after bidding them farewell.
Soon after, Rachel also left the hospital.
As she stepped into the elevator, someone bumped hard into her.
The incident did not bother Rachel at all.
She only realized that her phone was missing when she reached the parking lot.
