Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 839

Louis did not let go. Instead, he tightened his grip on her hand and glared at her. “If you do not make yourself clear today, you’re not allowed to go anywhere!”

Since he found out tonight that Rachel was the daughter of the wealthiest family in Seaxas, the Johnson family, and that she had become David’s woman. Louis felt depressed.

He seemed to have fallen into a dead end.

No matter how much he thought about it, he could not understand how Rachel had suddenly become the daughter of the Johnson family, the wealthiest family in Seaxas.

Since she was rich and powerful, why wouldn’t she help the Smith family to tide over the crisis?

There was an easier way to achieve his goal. Why did he have to watch him pull in resources from everywhere?

Too many questions appeared in his mind, and the flames of resentment and anger in his heart burned brighter and brighter.

Crazy and stubborn thoughts grew in his heart, wrapping around him tightly like poisonous vines.

As Rachel remained silent, a sinister glint flickered in Louis’s eyes, and a twisted smile curled at the corner of his mouth. “Does David know that you are a woman I rejected? Even though you come from an illustrious background, aren’t you just a woman left over for me to play with?”

He suspected that Rachel had concealed from David their past relationship. And the fact that they had come close to getting married.

Men have a natural sense of pride and self-assuredness, especially men like David, who comes from an esteemed background. Why would David willingly accept a discarded woman like her?

Therefore, in his opinion, Rachel must have hidden that they were once together from David!

Rachel’s gaze turned colder and colder by the second, and within the depths of her pupils, it seemed as if a hidden knife lurked, piercing straight toward Louis.

The moment their gazes met in the air, it was as if countless sparks had been set off, and the smell of gunpowder filled the

air.

However, this perception of the scene changed in David’s eyes.

No matter how he looked at it, the two seemed to be…flirting?

His eyes narrowed slightly and emitted a sharp cold light. His well-defined face seemed to be covered in a thin layer of ice.

“When did the threshold for our bidding become so low?” Jimmy watched the scene with amusement from the side and. chimed in. “This Louis lacks foresight!”

After David had publicly announced his relationship with Rachel, he still dared to flirt with her!

Hearing this, the others sitting at the side turned around and glanced at him.

“That is Smith Group’s Mr. Smith? Che Shannon sized him up from head to toe. “He doesn’t seem to be in a good mood. Could he have been driven crazy?”

Crazy?

This was interesting!

Jimmy raised his eyebrows slightly. His eyes were filled with interest as he gave Che a look. “Tell everyone about it.”

Che glanced at Jimmy and played with the lighter with his fingertips. He said unhurriedly, “Olivia was sentenced to prison before. Later, she was lucky enough to postpone it because of her pregnancy. The Smith family’s current situation is complicated. Old Mr. Smith’s health has been deteriorating in recent years. If she can successfully give birth to the child, she will naturally get more in return.”

“But that child was lost some time ago, and their plans for the main branch fell through. With Olivia entering the family as the second wife, the Smith family naturally faced setbacks. I heard that the shareholders of the Smith Group united in opposition to Louis, deeming him unfit for the position and demanding that he step down. It was only thanks to the personal intervention of Old Mr. Smith himself that Louis managed to save his position.”

Jimmy sneered. “Serve them right”

Louis’s abandonment of Rachel for Olivia was known to Jimmy and Landon.

Although they did not know how lethal Olivia was, based on the facts, regardless of appearance or background, Olivia was not worthy of being Rachel’s opponent.

Only Louis, this idiot, treated Olivia like a treasure.

Moreover, if it weren’t for Rachel’s efforts and tireless dedication to the Smith family over the years, the Smith family’s presence in Seaxas would have long vanished, let alone becoming the rising influential family of the city.

But how did Louis repay Rachel?

Having fully utilized someone without taking responsibility and wanting to continue exploiting their remaining value, and then ruthlessly stepping on them when their purpose is not achieved.

It could be said that Louis portrayed the word ungrateful.

As he was thinking, Louis suddenly lost control of his emotions and grabbed Rachel’s arm as he walked towards the stage. He even muttered eloquently, “Today, 1 will let everyone understand the truth about you and know what kind of woman you are!” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

He seemed to have suddenly lost control of his emotions. He was immersed in his world and did not care about everyone’s

gazes.

“Let go of me!” Rachel did not indulge him at all. She grabbed his wrist with one hand and forcefully pried it open.

But she seemed to have underestimated Louis’s strength.

She frowned slightly and looked up at Louis.

Louis’s eyes were deep and bloodshot. Veins could be vaguely seen on his forehead, making him look like a wild beast on the verge of berserk.

The confrontation between the two attracted the attention of many people present.

Especially when they saw Rachel entangled with Louis, everyone’s eyes were filled with scrutiny and probing.

Some people even started to make wild guesses based on the tension between them.

However, at this moment, Louis scolded in a low voice, “Rachel, why are you so cheap!”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present could not help but gasp.

The scene fell into a deafening silence. In a second, chaotic discussions rose.

Everyone looked at David, who was sitting in the resting area.

The man slowly got up and walked towards them with his slender legs.

David grabbed Louis’s wrist and forcefully pulled his hand away. He stretched out his arm and pulled Rachel into his embrace. He held her wrist and examined the red mark on her skin. He asked casually, “Mr. Smith, why do you say that?”

The man’s voice was low and slow, like an ice blade rubbing against one’s heart.

Louis, who had lost his mind, did not seem to be afraid at all. He looked at David’s hands wrapped around Rachel’s waist and sneered. “Do you know about my past relationship with her?”

“Of course I do,” David said calmly.

Louis frowned slightly. This answer exceeded his expectations. “You know? How did you know? Did she tell you, or did you investigate in private?”

David’s eyes were cold as if they were tempered with ice. His voice seemed to be soaked in the snow, revealing a coldness. “Mr. Smith is now angry from embarrassment. You must have realized that abandoning Rae-Rae for another woman who’s not worth it is the worst decision in your life.”

Louis clenched his fists at his sides and gritted his teeth inwardly. “If I discarded her, it only shows that she was not someone worth holding onto. It’s Mr. Jones who has truly been burdened by picking up the woman I left behind.”

That statement instantly confirmed all the vile speculations in everyone’s hearts.

Everyone looked at Rachel with disdain and mockery. They talked about her without hiding anything.
