Filed to story: Betrayal At The Altar Novel Free PDF (Rachel Grey & Louis Smith) >>
In Olivia’s eyes, Rachel was nothing more than a country bumpkin with a haughty demeanor, which was truly annoying. On second thought, the only thing Rachel could boast about was Louis. However, Louis, unfortunately, abandoned Rachel and chose her instead.
“What’s the point of spending three years with Louis?” Olivia thought. “What’s the use of making significant contributions to the Smith Group? “She is still no match for the place I hold in Louis’s heart.
“This woman is destined to be trampled under my feet and defeated by me!”
“Why did you suddenly come out when you should be resting at home?” Louis lowered his gaze and looked at Olivia with a hint of concern and tenderness in his expression.
Olivia came back to her senses after being lost in thought. A gentle smile crept up on her lips. “I know you’ve been worried about the Green family withdrawing their investment,” she said. “I don’t understand much about business matters, but I did what I could to help you. I went and asked my dad for help. This is the investment proposal he drafted. He’s willing to invest in the Shallow Bay project. If everything looks good, please sign it.”
“Really?” A hint of joy finally appeared on Louis’s melancholic face. He tightly held Olivia’s hand and kissed it. “Olivia, you’re my lucky star.”
A glimmer of light flashed in Olivia’s eyes. She calmly shifted the conversation to Rachel. “Louis, Rachel has just been discharged from the hospital,” she said. “Even if there is work to be done, you should be more considerate of her.”
Mentioning Rachel caused Louis’s smile to fade slightly. He looked up at the back of Rachel as she left, feeling a sense of loss and regret.
Rachel left without any hesitation or reluctance, completely cutting off the relationship between them and not leaving him any chance to save it.
Louis briefly mentioned Rachel’s resignation. His gaze gradually became cold. There seemed to be a layer of ice between his eyebrows. “Since she wants to leave, I won’t force her to stay,” he said. “I just hope she won’t regret it in the future.”
Even though he had abandoned Rachel at their wedding ceremony, he never thought about driving her out of the company. While he did have any personal feelings for her, he had to admit that she was effective and efficient worker.
Rachel’s sudden resignation had caught him off guard, but he did not feel particularly reluctant to let her go.
However, since her attitude was resolute, he did not have to forcefully persuade her to stay.
He wanted to see how Rachel would survive in Seaxas without any relatives or connections after leaving the Smith Group and him.
When Rachel walked out of the Smith Group building, she happened tosee Adrian adjusting his tie, holding a briefcase, and exuding a stern and austere murderous aura. It was as if he would have charged into the Smith Group’s building to carry out a massacre if she had been a minute later.
The moment Adrian saw Rachel, his eyes grew colder. A trace of worry appeared in his eyes. He sized her up and asked eagerly, “Did that scumbag make things hard for you?”
He was clearly overprotective.
A warm and fuzzy feeling surged in Rachel’s heart, and a trace of joy appeared on her cold and aloof face. She answered, “No. Besides, I can cope with this trivial matter on my own.”
Adrian looked up at the Smith Group with a trace of mockery in his eyes. “The Smith Group actually abandoned you for a lowly starlet, huh? Is that all they’re capable of?”
Hearing the remarks Adrian made about Olivia, Rachel couldn’t help but raise her brows.
Lowly starlet…
After all these years of being in the entertainment industry, Olivia was almost an A–list celebrity and one of the top four most popular actresses. However, despite her achievements, the Johnson family still thought she wasn’t worthy enough.
The only reason was that the Johnson family was incredibly powerful and rich. As for their status…
Even now, no one could replace them as the richest family in Seaxas.
“Let’s go home,” Adrian said as he took Rachel’s hand and turned around to get inside the car. “Sir even called to ask about you just now. He misses you.”
Rachel nodded. When she bent forward and was about to get inside the call, she made a call to someone. “Deal with the footage of the surveillance cameras at the Smith Group,” she instructed.
She didn’t want to leave behind any traces that Louis could take advantage of.
From now on, there was longer a Rachel Grey who fought for love, only Rachel Grey, the heiress of the Johnson family, the richest in Seaxas.
In fact, Old Mr. Johnson was not the only one who missed Rachel. There was also David, who was far away in the conference room of the Stellar Corporation.
In the conference room on the 88th floor of the building, everyone was engulfed by an intense and massive sense of oppression. It was like a huge cloud looming over everyone’s heads.
The department executives in the conference room were sitting upright, not daring to take a breath at all for fear that they would completely anger the big shot in the master seat.
It was said that people newly appointed to positions of responsibility tended to make far–reaching changes. This young and powerful CEO was not only not to be underestimated, but his methods were also resolute and menacing. On the day he assumed his new position. he got rid of all the directors who threw their weight around because of their seniority.
His menacing ways were also the reason that everyone in the office had a new understanding of him.
The department manager standing at the rostrum had just gingerly finished the performance report. Even after a long time, he still didn’t get any remarks from the CEO.
Time passed by, minute after minute and second after second. The department manager’s forehead was covered in sweat. He bit his teeth and shuddered uncontrollably.
A second before his knees went weak to where he couldn’t help but kneel and beg for mercy, the department manager looked at Eddie, who was standing next to David.
Eddie raised his hand to push the glasses up his nose bridge before bending slightly forward and asking softly, “Sir…”
David suddenly looked up, his eyes dark and cold as ice. The slightest eye contact with him gave one the chills.
“Mr. Justin has finished reporting. He’s waiting for your instructions,” Eddie said.
After hearing his words, David finally returned to his senses and flipped through the documents in his hand. He said in a cold and deep voice, “The amounts in the budget are not marked clearly enough. Go to the finance department later and type out the breakdown of statements in detail.”
“Yes,” the department manager hurriedly agreed. He felt a great sense of relief as if he had been spared from death.
David didn’t say anything else afterward. Eddie couldn’t help but size him up.
David looked down, vaguely distracted.
His eyes rolled. He suddenly bent over to whisper in David’s ears, “Mr. Jones, Miss Grey’s resignation procedures should be almost completed. Do you need me to go check on it?”
David looked up and glanced at him indifferently.
Eddie immediately understood. “I’ll get to it right now.”
Ten minutes later, Eddie entered the conference room with a gloomy expression on his face. A cold breeze blew in, causing the temperature in the conference room to plunge to zero.
It seemed that someone ignorant had angered David again.
Eddie sorted out his feelings before eagerly walking toward David and handing him the electronic tablet. “Sir, take a look at this.”
David took the tablet, only to see the scene of Rachel entering the Smith Group.
Staring at the woman’s slender body, David asked with an austere gaze, “Was her resignation successful?”
“Yeah,” Eddie said, not daring to hide any details of Rachel’s resignation. He gave a clear explanation of everything to David. However, toward the end, he began stuttering a little.
David frowned and glared daggers at Eddie.
Eddie cleared his throat and said carefully, “We couldn’t find any traces of where Miss Grey went. After she left the Smith Group, the surveillance cameras within the vicinity all malfunctioned.”
That could only mean that someone had deliberately hidden the details of where Rachel went.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, there seemed to be a massive snowstorm in the conference room.
With a sullen gaze in his eyes and his lips pressed tightly together, David exuded a terrifying sense of oppression.
When he sensed the man’s austere aura, Eddie, who stood at the side, couldn’t help but have a layer of tiny sweat droplets break out on his forehead.
He knew that David was really exasperated.
