Filed to story: Betrayal At The Altar Novel Free PDF (Rachel Grey & Louis Smith)
Louis stared at Rachel, trying to see sadness or anger in her eyes.
However, her expression remained cold and indifferent, as if she was facing a stranger. This made Louis feel an indescribable sense of loss.
Could it be that she could really let go of three years of feelings so easily?
Or was it because of the man who appeared in Best Fry?!
“Rae–Rae, you’re crazy!” Mary strode to Rachel’s side and said under her breath, “How can you sell them the gown? Do you know that this adulterous couple is planning to get engaged?”
In her opinion, not being able to have something she wanted must be killing Olivia.
Therefore, Mary would rather cut the gown into pieces than sell it to Olivia to make her happy!
However, Rachel did not think so. She would be the one who lost out by cutting the clothes into pieces. The best way was to make Olivia pay the price.
Since Olivia chose to be a sucker, there was no reason for Rachel to stop her.
“Mr. Smith, you’re willing to spend huge sums to make your girl smile. Of course, I have to fulfill your wish.” Rachel raised her eyebrows and looked at Louis with a faint smile. “Mr. Smith, are you going back on your word?”
Rachel knew Louis’s ridiculous self–esteem.
He was used to being looked up to by everyone, so how could he allow others to question him?
Louis’s handsome face revealed a hint of coldness. He stared at Rachel with a deep gaze.
Rachel met his gaze fearlessly and said, her voice dripping with sarcasm, “Mr. Smith was so imposing just now, but now you’re hesitating. It seems that the so–called first love is nothing much in your heart.”
“O–one million dollars?” Jane almost fainted on the spot when she heard this price. She glared at Rachel and snapped, “One million dollars for a gown! Rachel, you’re blackmailing! Why don’t you just go to the streets to rob!”
Rachel chuckled. “Because I have a more reasonable method to get money than daylight robbery? Mr. Smith, have you made up your mind?”
Louis took a deep look at Rachel. His jawline tightened and he finally took out his bank card.
Mary raised her chin and a shop assistant immediately took the bank card.
“Mr. Smith, you’re so generous.” Rachel said, “Then I’ll wish your love for each other last forever.”
For some reason, when she heard Rachel’s blessing, a saying that “a jerk and a bitch are perfectly matched” popped into Mary’s mind.
This was the perfect blessing for Louis and Olivia in front of her.
One was a complete jerk, while the other was a bitch.
Before Louis turned to leave, he could not help but cast a glance at Rachel.
Rachel remained where she was. Her innate cold and arrogant air gave off an aura that made her unapproachable.
When he had just broken up with Rachel, there was always a lingering fear in Louis’s heart. He was worried that Rachel would pester him. However, after they parted from each other, Rachel did not show any attachment for him or nostalgia.
Logically speaking, Louis was supposed to be happy, but there was an indescribable sense of loss in his heart.
Seeing that Louis was a little distracted, Olivia held his arm and said, “Louis, thank you for doing all this for me. I’m really happy and touched.”
The only flaw was that he saw Rachel here!
Louis said absent–mindedly, “As long as you like it.”
Mary felt disgusted as she looked at the lovey–dovey couple. “What a pity for the gown.”
“It’s not a pity to sell it for ten times the price.”
“Well, we made them spend so much for the wedding gown. I gotta say I do feel much better.”
As the two of them spoke, they turned around and walked upstairs.
At this moment, Louis’s voice suddenly sounded from behind. “Rachel, remember to attend Grandpa’s 80th birthday on time.”
Rachel’s footsteps paused slightly, but she did not turn around to look at him, nor did she give him any response.
However, Louis’s words aroused Mary’s curiosity. “Didn’t you break up with the Smith family? Besides, the Smith family disliked you so much back then. Why did they invite you to the old man’s birthday banquet now?”
Rachel hid her identity then and followed Louis back to the Smith family. None of the Smith family members took a fancy to her. It was okay if they mocked her behind her back, but they also prohibited her from participating in public events, claiming it was not good for girls to expose themselves publicly. After all, they were just worried they would be embarrassed because Rachel was a country bumpkin everyone mocked.
Rachel said, “Old Mr. Smith gave me something back then. After returning it, we’re even.”
“It’s a pity that Old Mr. Smith had a discerning eye back then.” Mary sighed softly. “But my heart is always in a mess. I’m worried these ingrates will cause trouble during the birthday banquet.”
Rachel glanced at her and said lightly, “As long as they’re not afraid of a happy celebration turning into a funeral.”
After leaving the studio, Rachel returned to the company.
First, she held a two–hour meeting for the land of South Valley. Then, she returned to her office to continue working.
Unknowingly, the sun slowly set in the west.
At this moment, Linda pushed the door open and walked in. She stood before Rachel and said respectfully, “Ms. Grey, Mr. Ken Justin said he has something very important to see you about.“–
Rachel frowned. It was not because she was disgusted by Ken Justin’s appearance but because of the inexplicable pain in her abdomen.
She adjusted her breathing slightly and pressed her palm hard on her abdomen. Her tone was no different from usual. “Tell him he doesn’t have to see me if it’s not urgent.”
Linda responded and turned to leave the office.
The office door closed. Rachel bent her back in a sorry state and pressed harder on her abdomen. Her hand on the table clenched into a fist.
After an unknown period of time, the pain gradually eased.
She slowly straightened up and took a deep breath. Then she poured a cup of hot water and sipped it.
At first, she thought that it was an old problem of stomach pain. She drank a little hot water and rested for a while to relieve it. However, the colic pain came again when she was about to get off work, leaving her to realize this might not be a simple stomach pain.
At this moment, her phone suddenly rang. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to get her phone.
However, the sharp pain attacked her again like a blunt knife stirring in her stomach. It was so painful that she let out a muffled groan. Her knees went limp, and she fell to the ground.
When she fell, she accidentally overturned the phone on the table.
“Rae–Rae…” A man’s cold and gentle voice came from the phone, softening the radio wave’s coldness.
Rachel curled up on the ground in pain. She pressed her hands tightly on her abdomen, her entire body trembling uncontrollably. She tried her best to take a deep breath to make her voice not sound so incoherent. “Da, David…”
She did not know if David had heard her voice, but the call was hung up.
She resisted the pain and tried to call the emergency number, but her hands trembled uncontrollably. The pain eroded her consciousness, and her mind gradually became muddled.
Just as she was in a daze from the sharp pain, she vaguely saw Linda push the door open and enter. When Linda saw her lying on the ground, she rushed forward in shock. “Ms. Grey, Rae–Rae…”
Rachel struggled to open her eyes. When she saw Linda appear, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. “I, I’m fine…”
Before she could finish speaking, her vision darkened, and she completely lost consciousness.
“Rae–Rae!” A familiar voice sounded in her ear. The calm voice was slightly trembling.
Rachel thought she had probably been poisoned by a poison called David Jones.
Otherwise, why would she hear David’s voice?
How could she feel him carrying her in his arms?
The man’s woody fragrance enveloped her as if she was not hallucinating.
Rachel’s eyelashes trembled. She wanted to open her eyes, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not open them. Her consciousness gradually fell into endless darkness.
When she woke up again, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment.
