Chapter 228 Suffer For Your Happiness?

Louis slowly lowered his eyes and said softly, “I’m sorry…”

However, before Louis could finish speaking, Rachel raised her hand and slapped Louis hard on the

face.

“You’ve let me down more than once! All these years, I’ve been strategizing and working so hard for

the Smith family, but how did you treat me?” Rachel’s eyes were filled with hostility. “Now that the Smith

family has come under criticism, you pushed me out to divert everyone’s attention. You didn’t hesitate

to leak my privacy and slander me unscrupulously!”

“Have you forgotten that if it weren’t for me back then, the Smith family wouldn’t have become the new

rich of Seaxas? It is all because of me that the Smith family enjoys endless glory now. Without me, the

Smith family is nothing!”

Hearing this, Louis‘ expression tightened. He pursed his lips and muttered softly, “I’m sorry…”

“Shut up!” Rachel shouted coldly. She raised her hand and slapped Louis hard on the face.

Louis‘ head tilted to one side. There was a clear palm print on his cheek, but he did not dodge at all.

“I’ve said it before. I don’t covet anything from the Smith family, nor do I care about the ridiculous title of

Mrs. Smith! But you’ve hurt me again and again! Now, you’re using such a despicable method to frame

me, yet you try to brush it off with the excuse of Jane being young and insensible. I’m curious if there’s

something wrong with this heiress of the Smith family, who’s in her early twenties. Has she not grown

any smarter since her childhood? Is that why you can be self–righteous and justify her mistake by

claiming she’s young?”

Louis understood the implication in Rachel’s words. His expression changed slightly as he looked at

Rachel with a gloomy gaze.

“Rachel, the Smith family has let you down in this matter. I’m willing to make it up to you as much as

possible. I hope you’ll show mercy and not hold it against Jane. Moreover, if this matter blows up, we’ll

all be embarrassed, right?”

Upon hearing this, Rachel sneered unceremoniously. “Are you planning to use coercion now that

reconciliation doesn’t work?”

Louis frowned. “You know that’s not what I meant…”

“What do you mean then?” Rachel interrupted Louis with a domineering attitude. “You offered me a

bank card and a hypocritical apology, and I had to accept it? Or am I expected to be magnanimous

because of your apology and forgive the Smith family for doing such a despicable thing?”

“Can I take it that you guys created such a farce online to force me to submit. and let the Smith family

do whatever they want?”

Louis looked at the aggressive Rachel in front of him, and his patience gradually ran out. “Rachel, can

you calm down? Why can’t you listen to me calmly? When will you be as considerate as Olivia?”

“Considerate? Why must I suffer to make you guys happy?” Rachel sneered. “Then I’m afraid I’ll have

to disappoint you. I’ve always been a vindictive person! Back then, I made the Smith family successful.

That gave you the confidence to test my bottom line repeatedly. But now, I regret it!”

“You have my word. I’ll do my best to get the Smith family back to what it

was!”

Rachel’s words sounded firmly in Louis‘ ears.

Every word was like a thunderclap that exploded in Louis‘ chest. Louis‘ pupils trembled violently as he

looked at Rachel with a complicated expression.

However, Rachel put her phone in her bag without any hesitation and turned

around to leave.

Yet, when Rachel bent down to get into the car, she suddenly thought of something and stopped in her

tracks.

Rachel turned slightly and asked coldly, “Louis, have you been to Phareborough?”
