Chapter 345
Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David)
âI will give you the stars in the sky, but I still feel that the stars in the sky are inferior to you.â
Davidâs tone was very flat as if he was saying something very ordinary.
A hint of a smile appeared in Rachelâs eyes. âIs this really your first time chasing a
woman?â
âOf course,â David replied firmly.
However, with his skillful approach, it was difficult for Rachel not to be suspicious.
David, who was on the other end of the line, seemed to read her mind. There was a hint of a smile in
his low and mellow voice. âIt seems that I did a good job.â
âItâs so good that I canât help but wonder,â Rachel said.
âItâs not enough.â
âYes?â
âIâll only be satisfied when you pledge to marry me, Miss Grey.â
âThen youâll have to work harder.â
âDefinitely!â
After hanging up, Rachel was called back to the company.
Her company was currently rolling out an idea that combined ecoâparks and resorts, a theme that fitted
in with Smith Groupâs project.
In terms of the companyâs strength and influence, Johnson Corporation was always ready.
But in terms of the idea of the resort and the ecoâpark, the Smith Group was much more mature than
Johnson Corporation.
After all, Smith Group was able to break through and get back on track because of the âHoraleâ resort
concept.
âMahue Group is in charge of the planning of the ecoâpark. It would be great if we could pull Mhue
over.â
âThis is impossible.â
âThatâs right. Mahue Group and Smith Group have been working together for a long time. They wonât
agree to us.â
Amidst the discussion, Rachel suddenly said, âIâll take care of it.â
As soon as she said that, everyoneâs eyes landed on Rachel.
Mr. Zane of Mahue Group was the investment she had pulled over for the Smith family.
As far as she knew, one scandal after another in Smith Group caused a lot of resentment for Mr. Zane.
Therefore, she was confident that she could persuade Mr. Zane.
And the charity auction happened to be an opportunity!
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the charity banquet.
Rumor had it that Mr. Zane and his wife Sophie fell in love with each other at first sight when they were
on the same cruise ship when they were young.
Later on, in order to get the beauty back, Mr. Zane left Pollister and settled down in Seaxas.
Therefore, the auction this time was not only on the cruise ship, but the route was also the same one
as Mr. Zane was on when he met his wife back then.
The two of them could be considered to have taken this opportunity to revisit the old place. The guests
could also take this opportunity to witness their love.
Although the Zane family in Pollister was not famous, Mr. Zaneâs wife, Sophie, came from a prestigious
family.
Her ancestors had been politicians, but they had drifted into business, but there were still members of
her family who were active in the military.
In addition, Mrs. Zane and Eleanor, the eldest daughter of the Page family in Seaxas, one of the Four
Families, were official friends. The two families had been interacting all these years.
A steady stream of guests came to attend, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to get in touch
with Mr. Zaneâs wife.
The cruise ship stopped in front of the dock, and expensive luxury cars stopped one after another.
Gorgeously dressed ladies stepped out of the car, bringing the splendor of jewels.
The security guards stopped the reporters, but they still couldnât stop them from taking pictures with
cameras enthusiastically.
âRaeâRae, how about sharing the same room with me tonight?â Eleanor held her hand.
Rachel thought of Davidsâs previous threat. His eyes flickered slightly, and he said without changing his
expression, âEleanor, Iâm not a good sleeper. Iâd better stay in the room next to yours.â
Knowing that girls had their own privacy when they grew up, Eleanor, as their aunt, did not continue to
force them.
âIâll take you over to say hello.â
âOkay.â
Rachel silently followed Eleanor with a glass of wine in her hand.
