Chapter 566
Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David)
Chapter 566
Currently, the Smith family seemed to be in Louisâ hands. But in reality, everything was in the hand of
Old Mr. Smith.
As long as Old Mr. Smith came forward to finalize it, the marriage between the Cruise family and the
Smith family would be considered successful.
âIâm afraid he wonât come,â Olivia said.
Moreover, Old Mr. Smith was probably the person in the Smith family who objected to her being with
Louis the most.
Back then, when Olivia returned to Crucsia to visit Old Mr. Smith personally, she was rejected by him
with the excuse that he was unwell. It was obvious that he did not like her.
After that, so many things happened. She even heard with her own cars that Old Mr. Smith was going
to transfer the shares under his name to Rachel.
In Old Mr. Smithâs heart, Rachel was probably the most suitable candidate for his grandson Louisâ wife.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have delayed Louisâ engagement with her.
Olivia sighed softly with a worried look on her face. âIll be glad if he doesnât object to my engagement to
Louis.â
âObject?! What right does he have to object?â Richard snorted and put out the cigarette in his hand. He
looked up at Olivia. âIn the past, you were only the lady of the Cruise family, but things are different
now. Donât forget, youâre still Marinaâs (god daughter) now! Old Mr. Smith has always valued benefits
the most. As long as you have this identity, I think the Smith family will be very happy that youâre willing
to marry into their family and theyâll hold your wedding in a grand manner.â
Hearing this, Oliviaâs eyes twin kled with joy.
That was right. How could she have forgotten that she had such a crucial identity?
Now that she was Marinaâs (go d daughte), countless people were rushing to curry favor with her.
As long as Marina was around, she would be the most respected person in the entire Seaxas.
Not to mention Louis, she thought she could even match the owner of the Sandalwood Hills.
âCall Louis now and ask his parents out for dinner tonight. We can gather together to discuss your
marriage,â said Richard.
Olivia answered, âGot it, Dad.â
A relaxed and shy smile finally appeared on Oliviaâs face.
At this moment, the assistant walked in from outside.
He looked at Richard hesitantly.
âGo to my study.â Richard took the lead and stood up.
The assistant followed closely behind.
After closing the door of the study, the assistant quickly reported, âMr. Cruise, we sent more than ten
people, but the results are the same. They said that they couldnât find anything.â
Rachel was really a strange woman.
She was clearly in Seaxas, but Richard and his men could not find anything about her. She was like a
lonely soul wandering in Se**as.
Upon hearing the assistantâs words, Richard frowned even more and his voice could not help but
become serious. âSince we canât find anything, send someone to follow her secretly!â
Hearing this, the assistant pursed his lips but did not say anything.
Why? Donât you even know where she lives?â Richard berated angrily.
The assistant looked at the expression on his face and hesitated for a while before saying carefully, âI
did find out where she lives, butâ¦â
âBut what?â Richard asked angrily.
The assistant hesitated and said, â⦠She lives in Sandalwood Hills.â
Richard stared at his assistant without blinking. âWhat did you say? Where does she live?â
âSandalwood Hillsâ¦â The assistant answered in a low voice.
Apart from Johnsonâs Mansion, where the richest family, the Johnson family resided in Seaxas,
Sandalwood Hills was considered the only building that could compete with Johnsonâs Mansion.
It was rumored that any flower in Sandalwood Hills was worth hundreds of thousands or even millions
of dollars, not to mention the various rare treasures inside.
Everyone was curious about Sandalwood Hillsâs owner.
However, without exception, everyone returned emptyâhanded.
But now, Rachel was able to move in so easily and enter at will. It was truly unbelievable.
Richard sat on the chair and supported his chin with his fingers. The pads of his thumbs and index
fingers rubbed against each other.
His expression gradually turned solemn as he narrowed his eyes.
Could it be that Rachel was Sandalwood Hillsâs owner?
Was that why the Cruise family had been defeated repeatedly at this press conference and had almost
lost completely?
If Rachel was really Sandalwood Hillsâs owner and had such deep financial resources, she could have
taken this opportunity to destroy the Cruise family. Why would she be magnanimous at such a critical
moment?
This was really unreasonable.
After pondering for a long time, Richard said again, âContinue to send people to follow her. Remember,
donât act rashly unless itâs absolutely necessary.â
âIâm afraid it wonât work,â the assistant said awkwardly. âWe lost contact with our men half an hour ago.â
âLost contact?â Richard could not hide the shock on his face.
The assistant nodded. âMr. Cruise, Rachel is really strange. Letâs just wait and see whatâll happen.â
Richard did not answer immediately. He looked up at the assistant for a long time and waved his hand.
âIâll let you go.â
Rachel had made an appointment with Lucas to go to the military region yesterday, so she packed up
and left early in the morning.
When she arrived at the military regionâaffiliated hospital in the Lucasâ car, she couldnât help but frown
to say, âWeâre recording materials here?â
âWho knows.â Lucas said, âSince youâre already here, come down and take a look.â
Brendaâs brother, Karen Duncan, had been waiting at the door to show his sincerity.
When he saw Rachel open the car door and get out, he quickly went up to greet her. âMiss Grey, sorry
to trouble you this time.â
âNo problem,â Rachel replied in neither a servile nor overbearing manner.
Out of the corner of her eye, her gaze inadvertently fell on Karenâs epaulet. It was with two lines and
two
stars.
It was a pity that he was a bit older. Otherwise, the legend that Lucas created in the military region
would have been shattered by this man in front of her.
âWhatâs going on here?â Lucas had one hand in his pocket. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the
group of people standing not far away.
Karen thought of what had happened not long ago, and a coldness appeared in his eyes. âDuring this
exercise, a soldier fell from a height. His collarbone was broken and his wrist was also fractured. The
military region doctor said he could not help. Ever since Mr. Hernandez retired, there are very few.
people who are proficient in orthopedic massage. And Mr. Hernandezâs old, we canât trouble him rashly.
In addition, over the years, more people have chosen modern medicine. It just so happened that when I
was talking with the instructor, our captain suddenly mentioned you, so I rushed to come to you.â
As he spoke, his gaze could not help but fall on Rachel with a hint of obscure and complicated
affection.
If Rachel had not suddenly changed her mind back then, she might have been the creator of another
myth.
She was Boyce Hernandezâs personal disciple.
âWho is the injured soldier? Why is he so highly valued?â Lucas said as he looked meaningfully at the
few big shots who were conversing not far away.
These few big shots would not easily show their faces.
The sharpshooter, Oscar Scott,â Karen said to Lucas. The legends you created previously were all
broken by him.â
Lucas chuckled. âNo wonder,â
As they spoke, the three of them walked to the ward.
When the doctor saw Rachel, he was slightly stunned.
This woman was the expert that Captain Karen had found?
However, since Karen had personally invited this woman, they did not dare to be negligent and
explained the patientâs injuries in detail.
âHow is it? Are you confident?â Lucas asked.
Rachel glanced at him. âIâll do my best.â
