Chapter 588
Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David)
Chapter 588
The moment Louis heard Rachelâs voice, his heart started racing uncontrollably.
Unexpectedly, he felt an overwhelming sense of joy and excitement.
Rachel still cared about him, right?
Otherwise, why would she interfere?
He tightened his grip around the number sign he was holding. For a moment, he forgot to continue
bidding.
Seeing that he did not speak for a long time, Olivia could not help but turn to look.
When she saw his distracted look, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
She collected her thoughts before putting on a gentle expression. âLouis, why donât we forget about it?
Itâs just a ring.â
Louis came back to his senses. Looking at her forced smile, he frowned.
The conflict and struggle he was feeling were replaced by heartache and guilt. Determination appeared
in his eyes as he raised the sign in his hand and said, â1.4 million dollars!â
â1.6 million dollars!â Rachel refused to give up.
Hearing her voice, the people below the stage erupted into discussion again.
Everyone knew that Louis and Olivia were getting engaged soon.
Since this was the case, Louis must be buying this ring for Olivia.
However, Rachel kept stopping Louis. It was obvious that she did not want Louis to get the ring.
There were a lot of dignitaries and socialites from Seaxas in the audience. In the current situation, they
felt that they should not get involved and would just be onlookers.
As the price increased, Louisâs expression became more and more solemn.
Previously, Rachelâs decision to join the bid out of the blue made Louis feel that Rachel could not let go
of him, but now that she was continuing to bid, it made him feel annoyed.
At this moment, Olivia held his hand and said gently, âLouis, forget it. Thereâs no need to spend so
much money on me.â
The more obedient and sensible she acted, the more Louisâs heart ached.
He held Oliviaâs hand. âWhat are you talking about? Iâll never put a price tag on you.â
As he spoke, he raised the sign in his hand again. â2 million dollars!â
There was an uproar below the stage.
They all looked at Rachel expectantly.
Rachel crossed her legs and raised the sign in her hand. Her red lips parted as she calmly said, â4
million
dollars.â
It was 2 million dollars more than the last bid. Everyone praised Rachelâs boldness and felt sorry for
this woman who could not get who she loved.
So what if Rachel pestered Louis? It was a fact that Louis and Olivia were about to get engaged.
âThis woman really doesnât know whatâs good for her. Mr. Smith and Miss Cruise are about to be
engaged, yet sheâs still unwilling to give up. Sheâs really shameless.â
âSo greedy! This kind of woman often doesnât end up in a good place!â
âAs an ex-girlfriend, she should disappear from his sight. Why is she appearing in front of him? Is she
afraid that no one knows how she pestered the Smith family in the past?â
âSheâs from a small family after all and doesnât care about her reputation. I would never do something
as embarrassing as this.â
However, Cindy didnât think so. She couldnât wait for Rachel to be proven guilty of not giving up on
Louis.
How could a normal man tolerate his woman being obsessed with another man?
Not to mention a man like David Jones.
With his status, he could have any woman he wanted. How could he allow Rachel, who loved another
man, to continue staying by his side?
Thinking of this, Cindyâs eyes flickered. She took advantage of the fact that Rachel was bidding against
Louis again to defend Olivia.
âRachel, what is the meaning of this? You clearly know that Mr. Smith wants to buy that ring and give it
to Olivia, but you still wonât let go. Are you trying to make things difficult for them?â
âThatâs right. Mr. Smith and Miss Cruise are about to be engaged, but sheâs still pestering Mr. Smith.
Sheâs simply shameless!â
Rachel lowered her eyes and looked at Cindy below the stage mockingly. âSince itâs a charity auction,
everyone has the right to bid. I really donât know why youâre saying that Iâm not giving up.â
âYou know best whether youâre relentless or not!â Cindy snorted disdainfully. âWho doesnât know that
youâve been pestering Louis all these years and even threatened him with the companyâs future to
marry you? But what happened in the end? If itâs not meant to be, you canât force it. You were about to
marry hit, but he still abandoned you at the altar!â
Cindy thought that she was rubbing salt in Rachelâs wound. Little did Cindy know that when Louis.
abandoned Rachel and Rachel broke up with him, this relationship was already dead in Rachelâs eyes.
Sc um bags were just like trash. Why would Rachel take Louis seriously?
Why would Rachel still be hung up on Louis?
Rachel sighed faintly. She held her forehead and looked down at Cindy, who had a provocative
expression.
What should she do to accurately convey to everyone that Louis was meaningless to her?
âSince this is a charity auction, everyone is just doing their best to contribute. Is Miss Tory all worked up
because her wallet is empty?â Rachel asked.
Cindyâs face turned red.
The auction was more than halfway through. Most people had bought a few things, but Cindy had not
paid a single cent.
Cindy blushed in embarrassment and glared at Rachel.
Cindy initially wanted to embarrass Rachel in public, but she did not expect to be exposed by Rachel.
At this moment, she really wanted to tear Rachelâs mouth apart.
Rachelâs red lips curled up into a bright and moving smile. âIf you donât have money, shut up. No one
will pay to see you embarrass yourself, and even if they did, it wouldnât be a huge amount.â
Then, Rachel ignored Cindyâs glare and looked at Louis, âMr. Smith, 4 million dollars. Are you going to
continue bidding?â
At this point, everyoneâs eyes were on Louis. He had no way out.
He gritted his teeth and raised the number sign. â6 million dollars!â
âLouis!â Olivia looked at Louis in surprise.
Olivia thought that Louis would back off and did not expect him to yell out 6 million dollars!
He was going to spend 6 million dollars on just a diamond ring for her. This would definitely be in the
headlines tomorrow.
Rachel raised her eyebrow. âLooks like Mr. Smith is determined to get this ring. Although I still have
some money to spare, 6 million dollars for a diamond ring is too much for me, so Iâm withdrawing from
this bid.â
âI admire Mr. Smithâs strong support for philanthropy, I also wish him success. I think everyone here
should applaud and congratulate Mr. Smith.â
Rachel took the lead in clapping. Spa rse applause came from below the stage, but gradually,
thunderous. applause filled the entire hall.
