Chapter 298
Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia
Chapter 298 Old Mr. Smithâs Subtlety Although Rachel was aggressive, as the boss of Johnson Corporation, she could not do as she pleased too much.
âBut those few slaps of yours just now were really too satisfying! I felt. comfortable watching from the side.â As Mary spoke, she suddenly thought of something, and a trace of hesitation flashed across her eyes. âHowever, Iâm worried that the Smith family and the Cruise family will find trouble with. you, especially the Smith family...â
Actually, Mary hated people like Old Mr. Smith the most.
Old Mr. Smith was full of fake benevolence and morality. He pretended to be benevolent, but he was actually full of shrewd schemes.
Rachel looked calm and indifferent. âThe Smith family is dispensable to me.â In the past, Rachel had been very sincere to the Smith family only because she mistook Louis for someone she had been searching for.
For the sake of Louis, Rachel tried her best to tolerate everyone in the Smith. family.
But Rachel would not that stupid anymore.
Rachel would not show mercy to Louis, much less tolerate the Smith family.
When Mary heard this, she felt a little relieved. âAlthough we didnât buy clothes, you taught those two bitches a hard lesson. This trip wasnât a loss.â
As they were talking, Eddie in a suit and leather shoes walked over.
Eddie walked up to them and called out respectfully, âHello, Miss Grey, Miss Green.â
Mary was puzzled and looked at Eddie. âDo we know each other?â
However, Mary had no impression of the man in front of her.
Eddie said, âYouâre Miss Greyâs best friend.â
In other words, thanks to Rachel, the man knew something about Eddie.
Rachel raised her eyebrows calmly. âWhy are you here?â
âMr. Jones asked me to pick you up,â said Eddie.
As Eddie spoke, he moved aside slightly, and Rachel saw the familiar black RollsâRoyce Phantom.
As the car door opened, the man stepped out of the car.
A tall and slender figure stood in front of the car. His face was deep and threeâdimensional, like a work of art. His entire body exuded a dazzling and noble aura.
Even if he just stood there without saying a word, he gave off a feeling that others needed to look up to him.
Mary could not help but sigh in her heart. Such a topânotch man could crush that little trash Louis in minutes.
At this moment, Rachel walked up to David with a smile. Her charming eyes flickered with light.
Before Rachel spoke, David reached out and hugged Rachelâs slender waist. âDoes your hand hurt?â
A cold and gentle voice sounded from above. Rachel shook her head. âNo, how could I be injured?â
âThe effect of strength is mutual. How can it not hurt? Youâre just used to being strong alone.â David held Rachelâs hand and kneaded it gently. âNow that you have me, you donât have to be so strong.â
When Rachel heard it, her heart could not help but ripple.
This man could always easily poke the softest spot in Rachelâs heart.
Rachel pursed her lips and calmed herself down. She tried her best to maintain a steady tone. âWhy are you here? Didnât you say you would only be back after a week?â
Rachel had thought that she would have to wait a few more days before she could see David.
âYou donât want to see me?â David raised his eyebrows and a faint smile appeared on his lips. His bottomless eyes were filled with a faint gentleness.
âI wish you could always stay by my side.â
When David heard this, his eyes instantly darkened. Like the sea that could not be seen in the middle of the night, the surging waves were hidden in the depths.
Rachel looked at the man in front of her. Davidâs eyes were bloodshot and there was a faint ruthlessness under his eyes. Clearly, he had lost his usual vigor.
Rachelâs heart ached as she touched Davidâs face. âAre you tired?â
David held Rachelâs hand and pressed it tightly against his face. When David felt the warmth of Rachelâs palm, his Adamâs apple bobbed. âA little.â
âCome. Letâs go home,â Rachel said and held Davidâs hand as they got into the car.
Mary, who had been left behind, was speechless.
Was Mary really that insignificant?
Rachel actually abandoned her best friend when she saw her boyfriend?
