Chapter 791
Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia
Chapter 791 Rachel sighed helplessly âThen what do you want?
The woman raned her chun arrogantly and sized her up from top to bottom. There was a faint mocking smile at the corner of her eyes Tll give you two choices. Either help me restore this dress to its original state, or get out of the summit!â *So, youâre saying that if I canât restore the clothes on your body, youâll chase me out of the summit Rachel asked. The woman said firmly. âOf courseâ
At this moment. Noah slowly got up from the armchair and walked over. He looked at the womanâs back and lowered his gaze to hide the ridicule in his eyes. He said gently, âMiss Grey, why did you have to provoke Aileen, the heir of the Skysgate Group?
âMiss Grey, you donât know this, right? Our summit this time is sponsored by the Skysgate Group. With the strength of the Skysgate Group, itâs not an exaggeration to say that they control the entire economic lifeline of Cruesia. Even the delegation of the summit has to treat her politely.
âDo you know what will happen if you offend her?â
Hearing this, the surroundings were in an uproar.
When everyone saw Aileenâs arrogant attitude, they had some guesses in their hearts.
Those who could appear here were either rich or noble, but they didnât expect Aileen to be the heir of the topâtier Skysgate Group The Skysgate Group was a topâtier company in Crucsia. Not only did it have its own bank, but it also held shares in four other wellâknown banks.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Rachel with mockery and a hint of sympathy, âIâve long heard that the heir of the Skysgate Group is not to be trifled with. Of all the people she could have offended, why did she have to offend her?â
âThis summit is funded by the Skysgate Group. She must not be casually talking about chasing her out of the summit.â âIâm afraid itâs impossible for Johnson Corporation to make a name for themselves in this summit.â
Everyone spoke one after another, as if they had already foreseen the tragic ending of Rachel and the Johnson Corporation.
Under everyoneâs discussion, Noah sighed with a regretful expression. As long as she gives the order, she can easily cut off the money flowing into the Johnson Corporationâ
Rachel looked at Noahâs face, and a fleeting look of ridicule flashed in the depths of her eyes.
She would rather Noah gloat like the others instead of putting on an act.
At the very least, this would make him seem less... hypocritical.
Rachel took a deep breath and said, âThank you for your trouble, Mr. Jones. I have to go and tidy up Miss Dickinsonâs clothes now. Excuse me.â
After saying that, she walked past Noah without giving him a look.
Standing where he was, Noah tilted his head to look at Rachel who brushed past him. The smile on his face disappeared, but the ridicule in his eyes became more and more obvious.
He thought. âWithout David, how long can she continue to be this arrogant?â
When Rachel left, she could clearly sense Noahâs gaze on her.
It was sinister and vicious, like a venomous snake lying dormant in the depths of the grass, making people instinctively feel disgusted.
She walked out of the lounge and stood in front of the artificial rockery.
To bump up the atmosphere, not only had the organizers placed a bamboo forest near the rockery, but it was also designed to be covered in mist.
The mist fell on her body. It was cold and damp.
Noahâs words had left an impression in her heart.
The only person she could think of who could change the venue of the industry summit and bring it forward was David.
But why did David secretly change the venue of the summit?
What was he trying to hide from her?
She knew that Noah was trying to sow discord, but her intuition told her that Noah was not lying.
Chapter 791 Rachel frowned slightly. She was deep in thought, and it reflected in her almondâshaped eyes.
She collected her thoughts and shifted her gaze from the bamboo forest to Chris.
She did not know if her gaze was too sharp or if Chris was hiding something from her.
Sensing her gaze, Chris instinctively looked back, but her eyes flickered slightly. âMiss Grey, whatâs wrong?â
Rachel shook her head slightly. âNothingâ
As the two of them turned to leave, a man in black walked to Rachelâs side. âMiss Grey, the eldest daughter from my family invites you to come over.â
The manâs voice was neither loud nor soft, but the moment his tall and burly figure appeared, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
âAlright.â Rachel nodded.
Chris subconsciously followed behind Rachel, but she was stopped by the man in black just as she moved half a step. âIm sorry, she specially instructed Miss Grey to go alone.â
He deliberately emphasized the word âaloneâ as a reminder and a warning.
âWait for me here. Iâll be back soon.â
âBut...â Chris did not agree with Rachel going on her own. Moreover, the other party was clearly targeting her.
Rachel shook her head slightly. âItâs fine.â
Chrisâs expression was cold. She stood on the spot and watched silently as Rachel and the man in black left one after. another When the others saw this scene, they revealed gloating smiles.
This summit was a springboard for many people to become industry leaders. Therefore, everyone racked their brains in hopes of being recognized by the leaders.
This was a rare opportunity, and the quota was limited. They would naturally be happy if they could kick their competitors. out of the competition without any effort.
Rachel was led to the private room on the second floor by the man in black.
The man in black pushed open the door of the private room and said respectfully to Rachel, âMiss Grey, please come in.â
Rachel nodded slightly and walked in.
However, the private room was empty.
âI havenât seen you for so many years, but youâre still so childishâ Rachel stood at the door of the lounge. Through the mirror, she saw Aileen hiding behind the door, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
Aileen bent down and tiptoed. Her posture was as graceful as a cat walking on a steel wire rope.
Hearing her words, the interest in her eyes instantly dissipated, replaced by disappointment. âItâs been so many years, but youâre still so boring!â
Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly. She watched as Aileen grabbed the gown with both hands and kicked off her high heels.
She walked barefoot to the sofa and sat down. âWhy are you so far away? Come and sit down.â
Her tone was familiar as if they were good friends who had not seen each other for many years.
âThe heir of the Skysgate Group is not someone anyone can get acquainted with. Iâd better stand here obediently.â
âThe daughter of the Johnson family, the richest family in Seaxas. It takes one to know one.â There was a mischievous smile in Aileenâs eyes. She picked up the fruit platter on the table and held a silver crystal fruit fork in her fingers.
She raised her gaze and looked at Rachel, who was sitting in an armchair. Her gaze gradually softened. âTwelve, youâre really getting more and more beautiful.â
