Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 759

Tom’s face was grave as he looked deeply at Rachel. “Rae-Rae, listen to my advice and don’t get involved. I…”

“I can’t just sit by and do nothing.” Rachel’s gaze turned cold inch by inch, and an indiscernible emotion flickered in her eyes. “Are you saying you want to pretend to be muddle-headed? Or that you were deceived by Harold’s honest and

straightforward appearance? Or perhaps you’re saying you didn’t expect him to repay kindness with enmity?”

Tom’s heart skipped a beat when he heard her last sentence. “You… you found out?”

“Otherwise, why do you think I met with Harold?” Rachel’s eyebrows raised slightly, and an unfamiliar evil gaze flashed across her eyes.

Tom pressed his lips together and didn’t say anything.

When Harold appeared before him, he was indeed taken aback,

Perhaps out of compassion for Harold, Tom valued him more than his other assistants.

He even gave Harold more opportunities to shine, even though he knew that doing so would cause discontent among the other assistants.

However, something unexpected happened on that day. He brought Harold on a business trip to participate in a poverty alleviation project organized by the local government. During the event, he drank a lot.

On the way back to the hotel, he sensed that something was wrong, but he never imagined that Harold, who was on the business trip with him, would be the one who drugged him.

There was no truth to the allegation of bribery and behind-the-scenes dealings. since he never accepted any bribes from local merchants.

After hearing the whole story from Tom, Rachel asked again, “But you still haven’t answered my previous question.”

Tom seemed hesitant to answer this question.

Whenever he tried to answer, he would fall silent and refuse to respond.
