Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 827

After chatting about the topic, Rachel and Miriam walked into the living room together.

At that moment, Arthur was sitting in front of the table and playing chess with Lucas.

Tom and Eleanor were on the phone. So, no one noticed Rachel and Miriam walking in.

Arthur and Lucas chatted casually from time to time. Arthur took the initiative to talk about Lucas’ wedding. “Lucas, do you have any thoughts about the wedding? The Waller family is a proper noble family. Miriam may feel wronged to marry into our the Johnson family, so we have to do our best to give her the best and the most dignified.”

Previously, Arthur had never thought of preserving the wealth and status of the Johnson family through a marriage alliance.

However, something had happened to Tom, which was undoubtedly a wake-up call for Arthur. Arthur realized that the Johnson family had a descendant who had dabbled in politics and that many people had been jealous of it.

Initially, Arthur wanted Rachel to be married off. This way, it could protect Rachel and achieve the Johnson family at the same time, which would make the best of both worlds.

Arthur had even started to select candidates in private for Rachel. Unexpectedly, Lucas stood out and proposed to seek a marriage alliance on his initiative.

Arthur knew very well that Lucas was protecting Rachel in every way. While he felt gratified, he knew in his heart that Lucas was trying to support Rachel.

For the Johnson family, it was a matter of time before it embarked on a marriage alliance.

Moreover, everyone knew very well that it did not matter if Lucas and his wife had affection for each other. As long as there was no problem with their standpoints, their marriage would form a permanent alliance for their two families.

However, the daughter of the Waller family in Nanope marrying into the Johnson family was far beyond Arthur’s expectations.

With the prestige of the Waller family in Nanope, the Johnson family was definitely out of its league. Therefore, all the Johnsons could do was give Miriam an absolutely dignified and affluent life. As for the rest, it depended on Lucas’ attitude.

There were not many mood swings on Lucas’s face. He fiddled with a chess piece with his fingertips and stared at the chessboard. “The wedding is just a formality. What can I do? I’ll just listen to her.”

It was an ordinary sentence, but it sounded especially harsh to Miriam.
