Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

“She’s not the only one who’s worried” Lucas walked over with one hand in his pocket. He reached out and took the sparkling wine from Zion. “Rachel can’t handle alcohol, so don’t give her this kind of drink”

Zion looked curiously at the glass of fruit wine Rachel was holding in her hands.

Fruit wine was more potent than sparkling wine.

And he said she could not handle liquor well?

However, having known Lucas for many years, Zion knew he was just trying to get Rachel out of a bind. Hence, he did not insist.

“Miss Grey, don’t forget what you promised me Zion reminded her as he raised the goblet in his hand and clinked it against Rachel’s.

Lucas frowned slightly and looked at Rachel “What did you promise him?”

Rachel thought for a moment. “Nothing much. I just promised to help him survey the new building developed by the Summers family.”

Upon hearing this, Lucas looked at her solemnly and gave her a stern reminder. “Don’t be so quick to agree to a stranger’s request. You never know if the other party is up to no good.”

Zion was speechless.

Lucas and his group attracted a lot of attention from the others.

After all, good-looking people like them always intrigued people.

Especially the alluring Rachel. She possessed a beauty so exquisite that she left a lasting impression on anyone who took just one glance at her.

Her impeccable face, slender figure, and that dignified and elegant aura turned heads wherever she went.

All the guests who attended the banquet came from great authority and status.

If they could meet their soul mate at the banquet, not only would it be an anecdote, but the two families could also ally.

Just as everyone was getting restless, David and the others had reached the bottom of the stairs and were slowly approaching the group.
