Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 854

The following day, Rachel Grey had breakfast after washing up and left for work.

However, she did not expect an uninvited guest to be waiting for her at the office entrance.

Rachel saw Louis Smith loitering in front of the office before she got out of her car.

She had not seen Louis since the bidding ended.

She thought Louis would be up to his eyeballs with the Smith family matters at hand. He would not be in the mood or have the time to wait for her here.

Rachel was spot on with her assumption.

The Smith family was now in a dire situation. Old Mr. Smith was still in a coma in the hospital, and everyone in the family lived in fear all day. They seemed harmonious on the surface but harbored ulterior motives against each other. They all wanted to take advantage of the elderly man on his deathbed to get more inheritance for themselves.

Louis would shuttle between work and the hospital tirelessly daily.

The crazy schedule finally took a beating on him, he was no longer as high-spirited and handsome as before.

However, Louis put himself together in a presentable manner before seeing Rachel.

It was human nature to reminisce, feeling heartbroken and repentant when one had lost and missed the past; Louis was no exception

He thought that Rachel was obsessed with marrying him back then because she eyed the Smith family’s fortune to help transform herself into a socialite in the upper-class circle.

However. Louis regretted when he learned that Rachel was, in fact, the heiress of the wealthiest family in Seaxas, the Johnson family. He realized how silly he behaved toward her previously. But it was already too late.

Being the heiress of the wealthiest family in Seaxas, Rachel never had to worry about anything in life since she was young. Why would she take fancy to the Smith family and its social status

Louis recalled her every word when they broke up. “Louis Smith, I didn’t cover anything other than you when we were together, and I don’t care about the Smith family’s wealth and glory. I also don’t care about becoming Mrs. Smith to be the envy in your social circle.”
