Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 855

“No, That’s not true. I-” he tried to defend himself.

“My time is precious. I don’t want to waste time talking nonsense with you, Rachel said without looking at him. “Let me give you a piece of advice, Louis. Instead of wasting your time and energy on me, why don’t you think about how the Smith family should proceed from now on?”

David, the Jones family’s patriarch in Aureliana, also had absolute authority in Seaxas’s underground forces.

She paused for a moment, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. “you will end up like the Grey family in Pollister.
