Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 855

Louis Smith panicked when Rachel Grey read his mind; he immediately denied it.

“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?”

Then she walked past Louis and headed to the office.

Louis watched her leave and clenched his fists. “Are you so anxious to cut ties with me because of David Jones?” he growled, feeling hurt.

Rachel stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him.

Then she casually tucked the stray hair behind her ear.

Rachel was enveloped in the warm sunshine, and the diamond ring on her finger reflected a dazzling glow under the light that pierced into Louis’s eyes, making him squint uncomfortably.

Rachel’s gesture spoke volumes even though she did not speak a word.

Louis understood what her ring represented, having been in a failed marriage himself.

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

That was no way the Smith family could measure up to him in terms of fortune and power.

Rachel gazed at Louis coldly. “Let bygones be bygones, Louis. We will go our separate ways and mind our own business as we move on. If you don’t listen to me, then…

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