Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 855

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

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.

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

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.
