Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 21
Mary snorted, her eyes filled with sarcasm, “What can I do? I just want to kindly remind you that being a homewrecker shows
one’s bad character, and no one would bless them even if they truly love each other. Moreover, Miss Cruise is a public figure.
Have you imagined what will happen to the Smith Group once the affair between you two is exposed? Can the Shallow Bay
project go smoothly with that?”
Hearing her words, Louis’s face immediately turned sullen.
He had a hard time bringing the Smith Group back to life and getting it back on track. No mistakes would be allowed at this
crucial moment.
The directors of the Smith Group already had a problem with Louis because of the sudden withdrawal of the Green family. If
Louis‘ affair with Olivia brought a negative impact on the company, the directors would definitely regard Louis as the culprit.
After that, Louis might even be dislodged.
His affair with Olivia might not be a piece of breaking news, but once known to the public, it would also whip up public opinion.
At the thought of it, Louis furrowed his eyebrows imperceptibly, and his gaze toward Mary revealed a glimpse of darkness and
coldness. He asked Mary in a steely voice, “Who the hell are you?”
“Mr. Smith, now, I’m really starting to doubt whether you are a competent CEO or not.” Mary looked askance at Louis with
mockery in her eyes and added, “I can’t believe you know nothing about your company’s former investor.”
As Mary spoke, she exchanged glances with Rachel.
Rachel then let out a faint sigh and said lightly, “This is Ms. Mary Green.”
Louis knew clearly what the word “Green” represented.
His eyes opened wide suddenly, and he stared at Mary incredulously.
The shock in his eyes gradually turned into raging anger, and his gaze, as sharp as a knife, shot toward Rachel. He gritted his
teeth and said slowly, “So, it was you who sowed discord between us!”

“You’re wrong.” Mary chimed in, explaining, “At first, I agreed to cooperate with the Smith Group merely for Miss Grey’s sake.
Now, I go

back on my word purely because of my disdain for the homewrecker.”
Hearing the words, Louis pinched his lips tightly, his dark eyes staring intently at Mary.
When perceiving the hostility in Louis‘ eyes, Rachel slightly moved to shield Mary behind her.
Rachel then looked at Louis with unusually cold eyes and spoke in an indifferent tone, “I, Rachel Grey, always do my business
fair and square. I can think of multiple ways to retaliate against you, so I don’t have to use the sneaky trick behind your back. I
didn’t pay you back before, not for my remaining love for you but for throwing away the misfortunes of meeting you. So, before I
change my mind, hurry up to leave now, or...” Her gaze inadvertently swept over Olivia’s face before she warned with a stern
look, “I don’t mind letting you two be a star–crossed couple!”
Louis‘ face darkened promptly with a hint of ruthlessness in his deep eyes. “Did you just threaten me?” he asked.
“She was just telling you the truth.”
A low deep voice suddenly sounded behind them.
The crowd in the ward subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
The person had exquisite features and deep eyes. Even the gold–rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose failed to hide the
coldness in his eyes.
He walked directly toward Rachel with his straight and slender legs. The hem of his black windbreaker swayed slightly in mid–air
as he strode in with a carefree calmness in his reserved temperament.
Rachel was glued to the spot, gazing dazedly at Adrian.
She thought, “Why does my little uncle Adrian come here?”
