Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 840

David’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a murderous aura suddenly rose in his eyes. His sharp gaze pierced straight into Louis’s eyes like a knife. “Mr. Smith, are you drunk and deliberately causing trouble?”

Louis choked. The aggressive aura from before instantly dissipated by half.

He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

“Everyone meets a few scumbags when they are young” Rachel’s cold voice sounded. He glanced at Louis. “Since Mr. Smith chose to abandon me back then, why are you harassing me now? Playing the victim in public. Have you forgotten how you abandoned me at the wedding ceremony?”

“We were together for three years, treating each other with respect. I can honestly say that I never did anything to betray you. On the other hand, your Smith family shamelessly enjoyed the benefits I brought, shamelessly used me, and you, during our relationship, were involved with Olivia Cruise, engaging in an illicit affair. If we’re talking about who should apologize, it should be you. The Smith family owes me an apology!”

“As adults, we must take responsibility for our words and actions. Since we have broken up, Mr. Smith should keep your mouth shut when you see me in the future. As an ex-partner, you should be prepared to act as if I’m no longer alive. If you continue to entangle yourself with me next time, don’t blame me for showing no mercy!”

Her words were clear and powerful, and every sentence was convincing, making it impossible for anyone to refute.

When everyone heard this, they looked at Louis with a sigh.

Initially, everyone thought that Louis blamed Rachel for betraying him. Now, it seemed that Rachel was the one who was being betrayed.

Ungrateful and shifting blame, such behavior leaves a lasting impression on people’s minds.

Surrounded by the whispers and pointed fingers, Louis gradually regained his senses. He belatedly realized his actions and found himself in a dazed and confused mind

He admitted that upon learning that Rachel had become the wealthy heiress of the Johnson family, the richest in Seaxas, he felt even more infuriated as if he had been played and mocked.

However, no matter what, he should not have lost control like before.

Even though he was momentarily intoxicated and lost his composure, deep down, he would never allow himself to be so reckless in his behavior toward David. He still harbored a sense of fear and apprehension towards him.

He was indeed too out of character. As though being possessed by a ghost!

He did not know if it was because of his agitation or because he realized his foolish mistake just now, but a thin layer of cold sweat unknowingly appeared on his forehead. The hands hanging by his sides trembled uncontrollably.

Louis lowered his eyes to hide his emotions. He pretended to be calm and swallowed and gulped. I’m sorry, I was drunk just now.”

With that, he hung his head and fled.

However, just as he took a step. Billy and Eddie appeared out of nowhere and blocked his path.

Louis stopped in his tracks, and his eyebrows twitched.

“Mr. Smith slandered me in public, causing me to be pointed at and criticized for no reason. He just said that he was drunk and brushed it off?” Rachel’s cold voice sounded from behind.

Louis’s back stiffened. He slowly turned around and saw Rachel lazily leaning on David’s shoulder.

She crossed her arms and tapped one hand lightly on her arm. The corners of her eyes were slightly upturned and curved, accentuating her cold and gorgeous face.

And by her side, David allowed her to lean on him, his arm wrapped around her waist. His tall body exuded an inherent sense of dominance, resembling a king who doted on his enchanting empress.

The man looked at Louis expressionlessly. His gaze was calm and indifferent, as though he was looking at a dead person.

Fear suddenly welled up in Louis’s heart as he realized what unforgivable stupid thing he had just done.

However, he knew very well how drunk he was.

He was unwilling to let Rachel become David’s woman just like that. He hated Rachel for hiding her true identity from

him.

Therefore, what he said just now was not only to vent his anger but to take revenge on Rachel.

“I admit that what I said just now was a little extreine, but you know well that I am not slandering you.” Louis tried to find an advantage in the situation. “It is a fact that we have been together for three years. It is also a fact that we have reached the point of discussing marriage. Since it is a fact, how can it be considered slander?”

In other words, the fact that we are together is something that you can’t erase. Therefore, the saying that David picked up the woman I played with is true! NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Rachel’s lips curled up, forming a captivating smile. However, a faint glimmer of coldness flickered in her eyes. “Indeed, that is the truth. So please enlighten me on how you managed to carry on an affair with Olivia Cruise behind my back during those three years we were together. Don’t play innocent as if I did something to wrong you

She initially did not intend to pursue this matter and could not be bothered to waste her breath on Louis.

However, Louis belinded her and used her to trample on David. Rachel absolutely could not tolerate this!

“By the way. At the wedding ceremony, how did you abandon me for another woman, causing me to be criticized by the guests?”

Her words admitted that she and Louis had once entered the marriage hall.

However, Louis did not know what to say.

He had always thought that Rachel must have hidden the fact that they were once together from David, especially since she almost married him.

After all, in his opinion, with David’s noble background, he could have any woman he wanted. Why would he choose an abandoned woman and a woman who had almost married someone?

However, Rachel’s open admission made him realize that things might not be as he had guessed.

“Mr. Smith, why are you suddenly mute?” David’s deep and cold voice suddenly sounded. It was filled with a coldness that made one shudder.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall instantly turned several degrees colder. The surrounding guests did not even dare to breathe loudly.

There was no expression on Rachel’s face. Her slender fingers rubbed the expensive gem ring on her middle finger.

Louis’s face was pale like paper, and his heart was pounding. He opened his mouth but could not say anything for a long time. His throat was as dry as a traveler walking in the desert for three days.

After an unknown period, he secretly gritted his teeth and swallowed the unwillingness in his throat. He bent down slightly and said humbly, “I’m sorry. I apologize to you solemnly for my previous actions.”

“I can accept your apology, but it does not mean I will forgive you, Rachel said. “I will give you a piece of advice out of kindness. Drinking makes things worse. Mr. Smith, you should drink less in the future.”

“Yes.” Louis turned around and left in a sorry state.

Watching him leave, David said ambiguously, “Are we just going to let it go like this?
