Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 65

Compared to the disheartened Olivia, Rachel was calmly sipping her coffee and browsing through Twitter with interest.

Five minutes ago, Olivia held a simple press conference in the ward. She claimed that she had let her fans down and was willing to bear all the consequences and related

compensation. She begged for Rachel’s forgiveness.

Facing the camera, Olivia did not show any anger or unwillingness. Instead, she was NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

unusually calm. There were crystal clear tears on her pale little face, which instantly evoked people’s sympathy and pity.

However, her tears were also a weapon to exchange for everyone’s sympathy and forgiveness.

But at the end of the day, she only had herself to blame!

“Ms. Grey, this is the relevant information for the bidding.” Linda pushed open the door and walked in. She placed the document on Rachel’s desk.

Rachel nodded. “The PR department did a good job this time.”

“Our people didn’t do anything.” Linda suppressed the surprise in her eyes and explained, “I thought you instructed someone else, so…”

An imperceptible shock flashed across Rachel’s face. “I understand. Go ahead.”

“Yes.” Just as Linda was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly thought of something and turned back. She hesitated for a moment and said, “Just now, the president of Smith Group asked to see you. I rejected her request on the grounds that you were on a business. trip.”

There was a hint of coldness in Rachel’s eyes. She looked at the document in front of her and said firmly, “In the future, if anyone from Smith Group wants to see me, don’t inform me. Reject them all!”

“I understand.” Linda nodded and turned to leave.

After work, Rachel arrived at Lansen Restaurant as promised.

Under the waiter’s lead, she arrived at the private room she visited yesterday.

At this moment, David was on the phone with his back to her.

The man was wearing a black shirt with his sleeves rolled up, revealing his milk–white skin.

The neon lights shone on his face, making his well–defined face look indescribably charming. Even just his side profile was enough to make people fall head over heels for him.

His long black eyebrows exuded an imperceptible sharpness that kept people at a distance. His nose bridge was high, and his thin lips were slightly pursed, vaguely revealing the coldness buried in his bones.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, he turned his body slightly. The moment he looked at Rachel, the coldness between his eyebrows disappeared a little, and there was a faint

gentle light in his eyes.

After hanging up the phone, he walked straight to Rachel’s side and pulled out a chair. His thin lips curled into a gentle smile. “Sorry, I was delayed by the phone call and didn’t go out to greet you personally.”

“I’m good. Don’t worry about it.” Rachel glanced at the chair David pulled out and sat in it.

David frowned slightly. He pulled out a chair and sat opposite Rachel. His cold voice sounded at this time. “I think greeting you personally is an attitude. It can make you feel how much I value you.”

“Aren’t you making a mountain out of a molehill?”

“It’s often the details that are worth savoring, isn’t it?”

The moment their eyes met, Rachel saw the light in the depths of the man’s eye as if they were filled with infinite gentleness. It could not help but make her heart flutter. “That seems to be the case.”

Upon hearing her answer, David’s eyes darkened slightly and he gave a giggle.

The giggle was very soft and short as if someone was hallucinating.

Rachel looked up and saw the man cutting the food on the plate with a knife and fork. He seemed to be venting his anger.

He seemed to be really upset.

Although she did not know why this man would be angry for no reason, she hesitated for a while before picking up her wine glass. “Thank you for today.”

“Do you only know how to express your gratitude verbally? Do you want to try another method?” David took a sip of wine, but his gaze was fixed on Rachel’s moist red lips from beginning to end.

In a flash, the blurry image of the person flashed through her mind,

“Could it be that man?” she thought.

Her intuition told her that the man sitting in the car was definitely not an ordinary man!

She had really underestimated Rachel previously. She did not expect Rachel to find a new backer so quickly.

“Go and check the information of the owner of the Rolls–Royce that appeared in front of Lansen Restaurant last night!” Olivia suppressed the anger in her chest and tried to stay sober. “Go to the police station and get those people out quickly!”

“But the police said that those people have a criminal record. Before the investigation is done, they are forbidden from contacting the outside world and are prohibited from being bailing out…”

Upon hearing the assistant’s words, Olivia’s eyes were filled with panic.

Before she could think further, her agent, Zoey Cooper, suddenly pushed the door open and walked in with a dark expression. She threw the contract in front of her and said, “Look at what you’ve done! The endorsement that you just signed has proposed to terminate the contract and asked you to pay the compensation for breach of contract! There are also a few movies and dramas that have just rejected your interview!”

“How could this be…” Olivia’s face suddenly turned pale. She stood rooted to the ground as if she had lost her soul.

Zoey handed the tablet to Olivia with a sarcastic smile on her face. “Take a good look at this first!”

Adrian, the number one lawyer in Seaxas, just published a post on Twitter. “On behalf of @Rachel Grey, I shall send a lawyer’s letter to @Olivia Cruise. Please find attached.”

The words “attempted murder” and “intentional injury” in the lawyer’s letter pierced Olivia’s eyes deeply. She gave a dramatic shudder.

She gripped the tablet tightly, her knuckles turning pale. Her eyes were filled with unwillingness and hatred. “It’s just a small joke. What right do they have to sue me for attempted murder?”

Zoey looked at her exasperated expression and couldn’t help but sneer. “Because those people in the police station have said everything that they should and shouldn’t have said! The company wants you to immediately hold a press conference to clarify everything. They will also put a ban on you as an explanation to everyone.”

No one knew better than Olivia what it meant to be banned.

It wasn’t easy for her to terminate her contract with her former company and return to her country to develop her career. Even her current company had already arranged a way for her to develop in the future, but now, they actually wanted to ban her just because of a small lawyer’s letter.

She could not admit defeat so easily!

“There’s definitely still room for negotiation,” Olivia said confidently.

She came back this time to make a comeback. She could never be banned because of this. Once she was banned, how could she manage to get ahead in the future!

Upon hearing her words, Zoey couldn’t help but reveal a mocking smile. “The authority has just issued an official document requesting that the bad ethics in the industry be rectified. They are determined to resist illegal and immoral personnel and the development of all underworld forces. You’re committing crimes amid their operation. What right do you have to think that there’s still room for redemption?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Olivia’s entire body seemed to have been drained of strength. Her four limbs were powerless as she sat on the bed. She looked at Zoey with a blank gaze. “How did this happen…”

She did not understand why everything had turned out like this.

All of this was too much of a coincidence. It was as if she had helped her arrange the ending beforehand.

Rachel basically had everything in her favor in this matter.

“You’re on your own,” Zoey said expressionlessly and turned to leave. When she reached the door, she suddenly thought of something. “By the way, because you’ve openly violated the contract you signed with the company, the company has the right to ask you for liquidated damages. Remember to consolidate the funds during this period of time. I’m afraid you’ll go bankrupt.”
