Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 13

Betrayal At The Altar By Dolores Delia Chapter 13

Chapter 13

She was suddenly speechless.

She had known Louis for three years, during which they had spent all their time together. She had helped him without reservation, accompanied him through difficult times, and saved the Smith Group from bankruptcy. In other words, she had nurtured him to become the latest famous rich man in Seaxas along the way.

She had thought that she was the person who knew Louis the best in the world. However, despite all this, what she received, in the end, was his unhesitating betrayal.

“Do not judge a book by its cover, eh? What you see is not all there is. Still, intuition never lies, and it will affect a person’s judgment.” David’s deep voice rang out slowly. “So, I believe in my intuition.”

Hearing his words, Rachel could not help but laugh. “I understand the principle of not judging people by appearances, but when we get to know someone, don’t we usually start with their clothing, appearance, and eating habits? In other words, the most basic understanding should come before intuition.”

David did not intend to continue arguing with her about this matter. Instead, he compromised and smiled reluctantly. “There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes. I don’t expect you to agree with my views, Miss Grey. I hope you understand that pursuing you is my own business, so you don’t have to feel any psychological burden.” In the face of his persistence, she could only sigh helplessly. “Mr. Jones, I’m sorry, but I’m not considering anything emotional now…”

“Miss Grey, first of all, pursuing you is my own business, and secondly, I have no ill intentions. You don’t need to respond to me with any enthusiasm immediately,” he said. “In other words, you don’t have to feel sorry for me, let alone have any psychological burden because of it.”

After speaking, he turned around and left, not giving her a chance to refuse.

She stood there, looking at his tall and straight back, feeling both angry and amused.

She could have decisively refused with absolute certainty if he had used love at first sight as an opening line or the previous encounter as an excuse.
