Betrayal At The Altar By Dolores Delia Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Rachel’s lips curled into a sneer. “And how dare you come here and

accuse me?”

“How outrageous!” Mrs. Smith exclaimed furiously. All of a sudden, a hint of disdain appeared at the corner of her mouth. “I’ve seen many women like you before! You used to act meek and obedient in front of Louis, but you finally show your true colors now that you know there is no hope for you to marry into a wealthy family!”

“The only thing that can hold me back in this world is myself,” Rachel replied, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. Despite the smile, her eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of ice. “A mere Smith family is not worthy of my energy.”

If she had not fallen in love with Louis, she would not have willingly removed her own armor or joined the obnoxious Smith family.

The Smith family was on the brink of bankruptcy, after all.

She wondered if she did so for the title of “Mrs. Smith“.

Now that she had willingly given up Louis, everything about the Smith family would have nothing to do with her, and it would no longer be a shackle that bound her.

“Do not flatter yourself!” Jane covered her swollen cheek and glared fiercely at Rachel. “You pestered my brother relentlessly before and forced him to marry you within three years. In the end, everything you did was all for the sake of our family’s wealth!”

Hearing her words, Rachel sneered, “The Smith family’s wealth? I am curious as to what kind of wealth a family on the brink of bankruptcy still possesses. Is it just a bunch of debts or mortgaged properties?”

“You…” Jane gritted her teeth and glared at Rachel, her eyes filled with hatred. “Stop talking nonsense and apologize to me on your knees!” Rachel glanced at Jane’s swollen face and casually said, “Impossible. There won’t be any apology coming from me, but I can help you make your face symmetrical.”

Jane took a step back and hid behind her mother in fear when Rachel approached her.

Mrs. Smith’s face became gloomy, and she stared at Rachel fiercely. “Rachel Grey, you have gone too far!”
