Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 25

Betrayal At The Altar By Dolores Delia

Chapter 25

Rachel’s slender fingertips swiped across the screen, and she picked up the call.

“Rachel, why aren’t you in the hospital?” Mary’s voice was heard through the phone.

Rachel curled her lips. “I’m outside. I won’t be coming there for the time being. I need you to help me talk to the doctor.”

“I’m glad that you’re okay.” Mary quietly sighed on the other end of the line. “I talked to the doctor just now. We can proceed with the discharge papers tomorrow.”

Rachel replied, “Great.”

“Also…” Mary hesitated for a moment before she said with a chuckle, “My studio recently received a new order, and the other party is from the Shain family. She specifically requested you to be her designer, so…”

Although Mary was the eldest daughter of the Green family and also the heiress, her mind was not set on inheriting the family business. Instead, she was more inclined to the design industry.

Five years ago, Mary decided to invest in her hobby and opened a high–end custom dress studio called “Redamancg“. It took half a year for the studio to become famous before it finally became the darling of the fashion industry.

These days, the studio was not only a brand highly sought after by famous women, but it also had a brand value of over 20 million dollars.

One of the studio’s designers named “Queen” was particularly sought after. The clothes she designed were rare to come by, and they became fashion pieces that many celebrities competed for.

Because of this, many fashion brands recognized designer Queen’s value and wanted to poach her. But she kept her identity a secret and did not give anyone clues, so gradually, people lost their drive to uncover her identity.

Rachel pondered for a moment before saying lightly, “Sure. But there are many things I need to deal with after returning to the Johnson family. So, it will take longer than usual.”

“It’s alright. The other party said that as long as you agree, she can wait for no matter how long it takes. She also said that her biggest dream in life is to be able to wear a dress designed by you on her wedding day,” Mary said. She could not conceal the excitement in her voice. “Babe, I look forward to you returning to us and leading us to the top.”

Rachel smiled. “Alright, wait for me. We’ll be back at the top in no time at all.”

After the phone call ended, Rachel thought of the reason why she started designing wedding dresses in the first place, and her smile unknowingly faded.

At that time, she had fantasized about every wedding dress she touched. She had dreamed of walking toward Louis while wearing a dress that she designed by herself, but the reality turned out to be completely different. She thought to herself, “There is nothing sadder than trying to touch the heart of a person who has never reciprocated my feelings.”

Before Rachel had time to dwell on her sadness, a loud clang was heard outside the door.

Clang!

It sounded like something breaking.

The loud noise startled Rachel, and she rushed outside to see what had happened.

“Miss Grey.” Rosie was bending over to pick up some ceramic shards on the ground. When she heard Rachel, Rosie looked up at her with an apologetic smile. “Look at me. I’ve become so clumsy due to my old age. I accidentally broke this because I didn’t get a good grip on the flower pot. Did I scare you?”

“No,” Rachel replied. She bent down and helped Rosie to pick up the remaining pieces. “Let me help.”

“Oh,” Rosie cried out softly. “No, no. Let me do it myself. Be careful not to hurt yourself.”
