Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385 

When she saw Sophie who was standing behind her, Olivia panicked and forced a smile. “Mrs. Zane…” 

“Alex, what happened?” Sophie completely ignored Olivia and walked up to the child, stroking his cheek. 

Mrs. Zane’s tone was gentle, nothing like before when she was so domineering. 

Alex didn’t look sad at all. Instead, he looked at Olivia with resentment and answered, “This lady lost her hair clip and happened to see me passing by, so she said that I was the one who stole it.” 

Nowadays, young children were all surprisingly mature. 

Especially children from orphanages were the most sensitive. 

He knew how serious the situation would get if he was accused of stealing, and he also knew that Olivia was quite hostile to him. 

Therefore, he did not hide his disgust for Olivia. 

Then the director said to Olivia with a fake smile, “Miss Cruise, these children might not have a fancy background, but we shouldn’t question their character!” 

“We can decide where we come from, can’t we, Miss Cruise?” Sophie said in a flat tone. She looked quite calm but her eyes were cold. 

Olivia’s body stiffened as she answered, “I didn’t mean to discriminate against their background…” 

Sophie obviously didn’t want to hear her out her explanation and said aggressively, “Have you found it?” 

“Not yet…” 

“It would be best if we can find it. If we can’t, I’ll compensate Miss Cruise at the original price of that thing. I won’t let Miss Cruise suffer any losses!” 

“No, Mrs. Zane, that’s not what I meant… 

Sophie didn’t want to listen to Olivia anymore. She held the child whose name was Alex and got up to leave. 

Olivia gritted her teeth and stood still, not knowing what to do. 

Meanwhile, Eleanor found an excuse to hide with Rachel. 

As soon as they went out, Eleanor couldn’t wait to complain, “Is Louis blind or something? He left you to be with such a trashy woman! He actually wants an idiot to help him get investments. Has he lost his mind?!” 

Back when Old Mr. Smith was still in charge, the Smith family had been at its 

peak. At that time, it was about to get as powerful as the Green family. 

Unfortunately, Old Mr. Smith fell ill at this critical moment, so the family’s status and strength plummeted considerably. 

“It’s a pity that Old Mr. Smith used to be so powerful and now his descendants are gonna ruin his life’s work bit by bit,” Eleanor said with a hint of mockery in her 

eyes. 

“There are a whole lot of people who are both blind and dumb,” Rachel sneered, “I thought that it would take a lot of effort to get Mr. Zane’s investment. I didn’t expect it to be so easy.” 

The two of them locked eyes and smiled. Eleanor said, “Olivia completely offended Sophie. Now Sophie will never take her side again!” 

They washed the fruits and vegetables again and brought them back for everyone to try.
