Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 501

Chapter 501

Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly and casually placed her phone on the table. “Mr. Shain, are you here to denounce me?”

“In your eyes, am I the kind of person who can’t differentiate right from wrong? Thomas’s lips curled into a gentle smile as he walked to the single-seater sofa in the rest area and sat down).

Rachel looked at him with a mischievous smile in her eyes. “People change.

Moreover, she had ruined the Shain family’s marriage alliance this time. Even if Thomas and Old Mr. Shain wouldn’t say anything about it, the rest of the Shan family couldn’t help but feel unhappy.

Thomas looked at her with a flash of understanding in his eyes. “The marriage alliance is just a means. It’s not the only way out for the Shain family.”

In other words, the successful marriage between the Shain family and the Page family was the icing on the cake.

Rachel was not surprised to hear his words.

The Shain family, after all, was one of Four Families. If the family fortunes were entirely pinned on a marriage alliance, the Shain family would not have to participate in the Chamber of Commerce.

“Why do you come here so late?” Rachel raised her eyebrows at him.

Thomas said, “I had to make an appearance at a social event before I left my office.”

He took out a rectangular velvet box from his pocket as he spoke.

The lid was opened, and a bracelet inlaid with various gems was inside.

The gems reflected a gorgeous night under the light.

“I came across a bracelet that fits you, so I bought it.” Thomas noticed Rachel’s slightly furrowed brows, but he did not give her a chance to refuse. He said gently, “We haven’t seen each other for so long. It’s my gift to you. There’s no need to feel burdened. Here, let me help you put it on.”

Rachel pursed her lips and did not extend her hand for a while. “Mr. Shain…”

“Rae-Rae, do you have to treat me like a stranger?” Thomas looked up at her with a hurt expression. “You used to call me Brother Thomas when you followed Lucas and me around.”

The Stellar Corporation he currently controlled might not be as large as the Johnson Corporation, but he had a wide range of industries under his name.

Both emerging and traditional industries were on par with the Johnson family in the business world.

It was not an exaggeration to say that he controlled the local economy.

Everyone was waiting for David to make one or two suggestions at the right time.

However, David was staring at his phone the entire time. A vague chill ran through the depths of his eyes, making the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly heavy.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Only Old Mr. Shain had a smug expression.

He quietly handed the phone to Old Mr. Johnson. “Old buddy, do you think it’s okay for Thomas to accompany your Rae-Rae?”
