Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 566

Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 566

Currently, the Smith family seemed to be in Louis’ hands. But in reality, everything was in the hand of Old Mr. Smith.

As long as Old Mr. Smith came forward to finalize it, the marriage between the Cruise family and the Smith family would be considered successful.

“I’m afraid he won’t come,” Olivia said.

Moreover, Old Mr. Smith was probably the person in the Smith family who objected to her being with Louis the most.

Back then, when Olivia returned to Crucsia to visit Old Mr. Smith personally, she was rejected by him with the excuse that he was unwell. It was obvious that he did not like her.

After that, so many things happened. She even heard with her own cars that Old Mr. Smith was going to transfer the shares under his name to Rachel.

In Old Mr. Smith’s heart, Rachel was probably the most suitable candidate for his grandson Louis’ wife.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have delayed Louis’ engagement with her.

Olivia sighed softly with a worried look on her face. “Ill be glad if he doesn’t object to my engagement to

Louis.”

“Object?! What right does he have to object?” Richard snorted and put out the cigarette in his hand. He looked up at Olivia. “In the past, you were only the lady of the Cruise family, but things are different now. Don’t forget, you’re still Marina’s (god daughter) now! Old Mr. Smith has always valued benefits the most. As long as you have this identity, I think the Smith family will be very happy that you’re willing to marry into their family and they’ll hold your wedding in a grand manner.”

Hearing this, Olivia’s eyes twin kled with joy.

That was right. How could she have forgotten that she had such a crucial identity?

Now that she was Marina’s (go d daughte), countless people were rushing to curry favor with her.

As long as Marina was around, she would be the most respected person in the entire Seaxas.

Not to mention Louis, she thought she could even match the owner of the Sandalwood Hills.

“Call Louis now and ask his parents out for dinner tonight. We can gather together to discuss your marriage,” said Richard.

Olivia answered, “Got it, Dad.”

A relaxed and shy smile finally appeared on Olivia’s face.

At this moment, the assistant walked in from outside.

He looked at Richard hesitantly.

“Go to my study.” Richard took the lead and stood up.

The assistant followed closely behind.

After closing the door of the study, the assistant quickly reported, “Mr. Cruise, we sent more than ten people, but the results are the same. They said that they couldn’t find anything.”

Rachel was really a strange woman.

She was clearly in Seaxas, but Richard and his men could not find anything about her. She was like a lonely soul wandering in Se**as.

Upon hearing the assistant’s words, Richard frowned even more and his voice could not help but become serious. “Since we can’t find anything, send someone to follow her secretly!”

Hearing this, the assistant pursed his lips but did not say anything.

Why? Don’t you even know where she lives?” Richard berated angrily. 

The assistant looked at the expression on his face and hesitated for a while before saying carefully, “I did find out where she lives, but…” 

“But what?” Richard asked angrily. 

The assistant hesitated and said, “… She lives in Sandalwood Hills.” 

Richard stared at his assistant without blinking. “What did you say? Where does she live?” 

“Sandalwood Hills…” The assistant answered in a low voice. 

Apart from Johnson’s Mansion, where the richest family, the Johnson family resided in Seaxas, Sandalwood Hills was considered the only building that could compete with Johnson’s Mansion. 

It was rumored that any flower in Sandalwood Hills was worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, not to mention the various rare treasures inside. 

Everyone was curious about Sandalwood Hills’s owner. 

However, without exception, everyone returned empty–handed. 

But now, Rachel was able to move in so easily and enter at will. It was truly unbelievable. 

Richard sat on the chair and supported his chin with his fingers. The pads of his thumbs and index fingers rubbed against each other. 

His expression gradually turned solemn as he narrowed his eyes.

Could it be that Rachel was Sandalwood Hills’s owner? 

Was that why the Cruise family had been defeated repeatedly at this press conference and had almost lost completely? 

If Rachel was really Sandalwood Hills’s owner and had such deep financial resources, she could have taken this opportunity to destroy the Cruise family. Why would she be magnanimous at such a critical 

moment? 

This was really unreasonable. 

After pondering for a long time, Richard said again, “Continue to send people to follow her. Remember, don’t act rashly unless it’s absolutely necessary.” 

“I’m afraid it won’t work,” the assistant said awkwardly. “We lost contact with our men half an hour ago.” 

“Lost contact?” Richard could not hide the shock on his face. 

The assistant nodded. “Mr. Cruise, Rachel is really strange. Let’s just wait and see what’ll happen.” 

Richard did not answer immediately. He looked up at the assistant for a long time and waved his hand. “I’ll let you go.” 

Rachel had made an appointment with Lucas to go to the military region yesterday, so she packed up and left early in the morning. 

When she arrived at the military region–affiliated hospital in the Lucas‘ car, she couldn’t help but frown to say, “We’re recording materials here?” 

“Who knows.” Lucas said, “Since you’re already here, come down and take a look.”

Brenda’s brother, Karen Duncan, had been waiting at the door to show his sincerity. 

When he saw Rachel open the car door and get out, he quickly went up to greet her. “Miss Grey, sorry to trouble you this time.” 

“No problem,” Rachel replied in neither a servile nor overbearing manner. 

Out of the corner of her eye, her gaze inadvertently fell on Karen’s epaulet. It was with two lines and two
