Betrayal At The Altar By Dolores Delia Chapter 14

Chapter 14 

After some persuasion from Mary, she briefly recounted the encounter at the hospital. 

Fortunately, her friend’s attention was diverted entirely by Louis and Olivia. “Good lord, that pair of adulterers makes me sick! I would skin her alive and turn her into ashes if it were me!” Mary exclaimed. 

“I hope she learns her lesson this time,” Rachel said, her eyes hiding a barely perceptible 

chill. 

After all, she didn’t plan to waste too much time and energy on Olivia. However, she would not mind making her suffer a bit if she failed to take her words seriously. 

She was never a soft–hearted saint. 

Mary nodded in agreement. “But I can’t just let Louis Smith off the hook like this!” 

“So? What are you going to do?” she asked. 

“I’m withdrawing my investment!” Mary said lightly, “I only agreed to give money to the Smith family because of you, but since they have turned their back on you, there is no point for me to remaining kind to them. 

“But you should have discussed it with me before making a decision,” she said. “Not only does the Shallow Bay project have the development potential, but you also lost millions by suddenly withdrawing your investment! Oh lord, you have a problem with money, don’t you? Don’t you like to make money?” 

Mary, meanwhile, acted as if her heart was carved open as she ran to her best friend’s side, crying as she said, “I’m losing millions, Rae. You have to compensate me!” 

“Why should I compensate you? It’s obvious that you don’t like money…” 

In contrast to the joyful atmosphere on their side, Louis was very distressed at this 

moment. 

After all, the Shallow Bay project had been the Smith Group’s primary focus in recent years, with few people in the company seeing its potential initially. 

To push the project forward, he overcame numerous obstacles and went to various places to solicit investment. Nonetheless, divestment had occurred at a critical juncture in the project, which would undoubtedly give it a fatal blow. 

“No matter how, just make sure that you contact the Green family as quickly as possible!” his voice was tinged with a hint of coldness. 

The assistant on the other end of the phone responded, “Yes, Mr. Smith.” 

After hanging up the phone, he took a deep breath and returned to the hospital ward. 

Inside the hospital room, Mrs. Smith looked at the wound on Olivia’s forehead and could not help but sigh. “She is a country woman by nature, and it is simply impossible for her to change her rough and crude ways no matter what. It was fortunate that Louis broke up with her during a critical time. Otherwise, who knows how many jokes she would cause in the future if she married into our Smith family!”
