Betrayal At The Altar By Dolores Delia Chapter 176

Matthew had received the favor of the Cruise family many years ago, so he had been secretly helping the Cruise family all these years. 

At this moment, when Matthew heard Olivia’s words, he put down the knife and fork in his hand, and slowly wiped the corners of his mouth. Matthew looked up at Olivia. “Olivia, to be honest, this matter was too sudden. Two minutes after I received the notice, your father was taken away. I don’t know much about the details.” 

Hearing this, Olivia clenched her fists under the table. Her nails dug into her palms as Olivia tried her best to remain calm. 

“Uncle Matthew, is there no room for negotiation? To be honest, ever since my father was taken away, my mother has been bedridden. I really don’t know what to do.” 

Even though Olivia tried her best to control her emotions, her voice still revealed the panic in her heart. 

Matthew looked at Olivia and pondered for a moment. “Olivia, think about it. Did your family offend someone recently?” 

Hearing this, Olivia frowned and fell into deep thought. 

The current Cruise family was far inferior to the Cruise family five years ago. Otherwise, Olivia wouldn’t have returned to Louis’s side. 

Moreover, ever since the news of Olivia’s engagement to Louis spread, many people had offered the Cruise family olive branches. The Cruise family had used this opportunity to climb up. How could they offend someone at this critical moment? 

“Or have you offended anyone recently?” Matthew looked at Olivia meaningfully. 

Olivia met Matthew’s gaze. Rachel’s face immediately appeared in Olivia’s mind. 

Olivia was about to get engaged to Louis and was on good terms with people everywhere. Why would Olivia seek revenge at this juncture? 

The only possibility was Rachel! 

Even though Rachel was a first–class Cultural Relic Restorer and a special advisor of the Cultural Relics Bureau, she was not capable of doing such 

a thing or secretly targeting the Cruise family. 

Therefore, Olivia quickly denied this possibility. 

“Uncle Matthew, I really don’t know who the Cruise family has offended recently. Can you please ask around so that we can personally visit and apologize?” Olivia looked at Matthew eagerly. 

Whoever targeted the Cruise family was able to get past Matthew and aim directly at them. It meant that the identity and status of this person were not ordinary. 

This matter had to be dealt with properly. Otherwise, it would be a calamity for the Cruise family. 

If anything happened to the Cruise family, it would be difficult for Olivia to marry Louis successfully. 

“I can only do my best,” Matthew said. “Since the other party has made a move on the Cruise family, they won’t just make a small move.” 

Olivia nodded. “I understand.” 

However, there was an ominous feeling lingering in Olivia’s heart, and she could not shake it off. 

After Rachel and David finished eating, they walked out of the private room. Rachel received a call from Lucas. “You’re not at the office or at home at this time. Tell me the truth!” 

Although Lucas had some computer skills on him, he had never violated Rachel’s privacy. 

“I got a boyfriend,” said Rachel. 

Lucas said, “Rachel, you’ve really forgotten the pain after your scar healed. With your past experience with bad boys, you still dare to choose a man yourself!” 

Upon hearing Lucas‘ words, Rachel said unhappily, “Lucas, believe it or not, I’ll beat you up!” 

What did Lucas mean by past experience with bad boys?
