Betrayal At The Altar By Dolores Delia Chapter 35

Instantly, everyone in the meeting room was struck silent.

Rachel raised her eyes and looked indifferently at Louis. “Hasn’t Miss Green already made it very

clear?” she asked. “If you need me to repeat it, I don’t mind.”

“Jeez, Louis said. His chin tensed, and his hand on the chair tightened as he spoke in a low voice. “Our

relationship issues are private matters. If it weren’t for you stirring up trouble, how would Miss Green

know? Moreover, do you think anyone would believe that Miss Green suddenly withdrew her

investment just because of our relationship problems?”

As she sat on her chair facing the reprimand from Louis, a trace of a mocking smile appeared on

Rachel’s face.

Stirring up trouble?

It turned out that in Louis’s eyes, Rachel was the kind of person who stirred up trouble.

Upon hearing that, the others in the room looked at Rachel with disapproval.

“Miss Grey, we should prioritize the overall situation. Your personal relationship with Mr. Smith is a

private matter. As someone who is aware- and thoughtful, you should understand the importance of

putting the collective interest first. How could you bring this matter to the investors? It’s simply

senseless.”

“I opposed the idea of allowing a woman with no background or qualifications to enter the company

from the beginning. But you didn’t listen to my advice. Now you’ve let a woman manipulate and control

all of you. Let’s see how you clean up this mess.”

“She was able to instigate Miss Green to withdraw her investment with just her words. Who knows what

methods she may use to persuade other investors to do the same behind our backs?”

Upon hearing the others‘ words, Rachel felt dejected.

That sense of dejection was not quite the same as feeling betrayed by Louis.

She felt that all of her efforts were in vain. In the end, she only managed

to move herself.

Louis looked at the silent Rachel. His eyes were filled with anger. “Rachel, say something.” he said.

Rachel’s face was marked with a mocking smile as she looked at Louis sitting in the main seat. “It’s

your fault. Why should I bear the

consequences of your mistake?” she replied. “As the direct person in charge of the company, you

should know that your image and reputation directly affect the company. You don’t even have this

awareness. What qualifies you to sit in that position now?”

The resounding words echoed through the air, instantly silencing the conference room and making it so

quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

To everyone’s surprise, Rachel, who was usually composed and well–mannered, spoke rudely to Louis,

openly questioning his competence and intelligence.

This was no different than slapping Louis in front of everyone.

Louis’s handsome face suddenly turned dark, and he glared at Rachel with a gloomy expression.

“Rachel Grey,” Louis said as he gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger that was about to burst.

“You’re just a department manager in this company. Your top priority should be to do your duty well. It’s

not your place to lecture me.”

“Do my duty well?” Rachel raised an eyebrow and looked at Louis sarcastically. “Was it my duty to

come up with strategies for the Smith Group, or was it my duty to work late into the night for the

company? If you think those are my duties, then you are absolutely wrong. There is no such thing as

‘duty‘ for me, only things I want to do or not.”

Just as Louis was about to speak, Rachel suddenly raised her hand and fiercely threw the prepared

resignation letter at Louis’s face, saying, “I’m calling it quits. The Smith Group is too small a company

for someone who is as important as me. You’d better find someone else to do it.”

Upon hearing this, the dissatisfaction on everyone’s face vanished instantly. One after another, the

people in the conference room stood up to persuade Rachel to stay.

Louis looked at the resignation letter that Rachel had thrown in his For the first time, he felt a sense of

panic.

The only reason he dared to hurt Rachel without restraint was that he relied on her feelings for him.

He knew that no matter what happened, Rachel would never leave him.

But now Rachel left him with a wave of her hand, leaving him caught off guard.

Louis’s fingertips suddenly tightened, gripping the resignation letter tightly.
