Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 572

The smile on Olivia’s face dissipated a little. She pursed her lips and looked a little aggrieved.

Bertha saw all of this. The gentleness in her eyes faded a little, and there was a sharpness in her eyes. She asked

casually. “Louis, if you have any requests or opinions, you can say them. After all, the marriage is between you and

Olivia. As parents, our opinions are for reference only.”

Louis suddenly came back to his senses. He looked up at Bertha and then at the slightly aggrieved Olivia. He

frowned imperceptibly. After pondering for a long time, he said in a low voice, “…”

Before he could finish, Mrs. Smith interrupted, “Of course, Louis has no objections. He dreamed of marrying Olivia.

After all these years, he finally got what he wanted. I’m afraid he’ll wake up laughing in his dreams tonight. Isn’t

that right, Louis?”

Mrs. Smith looked at Louis with a warning gaze.

Louis was slightly stunned. He nodded and replied indifferently, “Yes.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Cruise, along with Olivia, had a slightly better look on their face.

During the meal, Olivia clearly noticed that Louis was distracted.

She lowered her head to hide the coldness in her eyes. Her fingers that were holding the fork were pale, revealing

the forbearance and restraint in her heart.

Actually, during the entanglement between Louis and Rachel just now, she was hiding in the dark and watching

clearly.

In the past, she had only guessed that Louis had some feelings for Rachel, but that was just a guess.

However, Louis’ absent-minded state confirmed her guess.

Men were indeed born despicable!

They wouldn’t cherish when they got something they wanted, but when they lost it, they started to regret it.

Even if Louis had feelings for Rachel now, Olivia would never allow anyone to shake her status as Louis’

wife!

However, a shotgun wedding…

Olivia’s hand hidden under the table fell quietly to her belly, and a touch of grief swept across her eyes.

At this moment, Bertha picked up a piece of fish and placed it in her bowl. “Have a try. This fish is very fresh.”

Olivia came back to her senses and smiled faintly. “Thank you, Mom.”

She noticed Bertha’s meaningful gaze and glanced at Louis, who was sitting opposite her. She pursed her lips and

said, “Louis, you try it too.”

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of fish with her fork and placed it on the plate in front of Louis.

Unexpectedly, Louis did not even look at it but put it in his mouth directly.

In the next second, his expression suddenly changed. He covered his neck and coughed drily.

“Hey, what’s going on?” Bertha looked at Louis worriedly.

Mrs Smith was so nervous that she jumped out of her seat. She patted Louis’ back hard. “Did you get stuck by

fishbone?”

Louis nodded. He straightened his neck and swallowed his saliva. The veins on his forehead bulged, which could tell

that he was extremely painful.

Mr. Smith hurriedly stood up. “Quick, let’s go to the hospital!”

The group hurriedly left the private room.

Their hasty movements attracted countless people’s attention. The two managers who happened to be standing in

front of Heavenly Private Room and waiting for instructions also saw the scene.

“What’s going on?” asked one of the managers.

Richard and Mr. Smith could not help but be stunned when they saw the two managers.

Who the hell was in Heavenly Private Room that was worth two managers personally waiting at the door?

Louis and Olivia knew very well who was in Heavenly Private Room.

Coincidentally, a command came from the managers earpiece. The two managers hurriedly walked in.

The moment the door was pushed open, the group of people outside the private room curiously craned their necks

to look over.

Then they found that the people inside the private room were almost all people that could only be seen on

television or in magazines. If they could casually befriend one, it would be a great honor for them. and their

business could also easily rise to a higher level.

Indeed, rich and powerful people would only make friends with rich and powerful people.

Everyone sighed and slowly retracted their gazes.

From the corner of their eyes, Richard and Mr. Smith saw an eye-catching face. Their gazes froze, and their

expressions changed instantly.

In an instant, it was as if they had been struck by lightning. They stood still on the ground and watched. with their

eyes widened.

That was… Rachel?

Why was she with this group of people?

With Rachel’s rural background, what right did she have to eat at the same table as this group of people?

What surprised them even more was that everyone in the private room was actually a little respectful to her.

There was no one in the private room that they could match up to, but the people in the private room. centered

around Rachel.

What the hell was going on?

Richard didn’t look good. Mr. Smith had an even worse look.

He vaguely felt that the Smith family seemed to have missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Ever since Rachel left, the Smith family seemed to have been cursed and began to slowly decline. No matter how

hard they tried, they could not change it.

But on the contrary, after Rachel left the Smith family, she seemed to get her lucky break.

She had actually walked into the upper-class circle of Seaxas’ rich families without their knowledge. Now,

she was even having a meal at the same table as the rich and powerful people in Seaxas.

If the Smith family hadn’t gotten into a fight with Rachel, if Louis hadn’t abandoned her at the wedding ceremony,

what would the Smith family be like now?

It might have already become one of the Four Families.

However, it was useless to think about this now.

The engagement of Louis and Olivia had become a fact.

The two of them were going to the city hall to register their marriage tomorrow.

Mr. Smith sighed faintly and helped Louis away.

Louis did not know how he got into the car and arrived at the hospital.

His heart was filled with endless regret.

If he could get to know the people in Heavenly Private Room, it would be a great help to the Smith Group.

But it was too late now..

Not only that, it seemed that from the moment he abandoned Rachel, everything was developing in a direction that

he could not imagine.

“This fishbone is not small,” the doctor said as he threw the fishbone and the tweezers in his hand onto the plate.

Mrs. Smith could not help but frown when she looked up and saw the fishbone was stained with blood. She asked,

“How did it get so deep? Will it cause any effect on him?

The doctor turned to Louis, “This fishbone was stuck in the back wall of your pharyngeal cavity. Although it’s not a

big deal, it will inevitably cause pain if it cuts the mucous membrane of the wound. Under normal circumstances, it

will gradually ease. If you don’t feel relieved, I can prescribe you some medicine to help relieve your discomfort.”

“Thank you, doctor, Mrs. Smith said.

After packing up and returning to the Smith family, Mrs. Smith saw that Louis was still absent-minded. She could not

help but ask, “Louis, what’s wrong with you?”

Louis was already so absent-minded when they were discussing the engagement in the private room. Now, he still

looked like he was on the verge of death.

“Mom, do you think I did something wrong?” Louis mumbled.

Mrs. Smith frowned slightly. “What did you do wrong? What did

you

do?”
