Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 647

“I’m leaving now!” Marina took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to cry. “I thought you didn’t love me in the

past, but now it seems that you really don’t.”

With that, she turned and left without looking back.

As she watched her leave, Old Mrs. Jones’s heart felt a growing pain in her chest.

She frowned and clutched her chest with her right hand.

Rosie, who was beside her, noticed her action and quickly took out the Cardio Reliever Pill she had always carried

from her pocket. She pulled Old Mrs. Jones into her arms and fed her the pill.

As she patted Old Mrs. Jones’s back, she comforted her soothingly. “Miss has always been like this. She doesn’t hold

back when she speaks. Why are you angry with her? Besides, if anything happens to you, Mr. David will be worried

again.”

Old Mrs. Jones did not say anything. She slowly closed her eyes to calm herself down.

After a long time, she spoke slowly. Her calm voice was a little (ho ar s e). “I thought she could understand.

everything I did for her…”

“One day, Miss will understand your good intentions,” Rosie said.

“No,” Old Mrs. Jones said. “She’ll never understand.”

If Marina really understood, she would not go against David in every way.

She even used the Cruise family to scheme against Rachel.

Old Mrs. Jones sat on the chair for a while when her phone buzzed suddenly.

She looked down lazily. It was a message from Rachel.

[Mrs. Jones, the flowers you pruned are so beautiful.]

Old Mrs. Jones’s eyes shone with a smile. She hurried to dial a call. “Rae-Rae.”

“Mrs. Jones. Rachel had just woken up and her voice was slightly (ho ar s e).

Hearing the (hoar seness) in her voice, Old Mrs. Jones frowned slightly. “Were you frightened last night?”

Hearing this, Rachel understood.

It seemed that what happened last night had reached Old Mrs. Jones’s ears.

However, this was not surprising. After all, the Internet was in an uproar. It would be strange if she hadn’t heard

anything.

Rachel smiled. “No.”

“That’s good.” Old Mrs. Jones heaved a sigh of relief. “The Cruise family truly went too far this time. They have to

be punished severely for hiring someone to kill!”

Rachel stuck out her tongue and licked her dry lips. “They’ve already been severely punished.”

Uprooting the Cruise family to prevent future troubles was definitely the most severe punishment for them.

Old Mrs. Jones was slightly relieved. She did not forget to remind her earnestly, “Rae-Rae, we girls can’t afford to

get injured. So in the future, leave things like fighting to David. You just need to watch from the side, understand?”

Rachel was speechless.

She thought that Old Mrs. Jones would blame her for being too ruthless. She did not expect her to be worried that

she would be injured during the fight.

The sudden favoritism sent a warm current through her heart, wrapping her like a soft and smooth ribbon.

“Got it, Mrs. Jones.”

“By the way, are you coming to my place for dinner tonight? I asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of the food you

like.”

“Mrs. Jones, today might be…”

Rachel found it hard to utter words of rejection.

On the other end of the phone, Old Mrs. Jones smiled and said, “If you can’t come tonight, we’ll meet on another

day. Anyway, when you want to come, you are always welcome here.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Rachel walked into the bathroom to take a shower.

When she came out, she received an unknown call.

She picked up the phone and heard Don Cole’s voice. “Miss Grey, it’s me.”

“Officer Cole, what’s the matter?” Rachel was a little surprised that Don would take the initiative to contact her.

Don said, “Olivia Cruise wants to see you.”

“I see.”

At the police station, Bertha sat on the steps of the police station in a daze.

She stared blankly at the phone in front of her.

It was a message she received. “Bertha, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I really can’t. You offended the

Johnson family, the richest family in Seaxas. Even if our families team up, we are no match. for the Johnson family.

This time, the Johnson family wants to end you. There is no way for you to fight.

back.”

“Recently, there are rumors outside that Rachel Grey is the daughter of the Johnson family with a different

surname. Actually, when you think about it carefully, this is totally possible. If you didn’t attack Rachel, how would

things have ended up like this?”

“As the saying goes, only the doer can undo what he has done. If you really want to protect the Cruise family, I

advise you to start with Rachel. Apologize to her properly and talk about compensation. In short, I can’t help you.”

Even now, she still felt that the seizure of the Cruise family was like a nightmare.

Despite having done many illegal things over the years, Richard Cruise had never been caught red-handed before.

However, this time, not only did they track down the company’s accounts, but they even found the evidence

Richard regarded as a token to escape death.

This evidence had always been kept by Richard himself. Even she, his wife, never knew where it was hidden.

However, the people from the Prosecutor’s Office found said evidence in a breeze.

Now that the Cruise family had been seized and the company was gone, she had become a pitiful person with

nowhere to go overnight.

After all, she was a rich lady who was used to living a pampered life. How could she watch her life crumble just like

that?

She also begged people everywhere, placing her hopes on the wives she had always been on good terms. with.

Without exception, everyone avoided her like she was a snake.

It was as if touching her would bring about a calamity to them all.

After much hesitation. Bertha got up and walked into the police station.

When Olivia saw Bertha, she stood up instinctively. “Mom…”

But just as she had gotten up, someone grabbed her shoulder and pressed her back down.

Bertha sat opposite her and took a deep breath. “Olivia, no one is willing to help us now, unless…”

“Unless what?” Olivia’s eyes flickered with eagerness.

“Unless you apologize to Rachel and ask for her forgiveness.”

“You want me to apologize to Rachel?” Olivia sneered. “I won’t apologize to her even if I die!”

What right did Rachel have?

She was just relying on David’s support.

If David abandoned Rachel, what else would she have?

Bertha knew that Olivia was unwilling to give up. However, in the current situation, only Rachel could show mercy

and give the Cruise family a chance to survive.

The humiliation and grievances they suffered now were nothing. If the Cruise family could make a comeback one

day, they would have plenty of opportunities to take revenge in the future.

“Olivia, when you were locked up here, didn’t you think carefully about why our family ended up like this?” Bertha

held Olivia’s hand and said earnestly, “The

vidence has always been kept by your father alone. Now that it was so easily dug out, do you really think that all of

this is a coincidence?”
