Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 186

After returning to the Smith residence, Louis went straight to Old Mr. Smith’s courtyard.

When Old Mr. Smith saw Louis arriving, he was slightly stunned. He handed the birdcage in his hand to the servant beside him. “Why did you suddenly come to see me today? What happened at the company?”

The servant brought a cup of tea to Louis.

After the person left, Louis said, “Grandpa, I met Rachel when I was with Olivia today.”

When Old Mr. Smith heard this, he only looked up at him and waited patiently for him to continue.

“Matthew’s attitude towards Rachel is really intriguing. Louis said. “I’m afraid he would even look down on the Smith family with his current status, let alone Rachel, who came from the countryside. However, his attitude towards Rachel is extremely respectful, even somewhat fearful.”

Old Mr. Smith was very clear about Matthew’s character.

He was an impartial person. If not for the favor he had received from the Cruise family back then, it would probably be difficult for the Cruise family to even meet him now.

Old Mr. Smith frowned slightly. “Are you worried that Rachel has other identities?”

At the birthday banquet, Rachel first exposed the identity of the owner of Glamour Pavilion. He had really been shocked. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Back then, when she came to the Smith family, they had secretly investigated.

She was just a poor girl from the countryside. She had no status or background, nor did she have the power that the Smith family needed.

Otherwise, the Smith family would not have abandoned her and chosen Olivia.

Later on,

it was accidentally exposed that she was a first–class Cultural Relic Restorer and a special advisor to the Cultural Relics Bureau.

Old Mr. Smith was shocked, and at the same time, he also felt a lingering

fear.

His intuition told him that Rachel’s identity was far more than that.

Louis nodded with a slightly solemn expression. “I keep feeling that this matter is not simple, so I hope you can come forward and make peace with Rachel. Please let her participate in the Smith Group’s anniversary celebration.”

On the way here, he had already prepared everything in his head.

Once Rachel attended the anniversary celebration, he would

immediately notify reporters and publicize the relationship between Rachel and the Smith family.

Even if Rachel wanted to draw a line with the Smith family, in the end, she would have no choice but to use the people around her to pull the Smith family up under the pressure of public opinion.

At that time, the Smith family’s status in Seaxas would also rise.

Old Mr. Smith looked down and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he asked, “When you went today, did Matthew tell you who was targeting the Cruise family?”

“He said that Olivia had provoked someone she shouldn’t have.” Louis‘ eyes were filled with thoughts. He did not hide anything. “He said it vaguely, but I guess it has something to do with the Johnson family.”

The Johnson family…

In the whole of Seaxas, only Seaxas’s richest people, the Johnson family, could make people tremble in fear.

Even in the upper–class circle, there were differences in status.

The existence of the Johnson family was no different from the top of the pyramid. No one could shake it. Next was the remaining the Shain family, the Green family, and the low–key Page family. The Smith family was barely in the third level.

Whether it was the current Smith family or the Cruise family, they were not qualified to touch the upper–class circle that the Johnson family belonged to.

How could he offend the people protected by the Johnson family?

Old Mr. Smith suddenly thought of something. “If I remember correctly,

the Johnson family’s new CEO is surnamed Grey?”

“That’s right,” Louis Smith said.

Old Mr. Smith lowered his gaze and carefully recalled the change in the Smith family after Rachel left.

Not to mention whether Rachel had deliberately concealed those identities, these identities could not be obtained overnight.

In other words, Rachel’s identity had not been simple from the start.

He looked at Louis thoughtfully and muttered in a low voice, “Ms. Grey of the Johnson Corporation, Rachel Grey… Do you think she’s…”
