Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 622

“Miss Yule, you just said that I was full of lies and slander. You even wanted to sue me. Why have you been silent

now?” Rachel’s tone was light, slow, and indifferent, making people shudder.

Winnie’s eyelashes trembled and her eyes were filled with panic. Winnie opened her (m o u t h) but could not make

a sound. Winnie’s voice was so dry that it sounded like a traveler who had been walking in the desert for three days.

Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Winnie with a faint smile, but her eyes were terrifyingly cold.

Winnie knew that she could not avoid it, but she really could not apologize to Rachel in front of so many people.

Winnie was the champion of the fashion competition and had received

professional training. Even if Rachel was talented, she had never learned design. What right did Rachel have to

accept Winnie’s apology?

“Winnie, you’ve really embarrassed me!” A deep scolding voice suddenly sounded.

Hearing the familiar voice, Winnie trembled. The colors drained from her face, leaving her pale.

Winnie raised her head stiffly and saw the man walking toward her. She could help but widen her eyes, her pupils

trembling violently. “Mr. Douglas…”

Without waiting for Winnie to finish, Harvey Douglas shouted angrily, “(S h u t) up. don’t have a shameless

apprentice like you! You’ve really embarrassed me! Back then, I took you in as my apprentice and taught you

everything without reservation. Is this how you repay me?”

“No, Mr. Douglas, I was wrong. I really know my mistake.” Winnie was completely flustered.

If Winnie was abandoned by Harvey, she would be notorious completely in the industry in the future.

Winnie wanted to go forward and grab Harvey’s hand, but her legs went soft and she fell to the ground in a sorry

state. Winnie crawled to Harvey’s feet and grabbed Harvey’s pants tightly. “Mr. Douglas, I know my mistake. Please

don’t abandon me. What should I do if even you don’t want me…”

Harvey was the vice president of the garment association. Back then, Harvey felt that Winnie had some talent and

made an exception to take Winnie in as an apprentice. Harvey hadn’t expected that Winnie would cause such a

huge scandal today. Not only did Winnie’s reputation be ruined, but Harvey was also implicated.

Harvey was really unlucky to have such an apprentice.

Harvey lowered his eyes and looked at Winnie, who was kneeling on the ground. There was no worry on Harvey’s

gloomy face. “You should know that the design industry has always supported original works and boycotted

plagiarism. However, you knew that you couldn’t do it, but you insisted on doing it. Now, it’s even turned into this

situation. You brought this on yourself!”

Originally, when Harvey saw the competition draft design handed in by Winnie this time, he was extremely gratified.

Harvey thought that Winnie had finally made a huge breakthrough. Harvey never expected that Winnie had

obtained it through plagiarism.

Harvey took a deep breath and walked to Rachel with an apologetic look. “It’s my fault for not teaching Winnie well.

Today’s trouble was caused by this disappointing apprentice of mine. However, as her teacher, I’m also in the

wrong. It’s my fault for neglecting Winnie. I apologize to you solemnly. I’m sorry.”

Rachel’s expression was indifferent as if she did not hear Harvey.

Seeing Rachel’s indifferent expression, Harvey felt uneasy.

Suddenly, Harvey saw Winnie kneeling at his feet. He kicked Winnie angrily. “(B a s t a r d), hurry up and apologize

to Miss Grey!”

Winnie was stunned for a moment. She bit her lip and said in fear, “Miss Grey, I was wrong. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t

have stolen your draft design. Please forgive m I’m sorry!”

The moment Winnie saw Harvey appear, all her pride and self-esteem disintegrated. Winnie naturally agreed to

apologize.

Rachel looked down at Winnie and said casually, “Remember to make a statement to clarify.”

Everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Rachel leave.

However, before they could let this sigh of relief, Rachel stopped in her tracks, turned around, and slowly raised her

eyes to look at them.

A casual gaze was filled with huge pressure. It was as if an invisible hand was grabbing their necks, making

everyone’s breathing stagnate.

Suddenly, a bright smile appeared on Rachel’s red lips. “I remember that someone said that he would drink all the

water in the fountain. Don’t forget about that.”

Upon hearing her words, a relative of the Smith family silently lowered his head and raised his hand to slap himself.

Previously, they had mocked Rachel because they thought that Rachel must not be Queen of the Raimant

Collection.

However, they never expected things to turn out like this.

In their eyes, Rachel was just a poor woman who came from the countryside. Not

only did Rachel have no money or power, but she had also not seen the elephant It Louis had not kindly taken

Rachel in all these years, Rachel would not have been able to settle down in Seaxas.

Even if Rachel was smart, her background was not worthy of Louis, and she would not bring any benefits to the

Smith family.

Back then, they kept inciting Louis and Rachel to break up because they were worried that Rachel would become a

burden to the Smith family.

However, now, Rachel was living a smooth life. Not only was she Glamour Pavilion’s boss, but she was also Queen

from Raimant Collection. If they had known that Rachel had such an identity, they would not have let Rachel leave

the Smith family so easily.

Rachel’s indifferent gaze swept across everyone’s faces and finally landed on Olivia and Louis. “Miss Cruise, Mr.

Smith, your feelings are sincere. I sincerely wish you two love each other forever. I hereby offer a small gift. I

believe you will especially like it, Miss Cruise.”

When Olivia heard this, her eyelids twitched as a bad feeling arose in her heart.

After Rachel and the others left, they first went to greet Yulia before leaving the hotel.

As Jane watched Rachel and David leave, she finally could not take it anymore. Jane took out a knife from

somewhere and stabbed it straight at Rachel. “Rache! you (b i t c h)! I’m going to (k i l l) you!”

Seeing this, Mrs. Smith was shocked and hurriedly called for the surrounding people to stop Jane.

Jane was suppressed by a group of people and forcefully (s n a t c h e d) away the dagger

in her hand.

“Let go of me!” Jane roared indignantly.

Slap!

Mrs. Smith slapped Jane’s face hard. Mrs. Smith looked at Jane coldly. “You really disappoint me!”

Mrs. Smith took a deep breath and ordered expressionlessly, “Send her back to the Smith family. She’s not allowed

to step out of the bedroom without my permission!”

(“M o m!)” Jane, who was dragged away, shouted hysterically, “I’m your daughter. You can’t leave me alone!

Others don’t know how painful it is for me to live, but you know best! Mom…”

The shrill screams made Mrs. Smith’s heart tremble.

Mrs. Smith trembled uncontrollably and clenched her fists tightly.

But at this critical juncture, countless people were waiting to see Mrs. Smith make a (f o o l) of herself.

Mrs. Smith suppressed the sadness and heartache in her heart and pretended to be calm as she looked at the

priest. “The engagement ceremony will continue!” The priest was stunned for a moment. Then, he reacted and

used his super strong ability to control the situation to get the engagement ceremony back on track.

“Let’s give them the best blessings and the warmest applause.”

As soon as the priest finished speaking, there was a round of enthusiastic applause from the guests.

Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise from below the stage, followed by an intense discussion.
