Betrayal At The Altar By Dolores Delia Chapter 6
Chapter 6
Everyone in the Johnson family was against Rachel’s relationship with Louis Smith after they learned that she had fallen for
someone who wasn’t in the same social status. Rachel, being the stubborn mule of the family, estranged herself from her family,
hid her status as the grandchild of the Johnson family, and joined the Smith family in toiling in the name of
love
Angered by her choice, Old Mr. Johnson cut all financial support as the ultimatum to force Rachel to return to the family.
Hence, he lost Rachel for three whole years.
Everyone in the Johnson family had waited for Rachel to change her mind for three years. Little did they know, they received the
news of Louis ditching Rachel.
Rachel Grey was a descendant of the Johnson family and was entitled to the privilege of rejecting others, not the other way
around.
What a nerve Louis Smith had.
Tom Johnson would not allow Louis Smith to escape unscathed after hurting Rachel. He would make sure this ungrateful man
learned his lesson.
“Haven’t you laid out the plan for me, Uncle Tom?” Rachel smiled. She glanced at Tom, amused by his question.
“My plan for you is for you to return to the family. The old man is aging fast, and it is becoming difficult for him to manage the
company. You know your Uncle Adrian and I are interested in something other than taking over the family business. So, we
would be thankful if you could take over the family business.” Tom gazed at Rachel lovingly. “You can let me know if you have
something else in your mind. You know I’m always on your side.”
Tom’s simple words of assurance flooded Rachel’s heart.
She recalled when she went against her family, who loved her unconditionally, for al heartbreaker. She had so wanted to give
herself a good slap for being such an ungrateful

brat.
She held back her tears with all her might. She choked gratitude for the family that never gave up on her. “Thank you, Uncle
Tom!”
“You’re the only niece I have. Who else would I side with other than you?” Tom gently patted her head, his eyes full of adoration
for her. “Take care of yourself. I’ll come to visit you again. tomorrow or the day after.”
After Tom left, Rachel turned to the window. The sun shone brightly through the window, signaling that she should take a walk
outside when the weather was good.
Wearing a knitted sweater, Olivia Cruise watched Rachel from the hospital corridor, who was sitting alone under the tree.
Although Rachel was wearing a typical hospital gown and sitting alone under the tree, her air of elegance stood out among the
commoners.
There was a hint of innocence in her look, graceful yet pure. Her beauty was intriguing, one
that others couldn’t help turning their heads for a second glance as she walked down the
street.
“I can’t believe we’re meeting again so soon.” The voice coming from behind caught Rachel off–guard, and she automatically
turned toward the direction of the voice. Her expression immediately turned glacial when she realized who was speaking.
Olivia stared straight at Rachel as her lips lifted into a gloating smile, and it was a smile that screamed victory. “It has been so
long, Rachel Grey.”
“I can never seem to get away from you, Miss Cruise.” Rachel’s eyes gloomed. Her entire body was enveloped by hostility
toward the woman standing before her.
Olivia wasn’t bothered by her words. She continued, “I do feel sorry for you sometimes, Miss Grey. After all, you’ve wasted three
years of youth on a man who never loves you back.”
At this very moment, tears formed in her eyes and flowed freely down her face as she grabbed Rachel’s arm and started
pleading. “Rachel, it’s all my fault, and I’m the one that did you wrong. Please forgive me, will you?”

“Don’t touch me!” Rachel frowned as she flung Olivia’s grip away in disgust.
She did not use much force when she flung Olivia’s arm away, but Olivia was thrown to the ground.
Shocked by Olivia’s sudden change of behavior, she heard someone yelling from behind. before she regained her thoughts,
“Rachel Grey, what are you doing?”
Rachel suddenly realized what Olivia was trying to achieve and why she had suddenly turned into a different person.
It was one of Olivia’s tricks, a show she put on. She would have wasted Olivia’s effort if she did not play along in a play Olivia
had orchestrated.
