Rachel’s eyes narrowed slightly. A cold light appeared in her eyes, dangerous and intimidating.

What they had said earlier was merely to pave the way. This was their true goal.

Her wrist swiveled the wine glass in her hand slightly as she said indifferently, “I wonder how you want

me to explain?”

Seeing that she had relented, Mrs. Smith secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Her tone was also a little

kinder than before. “Actually, this matter is not troublesome. After Louis speaks on stage later, the

reporters will raise the issue of your relationship. At that time, you can come out and announce to the

public that the two of you are not on good terms. You have already broken up with him.”

They were really shameless!

It was obvious that Louis had abandoned her and chosen Olivia. Now, in order to protect Louis’s

reputation and not let the Smith family be labeled as ungrateful, they wanted her to bear all the blame

and public opinion.

Louis had abandoned her at the wedding ceremony. Those who had ulterior motives secretly guessed

that she had done something to let Louis down. Once she spoke in front of the reporters, it was

equivalent to confirming those false rumors.

Should she say it or not, the Smith family really had a good plan!

Rachel raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Smith with a faint smile. “Mrs. Smith, what painstaking

efforts!”

The woman’s tone was calm, without any fluctuation, but it made one shudder.

Mrs. Smith met her gaze and inexplicably felt a chill run down her spine. Her eyes flashed and she said

weakly, “Rachel, I’m doing this for your own good. Putting aside your family background, the Smith

family and the Cruise family are already engaged. If we really want to talk about it, you’re the third party

who took advantage of the situation!”

“Moreover, a month before your marriage, you disappeared for no reason. When you were found, your

clothes were already disheveled.

Who knows what happened? When such a thing happened back then, Louis didn’t despise you and

was even willing to marry you. He was already benevolent enough, but you insisted on breaking up!

Now that Louis is being discussed, it’s not too much for you to explain as the person involved!”

When Rachel heard this, she continued to wear a polite smile on her face, but her eyes were

terrifyingly frosty. “I’m curious. Since the two of them are engaged, why only say it now?”

This time, Mrs. Smith was a little embarrassed and did not know how to explain.

Back then, the Smith family’s engagement with the Cruise family was not a joke. It was just that the

Smith family took it seriously.

At that moment, Old Mr. Smith said, “Rae–Rae, you don’t have to worry about this. I’ll get Louis to take

the initiative to bear everything later. He has let you down in this matter. This is the punishment he

deserves!”

Upon hearing this, Rachel turned to look at Old Mr. Smith.

She stared at him for a moment before a smile suddenly appeared on her red lips. She couldn’t help

but laugh.

When Mrs. Smith saw Rachel like this, she subconsciously looked at Old Mr. Smith.

Her laughter attracted the attention of the surrounding guests. Everyone looked at her inquisitively.

Mrs. Smith saw the situation and quickly came forward. She secretly tugged at her clothes. “What’s

wrong with you!”

“My apologies. I just didn’t expect everyone’s acting skills to be so superb.” Rachel pretended to wipe

the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Old Mr. Smith frowned slightly. “Rae–Rae…”

“In the past, I always thought that you were different from others. Now, it seems that I was wrong,”

Rachel interrupted Old Mr. Smith icily.

She looked at him with obvious disdain and mockery. “Today is the anniversary celebration of Smith

Group. With your strict personality, you will never allow any mistakes. Do you dare to say that you

didn’t arrange all of this today? If you were really willing to let Louis take the blame, you wouldn’t have

tried so hard to call me over, right?”

Seeing that Old Mr. Smith kept silent, the mocking smile on Rachel’s lips became even more apparent.

“Actually, you already planned to sacrifice me to protect your Smith family’s wealth, right? Since that’s

the case, why put up a show in front of me? Do you want me to willingly be used by you? Or do you

want me to retain a trace of friendly sentiments for the Smith family after this matter is over?”

“Rae–Rae…” It was as though she had stabbed Old Mr. Smith in the heart. The blood drained from his

face as he stood rooted to the ground and looked dazedly at Rachel.

“You want both kindness and fame. You’re too greedy!”

Hearing this, Old Mr. Smith could not take the blow and his body swayed.

He struggled to grab the walking stick in his hand and supported his body with difficulty. His deep voice

was mixed with a trace of hoarseness. “Rae–Rae, I know you hate me inside, but I hope you can put

yourself in my shoes and think for me. The company is the hard work of generations of the Smith

family. I can’t watch it be destroyed…”

“So you chose to sacrifice me to help the Smith family?” Rachel looked at Old Mr. Smith derisively.

Old Mr. Smith met her gaze and could not help but tighten his grip on his walking stick. He pondered for

a moment and calmly said, “Child, the Smith family has let you down in the end…”

“Your Smith family has let me down in more ways than one,” Rachel interrupted him coldly.

She was no longer as respectful as before. There was only indifference and coldness in her eyes as

she looked at Old Mr. Smith. “Don’t worry. Since I’m here today, I’ve naturally come prepared.”

As she spoke, she took a deep look at Old Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith before walking towards the stage

without looking back.

Looking at her sinister smile, Mrs. Smith’s eyebrows twitched. She felt that Rachel was up to no good!

At this moment, Louis was on stage briefing the guests about the background and development of the

Smith Group. He also mentioned

the future development of the Smith Group.

Following the thunderous applause from the audience, Louis walked down the stage according to the

rules.

At this moment, some reporters surrounded him. “Mr. Smith, can you tell us about your future personal

development?”

“I heard that you got engaged to your fiancée carly, but why did you not hold the wedding ceremony for

a long time?”

“Rumor has it that you frequented high–end places with the daughter of the Cruise family. Did your

relationship with your fiancée break down?”

Louis frowned as he looked at the reporters who had suddenly appeared. His gaze grew increasingly

icy.

“I will answer everything you want to know.” Rachel’s cold voice sounded from behind.

Louis turned around and stood beside Rachel.

The woman’s exquisite and attractive facial features revealed a kind of breathtaking beauty under the

light. However, her face was indifferent, and there was an aura that kept people away from her. She

was like a thorny red rose that could only be looked at from afar but not touched.

When Mrs. Smith saw her attitude, an ominous feeling rose in her heart.

She clenched her fists nervously and secretly prayed that Rachel could follow the plan!

“Today is the 30th anniversary celebration of the Smith Group. I’m very lucky to be able to attend. I’ve

seen a few old faces at the venue, but there are also many who don’t know me. Then I’ll do a self–

introduction.”

Rachel paused for a moment and looked at everyone calmly. Her tone was calm, but every word was

powerful. “Hello, everyone. I’m Rachel Grey!”

In an instant, the scene was in an uproar.
