Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 739

Obviously, she was insinuating that Rachel’s words had no basis.

Rachel was quibbling and lying!

Landon could not stand watching Georgia make a bigger fool of herself because of her ignorance. Finally, he sighed softly and said, “Miss Grey is telling the truth. Not only can I testify to that, but so can Jimmy.”

Hearing this, Georgia turned to look at Landon in disbelief.

She could not understand what sort of charm Rachel had that Georgia’s brother, Landon, would speak up for her.

She bit her lips, her reddened eyes gradually becoming wet with tears. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Jimmy coughed softly and glanced blandly at Georgia. “I didn’t expect such a big misunderstanding to happen just because of one sentence. However, Georgia, you were indeed in the wrong this time for taking things out of context before figuring out the actual situation. Besides, how could David not know if Rachel has been married before?”

If he wanted to learn the truth, a man of David’s abilities and cunning would discover it eventually.

At this point, the dumbfounded Thomas also figured out the whole story in his mind.

Georgia had accidentally overheard Rachel’s conversation with the rest. Upon hearing the word ‘married’, she erroneously concluded that Rachel was hiding a past marriage and had deliberately seduced David in an attempt to rise above her station in life.

Unexpectedly, Rachel had only been almost married once. Not only did Jimmy and Landon know about this, but even David was aware.

She had nothing to hide at all.

Georgia looked as if she had been struck by lightning. She was in a daze.

Her throat felt dry and tense. She opened her mouth and said with difficulty, “All… all of you already knew that she almost married someone?”

“That’s right,” Jimmy replied, extinguishing the last bit of hope in Georgia’s heart. “There’s still a difference between marrying someone and almost marrying someone. Besides, regardless of whether she has been married before, as long as both parties are willing to move past that, even the heavens couldn’t stop them, right?”

His words implied that Georgia had broken the rules tonight and said something she should not have.

Even worse, she had schemed against Rachel and humiliated her in public.

Since the situation had been cleared up, Rachel no longer had the patience to continue putting up with Georgia.

She plucked the bowstring with her fingertips. “Let’s get back to our conversation, Miss Walker. It’s time for you to face your punishment.”

Georgia came to her senses and looked at the bow and arrow in Rachel’s hand. A hint of panic appeared in her eyes. “I… I… David, I might have erred in this matter, but you shouldn’t indulge her like this…”

David stood beside Rachel and held her hand tightly. When he heard Georgia’s words, he frowned and said impatiently, “What are you waiting for? Bring her over!”

At his command, Billy and Chris stepped forward at the same time. They grabbed hold of Georgia and steered her towards the bullseye in the distance.

This time, Georgia lost her composure completely. Giving no thought to her elegance, she struggled with all her might and yelled, “Let go of me! Let go of me!”

However, her strength was nothing compared to that of the two martial artists.

Seeing that she was about to be dragged away, Georgia grabbed Landon’s sleeve when she passed by him as if she was holding onto her last hope. “Landon! Landon! Save me!”

It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid.

She thought she could easily win against Rachel but lost utterly instead.

Even if she lost, Georgia had hoped that with Landon protecting her, and his years of interaction with David, Rachel would not dare to punish her.

However, things weren’t as simple as she thought.

Not only did David disregard his years of friendship with Landon, but he also refused to give the Walker family any face. Even her brother, who had always doted on her, chose to watch coldly from the sidelines.

How could Georgia accept this?

The bow and arrows were under Rachel’s control. Georgia prayed that the other woman was somehow a skilled archer. Otherwise, an accident might happen, and she might lose her life!

Tears welled up in Georgia’s eyes as she tugged at Landon’s sleeve. “Landon, please try and persuade David. As long as you speak…”

“Miss Walker!” Rachel interrupted her coldly. She placed an arm on David’s shoulder and leaned against him lazily. “If you agree to bet, you must be willing to accept defeat. Don’t embarrass the Walker family if you can’t afford to play.”

These words were not only a reminder, but also a warning to Georgia.

If Georgia continued to beg, it would only put Landon in a dilemma.

Moreover, they had placed a bet beforehand. Now that Georgia had lost, she wanted to back out. If this matter spread, it would only embarrass the Walker family.

Looking at Rachel lying in David’s arms and openly enjoying his attention, Georgia was once again overwhelmed by jealousy. “Shut up! Who are you to educate me?”

“You’re the one who should shut up!” Landon reprimanded coldly.

His eyes flickered with a terrifying coldness under his glasses. He forcefully pushed Georgia’s hand away and said frostily, “Take her away!”

At that, Billy and Chris dragged Georgia straight to the bullseye without any hesitation.

“Let go of me! Billy Jones, Chris Jones! You two are just David’s lapdogs. What right do you have to…”

Before Georgia could finish her sentence, she heard a swoosh.

An arrow was shot through the air to land 0.5 inches away from her.

She could even hear the sharp arrowhead piercing through the bullseye.

Georgia felt as though her heart was leaping out of her chest.

The circulation in her body seemed to have stopped, and her breath seemed to have slowed down tremendously. All she could hear in her ears was her drum-like heartbeat.

Georgia stood rooted to the ground in a daze, swallowing her saliva and breathing heavily. She wanted to struggle, but her entire body was so stiff that she could not move.

Seeing her pale face, Chris’s eyes flashed with mockery. He weighed the red apple in his hand and gently placed it on Georgia’s head. Unable to resist the chance to tease her, he said, “Miss Walker, make sure to keep still. You can’t blame anyone else if the arrow accidentally pierces your vital organs.”

Georgia slowly came back to her senses and glared at him fiercely. She gritted her teeth and spat, “Who the hell do you think you are?”

The night second, another arrow shot through the air like lightning and flew straight at her.

Georgia’s pupils constricted, her breathing and heartbeat slowing to a halt. When the arrow brushed past her hair and struck the bullseye behind her head, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her limbs went limp uncontrollably.

Another two arrows grazed Georgia’s neck and ears, but neither hit her. However, she had utterly lost her mind by then.

“R… Rachel Grey…” Georgia’s breathing was shallow, as though she was a survivor who had clawed her way back from the brink of death.

She took a deep breath and gathered all her strength, then shouted at Rachel, “If you dare to hurt me in the slightest, the Walker family will not let you off!”
