Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 849

Chapter 849

After Rachel hung up on Mary, she vaguely sensed something was amiss with her car.

At first, she thought that it was because she had not driven this car for too long that she had an illusion for a moment.

It was until she reached the intersection and stepped on the brakes to slow down that she realized she could not do so. It was then that she realized someone had tampered with her car.

It was most likely that the brake pedal had been tampered with.

The high-speed driving caused the car to shake abnormally, but it did not affect her control of it.

Her hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as she roughly guessed who the culprit was likely to be.

She glanced at the rearview mirror and saw three black Santanas behind her.

The drivers of the three cars seemed to have discussed beforehand as they kept forcing Rachel to drive toward a certain section of the road.

Rachel’s brakes failed. To prevent her car from overturning, she could only be forced by those three cars to drive to another section of the road.

Rachel looked at the road sign and frowned slightly.

She took out her phone and dialed David’s number. She did not know if the phone signal was blocked or if she was really that unlucky, but she could not get through to David.

Resignedly, Rachel could only throw the phone on the front passenger seat and continue driving with both hands on the steering wheel.

After driving for half an hour, she was finally brought to an unfinished building

Rachel looked at the crash barrier placed directly in front of her and smiled mockingly.

They had really put in a lot of effort.

The next second, Rachel’s car crashed into the sponge wall.

The Bentley Continental dove in headfirst. The front of the car caved in, and the sponge wall shattered into pieces. In ant instant, smoke rose everywhere.

When the drivers of the three Santanas tailing Rachel’s car saw this scene, they stopped the cars but did not move forward to check until Hans walked out of the unfinished building

This unfinished building was the Grey family’s property in Seaxas. Although it was said to be in Seaxas, it was just on the

border of Seaxas.

Back then, Hans had spent a large sum of money to purchase this unfinished building because he wanted to use this unfinished building as a stepping stone for the Grey family to develop in Seaxas.

However, no one expected that the higher authorities would change their policies after Hans bought this unfinished building. First, the city’s land was redesigned, then administrative divisions were reorganized. Eventually, this unfinished. building, which was originally considered to be within the scope of Seaxas, was assigned to another division

Because of that, the value of this plot of land was greatly reduced, and Hans lost more than 10 million dollars for nothing.

The money used to buy this land came from a bank loan. Now that the Grey family was in a bad situation and their business had plummeted, they were on the verge of collapse. The only person who could help Hans and the Grey family to tide over the difficulties was Rachel.

With the Johnson family’s prestige in Seaxas and Tom’s status in the political world, they could revive even ten families like the Grey family effortlessly, not to mention just one Grey family.

At the thought of this, Hans looked at the white Bentley Continental, his eyes flashing with shrewd calculation.

Hans kicked away the sponge in front of his feet and walked toward the car.

At this moment, the drivers of the three black Santanas opened their car doors and hurriedly came out of their cars.

Over the past few days, they had been looking for an opportunity to attack Rachel. However, they realized that Rachel’s whereabouts were not fixed at all. Moreover, it was difficult to attack her on the road. After thinking about it, they could only come up with this plan.

They broke the brakes of Rachel’s car and forced Rachel to come to this destination. Rachel was trapped with no way of escape.

This was their territory. Once Rachel was here, she would have no way to escape.

Hans walked forward and knocked on the car window. “Rae-Rae, come down. Let’s have a good talk.”

Chapter 849

As soon as Hans finished talking, a clanging sound came from the car door.

Hans was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged backward, afraid that Rachel would injure him.

Hans had just taken a step back when Rachel suddenly kicked the car door open.

The airbag on the steering wheel opened and wrapped around Rachel tightly so she was not injured.

Rachel stretched out her hand to straighten the creases on her clothes and got out of the car in her high heels. She walked to Hans step by step.

Hans’s shrewd eyes sized up Rachel. “Rae-Rae, if you hadn’t forced me into a dead end, I wouldn’t have resorted to this. I was really forced into a corner.”

Rachel raised her cold eyes and looked at Hans expressionlessly. “It seems like you haven’t learned your lesson from the seizure and reformation of the Grey family’s business,”

Hans thought, “Seizure and reformation…

Hans’s expression suddenly changed.

During this period of time, the Grey family seemed to have been cursed. Misfortune had befallen them time and time again. Hans had also suspected that it had something to do with the Johnson family and Rachel, but he had no evidence. Now, what Rachel said confirmed his guess.

Hans thought, “This wretch!

“It turned out to be really her who was targeting the Grey family behind their backs!

“What sin had I committed in my previous life to have met Sophia and her daughter? I should have strangled Rachel to death when she was just born!

“She wouldn’t have been able to bite the hand that fed her!”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

The more Hans thought about it, the angrier he became. His anger was fuelled. Finally, he could not take it anymore and raised his hand to slap Rachel’s face.

However, Rachel turned her body slightly, and Hans’s forceful slap missed.

Suddenly missing his target, the forceful slap led Hans to stagger a few steps forward.

Hans quickly grabbed the front of the car to prevent himself from falling to the ground.

“You!” Hans’s face was gloomy as he stared at Rachel with malicious eyes. “You wretch! All these years, you’ve been living off the Grey family, yet you’ve targeted the Grey family time and time again. I should have beaten you to death back then!” The corners of Rachel’s lips curled slightly, but her eyes were terrifyingly cold. “It’s a pity that you missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity 18 years ago. I’m afraid you won’t have this chance in the future.”

It was clearly Lily and her mother who had framed Rachel. To make Rachel lose her inheritance and chase Rachel out of the house, Rose fell down the stairs and yet insisted that Rachel was the one who pushed her down the stairs.

Anyone with a brain would know that a six-year-old child could not push an adult woman easily.

However, back then, Hans refused to listen to Rachel’s explanation at all. Even when Rachel was beaten with a stick, she still said that she was innocent. As Rachel’s father, Hans refused to investigate it and insisted on pinning all the blame on Rachel.

After beating Rachel half to death, Hans asked the servants to strip off her clothes, leaving her dressed in only a thin nightgown. Then, Hans threw Rachel into the snow and forced her to kneel. Hans did not allow Rachel to eat or drink until she admitted her mistake.

If Grandpa and the others had not arrived timely, Rachel would have died in the snow 18 years ago.

Hans had ignored Rachel all these years, yet now he was calling himself her father.

Even 18 years ago, Hans had personally said that their father-daughter relationship was severed and that from then on, Rachel was no longer a member of the Grey family.

Yet, Hans now had the cheek to say that Rachel had lived off the Grey family all these years when Rachel never had anything to do with the Grey family all these years.

Indeed, shameless people were invincible!
