Chapter 515
Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia
Chapter 515 After carefully dressing Lucasâs wound, Rachel smiled cryptically at him. âWe still donât know whoâs who.â
Hearing her words, Lucas didnât know what to say.
In fact, what she said made sense. Rachel was not any young lady who only knew how to enjoy life.
In terms of courage and cunning, she was comparable to Old Mr. Johnson back when he was young.
Otherwise, she wouldnât have saved the Smith Group from the brink of bankruptcy in a single year and taken it to new heights under her direction in at span of two years.
When Lucas put his shirt back on, he glanced at the wound on his back. âAfter so many years, youâre still as skilled as ever.â
Hearing this, Rachel stopped packing the first aid kit for a moment.
She lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. There was no emotion in her calm tone when she answered him, âIâm still a little rusty.â
âWant to go out sometime and have some fun?â Lucas asked.
Rachel looked up at him.
After putting on his shirt, Lucas used his toned fingers to button his shirt up. âDan has a hunting ground near Elderville. Shall we go there and have some fun tomorrow?â
At the hunting ground.
This was the first time she had seen it in Scaxas.
Rachel thought for a few moments and nodded, âOkay.â
She hadnât ridden a horse in a long time.
It had been a long time since she enjoyed the feeling of freedom.
The Cruise family.
During this period of time, the Cruise family was indeed flattered. Especially Olivia Cruise.
She did not expect to receive Marinaâs invitation.
It was Marina Jones!
From the Jones family of Aureliana.
This indicated that behind her was an infinite supply of riches, in addition to the identity and position that everyone aspired to have.
If the Cruise family had the chance to work together with the Jones family, their future would definitely be a bright one.
Not only might the Smith familyâs status as the wealthiest be challenged at that time, but so could the Johnson familyâs.
âOlivia, what did you guys talk about today?â Richard looked at Olivia and asked. Olivia looked at her father. She could feel a hint of flattery in his words.
She lowered her eyes and said calmly, âItâs nothing. She mentioned that she wants to take me in as her goddaughter and hoped that Iâd come back and ask for your opinion.â
Hearing this, Richardâs eyes flickered with excitement.
He completely forgot about his age.
Oliviaâs acceptance as Marinaâs goddaughter would be a huge step forward for the Cruise family.
Richard suppressed his excitement. He tried his best to control his trembling voice and asked, âThen, what did you say?â
âI said that if she doesnât mind, I naturally wonât mind either,â Olivia answered. âHowever, she said that she hopes that I can take over the company as soon as possible. She wants to take me under her wing and help me grow professionally.â Richardâs enthusiasm faded as soon as he heard this. He gently twirled his thumb and index finger. He looked at her for a moment and then said, âSo, in order for her to take you in as her goddaughter, she hopes that you can take over the Cruise Group?â
Olivia nodded and lowered her head to admire her manicure. She said casually, âYou can understand it that way. However, she said that as long as I take over the company, the Cruise familyâs status will definitely be close to the Smith family with her help.â
Such bait was enough to tempt Richard.
Over the years, the Cruise family had gradually gone downhill. No one wanted to return to his familyâs former glory more than he did.
Who would willingly become an ant trampled underfoot, compared to living the life of an exceptional person?
After pondering for a moment, Richardâs eyes flickered with determination, and said, âIâll draft the appointment letter tomorrow morning!â
As he spoke, he stood up and went to the study to call his secretary.
