Chapter 646
Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia
Betrayal At The Altar Chapter 646 At this moment, a series of noisy footsteps came from afar.
They could vaguely hear the sounds of an argument. âMiss Jones, Mr. David specially instructed that you are not allowed to step into Trinisia garden. Please donât make things difficult for us.â
âGet out of the way!â Marina shouted coldly. âTrinisia garden is my motherâs house. When did it become Davidâs turn to tell me what to do? All of you, get out of my way! Otherwise, Iâll break your legs!â
In the living room, Old Mrs. Jones heard her voice and frowned imperceptibly. She raised her hand and tugged at the corner of her shirt. She said casually, âLet her in.â
âYes,â said Rosie.
After a short while, Marina walked in from outside. âMother, do you know what David has done?â
âThen tell me. What did he do?â Old Mrs. Jones glanced at Marina, her eyes flickering with an unknown dark light.
Marina met Old Mrs. Jonesâs turbid eyes and her heart tightened as if it was being pinched.
She took a deep breath and continued, âHe actually openly covered up for Rachel and created perjury, causing the Cruise Group to be closed down. Richard and his daughter were also taken away for investigation. I originally thought that he was just fooling around with Rachel on a whim, but I didnât expect him to be so ridiculous for a woman!
âDavid is the Jones familyâs head, but his actions are so ridiculous now. If news gets out, wonât it embarrass the Jones family? As for Rachel, Mother, donât be deceived by her obedient and sensible appearance. She relies on your doting and does evil with David. If this continues, she will embarrass the Jones family sooner or later!â
Old Mrs. Jones picked up the cup and took a sip. When she put it down, she said unhurriedly, âDoes she do evil with David?â
âThatâs right.â Marina was so anxious to slander Rachel that she did not notice Old Mrs. Jonesâs meaningful tone at all. âYou donât know how arrogant she was at the police station last night. She relied on Davidâs support. Not only did she attack the police, but she also accused the Cruise family of hiring someone to kill her. Now, the Cruise familyâs miserable outcome is all her doing!â
Hearing this, Rosie looked up at her.
Miss Jones had really become more and more ridiculous over the years. No wonder she was not well-liked in the family.
âSo you returned to Seaxas overnight and went to the police station to uphold justice?â Old Mrs. Jones asked lightly.
Her tone was calm and slow, making it impossible to guess her emotions.
Marina could not help but be stunned. Her eyes flickered slightly.
Initially, she thought that she would be able to hide her whereabouts after sneaking back. She did not expect Old Mrs. Jones to know her whereabouts like the back of her hand.
Marina picked up the coffee that Rosie handed her and took a sip. After thinking for a moment, she said. slowly, âI was just being kind. I thought that Rachel was Davidâs woman after all, and we would be family in the future, but who would have thought that she would look down on me and even mock me? I lost all my face!â
Old Mrs. Jones snorted without hiding anything. âIâm just afraid that youâre hiding a vicious heart under your kindness!â
âMom, you...â Marina looked at her in shock.
Old Mrs. Jonesâs face suddenly darkened, and there seemed to be a layer of ice between her eyebrows. âIâm old, but Iâm not so muddle-headed that I canât tell right from wrong. I canât let you distort the truth!â
These words were clearly biased toward David and Rachel.
âRac-Rae is usually such a docile and obedient girl. But she was forced to severely injure someone. It could be seen that she was really forced into a corner. Instead of reflecting on how arrogant the Cruise family is. you blame Rae-Rae for being ruthless!
Iâm curious about what benefits the Cruise family gave you that made you so biased!â
Upon hearing this, Marina secretly gritted her teeth. âEven if the Cruise family went too far, wasnât Rachel the one who provoked them first? She exposed Oliviaâs scandal at the engagement banquet of the Cruise family and the Smith family and pushed the Cruise family to the center of attention. The Cruise family was criticized and made a fool of themselves. If it werenât for this, why would the Cruise family use such. Ã vicious method to deal with her?
âBesides, the Cruise familyâs scheme didnât succeed. Why canât we turn a big matter into a small one?â
âShut up!â Old Mrs. Jones shouted angrily. She grabbed the cup beside her and smashed it at Marinaâs feet. âWhat kind of nonsense are you talking about?â
The cup shattered, and hot coffee splashed everywhere. It was so hot that Marina hurriedly bounced up from the chair.
âYou want to turn a big matter into a small one just because the Cruise familyâs scheme didnât succeed. Then I want to ask you. If it succeeds, what should we do?â Old Mrs. Jonesâs eyes were filled with anger, and her words were terrifyingly intimidating. âAre you going to clap and cheer with them? Donât think I donât know what youâve done!â
Marina felt guilty and did not dare to say another word.
However, since Old Mrs. Jones was angry, she did not intend to let Marina go easily.
You clearly know that thereâs a grudge between Olivia and Rae-Rae, but you became Oliviaâs godmother. Are you deliberately trying to compete with Rae-Rae? You used Olivia to deal with Rae-Rae and event used your connections to pave the way for the Cruise Group. You intended to annex the Cruise family and enter the market of Seaxas. Your plan was really good!â
Every word was like ice to Marinaâs heart. The color on her face faded bit by bit, leaving only a pale face.
She thought that no one would know what she had done. She did not expect Old Mrs. Jones to know everything.
âKneel down!â Old Mrs. Jones scolded coldly.
Upon hearing this, Marina looked up at Old Mrs. Jones in disbelief, his eyes filled with disbelief. âMom...â
âShut up!â Old Mrs. Jones interrupted her sternly. âSomething happened to Rae-Rae. I didnât expect you to help her, but you hit her when she was down because of an outsider. You even dared to cause trouble outside! How did I give birth to such a st*pid daughter like you?â
Upon hearing this, Marinaâs face darkened. Suddenly, she sneered. âThatâs right. You really shouldnât have given birth to me back then! Or rather, you should have strangled me to death after giving birth to me! When I was young, because I was a girl, I was always bullied by my brothers and was not liked at home. When I grew up, my brothers fought for power and even tried to please the Elders to sacrifice me. Have they ever thought about my feelings all these years?
my heart, âItâs said that a mother knows her daughter best. I thought you could understand the pain in but to my surprise, you didnât understand me or support me! If you were willing to stand by my side and protect me back then, would I have been forced to this extent by them and make a living in Seaxas?â âYou!â Old Mrs. Jonesâs eyes were red as she looked at Marina.
Disappointment and pain flashed across her eyes. Her chest heaved up and down violently as she gritted her teeth and scolded, âGet lost! Get out of here!â
