Chapter 825
Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia
Chapter 825 Half an hour later, Rachel arrived at the Johnson Corporation What happened at the Real Estate Summit had long reached the ears of everyone in the Johnson Corporation as if it had wings Moreover, when the police took Rachel away, all the reporters recorded the scene. Therefore, the incident of the Johnson Corporation at the Real Estate Summit was no longer a secret.
Rachel walked to the elevator. Coincidentally, the elevator door opened, and Carolina walked out with a box in her.
When Carolina met Rachelâs gaze, a hint of shame and anger appeared on Carolinaâs face. Carolina bit her lower lip slightly and curled her fingers that were holding the box. She lowered her ryes guiltily and did not dare to look at Rachel.
When Carolina was criticized and fired, she complained a lot in her heart. However, the moment she saw Rachel, she could not say a single word for some reason and only felt endless guilt.
Rachel had always adhered to one principle. Once someone was disloyal, she would never keep him.
Therefore, Rachel had a clear conscience toward Carolina.
When Rachel and Carolina brushed past each other, Linda could not help but ask Carolina, âYou ruined your future for only 2 million dollars. Do you regret it?â
After the incident at Real Estate Summit was exposed, although Carolina was not sentenced, her reputation in the industry was ruined, and no big companies would hire her in the future.
For the sake of 2 million dollars. Carolina sold her future in person.
Seeing that Carolina did not speak. Linda continued. âThose who are blacklisted by the Johnson Corporation will never be recruited by any company in Seaxas Otherwise, they will be openly going against the Johnson Corporationâ
Hearing thar, Carolina finally couldnât take it I admit that I have done something dishonorable, but is there a need for you to force me to a dead end? Everyone knows how Haley joined the Johnson Corporation back then! Her career reaches the next level because she betrayed her previous Boss! Since she can do such a thing, why canât I?â
After saying those words, Carolina suddenly felt much better.
Carolina heaved a long sigh of relief and looked at Linda with a sarcastic smile on her face. âNot everyone in this world is willing to be a loyal dog by Rachelâs side like you! I admit that Iâm unscrupulous or ungrateful, but I donât think Iâm wrong!
âMoreover, you chose to be so ruthless to me. Arenât you afraid of retribution?â
Upon hearing that, Rachel, who had originally ignored Carolina, finally had a slight reaction.
Rachel glanced at Carolina indifferently. âAs an employee of the Johnson Corporation, you colluded with outsiders to leak the core confidential information, which constitutes a violation of commercial law. If I pursue further, Iâll be considered ruthless to you.â
âL.. An obvious panic flashed across Carolinaâs eyes.
Her overbearing aura from the beginning dimmed a lot.
Carolina stumbled and tightened her grip on the box, her knuckles turning pale.
âCarolina, you ruined your future in person. It has nothing to do with anyoneâ Linda looked at Carolinaâs dejected expression and said unhurriedly, âEveryoneâs life is priceless, but you set a price for your life with 2 million dollars. You deserve it, and you can only blame yourself.â
Linda was right, and Carolina had no way to refute Linda.
Carolinaâs eyes dimmed as she slowly looked up at Linda. âThereâs one more thing I donât understand.â
âGo ahead. Linda said.
Carolina swallowed her saliva and asked in a low and hoarse voice, âWith Julianâs strength, how could you escape unscathed?â
Carolina and Julian had joined hands and secretly planned to frame Rachel for two months, and their plan was watertight. There was no reason for Rachel to escape from the dilemma.
Linda looked at Carolina expressionlessly. âHave you heard of the Business Council?â
It was just a short sentence, but it made Carolinaâs expression change instantly. Her lips trembled as she looked at Linda in disbelief. Then, her eyes fixed on Rachel Carolinaâs throat was tense and her tone was bitter. âHow... how is that possible...â
The Business Council had always been a mysterious organization. It was said that its members were all elites in the business and financial industry all over the world, and each of them was extraordinarily outstanding in the industry.
The main goal of the Business Council was to check and avoid the unequal rules of business. Like a scale, it pursued absolute fairness and justice, and it would never allow the scale to tilt to one side. So, people treated it as a law enforcer.
âDo you ever know why Ms. Grey is so indifferent to the Real Estate Summit? Itâs because sheâs a senior member of the Business Council. Everything youâve been pursuing desperately is nothing in her eyes.â Lindaâs eyes were calm, carrying a hint of mockery. âYou could have had a wonderful life and bright future, but now youâve ruined them.â
Linda raised her hand and patted Carolinaâs shoulder, saying earnestly, I hope you take care of yourself and will never regret your actions in this life.â
With that, Linda turned around and left.
Carolina stood rooted to the ground in a daze as if she had been struck by lightning. Lindaâs words âNever regret your actions in this lifeâ echoed in Carolinaâs ears.
The elevator door closed. Rachel turned to look at Linda. âAre you feeling better?â
âIt is alright.â Linda said, âI just canât stand Carolinaâs arrogance. Sheâs the one who did something wrong. I donât know where she got the confidence to say that weâll suffer retribution.â
Thinking of that, Linda suddenly felt that what she said just now was not ruthless enough.
She should not be merciful to unrepentant people. Otherwise, it would be difficult to resolve the hatred in her heart!
âWhat you said just now is enough for her to remember for the rest of her life,â Rachel said unhurriedly. âShe may regret it. or hate it. Perhaps she wonât be able to forgive herself until she dies.â
Carolina still refused to admit her mistake until now because she firmly believed that the Johnson Corporation wouldnât be able to stand out in the future.
But now, Carolina knew Rachelâs position in the Business Council, and she herself was the only one who knew how regretful she was.
Linda looked at the elevator that was slowly rising and said calmly. âWe canât feel sorry for those betrayers. Otherwise, wouldnât the outsiders all think that the Johnson Corporation is a pushover that everyone can bully?â
Rachel smiled, âSo, you did well.â
As soon as Rachel finished her words, the elevator door opened. Rachel and Linda walked out one after another.
By the time Rachel was done with her work, it was five oâclock in the afternoon.
Rachel glanced at her watch and prepared to pack up and return to Johnsonâs Mansion to take a look.
After arriving at Johnsonâs Mansion, Rachel wanted to give everyone a surprise, so she didnât tell anyone when she came back.
When the butler Mr. Chadwick saw Rachel, he smiled immediately and was about to report her arrival, but he was stopped by Rachelâs shushing gesture.
Mr. Chadwick understood Rachelâs intention. However, when he thought of the people in the living room, he hesitated. He walked forward and whispered to Rachel, âMiss Grey, you came back just in time. Everyone is discussing the wedding inside.â
