Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 814

When Noah heard this, he looked at Rachel with his eyes darkening.

The person who never revealed his emotions in public was actually caught off guard when facing Rachel

All these years, he had always thought that he was a strategist and none of his schemes had ever failed, However, Rachel’s appearance was like a slap on his face.

It made his smartest schemes which he had been proud of all these years instantly become a joke.

Everything was going smoothly according to his plan, and Rachel had fallen into the trap as he planned. However, he could not understand why there was a slip up at the most critical moment.

And it was such a huge slip-up!

He clenched his fists tightly under the table, and a fleeting ruthlessness flashed across his eyes.

He didnt say anything for a long time, as if he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his chest.

Meanwhile, Rachel did not rush him. She just looked at him calmly.

Her elegant posture was like a cat teasing a mouse, causing Noah to feel a sense of defeat

“Ms. Grey, it’s great that you re here!” The people beside her said from the bottom of their hearts. The moment they saw Rachel, they seemed to have regained their confidence, and their faces were filled with joy.

Compared to these people who were quite thrilled to see her here, Carolina was acting a bit weird.

Rachel noticed her reaction and only smiled without saying a single word.

At this moment, after the people on stage sorted out their feelings, they announced the official start of the meeting

The content of today’s meeting was very simple. It was nothing more than a selection process by the council to determine the candidates for a strategic partnership.

Soon, the representative of the Skysgate Group, Aileen Dickinson, walked onto the stage.

After a few opening remarks, Aileen opened the name list in her hands. When she saw the names on the list, her eyes glistened slightly. Then, she put it down and looked at the people below the stage

Everyone waited expectantly for the results to be announced.

Getting the support of the Skysgate Group meant never having to worry about investments or flattering anyone.

After all, with Skysgate Group’s strength, it was one of the top companies in the world.

Everyone held their breaths and focused. Their hearts started racing, and their hands were tightly clenched into fists.

Under everyone’s gaze, Aileen slowly smiled, “Miss Grey, I now officially invite you on behalf of the Skysgate Group. Are you willing to accept the Skysgate Group’s invitation and become our strategic partner? Are you willing to maintain a good cooperative relationship with us in the future?”

As soon as she finished speaking, people all gasped in shock.

On the stage, Noah’s expression changed.

His sharp gaze subconsciously swept toward the middle-aged woman sitting beside him.

His gaze was like a knife and he wanted to cut the woman into pieces. The woman was shocked, and her eyes were filled with panic. “Mr.

Jones, L…”

Seeing how flustered she was, Noah understood.

He expected that this woman would not dare to go against his wishes and change the candidate at will.

Thinking of this, he looked at Aileen with a dark and cold gaze.

At this moment, everyone’s gazes landed on her.

They could not understand how Johnson Corporation got this spot.

Johnson Corporation had just been exposed yesterday as suspected of maliciously polluting the sea. Even if Rachel was released now, with evidence, Johnson Corporation would eventually be unable to get away with this.

At this sensitive time, smart people would choose to protect themselves and hide as far away as possible for fear of being implicated. However, Skysgate Group rushed forward.

Was Miss Dickinson from Skysgate Group out of her mind?!

Besides, didn’t Miss Dickinson have a conflict with Rachel previously?

At that time, everyone was secretly rejoicing. Rachel was blind enough to provoke Miss Dickinson and was kicked out early. How did she suddenly become the best choice for Skysgate Group?

At this moment, the middle-aged woman sitting beside Noah said, ‘Miss Dickinson, we’ve previously discussed about this and decided that…”

Before she could finish speaking, the door of the venue was pushed open again.

Anger rose in her heart for no reason. Just as she was about to scold the person who barged in, she saw a few uniformed police officers walking in.

Everyone was stunned.

Noah, who was sitting on the stage, frowned slightly when he saw the group of people in front of him. He turned his gaze and looked at Rachel.

Coincidentally, he saw the unpredictable smile on her face and felt uneasy.

The police officers looked around and asked, “Who reported the case?”

Upon hearing this, people all gasped. Everyone looked at each other confusedly.

At this moment, Haley slowly stood up. “It’s me.”

The police officer looked at Haley “You said that you were threatened?”

“Yes,” Haley answered firmly. She turned her gaze to Noah, who was sitting on the stage and pointed at him. “That’s him.”

Faced with Haley’s accusation, Noah did not look flustered at all. He looked calm as usual as if he had already thought of a way to get himself out of this in his heart. “Miss Bean, we don’t know each other that well, and we don’t have any private interactions, so I really don’t know where your accusation against me came from.”

Haley could not help but sneer. Then, she picked up her phone and played a recording. “Miss Bean, as long as you’re willing to join me, I can satisfy all your requests. I hope you can consider it seriously.”

After the recording ended, the venue fell into silence.

Everyone looked at Noah with intriguing gazes.

Noah did not look flustered at all. He was rubbing his coffee cup with his fingers and said calmly. “This recording doesn’t mean anything, and there’s no way to testify against the so-called coercion.”

Hearing this, Haley’s eyes flickered slightly.

She originally thought that the recording in her hands was like a trump card. However, there was still a loophole. She ignored the fact that the valuable clues provided by this recording were minimal, and there was no direct evidence to accuse Noah of coercing her.

Seeing that she could not say anything else, Noah spoke again. “Miss Bean, I only invited you to join my team out of goodwill back then. I didn’t have any ill intentions. However, you recorded our conversation and misinterpreted my good intentions maliciously. I can sue you for libel.”

Originally. Haley was prepared to go all out. She was even mentally prepared to face the consequences of provoking Noah and his father. However, the situation was beyond her expectations.

“You only didn’t participate in this directly, but that doesn’t prove your innocence.” Haley’s voice trembled slightly. Her confused and flustered eyes gradually became firm with determination. “Julian drugged and raped me and even took a lot of private photos of me to threaten me. As long as I don’t help you frame Rachel, you will expose the photos!”

After all, Noah had been through a lot. In the face of Haley’s accusation, Noah did not panic at all. He remained calm and composed. He put down the cup in his hand neither too gently nor too heavily. His

deep voice sounded intimidating. “Where’s the evidence?”
