Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 615

Louis walked in awkwardly and nodded slightly. “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Cruise.”

Judging from his expression, he must have heard their previous conversation.

However, Bertha did not look embarrassed after getting eavesdropped on. Instead, she looked at Louis self-righteously. “Why are you here?”

“My grandfather said that he hasn’t been feeling well recently. I’m afraid he can’t attend engagement ceremony with Olivia…”.

Hearing this, Bertha looked at Richard profoundly.

Her gaze seemed to be implicating that what she said was correct.

Richard’s face fell immediately. “Louis, you and Olivia’s engagement is a big thing. Everyone will be unhappy if Old Mr. Smith can’t come personally.”

Who knew how many people would laugh at the Cruise family behind their backs if the news got out?

Pursing his lips, Louis was at a loss of words to explain.

Right then, Olivia stood up and walked to Louis’s side. She held his hand and looked at her own parents. “Dad, Mom, this is just an engagement party. We will still have a wedding ceremony in the future. Even if Grandpa Smith doesn’t attend, other people are here to give us their blessings. Don’t make things difficult for Louis over such a small matter.”

“Mr. and Mrs. Cruise, don’t worry. I won’t let Olivia suffer in the future,” Louis promised solemnly.

“I’ve raised you for nothing all these years! Who am I doing this for? It’s all for you!” Bertha pretended to be angry and glared at Olivia. “No matter what, Old Mr. Smith is an elder in the family. How can he not participate? He clearly has a problem with you and refuses to acknowledge you as his granddaughter-in-law! If word gets out, you will become a laughing stock! Don’t you understand the impact of being destroyed by gossip?”

However, Olivia smiled innocently and snuggled into Louis’s arms. “I don’t care about all this. The person I’m going to marry is Louis. As long as we can be together, I’m satisfied.”

“You!” Bertha knocked her head in exasperation. “How did I give birth to such a disappointing daughter like you? I’m done with you!”

She snorted and turned to leave.
