Chapter 382

Author: Tina Peach
"I told you from the start—her sudden return was definitely fishy!"

"Exactly! I mean, come on. Someone who disappeared for five years just shows up out of the blue? And we're supposed to believe it's just to check in on her sick father?"

"If she really cared, where was she all this time?"

"Right? It's such a fake act! When he was alive and well, she was nowhere to be found. Now that he's on his deathbed, suddenly she remembers she has a foster father? Give me a break!"

"If you were really here just for your dad, no one would say anything. But you came back for the Lloyd family's fortune!"

Yvette was covering her mouth, sobbing tragically as she spoke.

"Yes, Rachel. No matter what, you shouldn't have forced Dad to give you part of his inheritance. If you were truly in need of money, you could've just told us. We were a family once. We wouldn't have let you struggle. You didn't have to make a scene like this."

Sasha, too, dabbed at her eyes with a tissue, crying so hard she looke

  • Countdown to My Divorce   Chapter 394

    Howard pointed at Tyler, who sat there like he couldn't care less. "Tyler, you've got guts. Just you wait!"Tyler smirked and lifted his chin a little. "Oh, I've got guts, alright. As for you, well, that's up for debate."Howard was so furious that he clenched his jaw. He shook his uninjured hand threateningly as he stormed out of the restaurant.Cecilia let out a long sigh of relief and tugged Rachel back to her seat. Around them, the bystanders who had just witnessed the drama couldn't help but give Rachel a thumbs-up.Whispers of admiration came pouring in."Damn, that girl was badass. Did you see that move? So cool!""I know Howard Ziegler. He's one of the most arrogant, fearless heirs in the city. Even other rich kids who can't stand him usually just back off. No one wants to mess with his family. With his grandfather's background, who would dare?""Exactly.""But did you see how she just locked up his wrist? I didn't even catch the movement before hearing the sound of bon

    If Rachel hadn't seen Howard with her own eyes, she might have completely forgotten about him.At first, Howard only noticed Tyler. But as he walked closer, he spotted Rachel.A cigarette dangled from Howard's lips. He wore a black shirt with the collar flung open carelessly, revealing his collarbone, a prominent Adam's apple, and sharp jawlines. Through the haze of smoke, his playful gaze locked onto her."Tsk, tsk. If it isn't Rachel? Five years gone and you've blossomed. You're different now. Classier. Prettier, too."Rachel's expression remained cold. She hadn't given Howard the time of day five years ago, and she sure wasn't about to now.She lowered her head and sipped her coffee without even sparing him a glance.As for Tyler, who was seated across from her, he didn't even look at Howard.Howard didn't feel the least bit awkward. Instead, he strolled right up to Rachel and reached out to touch her cheek."Come on now, Rachel. Don't tell me you've forgotten everything, li

    When Yale mentioned Tyler's mother, there was a fleeting gleam in his eyes. It was the kind of admiration that Rachel couldn't help but notice. It only made her more curious. What kind of beauty was this woman, to inspire such natural reverence at the mere mention of her name? Judging by Tyler's looks alone, his mother must've been just as stunning and elegant.The car finally pulled up in front of Moon & Barrel. Rachel initially thought Tyler was here for a meal. Since they had hitched a ride with him, it seemed impolite to ask to be dropped off elsewhere. After all, they couldn't just treat him like a chauffeur.Once the car stopped, Rachel politely turned to Yale. "Thank you, Yale. If there's nothing else, we'll just head out."Yale blinked in confusion."Ms. Lloyd, Mr. Hunt said you two are joining him for dinner."Cecilia gasped and instinctively turned to look at the lavish, upscale Moon & Barrel. She had passed by it countless times, but never stepped foot inside. It

    Rachel was dumbfounded. She glanced at Cecilia and Yale, who both looked equally baffled, and tried to check if she had heard it right."Are you being serious?" she asked."I didn't sleep well last night," Tyler said.He leaned his elbow against the side of his chiseled jaw. The natural aggression in his features was now muted by his lazy demeanor.Cecilia turned curiously. "Rachel, why is he asking you to sing?"Rachel didn't quite know how to explain. "It's just—""Rachel here signed a contract with me five years ago. She owed me a favor. In the end, she tricked me. Now that she's back, don't you think she should fulfill her duty?"Tyler's eyes narrowed slightly. He lounged lazily in the backseat. His tone, though casual, carried that same teasing edge that made Rachel's face instantly flush red.Truth be told, it was her fault.Cecilia, who didn't dare to question Tyler, could only stare at Rachel. "Rachel, what's going on between you and Mr. Hunt?"Rachel hesitated. "I'll

    "Ms. Lloyd, do you need a ride?" Yale asked.Rachel hesitated for just a second. Seeing Samantha behind her, cheeks flushed red as if she were about to catch up, she nodded without hesitation."Sure."Right now, Samantha and William were an even bigger threat than Tyler. She didn't hesitate to slide into the car with Cecilia, and Yale smoothly pulled away from the curb.Samantha watched the car drive off and stomped her foot in frustration. She pouted at William. "William, what did Rachel mean by that just now? Don't tell me you actually want to get back together with her?"William's eyes were dark and unreadable. He shoved his hands into his pockets, looking completely uninterested. "You should be thinking about how you're going to cover the losses."Samantha's heart sank; when she saw William turning to leave, she quickly grabbed his arm, eyes panicked as she tried to explain. "William, you can't just walk away from me like this! You agreed to those investments too, didn't

    "I don't know for sure. Back then, there were rumors that you had crossed someone dangerous. People said someone wanted to hurt you, but it was never confirmed. Then you suddenly disappeared. The police didn't even dare conclude whether you were really dead or not," William said.Rachel narrowed her eyes, glaring at him."So you did know something about my disappearance five years ago. But instead of helping, you pretended to know nothing. You took the divorce agreement I left behind and used it to paint yourself as some kind of victim. You turned me into a tool to cleanse your reputation, to step on and use. You're disgusting."At this point, Rachel didn't even feel anger—just a deep, cold revulsion. She had no more hope or expectations for William.They had once loved each other and gone through hell just to be together. Yet, when her life was hanging in the balance, and when she vanished from the world, her husband hadn't just turned his back. No, he had driven the knife in de
