Chapter 97

Penulis: Tina Peach
But there was no way around it—if this contract wasn't signed, Rachel couldn't leave.

Even without looking, Rachel could feel Samantha and William's glares stabbing into her like needles. After Tyler pulled that move, everyone probably thought she was on his side.

Otherwise, why would he hand something this important to her instead of reviewing it himself?

Rachel hesitated for a moment, then finally reached out and took the contract. Then, she braced herself as she flipped through the pages. After checking everything carefully, she looked at Tyler and said, "Mr. Hunt, I've gone through it. Everything looks fine."

Tyler waved his hand. "Good. Go ahead and sign it."

As soon as the contract was signed, Samantha couldn't hold it in anymore and quickly said, "I'll let you all keep talking. I need some air."

William took the document and instinctively looked at Rachel. She knew exactly what that meant. But no matter what, she wasn't going to let William be the one to speak first—not w

    A thought suddenly came to William's mind."Any news from the Lloyds as of late?" he pressed further."The Lloyds will be holding their shareholders' meeting tomorrow," Arsen said. "Seems like it'll be about the distribution of their family assets."William rubbed his chin, his voice lower than usual. "If that's the case, Rachel will be there for sure. Have the lawyer pick up speed. Get me out of here as fast as he can!"Let's see how Rachel can hide from him!"Yes, sir," Arsen said with a nod."As for that overseas project… Even before I was stuck here, I kept reminding you to follow up closely on it! Use company funds to cover the gaps if need be!""But sir, Mrs. Lewis diverted some company funds for her investments. She can't pull them out just yet."Veins popped on William's forehead. He punched the table hard, a storm brewing in his eyes. "Where's the money?! Make her cough it out! How dare she ruin such a major project! Where is she?""Driven by the pressure the shareh

    "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm happy that you're helping me like this," Cecilia said. "Lloyd Enterprise's shareholder meeting will be held tomorrow to discuss the distribution of my father's assets. I must quickly settle this issue regarding your apartment," Rachel said."Just tell me if you need my help," Cecilia assured her."I need another favor from you. Help me check on things on William's end. I worry he won't be detained for much longer."Even if Tyler agreed not to help hasten William's release, the Lewis family and William himself would find an alternative way. Still, Tyler's intervention would significantly shorten William's detainment. Cecilia agreed readily to it. "No problem! I'm on it."Rachel nodded before dialing a strange number. "Have you submitted the proposal?""Don't worry, Rachel. I've done it. I amended the proposal as you told me to, so there shouldn't be much of a problem," came the reply. "Okay. I'm counting on you."Rachel had been burning the midnig

    Arsen was stunned by the sudden question. He had to pause for a moment before replying, his tone cautious. "Mrs. Lewis, you shouldn't need to ask me this question. You probably know the answer to it. Pardon me, but I have to get back to work."With that, Arsen hung up.Samantha stood rooted to the ground, her face sullen. She tightened her grip over the phone, veins bulging in the back of her hand. Mrs. Judd approached her and patted her gently on her shoulder."How are things between you and William as of late? What do you mean, Rachel's returning and whether William will reconcile with her? Aren't you the woman he loves?"Samantha was running out of time to explain things to her mom. There was no way she could make things clear to her mom, anyway. Her mom would never understand."Alright now, Mom. Let me deal with my problems. All you need to do right now is to give me the money to put out the fire."Mrs. Judd owed everything she had today to her daughter. Naturally, she wo

    "You're not even worthy to be called a human. In that case, there's no need for me to show you any mercy," Cecilia went on."Look closely! It's stated very clearly here that if you make me move out prematurely, raise the prices, or refuse to rent me the apartment during the contractual period, you'll have to pay me liquidated damages of one million dollars!"At the mention of one million dollars, Samantha felt as though the sky was falling on her."What does this have to do with me?" she immediately rebuffed. "I wasn't the one who signed the contract with you. Find whoever it was who signed it!"Cecilia wasn't at all surprised by Samantha's remark. She nodded pensively. "Since you insist on being so stubborn, we'll just have to go through the legal proceedings."With that, she stepped aside, allowing a man immaculately dressed in a suit to walk in."Ms. Judd, I am Ms. Young's lawyer. Having read through the contract your husband signed, you have two options right now. You eithe

    A look of dread and fear crossed Samantha's face, but she quickly recovered and held her mother's hands with a smile."Oh, Mom! Just listen to yourself! How could I possibly wreck someone's family? All those comments online are nothing but nonsense. I would never ruin someone's family! It's all Cecilia Young, Rachel's friend. She's the one cooking up stories and spreading nasty rumors!"At that, Mrs. Judd's face brightened somewhat."Listen to me, Samantha. Our family may be poor, but we'd never allow something so immoral to happen under our noses. Do you hear me?"Samantha, desperate and worried, was in no mood to discuss ethics with her mother."I know, Mom. Anyway, do you have money right now?""Yes. How much do you need?"All the money Ms. Judd had came from Samantha herself, who was generous to give when she had plenty and less so when things were tighter. Aside from medical and usual expenses, Mrs. Judd managed to save most of the money.Samantha put up all five fingers.

    There was only one way for Samantha, which was to seek help from her mother.Samantha called her mom and said anxiously, "Mom, can you come to my house right now? I have something I need help with."Mrs. Judd immediately agreed to it.Samantha hung up and called for a cab.Meanwhile, Cecilia observed everything that was going on and dialed Rachel's number."Rachel, it's just as you expected! Samantha took the bait. She just left in a cab.""Head over right now and do as I've said," Rachel said. Unable to hold back her curiosity, Cecilia asked, "Rachel, what else are you hiding from me? What else have you planned? Seeing you like this makes me uneasy.""Don't worry, Cecilia," Rachel comforted her, "I'll make up for all the injustice you've suffered for my sake during your time at Lewis Enterprise."Aside from being occupied by her father's affairs, Rachel had more or less caught up with what had happened over the past five years since her departure.All the shameless things W
