บททั้งหมดของ Countdown to My Divorce: บทที่ 101 - บทที่ 110

Rachel's mind went blank; she felt even more panicked than she did the last time she found herself drugged."What should we do, then?"Someone popped into Rachel's mind, and she asked cautiously, "Why don't I call Yvette here? Don't worry, I'll keep this a secret. I won't let her become a threat to you. I can be your witness that she was the one who drugged you."Rachel raised her right hand solemnly, as if making an oath.The lights in the washroom were as bright as day, but Tyler's eyes were deep and dark. Rachel's heart raced as she waited for his reply.After a long time, he said, "Rachel, do you think I'm a dumpsite? That I'd take anyone who comes my way?"Rachel didn't understand what he meant. "You should be more concerned about tiding through the drug's effects right now. It's just easing a biological urge. Just shut your eyes and you won't see anything.""Hmm, makes sense. I wouldn't be able to see a thing with the lights switched off anyway," Tyler said. His agreem

The drug Rachel had been given was a different one. It was a banned substance that couldn't be bought from proper channels, clearly something prohibited by law.However, Tyler would have no problems resisting the effects of ordinary aphrodisiacs by willpower alone, albeit a very tough process."You…"Rachel walked back to the washroom with the phone in hand and saw Tyler with his shirt completely unbuttoned. His chest muscles were exposed right before her, and the mere sight made her blush. Her legs were rooted to the ground, unable to move an inch.When he heard no response over the phone, Xavier called out to Rachel, "Ms. Lloyd?""Oh, I'm still here. He looks slightly pained, but not too bad.""You have to help him get some relief, or the drug effects will only accumulate inside his body and, in the worst case scenario, he might die from it," Xavier said."D-Die from it?" Rachel's face turned pale.When she had been drugged, she did feel as though she was on the verge of de

"You shouldn't have snatched him from me! Rachel, who do you think you are? Do you think you're still the heiress of the Lloyd family? I'm telling you, quit dreaming! I'm the only legitimate daughter of the Lloyd family, while you're nothing!" Yvette spat viciously."And who do you think you are?"A voice growled from inside the room.Tyler stepped out in a bathrobe, his hair still wet at the ends. His gaze was penetrating, and the sharp arch of his brow was enough to silence another.The hair on Yvette's arms stood on end when she saw Tyler's expression. Immediately, her face turned pale with fright."I… Mr. Hunt, don't believe a word of what my sister said! She was the one who drugged your drink! She wanted to find a chance to hook up with you and then pin the blame on me!"Rachel looked at Yvette in disbelief; she didn't expect the latter to push the blame entirely on her.Tyler raised a hand and rubbed his brow. "Is that so? I was wondering why she was so eager to raise a to

Yvette was probably cooking up a high tale to William right now.Tyler chuckled. "What are you afraid of? He should be worried about Samantha and himself.""I'm not afraid. I just don't want more trouble."Rachel was going to leave this town and simply wanted an amicable split with William. She treasured their relationship when they were in love, and didn't want things to get too ugly now that she had decided to leave.It was completely unnecessary. Tyler looked up and sighed."Fine. Since you helped me out just now, I'll very reluctantly save you this time. From now on, as long as I need you, you'll have to say yes with no strings attached.""No problem," Rachel said without any hesitation.She wouldn't be seeing Tyler again after this—assuming she could get over this crisis in the first place.Tyler stood up and walked to the door to open it. Before Rachel could make a run for it, the door swung open. In that split second, she considered taking her own life there and then

Just then, her phone rang.Rachel knew it was William calling even before she looked at the screen.Her brows furrowed. What was the meaning of this? William knew she couldn't hear him, so why was he deliberately calling her?Rachel ignored the call.Soon, William sent her a text. [Are you with Tyler?]Rachel sneered. What a busy man he was! He was probably busy keeping Samantha company at the hospital. Why would he have the time to show her concern?Instead of replying to his question, Rachel asked him back: [Where are you?][I'm outside, attending to something. Answer my question.]Rachel stared at his perfunctory response and couldn't be bothered to text a reply. She switched her phone off and said to Tyler, "I'm heading back."Tyler pointed at her face. "Like this?"That was when Rachel remembered the slap Yvette gave her earlier. She left the hotel room in such a panic earlier that she completely forgot about it."It's fine. I'm heading back. Thank you in advance for Pr
