Wasn't that enough?Yet, Rachel no longer wanted to bring these up. There was no need for her to.It was time for their seven-year-long relationship to draw to a close."You've already signed the contract, so there's no point discussing this. We should instead think about how to handle the project well. This project was birthed for the sake of the company and not Ms. Judd, after all," Rachel said. Samantha pursed her lips; she glanced at Rachel as she said chokingly, "But Rachel, what about me? After all this, this project no longer has anything to do with me anymore. It's very important to me. Without it, I have no way of gaining a foothold in the country.""Rachel, even if you wanted to be in charge of Project Oasis, you should be considerate of others. Samantha poured her heart and soul into this project, too! And now, you're just kicking her out for no good reason. That's simply too much!" William said coldly.Rachel arched a brow. Was she too much?She wouldn't have uttere

After all, one would remain calm if one didn't care.It was exactly how Rachel felt about William and Samantha right now; she didn't care about them one bit. This was probably how an utterly broken heart felt.Just as well—an amicable split was miles better than an ugly separation.At night, when Rachel stepped out of the washroom fresh from a shower, someone barged into her room and gave her a huge fright. She instinctively tightened her grip over the towel and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Samantha.The next moment, her brows furrowed."Ms. Judd, don't you know that it's basic courtesy to knock before entering someone else's room?"Samantha looked down awkwardly. "I'm sorry, Rachel. I forgot."Rachel released the hand clutching her chest and asked, "What do you want?""William bought supper and wants you to join us."Rachel hesitated for a moment. Samantha spoke as though she were the mistress of the house—as if Rachel was the guest Samantha was inviting

It was also a good chance for Rachel to spend more time with Cecilia before she left for good.Samantha looked coyly at Rachel, her ears turning pink. "Rachel, are you deliberately staying elsewhere because you don't want to see me?""Not at all! Please make yourself at home," Rachel said generously.The knot on William's brows unravelled at Rachel's words.He reassured Samantha, "Don't worry. Since Rachel has said so, just make yourself comfortable here. I might not be able to come home on days when I work overtime at the office, so remember to lock the door."Rachel couldn't be bothered to stick around and watch them put on an act. She was racking her brain for a way to take her leave when her phone rang.Her tense muscles relaxed. She had never wanted to receive a call as badly as she did right now.She waved her phone at Samantha and William. "I need to take a call. Please continue eating."Rachel returned to her room, and saw that her grandfather was calling. She really

Yvette felt a sudden chill run down her spine.Rachel walked up to Yvette and said, "Did you tell Grandpa it was you who drugged Tyler? He said to your face that he'd be coming after the Lloyd family for answers."So instead of wasting time on me, maybe you two should start figuring out how to deal with Tyler. I don't need to tell you how difficult he is to handle."At the thought of Tyler's facial expression back then, Yvette instantly started to panic.Gerald instinctively turned to look at Yvette. "Is what Rachel said true? Did you drug Tyler?"Yvette stepped back reflexively."I didn't have a choice, Grandpa. Tyler clearly wasn't interested in me. If I hadn't done something, I wouldn't have even gotten close to him."As she spoke, she pointed at Rachel and shifted all the blame to her."It's her fault! She ruined everything! If it weren't for her, Tyler and I would already be together. With pressure from the public, he would've had no choice but to marry me!"Rachel didn't

Rachel stood silently nearby, but she couldn't hold back her laughter.Gerald was shifting all the blame onto her.Usually, he didn't even acknowledge her as part of the Lloyd family. To him, she wasn't one of their own. She was just an outsider. But now that someone needed to take the fall for Yvette, he suddenly remembered Rachel was her older sister.Seeing the change in circumstances, Yvettte quickly chipped in."Yeah, this really has nothing to do with me. It was Rachel who told me to wait there. She said you were hard to deal with, Mr. Hunt, so I just came up with this idea."Rachel honestly didn't even know what to say about this family anymore. Her entire existence boiled down to being a scapegoat for the Lloyds.She didn't defend herself. Just like Gerald said, perhaps this could be her way of repaying them for raising her all these years.Tyler's dark, icy gaze reflexively shifted to Rachel. Her right cheek was still red and slightly swollen.She kept her eyes down. H
