Semua Bab Countdown to My Divorce: Bab 161 - Bab 170

Samantha's eyes widened at Rachel's words, her entire body growing tense.Everyone else looked at Rachel with curiosity, excited to hear some groundbreaking news.Samantha clenched her fists as she stared at Rachel with flushed cheeks, feeling her heart in her throat.A moment later, Rachel burst into laughter."I'm just joking! Don't take it so seriously. Eat more, Ms. Judd. Look at how skinny you are. How will you take care of your boyfriend when you eventually have one?"Samantha's face stiffened, and she forced a smile. Rachel even gave her a pat on her shoulder before leaving. Samantha could feel a sheen of sweat on her back.After Rachel left, everyone at the table turned their attention to her. Many colleagues surrounded her and bombarded her with questions."Oh my gosh, Ms. Judd! Are you really in a relationship?""Why didn't I hear about this before?""Is your boyfriend's surname also Lewis? Is he a brother or a relative of Mr. Lewis?""Why didn't you tell us you hav

Someone snuck a peek at Rachel and said mockingly, "I wouldn't come out if I were her. Perhaps, I'd even leave the company right away.""Don't say that. I heard from the grapevine that Rachel secretly handed in her resignation.""Well, what else can she do? Someone's taking her place. It'll only be embarrassing if she stays."Cecilia threw her trekking pole, overwhelmed with frustration. She yelled at the top of her lungs, "Are you people done being bullies?"One of the colleagues said through pursed lips, "So what? It's the truth, whether you like it or not. It's not like she can hear us, anyway."Cecilia had a strong urge to punch the colleague in the face. "Just because she can't hear you doesn't mean you can shoot your mouth off like that!"Rachel calmly stepped forward to pull Cecilia away. "Sit down and drink some water."Cecilia scowled at them and sent them death glares before finally retracting her gaze. That was when she realized how pale Rachel's face was."What's wr

William hung up and made his way back to Samantha.Samantha saw the worry on his face and asked, "What's wrong, William? You don't look very happy. Did Rachel say something?""Nothing. I just find her rather odd these days."Samantha subtly clenched her fists, but kept the mild and harmless smile on her face intact. "Don't worry. Perhaps she's been under slightly more pressure recently."William cast a dark glance in Rachel's way. "Hopefully so."Samantha tugged the hem of William's shirt, her voice as lilting and melodious as that of a nightingale. "William, don't be too upset. Smile and think about our baby in my belly."The mention of their child eased the knot on William's brows."I know. You, too—don't think about anything else right now aside from taking care of our baby."Rachel was finding it harder to breathe as she continued on her way with Cecilia by her side. She clutched her chest, feeling suffocated all the way to her brain. With the lack of oxygen, she was also b

Rachel plunged a hand into her pocket, only to find it empty."Where's my phone?" she exclaimed.Tyler looked at her with feigned confusion. "Yeah, where's your phone?" From Tyler's tone, Rachel knew that he was fooling her once more. She looked awkwardly at him, feeling that he was playing her like a clown.Baffled by a riotous mix of chagrin and hilarity, she asked, "Mr. Hunt, quit joking around with me at a time like this. Did you find my phone somewhere?"Tyler decided to call it quits and pulled out a white phone from his pocket, flinging it at her.Rachel caught it, not missing a beat. She looked down and confirmed that it was indeed her phone."Where did you find it?"Tyler stuck both hands in his pockets and looked behind Rachel, who turned around and looked in the direction of his gaze.Her gaze landed on Tammy.She suddenly recalled how she bumped into Tammy after getting changed with Cecilia just now. She thought she had heard something, but she was so busy apolog

Rachel followed Tammy as the latter led her somewhere increasingly desolate. By then, she started sensing that something was wrong. She pulled Tammy's arm to stop her from going forward. "Where is Cecilia? Did they really come all the way here? Let's call them first."Rachel looked at her phone to dial Cecilia's number.Suddenly, Tammy pressed her hand. "Ms. Lloyd, I'm sure Mr. Hunt told you all about it."Tammy's voice no longer sounded as innocent as before. Instead, it was as cold as ice; coupled with the chill of the wind in this desolate forest, it sent chills down Rachel's spine.Rachel inhaled sharply, suddenly realizing that Tammy probably had an ulterior motive in bringing her here.She looked tense."You shouldn't be asking me that, since you've already guessed as much.""You're probably feeling all smug that Mr. Hunt rejected me," Tammy said with a self-derisive smirk.Rachel was confused. "What do you mean by that?"Tammy suddenly shoved Rachel with a look of
