All Chapters of Countdown to My Divorce: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

After what happened with Tammy, Rachel was rather worried. Did she just hop from one trap to another?She now felt as though everyone was trying to harm her.As she followed Samantha, Rachel asked, "Weren't you with William? How could he possibly let you roam around alone like this?"Samantha turned around and gave Rachel what was supposed to be a normal smile, but she thought she sensed something else in it.In her usual innocent tone, Samantha said, "Rachel, why are you being so suspicious? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to find your way back."Rachel hated seeing that mild and harmless mask on Samantha's face, which hid the sinister and malicious thoughts the latter harbored.She looked icily at Samantha and cut straight to the chase. "William isn't around, so you don't need to bother putting on an act. Let's be honest with each other, shall we?"The smile on Samantha's face deepened; her eyes were crystal-clear, never failing to evoke the desire in men to pro

Rachel looked back at Howard and saw that devil-may-care look on his face, which bore no signs of panic whatsoever.Fear crept up on Rachel; she felt suffocated, as though she were floating on the surface of the ocean.She had thought Howard was just a playful, rich heir of a wealthy family who was too arrogant for his own good, given how much his grandfather spoiled him.She never expected him to show such disregard for life.If Samantha was suffering from a hemorrhage in her skull from hitting her head against that rock and didn't receive treatment in time, it could very well be a matter of life and death.Yet, Howard remained cold and indifferent about it, his attention solely on Rachel."To think that William alone wasn't enough, and you had to hook up with Tyler as well. What is Tyler giving you in return? Have you already slept with him? You're so beautiful, he must have slept with you—unless he has a problem."Howard had never seen a woman as beautiful as Rachel. Somehow,

Rachel's eyes widened. "When did I push you?"Samantha flinched at Rachel's exclamation, looking as pitiful as an injured puppy. In a trembling voice, she murmured, "Rachel, I'm not blaming you. I accidentally fell."Rachel raised her voice. "I repeat, I did not push you."Samantha pursed her lips and remained silent, but the pitiful look on her face spoke volumes.William's brows furrowed as he turned to look at Rachel."Even if you have something against Samantha, you can't push her! You can always come to me and tell me what's on your mind. I can explain things to you."Rachel was no longer taken aback by William defending Samantha. Her heart had turned numb long ago.She simply stared at him and repeated herself, "I'm telling you, I didn't touch her."William's eyes turned even darker, like the clouds in the sky, telling of an impending storm. "You and she were the only ones around!"William gave his final word, which sent Rachel into despair. She didn't even have the desi

Rachel saw Cecilia off and lay on the bed to try to get some rest, but her mind was in chaos.She got changed to head out for a stroll. If it weren't for her wound, she really wanted to take a shower.The mere thought of Howard's hands on her made her stomach churn.She took a deep breath and suppressed the discomfort she felt and headed outdoors. After a couple of twists and turns, she chanced upon a courtyard. It was covered in well-landscaped greenery, which relaxed her at once. The paths in the garden were paved with stones. There was a swing right in the middle of the clearing, surrounded by beautiful flowers.Rachel enjoyed spending time in an environment like this, which never failed to relax her tense nerves.She walked closer to the swing and slowly sat down on it, grabbing the rope on both sides. She swung her legs and started swinging back and forth.She thought about how hard William pushed her, and the disappointment and rage she saw in his eyes.Over the years, W

Howard's presence was an eyesore. His grandfather had spoiled him too much. Given how powerful the Zieglers were in Yurelia City and the relationship his family had with theirs, Tyler couldn't really do much to Howard.All Tyler could do was teach Howard a small lesson on occasion.Still, it was precisely because no one could do anything to Howard that allowed him to be so unscrupulous.The only difference was that while others wouldn't even dare think about laying a finger on Howard, Tyler had a way to somewhat bring Howard under control. At the very least, Howard wouldn't be so unbridled.Shiloh looked in the direction Rachel left. "You could have explained things to her just now. Her colleagues from Lewis Enterprise only came over because you informed them about what happened."Otherwise, who would go to such a secluded part of the woods?Tyler took one last pull of his cigarette and tugged his tie on his collar, and said indifferently, "Must I claim credit for every good thin
