Alle Kapitel von Countdown to My Divorce: Kapitel 201 – Kapitel 210

Tyler's attitude made it seem like the kiss didn't even mean anything, but the black suit he wore added a sense of seriousness to the situation.Rachel often felt like Tyler had several personalities living inside him. She could never figure out what this man was really thinking.Under the dim, hazy light above her, Rachel quietly studied him. She knew full well that trying to play mind games with someone like him was basically suicide.She awkwardly looked away."Just take that as me returning the favor. Don't bring it up again."She once again reminded herself that this was the last time they'd see each other. She needed to cut all ties with him.Tyler looked up. "Giving up that easily?"Rachel clenched her fists. It somehow felt like she was being challenged. She suddenly turned and looked at him slyly. "What, are you hoping I'll kiss you?"Tyler gave her a look that was impossible to read. "Either way works for me."Rachel pouted. "Not interested."This man acted like he

Just as Tyler finished speaking, he grabbed a broken stick from the ground and charged at the man. Rachel watched, her heart pounding.She looked around frantically, hoping to find something that could be used as a weapon. She spotted a trash can lid. It couldn't exactly be used as a weapon.Meanwhile, Tyler and the man had gotten into a full-on brawl. Tyler had swiftly taken the advantage. Rachel stood frozen. She was stunned by what she saw.She had never imagined Tyler could fight like that. Every punch he threw landed right on target.One strike and the man crumpled to the ground and curled up in pain. Sweat poured down his forehead, his face pale.Rachel rushed forward and grabbed Tyler's arm. "Let's go!"They turned to leave, but didn't notice the man scramble to his feet. He pulled a knife from his coat and charged at them.Tyler barely caught the motion in the corner of his eye. By the time he turned, the blade was already heading straight for Rachel.Without a second

Rachel just found it funny. "I couldn't afford to do that even if I wanted to."Never mind the fact that Tyler clearly came from money, his unpredictable nature alone was enough. Who would dare try to be his sugar mommy?Doing that would be like bringing an untamed beast home. You never knew when it might turn around and bite you.Just then, there was a knock on the door.Rachel turned around and saw Tyler's assistant, Tim, walk in."Mr. Hunt, the things you asked for have been delivered." Tim set a bag of fresh clothes on the nightstand. Tyler gestured toward a white box on top. "That's yours," he said to Rachel. "Go change in the bathroom. Wash your face while you're at it. You look awful."The first half of that sentence sounded fine, but the second half made Rachel's brows furrow instantly.She instinctively raised a hand to her face. "Is it that bad?""Go look in the mirror."Tyler looked away and slowly started pulling clothes out of the bag.Rachel didn't argue. She

Tyler's eyes darkened. He looked like the devil. "You should know I don't like wasting words. Go back to the office and submit your resignation."Tim's eyes widened in panic. "Mr. Hunt, can't you give me just one more chance? I really had no choice. My child has leukemia."He's only three years old. I can't just give up on him. The medical bills are overwhelming, and I can't afford them anymore. Please, I've worked for you for so many years. Just this once, I'm begging you."Tyler's tone remained resolute. "If you've been with me that long, you should know I never change my mind once I've made a decision."Rachel didn't feel it was her place to interfere with how Tyler handled his own company affairs.From her perspective, she might've taken Tim's situation into consideration, but Tyler clearly wasn't someone who showed mercy easily.Tim looked completely crushed. It was as if his whole world had collapsed."Mr. Hunt, I swear I didn't mean to do it. I was desperate. What else cou

"It's true. His family does have a child with leukemia. And yes, he's been pocketing quite a bit of money. Roughly a million," Yale reported calmly.Rachel couldn't help but gasp.Tim must have had a death wish. Did he actually embezzle a million dollars from Tyler?A million sounded like a lot, and it was. But when it came to a disease like leukemia, even that amount might not go very far. No matter how much money one had, illness had a way of burning through it like fire through paper.If Tyler really chose to pursue the matter, Tim was done for. If Tim couldn't repay it, he'd be facing prison.Tyler frowned slightly. A look of surprise flickered in his eyes. "That much?""Yeah. Maybe you hadn't noticed before," Yale replied.Yale could understand. Tyler was the type to focus all his attention on business. He barely spent any mental effort on the logistics of his personal life. Probably because of the recent rush with the Oasis project, Tyler had simply overlooked these things
