Lahat ng Kabanata ng Countdown to My Divorce: Kabanata 511 - Kabanata 520

"That's why we called him over today," Gerald finished. Howard chimed in, "Mr. Lloyd, Mrs. Lloyd, don't worry. I've fancied Ms. Lloyd for a long time. I'll surely treat her well as my wife. As for the betrothal gifts, feel free to raise your request. We won't shortchange her at all."His mention of betrothal gifts widened the smile on Sasha's face."Just listen to how sincere Mr. Ziegler is! He's worlds apart from Mr. West's younger brother with his nose stuck up in the air, as if he's all that."Instead of flaring up at Sasha, Rachel looked at her with narrowed eyes and said with a bright smile that didn't reach her eyes, "Since you think Mr. Ziegler is so amazing, why don't you divorce my dad and marry him instead?""How audacious! Rachel, how dare you talk to us like that when we raised you so painstakingly?" Gerald berated.Sasha grabbed Rachel's hand and said comfortingly, "Rachel, I don't care what you say about me, but your grandpa's health has been ailing for the past fe

"How about considering picking up where you left off with Yvette? As for Rachel's marriage, leave it to us to decide. Her grandfather has already struck an agreement with the Zieglers, and we can't go back on our word."Just then, Howard stood up, looking at Tyler and Rachel like they were a shameless, cheating couple.He rubbed his nose and said slovenly, "So this is the woman you've been waiting for all these years of being single."As if he hadn't said enough, he drew close to Tyler and tilted his chin at the latter, a wicked sneer on his lips."You must have already slept with her. Was it great? I can understand why you might not bear to leave her after having your fun with her, but are you sure your father won't break your legs if you let a divorcee marry into your family?"Tyler shot him a sideways glance, his jawline tensing. "You mean, you're just fooling around and don't really want to marry her? You'll just return her when you get sick of her?"Howard fell silent in t

"You'd better make the right choice if you know what's good for you!"Gerald thought that threatening Rachel with money and her career prospects would make her yield.He had seen for himself what Rachel was capable of doing for Lloyd Enterprise during this period. The more one sacrificed for something, the deeper one would feel invested in it. He strongly believed that no one in this world would say no to power and wealth.Rachel's silence on the matter gave Gerald the confidence that he was in control of the situation.At the next second, however, Rachel looked up. Tyler saw a glint in her eyes that shone so bright, it was a beacon of hope amidst the darkness Rachel was thrown into."Sure, I can give up the company shares I have and my role in the company. I can give up everything that has to do with this family. Will that do?"Gerald's jaw dropped and his eyes widened at Rachel's announcement."Are…are you sure you've thought it through? If I were to announce to the public tha

However, there was nothing Yvette could do about it. She was no match for Rachel in every regard.Just then, Sasha chimed in. "Rachel, that's not right of you! Since you've decided to cut ties with our family, you shouldn't be interfering with the family business.""I'm not interfering with the family business. I'm just telling Dad the truth. Since you have no intention of discussing Dad's condition, then may we never meet again. I hope you won't ever have to beg me for help if you encounter any trouble from here on."With that, Rachel turned around and walked out, her back ramrod straight."Wait!" Howard yelled.Rachel turned around and shot him an aggravating smile. "Mr. Ziegler, you heard it yourself just now. I'm no longer a daughter of the Lloyd family. I'm afraid your plan to marry me is now foiled. But…"Rachel turned to cast a glance in Yvette's direction."There is still one daughter left in the Lloyd family. You may want to consider marrying Yvette instead, Mr. Ziegler

"Why didn't you tell me that earlier? I'll have Wanda prepare some nourishing soup for you."Rachel arched her brow, surprised at his reaction. "Are you not upset?"Tyler smiled as he returned to his seat and smoothed out his shirt."Ms. Lloyd, do you really think I'm a starving wolf that'll die of hunger if I don't swallow you whole right this minute?"Rachel cleared her throat. "Well, not really."It was just that Tyler's reaction was so unmistakable, she could even sense the change in him physically. Rachel wondered, wouldn't men find it a torment to remain aroused without an outlet to release themselves? His reaction had clearly betrayed what he was feeling inside.Tyler rubbed her head affectionately, reminiscent of how he liked to rub Ray's."It's not as though I haven't seen a woman for 800 years. Quit looking at me like I'm that desperate."Rachel mumbled under her breath, "It's more like you haven't touched a woman for 800 years."Tyler patted the back of Rachel's c
