All Chapters of Countdown to My Divorce: Chapter 551 - Chapter 560

Cassandra ran over as soon as she saw William's face turn pale and his body hunched over in pain."William! Are you okay?""It hurts… I think my wrist's broken."His voice had gone weak and hoarse. One could tell how much pain he was in from the sound alone.Cassandra looked harshly at Tyler, her patience wearing thin. But even then, she didn't dare raise her voice too much. There was still a lingering fear."Tyler, no matter what happened, William is still family. How could you do this to him over a woman who's not even blood-related? How could you be so cruel?"Anyone else might've tried to explain themselves or argue back, but not Tyler. He didn't even blink."You already know I'm cruel, so why keep poking the bear? You all know exactly what I'm like. I don't play nice. And if you're smart, you'll stay away from Rachel."He wrapped an arm around Rachel's waist. When his gaze shifted to her, that stormy edge in his eyes softened."If we stay any longer, no one's going to be

Thomas sighed and waved. "Forget it. But seriously, you know exactly what Tyler's like. Why would you go and provoke him?""I tried to talk William out of it, but you know the history between him and Rachel. Dad, can't you try talking some sense into Tyler? He's dating William's ex-wife! If word gets out, it won't just damage William's reputation—yours will be dragged down with it, too. The Lewis family name has stood strong for generations. Are we really going to let it all fall apart because of Rachel?" Cassandra insisted. Of course Thomas understood all that, but what could he do?He had spent his life keeping everything under control. Everyone in the Lewis family revolved around him, everyone except Tyler. He was born defiant.No matter what Thomas tried, nothing ever worked on Tyler. Their relationship had deteriorated to what it was now simply because neither of them would back down. If either one had been willing to compromise even a little, things might've turned out diffe

Rachel glared at Tyler, giving him a look like she had just been yanked from a heartfelt moment straight into wanting to punch someone.She propped herself up and tilted her head toward him."Tyler, do me a favor and explain what exactly you meant by not messing with someone's dog unless they're ready to deal with the owner."Tyler gave a sheepish grin and reached over to pat her on the head again. "Oh, come on. Don't be so petty, Rachel. It was just a metaphor. I wasn't actually saying you're a dog."Rachel was silent, then swatted his hand away."You might as well not have explained."Trying to explain just made it worse.Once they got back to the apartment, Tyler opened the door, tossed his keys on the table, shrugged off his jacket, and casually called out to Wanda."Wanda, just whip up something simple. Keep the spice down. Light and plain."Wanda poked her head out from the kitchen, clearly aware why they hadn't stayed to eat at the family estate."But sir, don't you us

Rachel couldn't help but frown. She lowered her voice."What do you mean?""It's something strange I discovered. When the fire happened, it looked like William didn't show up until later, but there's a gap in his alibi during that time. Like, no one knows exactly where he was. In other words, there's a period where his whereabouts are completely unaccounted for."And the people who were with you during the fire? Pretty much all of them have disappeared, too. Everyone connected to that incident has gone off the grid."Just hearing that gave Rachel the chills. The more she thought about it, the more unsettling it felt. If William had nothing to hide, then why had everyone involved vanished into thin air?That fire had been so intense that even the firefighters hesitated to charge in, but William somehow made it out without a scratch.She blamed herself. Back then, she had been too blinded by love to notice the red flags. If she had paid more attention, maybe she wouldn't have been

By the time they were done, Rachel's arm was killing her.She had to admit, there were times when a guy finishing fast wasn't the worst thing. Tyler, on the other hand, exhausted her.She shook out her sore wrist just as Tyler walked out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel, a satisfied look plastered across his face. He shot her a glance."So, what exactly were you looking for on my inner thigh?"Rachel froze.Right. That was what she came in for.She hadn't gotten any answers, but she had helped Tyler with something else entirely.Still, after what just happened, she didn't feel quite so shy anymore."I told you. There's this thing I read online. Apparently, you can tell how long someone's going to live by checking their inner thigh."Tyler gave her a skeptical look, the kind that said he wouldn't believe her in a million years.Under his stern gaze, Rachel felt a chill down her back, but she clenched her fists and doubled down."I'm serious! I really read that somewhere
