All Chapters of Countdown to My Divorce: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Given Tyler's character, shouldn't he give his dog a more manly name like Lightning or something? Rachel found it odd. Tyler glanced at his wristwatch. "You're headed downtown, aren't you?""Yeah.""I need to pick up a document in my office. I can begrudgingly give you a ride."Tyler made it sound as though she was begging to sit in his car.However, his condominium was located in a very secluded place in the suburbs. It was convenient for Rachel to come here by bus from the city, but to do the same from here to the city wasn't that straightforward.As the saying goes, a wise man submits to his circumstances.Rachel forced a smile and bit out, "Thank you very much, Mr. Hunt."Tyler picked up his car key on the coffee table, hooked it on his finger, and brushed past Rachel, saying lazily, "Next time, don't smile if you don't feel like it. That smile was way too ugly."Rachel stood stunned for a moment before raising her brow awkwardly.She didn't want to smile, but it didn't

Tyler's eyes narrowed. "Do you think he's pursuing me?"Rachel looked confused. "Wasn't he?"She realized something was wrong the moment the words left her lips."No, to be more accurate, he was pursuing both of us."Rachel didn't know why seeing her with Tyler drove Howard mad. What exactly did he want?Tyler dusted the ash from his cigarette with his fingers. "You can say that Howard is interested in you. He sees me as an enemy he wants dead. The relationship between the three of us has become rather delicate. He's getting a little too excited."Rachel said worriedly, "You should know that his grandfather treats him like a precious treasure. No one in Yurelia City dares to lay a finger on him. That collision seemed pretty serious. Will he get you in trouble?""He started it first. I was fighting a potential criminal. His grandfather should be thanking me for stopping his spoiled brat of a grandson from getting into even bigger trouble, which might drag their entire family do

"I'll go get changed," Rachel said."Oh, yes," William said. "I thought through your suggestion today, and I agree that there's no need to fire Cecilia. She's a long-time employee, and firing her over something so trivial might discourage the rest."Rachel almost burst out laughing.That was a pretty good excuse! It seemed Samantha didn't tell him about Rachel approaching her earlier today. Without a hitch in her voice, she said, "Thank you, on Cecilia's behalf."William bent over and drew close to Rachel, breathing hot air against her skin. "Why so polite? I know you're close to Cecilia, and she always stands up for you. I don't want to see you upset."Rachel looked calmly at him as he said those words, her heart cold and unaffected. She didn't expose him for rejecting her so blatantly at his office."Okay, got it."William's expression suddenly turned somber. "Shouldn't you explain why you went looking for Tyler? Is there something you two are hiding from me?"Rachel's back

Cecilia, on the other hand, was fired just because she tried speaking up for Rachel.The bias was so blatant.William retracted his gaze, turned around, and pointed at the meeting room."Let's go," he said to Rachel.Rachel was in disbelief. "I'm no longer a director of the company. Is it appropriate for me to attend such an important meeting?""No matter. No one will dare say a word with me around."Just like before, William's words somehow managed to put her mind at ease.Yet, there was something inexplicably different.Based on what Rachel knew of the shareholders, they would never allow such a major oversight to happen to a project under anyone's hands.Rachel wanted to see the look on William's face when he found out that the proposal for the rights to manage the project actually came from her. Would he regret not giving her oversight of Project Oasis?Had it been in her hands, such a blunder would never have happened.After entering the meeting room with William, Rache

If word were to spread, this would be ludicrous.Rachel smirked inwardly and glanced at Samantha, who was still acting as pitiful and innocent as a lamb. The woman looked nothing like the wicked schemer she truly was. Her words and actions reminded everyone that something was going on between Rachel and Tyler.The shareholders started discussing the matter."Think about it! Ever since Ms. Judd joined the company, all of Ms. Lloyd's projects were stolen from her. Even the project with Trinity Enterprise was signed under Ms. Judd's name, and Ms. Lloyd lost her position as director. She's the wife of the CEO of Lewis Enterprise, for goodness' sake! If I were her, I wouldn't stay in this company. If LS Enterprise offered me better terms, why would I stay here?""But if she were to do that, people would start gossiping about Mr. Lewis, and how his wife and his rival… Well, it'll be a huge scandal if word spreads."Rachel couldn't help but be in awe of Samantha. From now on, she would g
