All Chapters of Countdown to My Divorce: Chapter 701 - Chapter 710

Yale's expression stiffened."Mr. Hunt, why are you asking me that again? I have nothing to do with this. I've been with Ms. Lloyd the whole time. I haven't even set foot in the company. How could it possibly be me?"Tyler leaned back slightly and twirled his pen. "I never said it was you, so why are you in such a rush to defend yourself?"Only then did Yale realize he might have reacted too hastily. He quickly recovered."Apologies, Mr. Hunt. I was too anxious. I just didn't want you to misunderstand me."Tyler's gaze locked onto Yale. The depth in them was like an abyss. One wrong step, and he'd be lost forever."Yale, you've worked at my side for many years. You know my character, and you know exactly what I hate most.""Yes, Mr. Hunt. I understand."Tyler didn't want to keep beating around the bush. "This is your last chance. However you answer now, I won't bring it up again. But I want you to think carefully."The whole night felt like a rollercoaster ride to Yale, and be

Tyler stepped forward and patted her back lightly."Look at you. No one's fighting you for it. Why are you drinking so fast? Relax, it's all yours."But Rachel barely heard him. Once she caught her breath, she instinctively looked up at him."Since when did you have old flames? Haven't you been single for years?"People in Yurelia City nearly started suspecting his sexual orientation.Tyler raised a brow in amusement. "Does an old flame have to mean I actually dated them? What if it was someone who liked me but never said anything? Maybe she just watched from the shadows and waited for the chance to help me out?"Rachel nearly wanted to slap herself on the spot. If Tyler ever found out she was the one feeding him projects, would he think she secretly had a crush on him? That'd be insane!She fired back without mercy."Tyler, your narcissism really needs work. For all you know, this person could be a guy, not necessarily some woman pining after you."The smile lingering in Ty

Tyler took another slow sip of wine."Looks like you're not entirely stupid after all."Rachel kept her eyes fixed on him, a chill running down her spine. Suddenly, this man felt terrifying. Just how much more was he hiding from her?"Tyler, what else do you know about me? Why don't you just tell me everything at once?"She felt like she was squeezing toothpaste out of a tube—bit by bit, never the whole truth.Tyler lounged back in his chair, tapping his long fingers lightly against the table. His sharp, calculating eyes were fixed on Rachel, openly, without restraint."I can, but I have one condition."Rachel instantly guessed what he meant."You want me to write that letter your friend asked for, don't you?""Yeah." Tyler didn't deny it."Fine, let's get it over with."He forwarded something from his phone to hers. Rachel glanced at the content and frowned."In such a rush?""His girlfriend might not have much time. Just in case. And since I have to travel tomorrow, bett

Rachel lay sprawled on the bed. Her black dress had somehow slipped down to her waist. Her pale skin gleamed under the warm glow of the bedside lamp, and her long hair fanned out in an almost picturesque way.Her cheeks were flushed red, and she kept tugging at her clothes while mumbling, "It's so hot…"Tyler's gaze darkened as he approached. When the warmth of his fingertips brushed her arm, Rachel shivered.He frowned instinctively. Something wasn't right.If this were just drunkenness, she shouldn't be reacting like this.He walked to the balcony, picked up the half-empty wine bottle, and lifted it to his nose. His expression hardened instantly.There was something wrong with the wine.Turning back, he touched the back of his hand to Rachel's skin. She was burning up. He'd noticed earlier his own mouth felt dry, but he hadn't thought much of it.Before he could piece it together, Rachel suddenly clung to his arm like it was a lifeline. Her flushed face rubbed against him.T

Cecilia immediately grew alert."Was it because of me? I really did slip up yesterday. Rachel, I'm so sorry! I've just dragged you down again.""It's fine. Even if you hadn't slipped, with someone as sharp as Tyler, chances are he would've figured it out anyway."Rachel didn't want Cecilia to take all the blame and kept trying to reassure her, but Cecilia knew Rachel all too well."Rachel, I know you're just trying to comfort me. I feel so bad that I couldn't defend myself. I really was useless. It was so hard to look Mr. Hunt in the eyes. I was petrified!""Stop worrying about that. I'll figure something out. What you need to do is focus on your job. Also, the debt collectors will probably show up again in the next couple of days. You need to be ready for that."Rachel thought it over. If she wanted Tyler to truly believe, then the act had to be convincing.After all, real debt collectors never come just once. Tyler might very well send someone else to investigate in secret. He
