Lahat ng Kabanata ng Countdown to My Divorce: Kabanata 871 - Kabanata 880

Realization dawned upon Samuel and Zane."I see. I was wondering why you suddenly came here to drown your sorrows. Turns out it's because Rachel is about to be your aunt."Caleb sniggered. "That's really quite troubling. These things only happen in novels, your ex-wife becoming your aunt. Sounds a little…"Samuel slapped his forehead. "That's hard to say. You know that uncle of yours well. He's been single for so many years. He might just be waiting for Rachel, for all you know! I heard through the grapevine that he knew her a long time ago, and even had interactions with her mother."Samuel had always been a philanderer and never stayed for long in a single relationship.He persuaded William, "I'd advise you to stop obsessing over Rachel. How about this? I'll find another woman for you. The fastest way to forget your ex is to find a replacement as soon as you can."William wanted to throw all caution to the wind. All he knew was that if he continued this way, he'd feel terribl

"He shouldn't continue to torment and deceive himself and others around him."William slammed the bottle hard on the table, causing some liquor to splash out and land on the back of his hand. He looked at his own reflection in the glass and suddenly chuckled self-derisively. "Snatch? How can I even do that? Tyler is the only man she has eyes for right now, and even Grandpa has approved of their relationship. Who do I think I am?"William had thought things through. If Rachel eventually decided to marry Tyler, he would never go back.Why would he? He didn't want to see them all lovey-dovey! All the more he didn't want to have to call Rachel his aunt.He had finally realized that when he forced Rachel to divorce him so he could be with Samantha, he was in fact throwing aside something that was most precious to him.William felt suffocated at the mere thought.He turned to ask Samuel, "Was I a huge bastard back then?"Samuel patted his shoulder comfortingly. "You were, but it's n

She forced a smile on her face. "I'm not keeping any secrets from you. I just think that with so many things going on right now, our moods will be easily affected. Marriage is a joyful affair, so all the more we should settle everything before we get married. Isn't that better?"Tyler nodded. "That makes sense."He released her and ran his fingers through her wind-tousled hair to try to straighten it out."Let's head back. Ray and Sunny probably miss you lots."Joy filled Rachel's heart at the mention of both dogs."The two are probably eagerly waiting for us to get home."Back at their apartment, Ray and Sunny pounced on them eagerly the moment Tyler opened the door.Rachel almost collapsed on the floor from their weight."Calm down, won't you?"Sunny pounced on Rachel and licked her face. Rachel couldn't stand the itch and reached out to pull Sunny into her arms. "Sunny, calm down! My face is all covered with your saliva!"Ray bounded over to Tyler, biting his pant leg

Rachel thought about taking a hangover pill lest the potential business partner try to make her drink.On second thought, Mark had always been reliable despite his careless and casual demeanor. Since she had asked him not to introduce a business partner who would make her drink, she was confident that he wouldn't.Rachel put the pill down and left.When she arrived at Moon & Barrel, she spotted the business partner Mark had introduced her to.He was Michael Johnson, the CEO of Achieve Enterprise."Ms. Lloyd, it's a pleasure to meet you," Michael said as he stretched a hand. "Mark has mentioned you to me a few times and said that you made Lloyd Enterprise rise from the ashes. I'm glad to be able to finally meet you after so long."Rachel stood up and shook his hand. "You're too kind, Mr. Johnson. This is an idea I came up with before, which is a great match for your smart tourism project. It features intangible cultural heritage education, passing valuable culture down to the ne

William couldn't understand why Rachel was so stubborn. She clearly knew the severity of the situation. She was at risk of being sued if she failed to raise the sum.Two hundred million dollars was a huge figure.It wasn't easy getting business partners to invest in one's project. It was impossible to raise two hundred million relying on such a slow and stupid method.After Rachel got into the taxi, she turned around to make sure that William didn't come running after her. She heaved a sigh of relief. She headed to the next destination, thankful that she had many proposals prepared and had looked through multiple projects. She just didn't have the time to bring these proposals up to potential partners and find investors for them.They had now come in handy.The next business partner, however, wasn't as easy to deal with as Michael. Rachel did a rough calculation and figured that she would raise one hundred million dollars if she clinched this deal.That sum was critical to he
