"Sign it." Rachel picked it up and glanced at it. It was a divorce paper. It stated that she had to vacate the house without any belongings and return everything she had taken from the Brown family. This included shares, businesses, properties gifted by the Brown family, and any cash received from them. Rachel's face drained of color. "Why?" She asked, her voice shaking. Lucas replied indifferently, "If you don’t sign, in five days, I’ll make your family wish they were never born. You have these five days for your family to move out." Her body shook with fear. Is he really serious?
View More"Wait!" Rachel called out, her voice echoing outside the Civil Affairs Department.James stopped by a sleek red car and turned, his usual easy smile in place. "Hello, Ms."He pulled open the back door and gestured. "After you."Rachel blinked, confused. She leaned slightly to peek inside and froze.Adam was there.He sat casually, wearing a blue shirt under a black wool jacket. His collar was open, revealing just enough of his collarbone to make him look effortlessly attractive, yet dangerously aloof. He lounged with one hand resting on the window, the other holding a phone to his ear."I'm out of town," Adam said into the phone, his tone firm but unhurried. "Keep an eye on the contract. I'll be back in California once I wrap things up."Rachel felt her chest tighten. Looking at his cold and indifferent expression only made her uneasy. "Ms.?" James's voice brought her back to the moment.She shook her head slightly. "Umm... I don’t think I need to get in the car." Her voice wavered,
"Finally! There she is! How's it going? Did he say he would help?" Ava was pacing in the hallway. When she spotted Rachel returning, she rushed over, her face full of worry. "Yeah," Rachel managed to say, but her expression was far from cheerful. "He didn’t really agree to help; he just told me to go home because it was getting late." Rachel turned to Ava quickly. "Do you think he’ll actually help?" "Well, he didn’t act weird this time, so that’s a good sign," Ava started, but then her brow furrowed as she caught a whiff of tobacco. "OMG! Did you sleep with him?" Rachel’s face went blank. She bit her lip and whispered, "If I just hooked my shoulder and played a few cards, does that count as sleeping with him?" "Oh! Don’t stress about it. At least he remembers you, which I think is a good sign..." "What good sign? How does that help? Ava, I might lose my womb in a few hours..." Rachel suddenly blurted out. She looked calm, but inside, she was a mess. The thought of pos
Rachel entered the room hesitantly as the door swung open for her, while Ava waited outside in the hallway. But before Rachel went in, Ava discreetly placed a pepper spray in her hand."Don’t forget to use it if he tries something funny again." Ava had whispered. Rachel took a deep breath as she look around, scanning the expansive private room decorated with lavish decorations.There were three men in the room, along with the Mr. Handsome, They were all engrossed in a card game.The air was thick with a mix of cigarette smoke, tea, and cologne, creating a somewhat overwhelming scent."What the hell! Adam's cheating again!" Shouted one of the red-haired men, slamming his cards on the table. His outburst was cut short when he caught a whiff of a woman's cologne in the air.Seeing the men's eyes on her, , Rachel became cautious while also gripping her side of the bag tightly where the pepper spray was.Of course, Rachel is a beautiful lady, a beauty that would made all men stopped, with
Violet’s mother watched Rachel leave and then turned to Lucas, her stern demeanor softening. "Son, do you blame me for suggesting Rachel have her womb removed too?""Violet lost her baby and her womb because of her, so no, I don’t blame you for that. An eye for an eye" Lucas replied.Violet’s mother let out a sigh of relief. She had expected Lucas to be angry, but his response made her smile. "I’m glad you see it that way."She felt a sense of satisfaction wash over her.***"Did I hear you say Lucas supports you getting your womb removed?"It was nearly evening when Rachel left the hospital, feeling confused. She decided to call her close friend Ava to meet up.Ava was known for her bluntness, and she got upset as soon as Rachel shared the news. "Both Lucas and Violet’s mom are heartless. Who knows if Violet is just pretending? How can she lose her womb so easily?"Rachel gave a bitter smile. "Maybe she is playing us all. I didn’t even push her."Ava looked at Rachel with concern. "Y
Rachel rushed out of the hospital and made her way to her mother's house as fast as she could.When she stepped inside, she was confronted with a shocking sight.Her stepfather had her mother pinned against the wall, shouting, "Don’t forget that I was the one who took care of Rachel after you lost your husband! I raised her, and now you’re teaming up with her to tell your husband to take back the house and the money he gave me?"Rachel's expression twisted in anger as she quickly moved to push her stepfather away from her mother."Get your hands off my mother!" Filled with anxiety and rage, Rachel shouted at him.Her stepfather, seeing the girl he had raised standing up to him, only grew angrier and yelled back, "You ungrateful brat! I raised you for ten years! Now that you’ve married a rich guy, you think you can just ruin my life? You’ve already messed up my marriage with your mother, and now you want to destroy my income and your brother’s too?"Rachel's mother had once been marri
