Chapter 315

Tyler’s police report blew up the murder attempt made on Rachel’s life.

Everyone involved was summoned to the police station, but the police found nothing. What made things worse for William was that as the case blew up, Lewis Enterprise went into a crisis.

A series of unfortunate events came crashing down on William.

By the time he was done with work, it was already midnight. He dragged his exhausted body back home.

He slumped on the floor, leaning against the wall, looking completely defeated. A depressing haze filled the room, making him feel even more despondent and sluggish.

He just couldn’t figure out whether Rachel eventually gained consciousness or not.

Why did he find the entire thing fishy? Somehow, he knew that something was amiss.

Just then, he received a call from Arsen.

“Mr. Lewis, we’ve been getting calls from many partners cancelling their projects with us. Rumors abound online about your wife. The company might be in danger if we fail to suppress those rumors.”

William was all out of patience. He smashed the ashtray against the wall and yelled, “Didn’t I instruct you to buy the media? Did you not do as I said?!”

The piercing crash of something hard hitting the wall sounded in Arsen’s ear. He said cautiously, “I did that, Mr. Lewis…but they said someone up there issued an order prohibiting them from taking down the reports.”

William’s hands froze on his knees. He furrowed his brows. “What do you mean by that?”

“Someone is stopping them from taking down the reports.”

“Did you find out who?” William asked.

“It’s Mr. Hunt.”

William’s voice went up a pitch. “Tyler Hunt?”

“I guess so, based on what the media partners told me. They didn’t say it outright.”

William scoffed. “Who else in Yurelia City has the ability aside from him?”

Arsen was confused. “Why would Mr. Hunt do that? He technically has nothing to do with this entire case.”

William couldn’t figure it out, either. Tyler was never one to interfere in other people’s affairs. Even if Melanie was his benefactor and he was intending to return the favor he owed her, his actions were crossing the line.

Tyler was essentially interfering in William’s internal family affairs.

William’s eyes narrowed as a storm brewed in them. “Arsen, tell my grandfather about this. He’ll do something about it, I’m sure.”

“Yes, sir.”

After hanging up, William stood up and accidentally knocked against something, sending it crashing to the floor.

He looked down and saw an elegant box. Suddenly, he realized that it was the box Rachel gave him as a gift for their wedding anniversary.

He had wanted to open it on the day of their anniversary, but so much had happened over the past few days.

William unlocked the box with a passcode, which was the date of his and Rachel’s wedding anniversary.

The box opened up automatically.

William saw a roll of paper and a ring in the box.

His first thought was that the ring was a new one Rachel bought from elsewhere. When he picked it up, he realized that it was the ring they bought when they got married.

He had asked Rachel about it, and she told him she had sent it to the jeweler for polishing. He eventually forgot all about it as he became increasingly occupied by things at work.

What did she mean by putting this ring in the box?
