Chapter 322

“It’s Mrs. Sasha Dawson and Ms. Yvette Lloyd.”

William wanted his servant to turn them away, but on second thought, he didn’t want his problem with Rachel to keep hanging over his head. The feeling was akin to having the Sword of Damocles hanging over him, ever-present.

With a wave of his hand, he said irritably, “Let them in.”

Just then, Cassandra and Samantha came walking down the stairs.

Cassandra was very pleased with Samantha’s obedience. “Samantha, just stay here with peace of mind. You have nothing to fear with me and William around. Anyway, Rachel hasn’t returned yet.”

“Mrs. Lewis, if Rachel returns, I’ll move out right away!” Samantha exclaimed passionately.

Cassandra didn’t like the prospect of Samantha moving out.

“Don’t be silly! What’s the point if Rachel came back? She’ll divorce William sooner or later. Everyone knows what happened. Even if she comes back, it’ll only be for settling divorce proceedings.”

Samantha bit her lip coyly, cheeks turning red. “But… Won’t I be bothering you and William?”

Cassandra patted the back of Samantha’s hand reassuringly. “Don’t worry.”

“Mom, the Lloyds have come,” William announced darkly upon seeing Samantha and Cassandra come down the stairs.

Cassandra’s face fell when she heard about the Lloyds at their door. “They really have nothing better to do! What are they here for?”

Just then, Yvette and Sasha stepped in. The moment they settled down in their seats, Sasha cut straight to the chase.

“William, Rachel is still your wife. It’s not very appropriate to bring another woman home, is it?”

Given her experience, Sasha could see at one glance what Samantha was trying to do. The moment she saw Samantha in the house, she understood.

Before William could explain himself, Cassandra jumped in.

“Don’t talk nonsense! Samantha is our guest. My son treats your daughter so well, yet she vanished into thin air after leaving behind a divorce agreement! They should have gotten a divorce a long time ago. Why act so mysteriously?”

However, Sasha wasn’t here for a petty argument with Cassandra. “We’re both women. You know very well what exactly is going on. I came here to solve the problem we have at hand.”

Cassandra similarly wanted to resolve the situation before them. Rachel wasn’t going to come back miraculously; she might as well take the chance to get something out of this.

She lifted the teacup to her lips for a sip. “How do you want to solve the problem?”

“Very simple. Rachel vanished under your care, but all the criticisms online are targeted at her, William, and your entire family came through unscathed, while her reputation is wrecked. If she really isn’t alive anymore, she’d be turning in her grave!”

Cassandra gave Sasha a sideways glance. “And?”

“Five million, and we won’t pursue this matter anymore. Otherwise, we’ll never let this go!”

Hearing that, Cassandra almost burst out laughing.

“Oh, I honestly thought you were here to seek justice for Rachel! To think you’re even more vicious than us! Nobody knows if she’s dead or alive right now, and here you are, demanding money.

“Did Jim make you come here? Doesn’t he dote on Rachel very much? When he looked like he was about to swallow me whole that day at the hospital, was he just acting?”
