“Rachel, I… I was just thinking for your good. Even if you don’t want to leave with us, there’s no need for you to be so fierce,” Samantha stammered. Tears trickled down her cheeks; the sight confirmed to everyone that she was the innocent party here. They saw clearly how aggressive Rachel was being.

“This is getting out of hand. Ms. Rachel is being way too arrogant! Does she really think this is her company?”

“She showed her sister and stepmother such disrespect just now, and here she is, blatantly allying Samantha in front of everyone.”

“I know, she’s just jealous because she failed to retain her position as Mrs. Lewis!”

“Oh! Since she can’t get it, no one else can! I understand. She’s upset that Mr. Lewis moved on and married a kind and understanding woman like Ms. Samantha.”

Fire burned in Cecilia’s heart when she overheard the ridiculous comments people were making. She couldn’t help but yell at them, “What do you know? Rachel wasn’t the one who did wrong! They were the ones who let Rachel down! Back then, Mr. Lewis…”

“Cecilia, we know you’re close to Rachel, but you can’t slander us just because you want to stand up for her. If I did something wrong, you can tell me directly. I’ll change,” Samantha explained through sobs. She didn’t forget to daintily wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes. She sounded so vulnerable, breaking the hearts of everyone who heard her.

Seeing Samantha’s ability to twist the facts, Cecilia felt a sharp pain in her chest. She pointed a finger at her and said shakily, “Samantha Judd, you… you’re spouting nonsense!”

Rachel held Cecilia’s hand. Rather than getting angry at Samantha’s words, she found it hilarious. She strutted leisurely to Samantha. Being much taller than Samantha, she had to look down at the latter, her eyes filled with disdain.

Samantha felt suffocated by Rachel’s piercing gaze. Rachel was practically looking at her as though she were trash. Fear overtook Samantha as she subconsciously shrank back.

“What… what do you want?”

“Even after so many years, your acting is still shoddy. Ms. Judd, we have all the time in the world to slowly settle our scores. Unfortunately, right now, I don’t have time to waste on your terrible acting. Go back home and put on a good show for your brainless husband instead.”

“Rachel!” William roared, his brows tightly knit. He looked at her in disbelief. “You didn’t use to be like this. How did you become so sharp-tongued and aggressive?”

Rachel looked coldly at him. “What, did you expect me to tolerate your filthy deeds just like I did five years ago?”

Yvette watched the scene unfolding before her and started to worry that it might affect her goal of seizing the company’s shares. She was initially worried that William might still care for Rachel as his ex-wife. They used to be so loving, after all. Yet, they were at daggers drawn right now.

She raised her voice and addressed the shareholders. “I have a will that my father handed me in person! May I request that all outsiders take their leave?”

The security guards jumped into action and started dragging Rachel out of the room.

“Please leave!”

Rachel was no match for the two burly men. Very soon, she found herself at the door. Suddenly, someone pushed her hard from behind.

“Tramp!”

Rachel was caught off guard and lost her balance.

“Rachel!” Cecilia yelled.
