"I know the deadline Hannah gave you is right around the corner. You haven’t raised enough, have you?”

William didn’t know what possessed him. They had been divorced for such a long time, yet he somehow couldn’t let go of her. In fact, right now he had an even stronger urge to know more about what was going on with her.

Rachel glanced coldly at William. “What does that have to do with you?”

“You know clearly that I can help you, as long as you ask me.”

“It comes with strings attached, doesn’t it?”

She knew the kind of person William was. He wasn’t one to do something at a loss.

William decided to come to a compromise. “You don’t need to be my lover. How about my girlfriend? Will that do? We’ll have a fresh start. I promise I won’t disappoint you this time. As long as you say yes, I’ll make up the shortfall right away.”

William thought his offer was tempting enough. Would Rachel really rather go to jail than be his girlfriend?

Rachel didn’t immediately reject William’s offer. Instead, she looked calmly and silently at him.

Countless thoughts flashed past her mind. What in the world did she see in this man in the past? She had only just realized how unpleasant he was by nature. He even wanted to give her money in exchange for love.

William thought Rachel’s silence meant that she was seriously considering his offer.

He added, “I’ve already divorced Samantha. She won’t pester me anymore in the future. I promise, I’ll never have anything more to do with her!”

Rachel suddenly had the urge to laugh. “William, what’s the point of us getting together again now? I no longer love you, don’t you understand? Also, I’m pregnant with Tyler’s child now. Must I make it clear to you your relationship to the child in my womb?”

William’s brows furrowed as his gaze landed on Rachel’s flat stomach.

“You… you must be kidding me. You’re already pregnant with my uncle’s child?”

Rachel scoffed.

“Look, you said it yourself. Tyler’s your uncle, while I’m your uncle’s girlfriend. Very soon, I’ll be his wife. So please, don’t come looking for me. Stop asking me to be your girlfriend. How clearly do you want me to say it? Things are over between us!”

“But it’s not over in my heart! Don’t you see that?” William argued.

He had been sleeping poorly the past few days, dreaming about their past the moment his head touched the pillow. The memories tormented him night after night, making him lose sleep.

Just then, a piercing voice sounded in the air–it was Samantha.

“I heard that you’re millions in debt, Rachel! You’ll be sued by your ex-company very soon, but you’re still in the mood to reminisce about the good old days with your ex-husband?”

Rachel ignored her and turned to leave the cafe.

However, Samantha reached out to stop her.

“What? Don’t dare to look me in the eye and talk to me! I heard Tyler is selling his subsidiary company to Mr. Jones of Dingham Corporation just to raise funds for you! You’re really capable–you could make Tyler cater to your every whim. But I don’t know, would he still be able to give you a good life after selling his company?”

Rachel’s heart skipped a beat.

Tyler took the last resort of selling his company!

She never used to be petty toward Samantha, but this time, she didn’t want to let things go just like that.

“At least he’s willing to sell his company for my sake. Why don’t you ask Mr. Lewis standing next to you whether he’s willing to sell his company for your sake if you ever really need money?”

She feigned surprise, covering her mouth and yelping exaggeratedly.

“Oh dear, I forgot! You two are divorced. Seems like you won’t get the chance to ask that of him.”

“You!”

Samantha’s face flushed red, so furious she was at a loss for words. She pointed at Rachel, her finger shaking.

“I’ll see how long you can be smug! Tyler sold his subsidiary company and it’ll be a matter of time before LS Enterprise goes down! You’ll be left with nothing when that happens!”

Rachel couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath on Samantha. She hailed a taxi by the roadside, leaving Samantha and William behind.

William didn’t even bother to deign Samantha with a glance. He turned to leave upon seeing that Rachel had left.

Samantha reached out to grab William’s arm.

“William, I’m begging you! On account of us having been in love once, give me one more chance. I promise I’ll be a good and dutiful wife to you!”

William coldly shook her hand away. “Let go!”

Samantha shook her head, her eyes red-rimmed.

“No, William! What’s so good about Rachel? She’s a heartless one. She got together with your uncle and forgot everything you did for her in the past. Let’s start anew. You’re willing to start things anew with her, so why not with me?”

William shook her hand off irritably, clearly losing his patience with her.

“Cut the crap with me! Samantha, things between us were over the moment you made a cuckold of me. Stop pestering me!”

Samantha stood there, helpless as she saw William driving off. Her face was flushed with anger as she yelled behind him.

“William…!”

William saw Samantha bursting into tears from the rear view mirror, but his heart didn’t ache one bit for her. He suddenly recalled what Rachel said to him.

She no longer loved him.

That meant no matter what he did, she no longer cared–just like how he felt nothing when seeing Samantha through the mirror, looking so brokenhearted.

He was still in shock that Rachel was carrying Tyler’s child.

They were both sons of the Lewis family, yet why did Tyler have the ability to reproduce while he didn’t?

The mere thought of Rachel marrying into the Lewis family again and him having to call her his aunt was already a great humiliation to him. And now, she was soon going to give birth to Tyler’s child.

He was supposed to have a child with Rachel!

Why in the world did he have a screw loose up there and get himself involved with Samantha?

William clenched his fists, feeling regret that no words could express.
