Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 389

Chapter 389

“I don’t know for sure. Back then, there were rumors that you had crossed someone dangerous. People said someone wanted to hurt you, but it was never confirmed. Then you suddenly disappeared. The police didn’t even dare conclude whether you were really dead or not,” William

said.

Rachel narrowed her eyes, glaring at him.

“So you did know something about my disappearance five years ago. But instead of helping, you pretended to know nothing. You took the divorce agreement I left behind and used it to paint yourself as some kind of victim. You turned me into a tool to cleanse your reputation, to step on and use. You’re disgusting.”

At this point, Rachel didn’t even feel anger–just a deep, cold revulsion. She had no more hope or expectations for William.

“You…!”

William’s expression soured. He felt utterly humiliated.

“William…”

A sweet, chirpy voice called out behind him.

Rachel turned slightly and caught sight of Samantha jogging toward them.

Samantha came to a stop by William’s side and instantly looped her arm through his. The two stood close, side by side.

“Rachel, congratulations! You really came out on top today.”

Rachel smiled, but her voice was cold. “Yeah, thanks. I suppose I should be grateful. If it weren’t for you two fanning the flames, I probably wouldn’t have earned this victory.”

Samantha’s expression flickered briefly with unease.

She lowered her voice and said, “Rachel, are you blaming us? The way things were back then, we just wanted to keep you away from the chaos. Think about it. There were so many Lloyd Enterprise shareholders there, and Yvette and your stepmother were clearly trying to trap you. That was the only way to protect you, to get you out fast. Don’t misunderstand our intentions. We really meant well.”

Rachel sneered. Her voice was flat and devoid of emotion.
