If the phrase ‘when it rains, it pours‘ ever applied to someone, Rachel was living proof.
Her brows furrowed tightly. “Did William report him?”
“Yes. William probably found out your dad has regained consciousness. In his current condition, if he gets investigated and can’t clear himself, they’ll detain him. That could be the end for him!”
“I’m going to confront William right now!”
“Rachel, calm down! Going to him now won’t help. William is clearly doing this to retaliate against
you.”
After all, William had just been hit hard. The company was still in turmoil, and to make matters worse, he had spent a few days in a police station cell.

He glanced at her, eyes full of mischief. “Do you want to know?”
