Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429

The moment the call went through, Cassandra couldn’t hold herself back and exploded.

“Samantha, are you bent on destroying our family?!”

Samantha, who had barely fled the scene, was now faced with Cassandra’s harsh words. She felt even more indignant and frustrated.

When she first married into the Lewis family, Cassandra had treated her like a real daughter and gave in to her every whim and fancy.

Ever since she lost her baby, however, there was a massive shift in Cassandra’s attitude toward her. Cassandra would mock her unprovoked and often compared her to Rachel.

Samantha had slowly gotten used to it, suppressing the indignation she felt each time.

“Mom, you really can’t blame me. You had no idea that William was with Rachel last night. They were alone in the middle of the night, the audacity of them! Wouldn’t it embarrass the Lewis family if word got out?”

Cassandra had the sudden urge to laugh.

“I might believe that if someone else said it, but hearing it from you only makes me want to laugh! Did you

forget how you married William back then? Didn’t you steal him from Rachel?

“Also, it’s been so long since you lost your child. Why couldn’t you have another since then? Can you still bear a child for the family or not?

“Don’t blame me for being nasty, but you know the reason I agreed for William to marry you was because Rachel never got pregnant. Together with her hearing disability, it was frankly embarrassing. Compared to her, your only advantage is that you can bear a child!”

Samantha sensed something amiss in Cassandra’s words.

“Mom… Do you want Rachel to get back together with William again?” she asked, filled with disbelief.

“That’s not entirely impossible. Rachel is still single. If the two of them reconcile, it’ll be a good thing for the Lewis family.”

“No way!” Samantha’s voice went up a pitch, her usual calm and endearing demeanor all but gone. “I’ll never let that happen!”

“What’s the point of yelling at me now? Hurry up and find a way out! The Lewis family has no place for worthless people. Also, do something about that video. If you can’t, then get the hell out of our family!”

With that, Cassandra hung up unceremoniously.

Samantha was in great distress, her entire body shaking with anger as she gnashed her teeth.

The video of her spread like wildfire online, inevitably affecting William.

This incident proved the saying that husband and wife are one flesh to be true. William had barely managed to settle problems at work when Samantha caused him yet another wave of problems.

He put his palm on his forehead irritably.

“Will you still take Mrs. Lewis to the party tonight, sir? Arsen asked.

William cast him a cold glare. “Do you think it’s still appropriate for her to appear at an event like that?”

It she attended, it would only be embarrassing for everyone.

“Got it, sir,” Arsen replied with a nod.

At seven in the evening, Rachel stood right outside the hotel with the invitation card in hand. She looked at her outfit and made sure all was in place before approaching the entrance.

Thankfully, everything had been smooth sailing thus far

She saw many familiar faces in the hotel. While her return to Yurelia City wasn’t exactly groundbreaking news, this was her first time making an appearance at a public event.

Rachel couldn’t care less about what others thought of her.

Tonight, she had only one clear goal in mind.
