Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 519

Rachel didn’t mince her words. “Don’t you worry, Mr. Ziegler. You’ll never see me begging you, even if it

means I have to remain single the rest of my life.”

Howard shrugged indifferently. He turned around and swung his jacket onto his shoulder, and walked

out.

Rachel and Tyler walked back to his car, the former settling down in the front passenger seat and

recovering from the commotion earlier.

She had been running on adrenaline fueled by anger earlier, but now that she had calmed down, she felt a

lingering fear over what had just happened.

If Tyler hadn’t stood up for her… If she clashed head–on with the Lloyds and angered her grandfather till

something happened to him, she would have been doomed.

However, now that Tyler had her back, the Lloyds wouldn’t dare try anything with her.

She felt uneasy under that dark, incisive gaze of his.

“Is there something on my face?”
