Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 527

Samantha greeted Rachel as though nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

“Rachel…”

Rachel and Cecilia froze at the sound of her name. Who else spoke in that saccharinely sweet tone? That voice was the stuff of nightmares!

Cecilia tugged at the hem of Rachel’s shirt and whispered, “Why don’t we pretend we heard nothing and just leave?”

Rachel shook her head at Cecilia. “It’ll be fine.”

She had already fallen out with William and Samantha, anyway. She wouldn’t take any tricks from

Samantha lying down.

She and Cecilia stopped in their tracks.

As Samantha approached Rachel, her gaze landed on the bags Cecilia was carrying. “Out for a shopping trip, Ms. Young? These don’t look cheap.”

“William, why is Rachel so fierce to me now? I really don’t mean any harm, you must believe me.”

William patted her shoulder comfortingly. “Alright, it’s fine. Stand aside and keep quiet. I have something

to talk to her about.”
