Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 866

Chapter 866

“You underestimate the complexities of such wealthy and large families. Do you really think they were trying to stand up for Howard? They have their own plans. None of them were willing to step forward and be the bad guy.”

Rachel turned to look at him. “So you decided to be the bad guy instead.”

“It doesn’t matter who the bad guy is. The most important thing is that it’s all over now. The Zieglers probably wouldn’t try to help Howard escape punishment by the law. In other words, we’re not the ones who wish that Howard wouldn’t be released. His relatives probably want that more than we do.”

Tyler knew better than anyone else how deep grudges run within a family like the Zieglers. The moment he stepped into the funeral hall and saw the ambition in their eyes, he knew that everything

would be fine for them.

The worst people to deal with were those who had no weaknesses at all. People with weaknesses were easy to manipulate.

Rachel finally understood why Tyler managed to stay so calm and unperturbed throughout.

“Why didn’t you tell me these earlier?”

“How could I? Should I have whispered them to you in front of them all? I didn’t want to weaken the aura you were trying to exude.”

Rachel shrugged.

“It’s time for us to deal with Cecilia’s problem now. There’s nothing more for us to consider regarding Howard. He won’t be able to elude justice. No one can save him this time.”

She immediately called Jerry to ask where they were right now.

Jerry told her, “At the hospital.”

Rachel frowned. “Weren’t you at her house? How did she end up in the hospital?”

“Elias came to check on Cecilia. He said that she wasn’t doing well and requested that she be hospitalized immediately. He wanted to discuss the case with the doctors here and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.”

The light in Rachel’s eyes dimmed.

“Got it.”

Her face fell as she hung up.

“Let’s head to the hospital first.”

The moment she said so, Tyler’s phone rang.

When he saw that it was the hospital calling, his brows furrowed. Rachel saw it too and urged him, ” Hurry up and answer it. What if something happened to your father?”

Tyler swiped right to answer the call. “Hello?”

“Tyler, come to the hospital right now. Grandpa wants to talk to you.”

Tyler’s eyes turned dark. “I have something else to attend to right now. Can I go later?”
