The ashtray on the dining table was filled to the brim with cigarette stubs, a clear sign of the terrible mood William was in.
Rachel decided to be honest about Cassandra's visit to the Lloyds.
"Your mom went to my family's htoday, insisting that I divorce you." A tremor shook William's body, but his face didn't change much. Rachel knew that from his silence, he was furious. Still, she didn't have much tleft. She decided to cut to the chase.

What's more, she knew clearly that William no longer loved her. William's brows furrowed at Rachel's words. He turned to look at her and stood, his face dark.
Rachel could see a vicious glint in his deep, dark eyes.
"Rachel, you've been wanting a divorce for a long time, right?" Rachel was stunned by his question and looked up at him with confusion.
"I was just thinking in your shoes. Is that wrong? Or do you wantto cling on desperately to you and ruin your family's reputation? Your mom made it quite clear when she visited. It's all for the sake of protecting the Lewis family's reputation. This entire matter won't blow over unless we get a divorce." The veins on William's forehead popped.
"You mean, my mom asked you to divorce me?" "Your mom cwith divorce papers, forcingto sign them. I told her you need to be in the know about this," Rachel said honestly.
William fixed his gaze on Rachel. "Did you sign it?" "I didn't." She had already signed another set of divorce papers. Why sign another? That was the gift she had prepared for William. William's shoulders drooped, looking as though he had breathed a sigh of relief. His tone softened.
"Don't blmy mom. This matter blew up, and she had no other way about it." Rachel wasn't shocked by William's attempt to speak up for his mother. She had long gotten used to it.
Blood was thicker than water. How could she expect William to side with her instead of his mother? Rachel wouldn't be foolish to think that William would stand on her side. What's more, things were critical right now. There was really no point getting obsessed about something like this.
"Okay, I know." Rachel was very calm. However, she said nothing after that, which made William think that she was sulking.
He pursed his lips. "My mom did that for the good of our family. I did warn you not to get too close to Fyler. Why ullo get, took didn't you listen to me? Why didn't you pick up my calls? I feel like you've changed." William started to bring up the past.
Rachel's brows furrowed, scoffing inwardly. How could William accuse her so thoughtlessly? Between the two of them, who was the one who changed? A Chapter 225 +25 BONUS
Rachel suppressed the urge to argue with William and said flatly, "I've been busy with too many things, nauding er work. You know about our company's interactions with LS Enterprise. Meetings with Tyler are inevitable. What's more, I..."
"Quit using work as an excuse! I can meet Tyler for the project. Anyone in the company can do the same, but ve Tylen insisted on taking Samantha off the project. Tell me! Did he sign the agreement for this project for your sake?"
