BuzzNovelHer Exit 409 Chapter 409 Rachel furrowed her brows. She seemed tense.
"What are you trying to say?" "You know exactly what I mean." Tyler's eyes narrowed slightly. His Adam's apple dipped as his hand slid slowly down from her cheek.
Rachel stared at Tyler for a few seconds. She then looked away awkwardly and chuckled.
"You're not William's uncle. Why do you even care? She glanced at her watch, understanding now that Tyler's words made it clear he had no intention of helping her. If he had, he would've said so already.
There was one less favor to owe him. She had enough debts as it was.
"It's getting late, Mr. Hunt. You should head back. I need to go hand change. I'll take a cab later." "I'll take you home." Tyler didn't wait for her response. He turned and walked off.

She sighed. There was no point in arguing. Tyler was always domineering and decisive. He was never the type to take no for an answer.
Oh, well. Having a ride saved her the trouble of hailing a cab.
Rachel went back to the hospital room to say goodbye to Jim.
Jim looked at her with concern.
"Rachel, I know your personality, but there's something I need to say. I'll handle my problems. You don't need to intervene. And definitely don't go making any deals with anyone." Rachel's heart gave a sudden jolt. Sometimes, she wondered if Jim could read her mind. He always seemed to know exactly what she was thinking.
Still, she nodded and played along.
"Got it. Don't worry. Just rest. Callif anything comes up." She left the room.
Chapter 409 +15 BONUS Before she even got out of the hospital, her phone rang. It was William.
Although she had long since deleted his number, that string of digits was etched into her memory.
Rachel instinctively pressed the power button, declining the call without hesitation.
From the moment she left Yurelia City, she had promised herself that she would never get entangled with William again.
That awful, broken marriage should've ended long ago.
When they got back to her apartment, Tyler dropped her off. Rachel was the first to unbuckle her seatbelt. "I'm going up to change. Please wait here, Mr. Hunt" "Okay." It was already dark out. Rachel hadn't realized how late it had gotten. As she reached to press the elevator button, she suddenly sensed a shadow flash past her.
She inhaled deeply. She felt a chill down her spine. Could there be an evil spirit? She frantically pressed the elevator button again, but it was still stuck on the 12th floor. The hallway light had been broken for a few days now, and the building management still hadn't fixed it.
Suddenly, a pair of strong hands gripped her shoulders from behind. Rachel instinctively moved to throw the attacker over her shoulder. "Rachel, it's me." That voice...
She turned around and saw William, completely wasted, reeking of alcohol.
She grimaced in disgust.
"What are you doing here?"
His eyes were bloodshot, the stench of liquor thick in the air Hestepped forward and grabbed her wrist.
"Why won't you answer my calls?" Rachel yanked her hand away and let out a cold, sarcastic laugh.
"Why should I answer? William, have you forgotten? We're not married anymore. Actually scratch that, we were never truly husband and wife. These days, we're more like enemies!" She hadn't even had tto go looking for him, and now, William had cto her himself.
