Chapter 377
William rushed all the way here the moment he left the police station, with no time for a fresh set of clothes. It was clear for all to see that he hadn’t had a good time locked up in there the past few days, what with his stubble and the dark circles under his eyes.
He looked worlds apart from his usual peppy, clean shaven look.
In fact, he looked so down–and–out and miserable, he felt like a complete stranger to Rachel.
She remained unperturbed at the sight of William, Her eyes ever so cold and distant.
Ever since she disappeared, William did nothing for her, although she didn’t expect much from him in the first place.
The moment she set her mind on leaving, she had drawn a clear line between them,
Yet, she never expected the divorce papers she left behind to bring her trouble.
Seeing William stepping forward to testify against Rachel, Yvette smiled smugly.
She walked toward Rachel and said sympathetically “Oh, Rachel! What exactly is going on between you and William? You two used to be so loving! How did things turn out so ugly between you two?”
Her seemingly harmless words planted a bomb right under Rachel’s feet.
Rachel didn’t expect Yvette to be so quick–witted. The tables had turned indeed.
People in the meeting room started dishing out nasty comments.
“I knew it! I knew things weren’t that simple. Mr. Lewis gave her everything he had! Everyone in Yurelia City knows about it.”
“Aside from that messy divorce, there were even scandals between her, Mr. Hunt, and Howard, Ziegler. Isn’t that an insult to the Lewis family?”
“Alright, I think it’s clear as day who’s in the right and who’s in the wrong. It’s so obvious!”
Security guards entered the room, flanking Rachel on both sides.
“Ms. Rachel, please come with us.”
Rachel pursed her lips, remaining fearless despite being in such a difficult situation. Her gaze remained cold and hard.
She did have something to say, but she was just surprised at William’s ability to twist the facts so blatantly.
Rachel’s eyes turned even colder as she tapped her pen on the folder. The tapping wasn’t loud, but the sound it made reverberated in William’s ears, making him feel uneasy.
The next moment, everyone in the room saw Rachel walk leisurely toward William. In an instant, the air around them turned tense and chilly.

None of the shareholders dared to utter a word. Most of them were more interested in seeing how the scene would unfold.
The couple before them used to be so loving, everyone in Yurelia City knew how close they were. Yet, things had turned out so ugly between them.
William was even claiming that he could testify against Rachel and prove that she had forced Jim to rewrite his will!
Wasn’t he stuck in the police station the past few days? From where did he get the so–called evidence?
Rachel paused for a moment. Her eyes were deadly calm as she said, “You sound so confident now, Mr. Lewis. Did you see me coercing my father to sign the will with your own eyes?”
William was stunned by the calm in her eyes. He never expected such a complete change in her over the years.
Her gaze, once so docile and as bright as the sun, now looked so icy and distant.
