Chapter 230
William didn’t know what was going on, but at that moment, he could sense a bone–piercing chill in Rachel’s eyes.
By the time he recovered, all he could see was her usual look of indifference.
He wondered if he was seeing things.
Rachel shook off William’s hand. “I’m tired. I want to sleep.”

She didn’t tell William why she removed the tattoo, but she would let him know the reason when she eventually left Yurelia City.
William watched Rachel’s retreating figure and opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out.
He shut the door and returned to the study. He lay down on the couch, the dim light shining on his handsome features and reflecting the melancholy on his face.
Based on what he knew of Rachel, she wasn’t the kind to be fickle in her affections and abandon the old for the new. She would be faithful to what she liked, and would never exchange it for something else.
Or, could it be…
William inhaled sharply. Did Rachel realize something?
He thought back on recent happenings, remembering that Rachel never threw a tantrum over Samantha. She would only ask a little more and never say anything specific. After coaxing Rachel, William seldom gave further thought to the matter.
Despite the suspicions in his mind, he couldn’t quite confirm if that was where something had gone wrong.
After what happened with William, sleep evaded Rachel. She tossed and turned on the bed, frustrated and bothered.
She glanced at her wrist, which had turned red from William’s grip The redness had somewhat faded.
Thinking of her meeting with Tyler tomorrow, Rachel forced herself to sleep, or she might collapse during the meeting.
Rachel didn’t know when she fell asleep, but it was nine in the morning when she woke up. She quickly got out of bed and rushed to the washroom to freshen herself up.
She texted Tyler.
[Mr. Hunt, where shall we meet for lunch?]
Tyler replied to her very quickly, but the teasing tone was apparent
[Are you itching to give your money away? Will you only feel good if you use it?]
Rachel stomped her foot in frustration. She wasn’t itching to give her money away, but she was certainly itching to settle this once and for all! She wouldn’t be able to leave if she didn’t settle this matter properly.
She did not receive a response from Tyler after replying to his text
Her heart raced as she waited for Tyler’s reply–she suddenly felt as though she were dating him. The feelings Tyler elicited in her frustrated her to no end.
At the possibility of Tyler going back on his word, Rachel trembled
Suddenly, she felt someone tap on her shoulder, frightening her so badly that her face turned pale. She turned around, and relaxed when she saw that it was William.
He immediately sensed something amiss.
“What’s the matter? Do you feel unwell?”
Rachel was surprised to hear William showing her concern. She slipped her phone back into her pocket and shook her head.

“It’s nothing. Cecilia was just telling me about something that cropped up back at home and asked me for help to find an apartment.”
“It’s not easy to find an apartment. We bought a small apartment before. You can let her move in there and decide how much rent you want to charge her,” William said.
The sudden change Rachel felt in William surprised her.
William was not one to butt into his employee’s private affairs–aside from Samantha, of course.
Rachel looked questioningly at William. “What’s with you today?”
