Chapter 346
Rachel grabbed the edge of the table as fury surged through her. Her calm expression was replaced by one of cold anger. “William won’t even let the dead rest in peace!”
William had even used the divorce agreement she left behind to trample her further. He wouldn’t even leave her a final shred of dignity.
If that was the case, then why should she spare him any mercy?
Across from her, Cecilia watched the shift in Rachel’s gaze. Her eyes were cold, and she gave out an intimidating aura. This was a completely different woman from the gentle, soft–spoken Rachel she’d once known.
Cecilia felt a chill down her spine. She subconsciously pulled her coat tighter around her.
“Rachel, you’re not thinking of going after them, are you? Maybe just let it go. Although Lewis Enterprise isn’t on the same level as LS Enterprise now, you’re just an ordinary person. You can’t go up against them alone.”
Cecelia was worried. Rachel had finally escaped that painful marriage. Now she had no one backing her. If William and Samantha found out she was alive, who knew what they’d try to do this time.
Rachel knew Cecilia was only concerned for her.
“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing,” she said. “And I won’t expose myself. But before that, I need your help with something.” Cecilia didn’t even hesitate. “Anything, just say it.”
After listening to Rachel’s plan, Cecilia looked at her with something close to awe.
“Rachel, don’t tell me you went off and did some secret training these past few years. This is brilliant. But I’m telling you, this move is really going to stir up the Lewis family.”
Rachel smiled. “Isn’t that what they deserve?”
“Yes! They absolutely deserve it. You have no idea how shocked I was when I saw all those stories online slandering you. I couldn’t believe it. How could two people who used to love each other turn into this?
“You weren’t even around anymore, and he still had to twist the story just to protect himself. He slandered you so ruthlessly. I wanted so badly to speak up for you, but no one listened. My voice was too insignificant. If I could, I would’ve silenced all those people!”
Cecilia was shaking with anger just talking about it.
Rachel ended up comforting her instead. “It’s okay. Don’t worry. I’m not the same pushover I used to be.”
Cecilia paused then said, “I did hear that after you disappeared, Mr. Lewis didn’t do well. He drank a lot and was always out at parties. I think maybe he did feel guilty. I mean, if it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t have ended up in the hospital.
“And wasn’t there something about someone trying to harm you? What was that all about?”
“That’s a long story,” Rachel said. “I’ll explain later. For now, let’s just head home.”
Cecilia didn’t push further. All that mattered was that Rachel was still alive.
Rachel stood at the cafe entrance and watched Cecilia leave. The warmth in her eyes slowly vanished and was replaced by a chilling calm.
‘William, this time, it’s your turn. We’ve got some unfinished business.‘
William and Samantha were still on their way home when Arsen suddenly called.

William frowned. Ever since Samantha told him she might’ve seen Rachel, he had felt unsettled, like something was stuck in his
chest.
At Arsen’s frantic tone, William couldn’t help but snap, “What are you yelling for? What now?”
“Someone posted stuff online about you and Ms. Judd, and it’s gone viral, Over ten million views already! You’d better check it out!”
