Chapter 354
“Quickly look into it. Find out if Rachel has really returned.”
This time, Arsen didn’t ask any further questions and immediately agreed. “Yes, sir.”
“And get me a lawyer. I need to get out of here as soon as possible!
“Already working on it.”
Arsen’s reply slightly eased William’s grim expression.
William was soon escorted into the police station to undergo a fresh round of questioning

Back at the hotel, Rachel returned to find Cecilia already waiting.
“Rachel, everything’s done. William’s already been taken to the station, and the comments online? Absolutely brutal. It’s so satisfying! The nerve of that guy to still treat you like that when we didn’t even know if you were dead or alive back then. Has he no conscience?”
Rachel idly twirled a glass in her hand. “Now William’s about to face the worst days of his life in there. And by the time he comes out, the entire Lewis Enterprise will be in shambles.”
Cecilia couldn’t help but praise her. “You’re brilliant. If you hadn’t bribed someone in the Lewis Enterprise finance department ahead of time, William probably still wouldn’t know that Samantha had been funneling company funds into useless investments.”
Rachel’s eyes gleamed, and she smiled. “Didn’t he always go out of his way to protect Samantha? Let’s see how he plans to shield her this time.”
Looking at this new, vengeful side of Rachel, Cecilia couldn’t help but feel both admiration and relief. She looked at Rachel with visible awe.
“Rachel, I love who you’ve become. You’re nothing like you used to be. Where have you been all these years? What have you gone through?”
“I-” Rachel faltered, not quite knowing how to explain. “I’ll tell you everything someday when we have more time.”
“So when are you planning to confront William? Are you just going to stay behind the scenes like this? He did see you today, didn’t he?”
Cecilia could barely contain her anticipation. If William and Samantha realized Rachel was not only alive but had also become a completely different person, specifically one who no longer tolerated any injustice, she couldn’t wait to see their reactions.
Rachel’s gaze instantly turned cold.
“Soon,” she said. “But before that, I want to make sure he suffers more. There’s no way I’m letting him off that easily.”
She hadn’t originally planned on returning for revenge.
Cecilia had already told her that after her disappearance, William hadn’t had an easy time. It had taken him years to start getting his life back together. Samantha’s miscarriage had also hit him hard.
But what she hadn’t expected, and what had made her change her mind, was that even when she was practically gone from his world, William had still refused to let her go. He had used her to keep up his fake image of being a devoted husband. He just had to squeeze out every last bit of value she had left.
No wonder the older generation always said that you could be with a man for years, think you knew him inside and out, and then he could still do something that shattered everything.
It made you question your own judgment, your marriage, and your whole view on love and trust.

Chapter 354
If William was going to be so ruthless, why should she spare him any dignity?
Just then, her phone began to buzz.
She looked down and saw that the call was from Tyler.
Her heart skipped a beat.
She’d become especially sensitive to that name lately, but she couldn’t ignore it.
Rachel motioned for Cecilia to stay quiet. She then answered the call. “Mr. Hunt. To what do I owe the pleasure?”
“William’s been taken in for questioning. That was your doing, wasn’t it?”

Rachel paused for a moment. She knew there was no hiding it from Tyler. “Yes.”
“Then let me tell you something. Gerald from the Lewis family just called me. He asked me to help get William out. So, what do you think? Should I agree to help him or not?”
