William couldn’t accept it. He lost control and shouted at Rachel.
“You still love me, don’t you? We’ve been together for seven years! How can your feelings just disappear?”
Rachel didn’t care about a single word he said. In fact, hearing him talk like that made her feel nauseous for no reason. The stench of alcohol on him made her even more uncomfortable.
She couldn’t help but push William away.
“Can you stop being so full of yourself? If I still had feelings for you, I never would’ve left in the first place. When you were fooling around with Samantha, doing all that disgusting stuff behind my back, did you ever think about me?”
But William didn’t seem to think he was wrong at all. Instead, he growled, as if venting all his dissatisfaction with her.
“I never wanted to divorce you!”
“Then that makes you even more disgusting! You wanted to rekindle things with your precious first love while still pretending to be my husband. Don’t you feel sick just hearing yourself? And you keep saying you love me? Yet, you went and reported my dad when he was already in that state. Were you trying to kill him?!”
Rachel’s anger built with every word. There wasn’t a trace of affection in her eyes, only a cold, unfeeling glare.
A smirk suddenly appeared on his face.
“Can’t you tell this is your last chance? As long as you agree to be with me again, I’ll let your dad off
the hook.”
Rachel didn’t hesitate.
“I will never get back together with you. Just looking at you makes my skin crawl. Go be with your precious Samantha. I sincerely wish you two a long, happy life together!”
Right as she finished speaking, the elevator doors opened. Rachel turned, ready to walk away.
Seeing her about to leave, William suddenly lunged forward and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist from behind.
“Rachel, you’d better think this through. This is the last chance to save your dad!!”
Rachel struggled, but William, emboldened by alcohol, was stronger than usual and wouldn’t let go.
She gave him a warning. “William, if you don’t let go right now, don’t blame me for what happens
next.”
“Say yes, and I’ll let go!”

Rachel took a deep breath. “Fine. You won’t let go? Let’s see about that.”
She pulled out her phone and called Samantha. As soon as the call connected, Rachel spoke into the receiver, “Ms. Judd, could you please leash your dog? He’s out here harassing people again.”
Samantha immediately understood that William had gone to find Rachel.
Lately, she had sensed something was off with William. He had been drinking alone more and more, and several times she had heard him muttering someone’s name under his breath. She couldn’t quite catch it, but she was pretty sure it was Rachel.
Just as she was about to ask Rachel to send her the address, the call was suddenly cut off.
William had snatched the phone from Rachel and ended the call.
He yelled at her in frustration, “Why the hell are you calling Samantha? I’m trying to talk about us!

“There’s nothing to talk about between us. Do whatever you want. But I’m warning you one last time–don’t you dare use my dad to threaten me. There is no future between us. None!.”
William let out a cold snort.
“Rachel, we were together for seven years. Don’t think I don’t know you. You treat family like your lifeline. There’s no way you’ll let your dad die. You have no other options, only me.”
Rachel sneered. “Actually, I do. Your uncle.”
