Chapter 411
William furrowed his brows, suddenly becoming alert.
“You know who my uncle is?” he asked Rachel.
“I don’t. Of course, I wouldn’t mind if you told me who he is.”
Rachel just wanted William to know that even if he wasn’t willing to help Jim, she had alternatives.
Even though she had no idea what this alternative looked like…
She wouldn’t give up on even a glimmer of hope.
William was right about one thing. She would never give up so easily on her family. Jim was her only family left in this world, and she would fight tooth and nail to protect him.
Rachel sensed William sighing in relief, as though glad that she still didn’t know who his uncle was.
She found it particularly odd and questioned William, “From the look on your face… Do I happen to know your uncle?”
William glared at Rachel, his eyes flashing in warning.
“I’m warning you, Rachel. My uncle isn’t easy to deal with and will probably swallow you whole. Provoke him and you won’t be able to shake him off the rest of your life. Also, the Lewis family can’t afford to be embarrassed again. You used to be my wife, for goodness‘ sake. My uncle is the last person you should be looking for!”
Rachel was intrigued to see William all riled up at the mention of his uncle.
She spun the keyring on her finger and scoffed, “Why are you and Samantha allowed to mess around? Why do you get to call it embarrassing for your family when a single lady like me looks for your uncle?”
The extent of William’s shamelessness never failed to surprise her.
She must have been blind in the past to have spent so many years of her life with such a despicable
man.
William pursed his lips tightly, his face dark with displeasure.
“You’ll regret this! My family will never allow my ex–wife to get involved with my uncle. You’ve known my family for so many years. Don’t you know what my grandfather is capable of?”
Rachel could hear the threat in his voice. Her eyes narrowed dangerously as she gave him a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.
“So what? Do you really think I’m still the same Rachel from the past, who did everything you told her to?”
William knew that Rachel was a new woman now. Her aura was worlds apart from before, and he hated how much she had changed.

It would only make her attract even more men to her.
No matter what and no matter when, she would always be his wife.
He grabbed her arm, trying to reignite her love for him by reminding her how beautiful their past
was.
“Rachel, have you forgotten? We once promised each other we’d be together forever. Our love will be everlasting! I’ve never forgotten that.”
Rachel dodged his advance the moment he stretched his hand toward her.
“That’s quite enough, William. Can you please stop bringing up the past? It truly disgusts me! You either find a way to clear my father’s name right now, or you might just find yourself calling me your aunt one day.”
With that, Rachel stepped into the elevator without any hesitation. She pressed a button and took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Suddenly, she burst out laughing at the thought of what she just said.
Being William’s aunt? The audacity of her to even think of that!
As for William, he had wanted to force Rachel into agreeing by making use of Jim.
Given his current situation, he couldn’t afford to go through another divorce. The last scandal that broke out over his divorce had done quite a bit of damage to his reputation.
Who knew that Rachel was so stubborn and refused to be with him again?
