George watched as Rachel leisurely got into the car, crossing her legs with a casual air, her expression one of utter calm. The sight made his blood boil

How did she do it? Every gesture, every look seemed perfectly designed to hit his sore spots, leaving him furious

But in the end, he was defeated by reality and reluctantly got into the car

Take us to Jenster Mansion,he said through gritted teeth

Rachel glanced at him. You’ve got somewhere to stay, right?” 

George raised an eyebrow. You seem to know a lot about me.” 

Well, not everyone lives under a rock like you,she quipped, her voice dripping with sarcasm

Everything she said made it sound like she was in the right, while anything George did was wrong. How did she manage to twist everything in her favor

The driver turned around, clearly confused. Where are we headed?” 

Jenster Mansion,Rachel repeated

The driver looked at them both, now even more puzzled. He glanced back at the watch George had tried to give him earlier, wondering if he’d made a mistake

Finally, they reached the city. The sight of the lights made Rachel eager to get out of the car. She signaled for the driver to stop, and without saying a word to George, she stepped out and disappeared into the street corner

WaitGeorge suddenly realized, with a jolt, that he had no idea where Rachel was living now, after they’d left their old home

Hey, George, why are you back in this junky car?Mortimer asked, staring at him in disbelief as he got out of the dilapidated van

George’s face darkened. He had no desire to recount the miserable experience. He never wanted to sit in a car like that again

Come on in,Mortimer invited, noticing George’s sour mood

Inside, George went straight to the study, sat down, and opened his laptop. He typed in a series of codes and accessed

system

What is this?Mortimer asked, leaning in for a better look

This is the network system for the HalfMountain Estate, George replied coolly. What kind of skills do you think it would take to hack into something like this?” 

Why would you want to hack into it?Mortimer asked, puzzled

But as he looked more closely, understanding began to dawn on him. Waitthis place? Why would a mansion need such a tight security system?” 

George frowned deeply

It wasn’t just a simple system. No wonder Rachel had spent so much time trying to crack it

But the fact that she was able to hack into such a complicated system said something. It hinted at her true level of expertise

Rachel spent half an hour cracking the system earlier,George muttered, his eyes dark. He leaned back into the large black chair behind him. She’s really that good?” 

Mortimer was stunned. She’s that capable?” 

Rachel, on the other hand, had just heard that Bryant had used some excuse to take off, fleeing the scene. Lucky for him, he was fast

Rachel clenched her fists as she returned home

The next day, after a night of rest, Rachel went back to the office. She saw Herb and went straight to the point. Did last night’s mess have anything to do with you?” 

How could it?Herb shrugged. Butif you’re really over George, why not just talk to your father about it? Also, I saw the security footage. You really threw up all over George. What happened? Is your stomach upset?” 

Rachel’s expression shifted slightly

That’s irrelevant. I know what I’m doing,” she replied coldly. As for the acquisition of Elysium Media, we need to speed up the process. I have a feeling George is going to target us, and he’ll likely move against Elysium Media soon.” 

Got it. Actually, I’ve already contacted Braylen Cobb, the CEO of Elysium Media. He’s been into poker recently and is attending a game. We’ve arranged to meet him at the game the day after tomorrow.” 

Perfect,” Rachel said, satisfied with the plan

Meanwhile, George was massaging his temples, still trying to shake off the discomfort from the previous night

After being vomited on by Rachel, he’d spent the whole night feeling physically off. He wasn’t exactly nauseous, but his usual cleanfreak tendencies were making him feel more uneasy than he’d like to admit

George, you don’t look too good. Are you working too hard lately?she asked, concerned

George looked up. What are you doing here?” 

I know you’ve been busy, so I made some soup for you,” she said gently, setting the tray down

She noticed the weariness in his face and hesitated before speaking again. I heard you’re acquiring Elysium Media?” 

How did you know?George asked, surprised

I wasn’t eavesdropping, but I overheard some people talking outside. Actually, I have a connection with Elysium Media. If you’d like, I could help you get in touch with them. I’m sure Braylen would give us a little favor, considering the relationship my family has with him.” 

George raised an eyebrow. What’s your connection to Elysium Media?” 

My mother was classmates with Braylen. When I was little, he even came over to my house for my birthday. If you’re serious about acquiring Elysium Media, I can try to reach out to him privately. Given our past connection, I’m sure he’ll be willing to help us.” 

George thought it over. It seemed like a solid plan

Alright, CallieI’ll leave this to you.”

Callie smiled warmly, placing a hand on her stomach. It’s no trouble at all. We’re in this together, right? Helping you is the same as helping myselfand our child.” 

George couldn’t help but smile slightly at the sight of her gently cradling her belly. He wasn’t yet feeling fully like a father, but the responsibility was beginning to settle in

I’ll handle the divorce with Rachel soon. Don’t worry, Callie,he said softly

Callie nodded, understanding. I know how hard it is for you. She’s asking for 100 million dollarsshe’s being unreasonable. You’re right not to give it to her.” 

George took a deep breath

It wasn’t just about the money. He realized it wasn’t just about principle eitherhe was fighting his own frustration, his wounded pride

In truth, Rachel had been a good wife. Perhaps he hadn’t given her the attention she deserved over the years

100 million dollars to buy out three years of marriage? Maybe that wasn’t such a bad deal after all

Callie, watching him closely, thought to herself that George must be deeply conflicted

But she was certain she was different from Rachelthis marriage made sense for the Fox family. She was the true partner for his career, while Rachel, despite her care at home, never really contributed to his success

On Friday, Rachel and Herb arrived at the Northville World Trade Center

Today, a major professional poker tournament was being held there

This old fox has been hard to find. But I managed to track him down. He’s obsessed with poker lately, and he’s in one of the VIP boxesperfect for watching the game. He’s expecting us,Herb said, filling Rachel in
