Rachel’s eyes namitally locked onto George across the room. Wherever Cierge went, he was the center of attention. No one could ignore him
Standing beside him, Callic, radiant and impeccably dressed, watched in stunned silence. She couldn’t believe what was happening.

But after today. Rachel standing before him seemed like someone completely

“Rachel, who gave you permission to come here! George stepped toward her, grabbing her wrist.
Bun Rachel was too quick. She jerked her arm away, her face twisted in disgust
George’s hand graped nothing but air, and a cold weight sented in his chest as he noticed the repulsion in her eyes. He thought, ‘Could it be? Rachel actually despises met”
“Mr. Fox, there are so many people watching. If you have something to say, just say it. No need to get physical Rachel’s voice was calm and composed.
Only then did George notice the shocked stares from the people a

Chapter 5
Rachel’s disgust was almost palpable, “Enough, George promised me 100 million dollars in compensation, and I still haven’t seen a cent. Don’t waste your time trying to sweet–talk me,
“If you want to help, tell him to hurry up and transfer the money. Otherwise, I’ll start wondering if he’s just dragging things out on purpose because he doesn’t want a divorce.
“Who’s dragging things out? George’s anger flared at his name being mentioned. “If you’re not here to make trouble, then get out of this banquet. night now! Leave, and 111 transfer the money to you immediately.” He pointed toward the entrance of the hall.
The onlookers were still watching, intrigued. While George was used to being the center of attention, this was different. The looks he was getting now were more like gossiping stares. He rubbed his temples, the anger simmering in his chest.
“What! I came to attend Sarrattop Group’s banquet. Why should I listen to you? Just because you say I should leave, does that mean I have to? This is Sarrattop Group’s event, not the Fox family’s, Mr. Fox!” Rachel said.
Rachel was speechless, thinking. How is it fair for me to be kicked out of a banquet that’s supposed to be mine?‘
Callie was almost certain now–Rachel was here to cling to George.
“Rachel. please, don’t do this. I’m begging you. If you keep this up, you’ll ruin everything for George. I’ll even beg if that’s what it takes for you to leave… Callie faked a pleading expression, grabbing Rachel’s arm
George was seething. He yanked Callie back. “No need to beg her.”
“But today’s deal is really important to you, George. I don’t mind…” Callie said.
Rachel almost laughed. “Beg if you want, but who are you acting for?”
Without warning Rachel kicked Callie’s leg. With a loud thud, Callie actually collapsed on the spot.
The surrounding crowd gasped, their eyes wide with shock.
“Rachel!” George’s eyes turned icy, his fury unmistakable.
“She asked for it. I’ve never heard of someone wanting to beg like this,” Rachel said, shrugging innocently.

Tears instantly welled up in

then, a clear voice rang out from behind them. Herb Rowse, the assistant to the chairman of Sarrattop Group, stepped forward.
Everyone was stunned, thinking, ‘Herb called her Ms. Sarratt?
