Chapter 15
Hearing this. Rachel finally got the answer she wanted. She decided to drop the act, letting her previous anxious expression fade and replaced it with coldness and disgust. “So it was you?”
years of understanding Rachel, he knew she was
Seeing Rachel reveal her true self, Andrew also laid his cards s on the table. Based on his year a smart woman and nothing he did could escape her eyes.
“Yeah. Jennie wasn’t even home at that time. You left her with Charles. Rachel, do you even deserve to be a mother How can a woman like you exist!” Andrew said.
“Andrew, I used to just think you were selfish. But now, you scare me. Do you have any idea how close I was to… Rachel said.
Meeting Rachel’s eyes filled with fear and shock, Andrew felt like he had achieved his goal and seemed quite satisfied with her reaction.
“Now you know fear, huh? If you don’t settle down and keep causing trouble, there will be more of these little accidents‘ in the future,” Andrew said.
Hearing this, Rachel’s heart completely died. She used to think that after all these years, even if they couldn’t be a couple, they could at least part ways amicably.
Rachel sent a message to Natalie.
Now, Rachel realized how naive she had been. In that case, don’t blame her for fighting back. Rache
Seeing Rachel standing there in a daze, Andrew thought she was scared and that his threat had worked. He said earnestly, “Rachel, are you still going to make a fuss?”
Rachel coldly looked at this man she had known for years and used to be intimate with. It was as if she had just seen his true nature for the first time.
At that moment, the phone on the table rang. As soon as Andrew saw the caller, he reached for it almost immediately.
Rachel quickly blocked his way. “Andrew, are you playing double standards?”
“Get out of the way!” Andrew didn’t want to waste words with her. “Yedda must have something important if she’s calling me “Yeah, she’s calling you because she has something important, and I’m just making a fuss? Andrew, don’t you find that funny?” Andrew pushed Rachel aside and answered the call. His voice was unusually gentle. “What’s up?”
A few seconds later, Andrew’s sharp gaze was fixed on Rachel.
Rachel acted as if nothing had happened, sitting on the sofa and deliberately shouting loudly towards the door, “Bring me a cup of coffee, double cream, no sugar.”
“Rachel, are you crazy? How dare you lay a hand on Yedda? I’ll.” Andrew shouted.
“Kill me? Bring it on. Do you really think I’m afraid of you?” Rachel spoke back loudly to him, completely ignoring Andrew’s bloodthirsty look
Never having seen Rachel like this before, Andrew felt quite unfamiliar with her for a moment.
“Andrew, don’t forget I’m the lady of the Sampson family. I’ve seen it all, through wind and rain, and I’m definitely not a pushover like Yedda, who just cries at the slightest problem.
“All these years, I’ve been married to you, taking care of the kids and managing the household, but that doesn’t mean 1, Rachel, doormat for anyone to step on and play with!
“Today’s incident is just a small lesson. If you ever dare to lay a hand on me again, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” With that, Rachel got up and walked out
As she reached the door, the female secretary, wearing a pencil skirt and holding a cup of coffee, stood there. Rachel walked up, took a good look for a couple of seconds, and then sipped the coffee gracefully, with a calm expression:
Had she not heard it with her own ears just now at the door, the secretary would never have imagined that the gentle and dignified Rachel could actually have such a domineering and formidable side.
Corning downstairs, Rachel found her phone in her pocket had been ringing r
non–stop. It turned out to be a call from Chloe.
Chapter 15
After redialing, she heard Chlor’s voice, “You’re not hiding in some comer crying, are you?”
Though her tone was harsh, that was Chloe’s unique way of showing concert
“Mrs. Anderson, you really don’t have much faith in me, do you? Rachel said.
“That’s more like it. Don’t be a crybaby. If you made the choice willingly, then don’t regret it later, What matters now is how to move forward properly,” Chloe said.
“I know. By the way, you called to tell me some good news, right?”
Sure enough, with her love–struck mind gone, Rachel’s intelligence seemed to return as well.
“You’re not completely brainless. I found out that the gemstone pendant with the dragon pattern is actually a pair, and there should be another one with the phoenix pattern. I’m still looking into it, and you can also search your home to see if it’s there.”
After the incident at home years ago, almost everything was plundered. It seemed like her parents had anticipated it and moved all the important things to her house. But now, with the fire…..
Rachel had a splitting headache when she got a call from a mysterious person. It was dusk, and she was in the library.
The setting sun was
sum was like blood. Rachel heard the deep, dangerous voice of the man on the other end. “Ms. Sampson, I heard you’re looking for a gemstone pendant with the phoenix pattern?”
“Is it in your possession? Rachel asked..
“What do you think? The man’s casual tone was filled with unspoken confidence.
But Rachel wasn’t that naive. Just after Chloe found out about the pendant, this guy contacted her. Was there really such a coincidence. in the world!
Rachel’s eyes twinkled, and she quickly replied, “Sure, but the other one is with Andrew. Even if I wanted to bring it over, I don’t have the ability to As you might have heard. Andrew and I are in the middle of a divorce. I’m afraid I can’t go
“Andrew! You really gave it to Andrew?” The man seemed genuinely surprised.
The pendant must have quite a story behind it.
Rachel feigned ignorance and retorted, “So what? It’s just a pendant. Although it has a unique design, compared to the Zevon family’s fortune, it’s nothing special”
You really are as clueless as the rumors say!”
The man didn’t take the bait, so Rachel continued to lead him on “Hey, this just a business deal. Why are you attacking me personally? It’s just an old pendant. Is it really that valuable? If you want it so badly Andrew’s safe combination’s password is 111208. If you’ve got the guts, go to his house and get it.”
Without giving the man a chance to respond, Rachel hung up, She wanted to see if this mysterious person would dare to go against the
After all, the Zevon family’s security was managed by one of the top security companies in the country. Even if this guy had superpowers, he’d still get hurt trying to break in.
Of course, Rachel didn’t do this just to see Andrew get embarrassed. She wanted to test the mysterious man’s capabilities.
Although the man had been arrogant and dismissive during their conversation, Rachel sensed that he was very interested in the pendant she had Since they both had the same goal, why not collaborate?
That night, the Zevon manor was quiet under the night sky. After Andrew came home, he found Richard’s face as bad as ever. Önce again, mentioning Rachel at the dinner table. Andrew couldn’t help but argue. “Grandpa, you keep saying how great Rachel is. But do you even know what she’s doing now?”
Richard, holding his spoon, looked displeased and stern. “What exactly are you trying to say?”
He threw down his chopsticks in a huff. “If you don’t bring Rachel back, don’t bother coming home again!”
Andrew was so angry that he lost his appetite. He watched as Richard was wheeled away by the servants and sat in his chair, silent for a

long time.
A few minutes later, the servants, who were trembling behind him, saw Andrew walking upstairs with a gloomy expression. After exchanging glances, they quickly started to clear the table.
As Andrew went to take a shower in the bathroom, he heard a noise from the e window outside. He immediately stopped what he was doing, grabbed the towel beside him, and walked out.
When Andrew went upstairs just now, he was so angry that he didn’t turn on the light. Through the cool moonlight, he saw a shadow hiding behind the blowing curtains of the open window. Despite the man’s efforts to stick to the wall, Andrew still spotted him.
Andrew silently moved towards the window. He wanted to see who had the nerve to come to the Zevon manor looking for trouble.
But just as he took a few steps, a man lurking in the darkness slowly approached him without Andrew noticing.
