Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 556

“Mr. Thomas arranged for some women to drop by and try their luck, but Mr. Hunt had one condition. If Ray didn’t reject the woman and took the initiative to approach her, then she could stay and try to build a connection with him.”

Rachel usually wasn’t the type to enjoy gossip, but when it came to Tyler’s bizarre quirks, she was all ears. Her eyes practically sparkled with curiosity as she leaned closer to Wanda, eager to know more.

“And? What happened then? Don’t tell me none of those women made the cut?”

Wanda nodded. “Not a single one.”

“Hey, I need you to look into something for me. Ten years ago, there was a fire. I need to know if there were any other people present and, specifically, where Tyler was at the time.”

hard proof–it was gut instinct.

She knew William too well. The moment she caught him in one lie, it usually meant there were ten more

waiting behind it.

“Actually, I’ve already started digging. Someone claimed the guy who rescued you was struck by a wooden beam when the roof collapsed. If that’s true, he should have a scar.”

Rachel’s brows furrowed. “Are you sure?”

“Positive. After you mentioned it last time, I started digging. It wasn’t easy, but I found traces of something being deliberately covered up.”
