Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 655

Chapter 655

“Get lost! Even if someone’s handing out scraps, it sure as hell wouldn’t be you. My wife makes sure I eat.”

Tyler pulled Rachel tightly into his arms. In front of everyone, he didn’t hesitate to press a kiss against

her forehead.

The heat of his lips made Rachel’s whole body stiffen. She shot him a shy, almost annoyed glance and

whispered, “Tyler…”

“Save that voice for later,” he murmured into her ear. His warm breath blew across her skin, making her

shiver as a wave of intimacy spread between them.

Rachel’s cheeks flushed red. Sometimes she didn’t know whether to laugh or sigh at him. How could this

man carry himself with such careless swagger, no matter where they were?

The sight of them, so openly affectionate, made Howard’s blood boil.

“Hey! Are you two out of your damn minds? Tyler, you’re about to lose everything, and you’re here showing off in front of me?”

Howard’s gaze shifted to Rachel, eyes gleaming with cruel delight.

“And you, Rachel. When Tyler can’t keep you anymore, or when he can’t satisfy you, you can always come

crawling to me as my mistress.

“Don’t forget, I was willing to marry you once. You turned me down, like you were too good for me. Have

you even looked in a mirror? Divorced, been with God knows how many men, and you still put on airs

with me? You were lucky I was even willing to overlook all that. Now? Too late! You made your bed.”

Rachel’s expression was one of pure disdain.

That proud, untouchable aura of hers made Howard feel like his chest would explode. His veins bulged,

fists clenched, and for a second, he looked ready to pass out from rage.

He jabbed a shaking finger at the two of them.

“Rachel, Tyler, you’re really tough, huh? Just wait! I’ll enjoy watching how long you two can keep acting high and mighty!”

With that, Howard stormed off. Bennett followed close behind.

Only when Rachel saw them leave did she finally exhale. She then turned to Tyler.

“Why aren’t you resting at the hotel? What are you doing here?”

The memory of Howard’s near–meltdown made her uneasy. She feared Tyler might clash with him head- on. After last time, Steven had already been doing everything he could to push Tyler into bankruptcy.

Now, with Howard in the mix, the grudge between the Ziegler family and Tyler was set in stone.

Tyler narrowed his eyes and smiled playfully.

“I’ve got a sixth sense. I felt my girlfriend was in trouble, so I came over.”

“Don’t give me that. Look at you, arguing with him like that. If he runs off and whispers in his old man’s

ear again, who knows what kind of mess he’ll stir up.”

Thinking about this made Rachel’s head ache.

By now, Gerald had finally processed what had happened. Slamming his cane against the floor, he heaved himself up from his chair and threw all the blame straight at her.

“Rachel, did the Lloyd family owe you in the past life? Every time you come back, you throw this house

into chaos!”

Rachel’s expression went cold in an instant. Just as she was about to fire back, Tyler raised his arm to stop her.

He looked at Gerald.

“Old man, don’t you think your favoritism has gone a little too far? Back when Rachel wasn’t your granddaughter, you treated her like dirt. When you found out she was, you wrote her off as an illegitimate child. Meanwhile, your so–called real granddaughter gets all your love–but what has she ever done for the Lloyd family?”
