Chapter 629

William’s face turned dark with displeasure. He gritted his teeth and looked darkly at Rachel, his cheek on fire.

“Rachel, how dare you slap me! Are you mad?”

During all those years they were married, she had never laid a finger on him. She never hit him when she was Mrs. Lewis, but here she was, acting so arrogant now that they were divorced.

Rachel smirked. “So what? Don’t you think you deserved it for the filthy words you spewed just now?”

William pointed at the bathrobe Rachel was wearing and then at Jerry, who was topless.

“Did I say anything wrong? Despite being with my uncle, you checked into a hotel room with another man behind his back. Or am I seeing things?” His eyes narrowed skeptically. “Or are you going to tell me that you’re discussing work while dressed like this?”

Rachel nodded and said honestly, “You’re absolutely right. We were discussing work.”

William burst out laughing, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

“Who are you trying to fool? Working while dressed like this? You must be doing very special work!”

Jerry didn’t want Rachel to be misunderstood and spoke up to explain things to William. “Sir, you’ve misunderstood. Rachel and I aren’t what you think we are.”

“Shut up! I’m talking to her right now! Is it your place to butt in?” William’s face twisted with anger as he glared daggers at Jerry.

Jerry clenched his fists, about to flare up, when Rachel stopped him just in time.

“Jerry, there’s no need to get angry over someone like that. It’s not worth it.”

Rachel turned to William. In an icy voice that sent a chill down his spine, she spat, “William, who are you to me, and what right do you have to butt into my affairs? Even if someone questions me, it’ll be Tyler and not you.”

Her words rendered William speechless.

In his anger, he pulled out his phone. “Fine! I’ll see if Tyler will condone your shameless actions when he finds out about you with another man in a hotel!”

Jerry started panicking. “Rachel…”

“Jerry, don’t get yourself involved in this. Head in and do whatever I told you to do just now. We’re running out of time.”

She was getting Jerry to make some amendments to the proposal. If they could secure this project, it might just save Tyler’s company.

Jerry knew that was the more important thing at hand.

“Alright.”

He turned around and walked into the hotel room.

However, it looked like an act of guilt in William’s eyes.

“Are you worried that Tyler will see you trying to hide your illicit lover, and that you won’t be able to handle him when he flares up?”

He didn’t immediately call Tyler. Instead, he toyed with his phone in his hand with a smug smile on his face.

“How about this? I can promise you I won’t tell Tyler about what I found out today, on one condition.”

Rachel said irritably, “I don’t have time to play games with you. Call Tyler if you want. Don’t think I’m clueless about your disgusting intentions. You just want me to have an affair with you, right? Dream on!”
