Chapter 634

The manager’s face went pale.

“Of course, of course! We’d never close down. This was our mistake, and we’ll resolve it right away.” He picked up his walkie-talkie and ordered, “Send a couple of people up to the fifteenth floor. Remove the two intruders.”

Yvette couldn’t wait to get out. “No need to drag me out. I’ll leave on my own.”

By now, William’s gaze toward Rachel no longer carried the anger from before—only guilt.

“Rachel, please, let me explain. About what happened five years ago, I truly didn’t know—”

Rachel didn’t even look at him. “Please send this man out as well.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

The manager noticed William’s distinguished clothing. After working in hotels for so many years, if he hadn’t learned anything else, he’d at least learned how to judge a person’s financial status by their appearance.

Compared to his treatment of Yvette, the manager was clearly much more courteous to William.

“Sir, if you have something to say to the lady, perhaps it’s better to discuss it privately.”

William immediately said, “She’s my ex-wife.”

The manager looked troubled. “Even if she were still your wife, sir, if she refuses to talk, you need to respect her wishes.”

William hesitated. He hadn’t expected things to go this far, but he didn’t want to leave. He wanted to explain things properly to Rachel.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps approached. The security guards the manager had called earlier arrived, lining up at the door.

“Sir, your orders?”

The manager, mindful of William’s status, spoke plainly. “Sir, you can either leave on your own, or we’ll escort you out. But I assure you, the latter won’t look good.”

Seeing the row of security guards, William had no choice. He said nothing more and walked toward the elevators.

At last, there was peace once more.

Rachel let out a sigh and shut the door again.

Chapter 634

Jerry stepped forward.

“Rachel, why didn’t you call the police just now? That would’ve been the perfect chance to get rid of Yvette. Now that she knows I’m still alive, she’ll definitely try to eliminate me—but it doesn’t really matter to me. My life should’ve ended long ago. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even be here now.”

Rachel knew Jerry was loyal. “Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Jerry shook his head. “Rachel, you don’t have to comfort me. I already know what kind of consequences to expect.”

He had long accepted it. Every day he lived now was borrowed time thanks to Rachel, and he bore no complaints.

Rachel, noticing how he was forcing himself to stay strong, shook his shoulders gently. “What are you thinking? When have I ever lied to you? If I say you’ll be fine, then you will be.”

Jerry chuckled. “I’ll be alright. Rachel, let’s finish your work first.”

Rachel sat down, ready to sort out the remaining issues, when her phone suddenly rang.

“Ms. Lloyd, we’ve already taken your sister into custody. When can you come down to give a statement? We also need to verify some details. You know, after all these years, reopening an investigation isn’t easy.”

“Review the evidence I submitted first. I’ll come by tomorrow.”

Rachel knew Yvette too well. That woman would deny everything, but if they could get her to confess before eight o’clock tomorrow morning, that would already count as a success.
