Countdown to My Divorce

Chapter 97

But there was no way around it–if this contract wasn’t signed, Rachel couldn’t leave.

Even without looking, Rachel could feel Samantha and William’s glares stabbing into her like needles. After Tyler pulled that move, everyone probably thought she was on his side.

Otherwise, why would he hand something this important to her instead of reviewing it himself?

Rachel hesitated for a moment, then finally reached out and took the contract. Then, she braced herself as she flipped through the pages. After checking everything carefully, she looked at Tyler and said, “Mr. Hunt, I’ve gone through it. Everything looks fine.”

Tyler waved his hand. “Good. Go ahead and sign it.”

As soon as the contract was signed, Samantha couldn’t hold it in anymore and quickly said, “I’ll let you all keep talking. I need some air.”

William took the document and instinctively looked at Rachel. She knew exactly what that meant. But no matter what, she wasn’t going to let William be the one to speak first–not with Yvette watching, ready to mock her.. So she said, “Go check on her. She’s new–maybe not used to this kind of pressure.”

William gave a short nod. “Call me when you’re ready to leave.”
