Countdown to My Divorce

Chapter 453

William stumbled back two steps from the punch, finally giving Rachel a chance to break free from his grip.

He barely managed to steady himself and instinctively pressed his tongue against the inside of his mouth. Sharp pain flared. When he wiped the corner of his lips, he was startled to see blood on his hand.

Tyler hadn’t held back. He was ruthless, even with his nephew.

William pointed at Rachel, his fury barely contained. “Are you really going to go this far for her?!”

Tyler, true to his nature, remained eerily calm. His expression didn’t even flicker, as if he hadn’t just thrown a punch. His eyes were black as ink, and somehow, cold as ice. His face looked tense, and his lips were pursed into a flat line.

“You’re the one acting pathetic, William. If your grandfather saw you like this, he’d probably slap you himself.”

With that, Tyler reached out and pulled Rachel to his side, wrapping an arm around her protectively.

“I’m warning you and Samantha both–stay away from her. Otherwise, not even your precious grandfather can protect you.”

It was a public declaration, loud and clear, that Tyler was standing by Rachel.

William’s eyes burned with fury and frustration, but there was nothing he could do to fight Tyler. He straightened his jacket.
