Chapter 570:

As she shut her eyes and steeled herself to proceed, he interrupted the tense silence. “I didn’t say you could close your eyes. Do you think you can just strip me and leave?

Repeatedly, Rachel felt the urge to leave, but the thought of Jeffrey compelled her to stay. However, as Brian’s demands increased and he offered no support, she felt herself pushed to the brink.

“Mr. White, you’ve always carried yourself with pride. When we parted ways, you saw it as a blow to your dignity, leaving you compromised. I’m aware you harbor resentment towards me. Do what you will with me, but Jeffrey is blameless. Please, release him. He’s been locked away for too long, and it’s breaking him,” Rachel pleaded with Brian, tears cascading down her cheeks.
