“I loathe it when others threaten me!” Arthur was incensed as he pointed at Rachel’s face and rebuked her by saying, “Do you think that you can walk out of this place unscathed today?”
“Since I even bothered to come all the way here, I’ve naturally made ample preparations. If you dare to lay a hand on me, I won’t be the only one going down—you’ll be affecting all the Burton Pharmaceuticals resources that I own too,” Rachel answered in a bland tone.
“You think that I’ll cower because of that? So what if the entire Burton Pharmaceuticals crumbles?”
“I have the Carters backing me as well. Are you sure you won’t bat an eye when they breathe down your neck?”
Arthur’s expression was stormy. He had nearly forgotten that Rachel was now the president of Carter Enterprise’s adopted daughter. Everyone knew just how much both the president and his wife adored her; in fact, they loved her no less than if she were their own flesh and blood.
“I think you should be able to see that I wouldn’t have returned to this country if it wasn’t for that incident with Hans. Since you want me to leave, the best way would, of course, be to hand me the evidence so I can get this over with. I’ll then glady leave without you needing to remind me about it.” Rachel stood up. “To me, Riverdale is just a place filled with pain. I am not attached to this city.” As she spoke, loud noises could be heard outside the study.

forceful as ever. “Grandpa, why did you bring Rachel here?” “I called her over so that I could have a word with her. Do I need to report something like this to you?” “If you just wanted to talk to her, couldn’t you have done it over a phone call? Why the racket? Why get the butler to retrieve her?” Justin’s tone was harsh and pressuring. “What’s with that attitude? What does having a talk with her have to do with you? I should be able to ask her a few questions even if she is an employee under the Burton Group, no? I have made my decision—I will have her transferred to a subsidiary away from the headquarters!” Arthur stated, incensed. “What?” Justin’s expression turned stormy. “She is under my jurisdiction. Apart from myself, no one is allowed to transfer her anywhere!” “You wilful child!” Arthur smacked the top of the desk hard. “Do not forget that you are still engaged to Amber. The wedding will be held at the end of the year! Don’t you know when to stop avoiding your responsibilities? Have you not seen what the media has been saying about this?” Ever since Justin and Rachel announced that Samuel was their son during that press conference, countless speculations and theories had popped up online about their relationship, their hatred for each other, as well as their love.
