“She was the one who started all this. “She asked for it!” Raquel exclaimed.

Joshua showed no interest in his words. “Go away. Alicia can’t see you now.”

Determined not to waste her visit, Rachel continued. “Mr. Yates, I had no idea you still had feelings for Alicia. Otherwise, I wouldn't have treated you like that. Don’t we deserve a chance to work things out?”

Joshua sat back cross-legged as he lit a cigarette, letting her ramble on. The disdain etched on his face was unmistakable. Under his intense gaze, Rachel felt a wave of humiliation wash over her. Her voice shook as she replied, “But it was the Reyes family that harassed her. Why should we have to suffer the consequences?”

Joshua exhaled a cloud of smoke. “The Gray family has a lot of money and influence, and Randolph is very capable. “I taught him a little lesson, and you’re already struggling to get ahead?”

Rachel felt her frustration boil over. “Randolph owes $300 million and is facing trial! You call that a little lesson?”

Joshua's face turned grim. “$300 million?” When he acted, he had expected Randolph to lose only a few million. How had I gotten to $300 million?

Seeing the confused expression on his face, Rachel suspected that he was pretending not to know anything.

She wiped away her tears, feeling humiliated. Despite her anger, she tried to be polite. “The damage has been done and we acknowledge our mistakes. Mr. Yates, please allow me to apologize. Stop this and give us a way out.”

Joshua felt that something was wrong. He asked, “Did the Gray family lose $300 million? How did it happen?”

Rachel didn't understand his question. Did he find it funny?
