?Chapter 148:


    “Thanks, anyway. I appreciate all your hard work.”


    “May I ask you something?”


    “Sure, go ahead.”


    Eric then asked, “Is it true that you’re arranging your marriage to Mr. White?”


    “Yes, we are, and you’ll definitely receive an invitation.”


    Eric quickly added, “I didn’t mean to inquire about the invitation. What I meant was, marrying Mr. White soon could significantly help your case in securing Jeffrey’s custody.”


    A thrill of excitement ran through Rachel. “Is that true?”


    “Absolutely, the chances of winning are good.”


    “Thanks for that advice. I’ll consider moving up the wedding.”


    “Excellent. We’ll schedule the next hearing after your marriage. The chances of sess will definitely be high.”


    “Mr. Riley, I can’t thank you enough.”


    Ending the call, Rachel felt a surge of happiness.


    Brian picked up on her mood immediately. He enveloped her in his embrace, nestling his face into her neck and deeply inhaling her scent.


    “Is it good news? You look so happy.”


    “It looks like we have a new chance to win Jeffrey’s custody.”


    “Does that mean there’s a special reward for me?” Brian asked yfully.


    Understanding his implication, Rachel, her cheeks coloring, replied, “Not just yet. I have to sign some documents first. I’ll only rx once everything is official.”

    “Okay then.”


    Brian was a bit disappointed not to get what he wanted.


    That same morning, he took it upon himself to drive Rachel to the contractual signing.


    In the meeting room, Rachel was d in a light purple business suit, striking a bnce between professionalism and elegance. Her flowing hair added a touch of grace and allure.


    After a short wait, a polite voice called out from the doorway, “Hello, Mr. Garrett.”


    Momentster, the meeting room door swung open, revealing a pair of meticulous, slender hands.


    Rachel turned swiftly, a warm smile appearing on her face as she approached. She reached out gracefully and greeted, “Nice to meet…”


    However, the moment her eyesnded on Andres’s face, she froze in ce. It felt like she had suddenly lost the ability to move. After what felt like an eternity, she finally found her voice, filled with surprise. “It’s…”


    “Good morning, Ms. Marsh.”


    While Rachel stood in shock, Andres remained asposed as ever.


    “I never imagined you’d be the president of Synergy Group,” Rachel said, masking her surprise with a polite smile as she reached out her hand again.


    “Fate works in mysterious ways, doesn’t it? Maybe we were always meant to cross paths,” Andres remarked, shaking her hand with firm confidence. Maybe it was the chill in the meeting room, but her hand felt startlingly cold. And yet, there was something strangely soothing about its coolness.
