?Chapter 290:


    By the time she finished, tears were already rolling down her face.


    Brian stared at her, his expression one of sheer disbelief. The realization struck him that, in her heart, she had deemed himpletely unforgivable—a truth he was only nowing to terms with. He stumbled over his words, struggling to articte his feelings. However, Rachel calmly wiped her tears away, her gaze steady.


    “You might not have seen things this way, but it doesn’t really matter now. I’m moving on.”


    She then turned and slowly walked down the path bordered by trees, vanishing into the night. With each step she took, her figure shrank into the distance. A deep sense of emptiness surged through Brian as he watched. He reached out in a futile attempt to hold onto something, anything. Yet, he grasped only the empty air.


    From that evening onward, Rachel and Brian hadn’t crossed paths for quite some time. Unaware of the separation, Samira asionally mentioned it.


    “Rachel, have you heard? Tracy is acting as if she owns the ce. You were Mr. White’s fiancée! How can she act so brazenly if she was his bride-to-be? It’s outrageous!”


    Hearing the term “fiancée,” Rachel was suddenly taken aback. It seemed like an eternity had passed since that designation fit, though it had only been days.


    “Samira, Brian and I are no longer together,” Rachel suddenly said, which took Samira by surprise.


    Samira gasped, taken aback. “Oh, I’m sorry, Rachel. I had no idea.”


    “It’s alright. Haven’t you always said there are plenty of good men out there? Perhaps it’s time I look for someone younger and hotter,” Rachel said, partly tofort Samira and partly to bolster her own resolve.


    “That’s the spirit!”


    “Exactly, why settle for just one when there are so many out there?”


    As she finished speaking, the office door swung open abruptly.


    “Really now?” A deep voice, cold as ice, devoid of warmth.


    Brian entered, his tall figuremanding the room, while Tracy followed closely behind, holding a document.


    “Samira, would you mind giving us a moment?” Rachel suggested swiftly.

    With Samira out of the room and the door shut behind her, Rachel’s heart thumped wildly. Brian’s unexpected arrival caught her off guard.


    “You’re considering someone new? And you’re looking for someone younger and hotter? Really? Am I not enough after all this time?” Brian said through gritted teeth.


    Rachel’s cheeks flushed as she tried to change the subject. “What are you two doing here?”


    With a calm expression, Tracy exined, “We’re here for a routine inspection. Mr. White started on the first floor.”


    Rachel nodded. “I see. There’s no need to worry; I didn’t assume he came just for me. You’re free to go now that the inspection’s done.” Brian left the room forcefully, the door mming shut with a resounding thud.


    Later that night, Rachel felt unwell. She managed to eat a little before lying down. As she drifted into a restless sleep, her phone buzzed relentlessly. Picking it up, she saw numerous missed calls, mostly from Brian. Yvonne was on the other end this time.
