    William hadn’t expected Rachel, who was usually so quiet and reserved, to speak with such


    harsh words.


    Every sentence stabbed deep, like a knife to his chest.


    His brows furrowed deeply.


    “Rachel, you…”


    But Rachel wasn’t finished. If it weren’t for the disgust William had caused her to feel with everything he had done, she would’ve never believed she could speak so harshly.


    ‘And another thing, William. Even if I had to marry a random man off the street, I would never get back together with you.”


    William, born into wealth and status, had never suffered such humiliation in his life. Yet, Rachel made him sound like a patheticpdog, throwing himself at someone who didn’t want


    him.


    His eyes were bloodshot. His fists clenched, veins bulging on the backs of his hands.


    “Say that again! I dare you!”


    Rachel, however, wasn’t the least bit intimidated. Word by word, she said firmly, “Please show yourself some respect, Mr. Lewis.”


    William suddenly grabbed her shoulders with both hands. He had lost hisposure entirely. “You’re my wife! What right do you have to say that to me?”


    Rachel tried to push him off, but with his current state of mind,pletely out of control, she didn’t stand a chance. Even on a normal day, she couldn’t overpower him.


    “William, this is not the ce for your tantrum!”


    A man’s stern voice rang out.


    The next second, a heavy punchnded squarely on William’s face.
