    A well–dressed man in a tailored suit walked in shortly after. Gerald, seeing an unfamiliar bface/b, instinctively asked, “Rachel, dear, who is thisb?/bb” /b

    The way he addressed her almost made Rachelugh.

    Gerald, of all people, suddenly ying the part of a caring elder–he wasn’t fooling anyone. He only

    wanted to keep the Lloyd family’s infighting from leaking out and ruining his reputation. Now, to protect himself, he was suddenly acting cordial with her.

    Rachel kept her tone t as she introduced him.

    “This is Mr. Wright. He specializes in divorce cases like my father’s. Sasha, don’t think I brought him here to intimidate you. Thew is thew–it’s not something I can bend to my will. If you don’t believe me, you can verify it yourself.”

    She nodded at Mr. Wright, who stepped forward and handed a document to Sasha.

    b“/bMs. Dawson, given your situation, everything you want to know is exined in this file.”

    Sasha took the papers, suspicious but still flipping through them. She didn’t even finish before her pupils contracted sharply.

    “Impossible! You’re lying to me! I’ve already asked–if he’s dered mentally unstable, his will doesn’t hold up on his word alone.”

    Mr. Wright replied patiently, “That’s true only under certain conditions. Thew is very clear. Unless there’s undeniable proof that Mr. Lloyd has no grasp of reality or a documented history of mental illness, his will remains legally valid.”

    Sasha froze, her voice stiff and mechanical as she muttered the same words over and over.

    “No! That’s impossible. You’re lying! You’re all working together to trick me. Rachel, you just want to keep all of the Lloyd fortune for yourself, so you dragged in some so–calledwyer to scare me. Do you really

    think I’ll buy this nonsense?”

    Rachel propped her elbow against her head, her voice cool and steady.

    “You don’t have to believe me. But everything he just said? You can verify it yourself.”

    Mr. Wright stepped closer and handed Sasha a business card.

    “bIf /bbyou /bdon’t trust me, Ms. Dawson, feel free to investigate. We’re a registered firm.”

    Sasha lowered her gaze to the card in her hand–Sky Tech Enterprise, Law Division. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked back at him.

    b“/bYou’re with Sky Tech Enterprise?”

    Mr. Wright nodded. “Yes. I’m with Sky Tech Enterprise. I’m sure you’ve heard of us–we’re one of the most

    well–known firms in the industry.”

    Sasha’s mind went nk. Of course she had heard of Sky Tech. They were practically legendary in legal

    circles. Whether or not she dared fight, one thing was clear–thewyer’s words were most likely true.

    That meant her n was ruined.

    Her strength drained all at once. She copsed into a chair with a look of despair on her face.

    Rachel smiled. It seemed Sasha’s matter had been handled.

    Just as Rachel thought the matter was settled for good, a maid ran in.

    “Sir, someone’s here to visit.”

    Gerald frowned.

    “Who?”

    “Mr. Howard from the Ziegler family.”

    The name alone made Rachel’s whole body tremble. She wasn’t afraid of him–not exactly–but her

    reaction was visceral, automatic, and beyond her control.

    Ever since that incident, she hadn’t had a proper night’s sleep. Night after night, the nightmares came

    back to haunt her.
