Chapter 151 Meeting Rachel
After speaking, I stood up and walked towards the elevator entrance.
Walter quickly caught up, a slight frown creasing his brow. He blocked my path, looking at me as he
said, “Tabatha…”
“Walter!” I interrupted him first, not hiding the disappointment on my face at all, looking up at him and
saying, “Ashley brought this on herself, I didn’t go looking for her, sparing her life was only for the sake
of that unborn child. If she is now being cyberbullied to death, I can only say she deserves it. Walter,
I’ve always thought you were a person who could distinguish right from wrong, but now it seems, you’re
just like everyone else.”
Ignoring the ashen look on his face, I continued, “Please sign the divorce agreement as soon as
possible. I don’t need any compensation. from you. If you really want to compensate, then I beg you,
let’s get the divorce certificate quickly and have nothing to do with each other in the future, without
disturbing each other.”
Regarding the Ashley matter, I knew from the start that Walter had no principles or bottom line. I
paused slightly, took a breath, and continued to look at him, “Of course, if you never intend to sign and
divorce me amicably, that’s fine too. You know me, I’m one to hold grudges, especially when I’m upset
and irrational. I won’t care if she’s pregnant or about to give birth, I will stop at nothing to make her pay
for her actions.”
The elevator doors opened, and after I finished speaking, I walked straight into the elevator, ignoring
Walter’s gloomy and unclear expression.
By now, I didn’t have much of those so-called feelings for Walter

anymore. After two years of married life, our relationship was nothing more than one of mutual respect.
Now that things have come to this point, the feelings that once grew from our day and night
companionship have been completely worn away by repeated disappointments.
It seemed that people were like this. The so-called “familiarity breeds affection” was not about affection,
but habit. Suddenly breaking the habit would be very uncomfortable, both physically and mentally.
However, when we clearly realized that we had to break this habit, we would suggest to ourselves in
our minds. Over time, this habit would change. NôvelDrama.Org content.
After leaving the hospital building, I looked up and took a deep breath of fresh air, then pulled out my
phone and called Rachel.
The call connected, and after two rings, Rachel’s excited voice came from the other end, “Big darling,
long time no see, did you miss me?”
After the last incident, I hadn’t heard her call me like this for a long time, nor had I felt such a good
mood from her. I couldn’t help but slightly curve my lips and said, “Hmm, want to, where? Meet up?”
“Alright.” The response on the other end of the phone was very prompt, almost immediately saying,
“Let’s go for afternoon tea, I’ll send you the address, I’m heading over to wait for you now.”
After hurriedly finishing her words, she hung up the phone as soon as I responded.
I took a taxi to the address she gave me.
She arrived before me. In the private room, as soon as I walked in, she came over to me with a smile,
cheerfully asking, “Have you been busy lately? Auntie Eileen said you’ve been so tied up with things
that you can’t spare any time. Have you been taking good care of yourself?”

I caught the main point in her words and asked, “Have you been in contact with my mom recently?”
She nodded, her tone shifting as she asked, “Have you read today’s headline?”
I pulled up a chair and sat down, looking at her with a somewhat serious expression, “The article my
mom asked you to write?”
Recently, I hadn’t seen much of Rachel, nor had we spoken on the phone, but the level of detail in her
article suggested that my mother must have visited her.
She didn’t deny it, instead she poured me a glass of water and placed it in front of me. Her gaze fell on
my hand, wrapped in gauze, and she asked. “What happened to your hand?”
“Hot!” She responded, and I looked at her, but there was no further explanation.
Knowing that I was waiting for her response, she sighed slightly and said, “I know, you don’t like to
make your private affairs public, but Auntie Eileen and I just can’t swallow this. You suffered so much
five years ago. If it weren’t for the fact that you are the daughter of the Conner family, Rudolf and
Auntie Eileen would have spent everything to treat your illness, you would have already…” At this point,
she choked up a bit.
Taking a deep breath, I said, “Tabatha, we didn’t see firsthand the hardships you endured at the border,
but we did see the days after you returned, when you were constantly awakened by nightmares and
suffered a mental breakdown. Even thinking about it now still breaks my heart. Ashley did such terrible
things to you, and now that we’ve finally found the man who kidnapped you all those years ago, we
can’t let Ashley go unpunished. If we do nothing, Auntie Eileen and I will never be able to swallow this
resentment.”
