His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1219 A Wedge Between Rachel And Holley

It didn't matter anymore. Whatever Lance was thinking, whether or not he meant what he said, as long

as he could satisfy their needs while he acted in his own self-interest, everything would be fine.

"Fine, then. When I get back to the office, I'll get on it."

"Ms. Bai," Holley began to question, "are you sure that Lance will get scared of such a thing? Don't we

need a backup plan?"

Just because Rachel didn't value the matter, it didn't mean that Holley didn't either. Especially at this

crucial moment, Holley was obviously anxious—it was clear that not even a single mistake could be

made if Tarsan Corporation really intended to get out of trouble. A single blunder could lead to an

irreversible outcome.

"It'll be fine. First things first—once these materials are exposed, his wife should know immediately.

Since he's so afraid of his wife, he'll definitely be cautious."

In this case, Rachel was pretty sure of things. When she was still an entertainer at Silver Corporation,

the news that Lance was henpecked went viral around the circle like wildfire.

Nevertheless, Lance's wife played a big role in their plan—they had to rely on how much he valued her

since she made an indispensable contribution to his current status.

Though, it wasn't because his wife was a successful businesswoman, but because she came from a

well-established family. When Silver Corporation was first launched, Lance's father-in-law played a

crucial role in handling a wide range of connections.

Even when his father-in-law passed away, the shares his wife possessed were ten percent more than

Lance's. In other words, his wife was, in fact, the largest shareholder of the corporation in spite of

spending most of her years assisting her husband and raising their children at home.

The real reason why Lance had so much authority in the corporation was that he and his wife had a

close relationship—she trusted him wholeheartedly. Once the photos and videos were exposed to the

public, Lance would have troublesome days ahead of him.

Since Rachel found out about it, she knew that it was Lance's Achilles' heel. In order to survive, he

would do anything to protect himself from a scandal.

But Rachel ignored one thing—how could he await his doom without lifting a finger?

If Rachel could manipulate him so easily, he wouldn't have been able to develop Silver Corporation to

such a successful business.

Rachel couldn't figure it out, but Holley had her own ideas about it. "Ms. Bai, in my humble opinion, no

matter how powerful you are, we'd better stay on alert."

What Holley said wasn't really for Rachel's sake, but to help ensure that her efforts wouldn't go to

waste.

"How do we keep alert?"

Clueless about how to fix the situation, she seemed confused.

"There's no need for you to worry about it. Just leave it to me."

It was clear to Holley that Rachel wasn't going to come up with any effective solutions soon.

"Sure, do as you like.

Some precaution is better than none," Rachel added with an air of irony.

In the past, Rachel was willing to believe in Holley—she knew the woman to be a clever problem-

solver. However, after several failures, her respect for Holley faded away. It was hard to think that the

woman could even make the slightest difference.

Even though Holley could hear the scorn in Rachel's words, she didn't pay it any mind. As long as there

was a chance for her to reach her goal, whatever Rachel bore in her mind was none of her business.

Rachel and Holley assumed that they had their little victory. Meanwhile, Sheryl and Charles were faring

rather well.

After work, Charles called up his wife. "Sher, has Mom mentioned Leila recently?"

With such a hectic schedule lately, Sheryl didn't have much time to stay at Dream Garden. In her

absence, Sheryl and Melissa shared temporary peace from each other, even though Sheryl couldn't be

sure if it was for the best or not.

"These days, no. I barely spend time at home except to sleep. She doesn't have the chance to talk

about anything with me."

Sheryl's answer was quite straightforward, without any excuses.

"If she tells you anything, you must let me know. I will always be by your side to help you. But...I'm also Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

begging you. As long as Mom never mentions Leila again, please just let it go, okay?"

Sheryl couldn't remember how many times Charles had begged her to pardon Melissa, even when it

was crystal clear that Sheryl was never the issue.

The one who was always stuck at a disadvantage was Sheryl because Melissa disliked her—she was

the one who wanted Sheryl out of Dream Garden.

"Charles…I hope you know that it's not I who can't forgive her. She just wants to humiliate me over and

over again."

"I know. What about this? Sher, you wait for me and I'll pick you up from work. Then, we can pick up

Clark and Shirley from their kindergarten and have dinner together. Okay?"

Knowing that Sheryl was under a lot of pressure, he hoped to get her to unwind for a bit.

"Alright."

A thought came to Sheryl—the days that the four of them spent together were limited now that they had

no excuse to tell Melissa off. Eventually, they would have no choice but to leave.

"Great! Give me a minute. I'm heading for the underground garage. See you at the office soon."

It had been a while since the couple could spend some quality time with their kids, so Charles was glad

to see Sheryl on the same page.

"See you later."

With that, Sheryl hung up the phone.

When Charles arrived at the company, Sheryl was already waiting at the gate.

"Why did you step out so early? Isn't it hot outside?" he smiled and asked, rolling down the car window.

"It's hot, but it's almost time for Clark and Shirley to get off school.

I'm afraid we'll be late," she said as she got into the car.
