Chapter 6 

Elsie knelt before me, tears streaming down her face

Rachel, he’s telling the truth. Everyone in our circle knows I’ve been chasing Troy since we were kids, and he’s always rejected me. This time, I did use your business to coerce him.” 

Do you two think the issue is him washing your feet?” 

I sneered, pushing Troy away

Troy, we’ve been married for years, and you’ve always said I don’t belong in your circle. You never allowed me to attend your gatherings, and when I wanted to hold a wedding ceremony, you refused. You claimed it was to spare me embarrassment, but wasn’t it really because you felt ashamed of my background?” 

Rachel, no, that’s not it!” 

You don’t know how toxic this circle is. They’re always looking down on others, acting superior. You’re my everything, and I didn’t want you to face their scorn, so I kept you away.” 

But I never imagined you’d become someone who could control their businesses. If I’d known” 

I cut him off with a wave of my hand

You didn’t know because you never believed I was capable. You never bothered to understand how- big my business had become or look into my connections. If you had, you’d have realized that the people in your circle have no right to humiliate me.” 

I laughed bitterly. Troy, do you know what it feels like to be looked down on by the man you love?” 

It’s

my 

faultall my fault. I’ll change, I swear. Just give me another chance.” 

Please, Rachel. You know I can’t live without you.” 

Troy was already a sobbing mess

waved him off. There’s nothing more to say. Let’s finalize the divorce quickly.” 

Troy stood up without a word and walked into the kitchen. When he returned, he was holding

knife

He placed his left hand on the coffee table and raised the knife with his right

dirtied my hand washing Elsie’s feet. I’ll cut it off, okay? Whatever it takes for you to forgive me!” 

With that, he swung the knife down

I quickly pushed him aside and wrestled the knife away

Pointing at him, I said, You’re just like the rest of them. They thought I couldn’t possibly be the owner of Swift Manor because of my humble origins, and so did you. But I am. Do you know what that means? It means our values are fundamentally incompatible.” 

I’ll admit to anything, and I’ll change. But I won’t agree to a divorce. If you force me, I’ll die.” 

Troy shouted hysterically

At that moment, the security guards entered the apartment

I pointed to Elsie. Throw her out!” 

As for Troy, I was genuinely afraid he’d harm himself, so I let him stayfor now

Although I let Troy Kayden stay, I gave him no opportunity to speak with me

The next morning, I woke up to find him asleep on the sofa

. I didn’t want to get entangled with him anymore, so I quietly left the apartment

When I arrived at the office, Ricky handed me a tablet and said, Ms. Swift, someone’s trying to slander you.” 

I took a look and almost laughed out loud

I was trending on social media with headlines that were as ridiculous as they were sensational

felt a headache coming on. It didn’t take much to figure out this was Elsie Allson’s counterattack

Just then, there was a knock on my office door

Elsie walked in with a smug smile

Rachel, the Johnson family in the Capital City may be backing you, but if Troy comes forward and accuses you of infidelity, it’ll still damage your reputation. I’ve been close to Troy since childhood, and now that you’ve broken his heart, do you think he’ll refuse to help me?” 

State your terms,I replied with a smile

Elsie sat on the sofa, her tone casual

I know you’re close with a few elites in the Capital City. I’ve taken an interest in a pharmaceutical project there. Help me secure it, and I’ll stop bothering you.” 

Sure.” 

I nodded. You can leave now. Someone will contact you this afternoon.” 

Elsie looked at me intently before standing up. I’ll give you one day.” 

After she left, I asked Ricky to step out, then made a few calls
