Chapter 443 The Last Chance

"How about me? Have you completely forgotten what happened between us? Don't you think we need

to have a chat?" Rachel pushed Chris aside with all her strength and was just about to run, when

Edward blocked her only way out. She then realized it was impossible to leave as she saw Edward.

"Bitch!" Edward kept looking for her every where in the past few days to divorce her, but she was in

hiding to prevent such a scene. Therefore, they couldn't really get divorced until this very moment.

Edward couldn't contain his anger a moment longer after seeing Rachel. He slapped her hard across

her cheek.

Rachel felt hurt but knew there was no point to argue with him, she didn't have the courage to do so

either. She covered her face with shame and guilt as Edward restlessly stood across her.

"Why did you come out of your hiding hole? I should have thought you are omnipotent! So why do you

show up now huh?" Edward yelled out at Rachel seeking answers.

Rachel was speechless as she trembled from fear.

Chris frowned and said to Edward," Dad, please calm down. Don't forget that we have come here for a

more important thing."

After signing the divorce papers, they both could go back to being strangers. As for Edward, he could Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

not wait to finish all of this as soon as possible as he had waited for what seemed like a decade.

Edward finally recalled his sole motive to come here as he sneered at Rachel and said," Hurry up,

come to the Civil Affairs Bureau with me to finalize our divorce! I have prepared everything for our

divorce. Let's finish it today and we'll have nothing to do with each other anymore."

"No!" Rachel refused instinctively and said to Edward," I told you earlier and I'll say it again, that if you

want a divorce, you must accept my demands. If not, I will not sign on the agreement."

"You are so..." Edward was infuriated by Rachel and her nature, but he calmed himself and asked

Rachel immediately," Are you still coveting my wealth while you are in such a pathetic condition? You

must be dreaming!"

"Anyway, I said what I had to. If you don't fulfill my requirements, I simply won't divorce you." With a sly

smile Rachel added," Edward, I don't need to get divorced immediately. I lost everything so I don't care

if I am accused by someone else. But your case is different. Your daughter is getting married soon. If

anyone asks you questions about me at her wedding, I don't think it will be easy to speak out our

precarious little situation."

"Just shut your trap! I have had enough of you..." Edward was annoyed and was just about to slap her

again and Rachel anticipating his next move closed her eyes in fear. Chris held Edward back

immediately and said," Dad, stop! You will beat her to death if you don't stop."

Chris was right because violence can never solve any problems. Now what they should do was to

consider what to do next.

Edward was convinced and he put his hand down.

Rachel gave a cold smile. 'Edward will not dare to do anything to me, so he will agree on my

requirement as long as I remain adamant, ' she thought.

"Have you thought it through? If you decide not to agree to my terms, I will leave now." Rachel added,"

When you change your mind, you can come find me."

"Stop!" Chris stopped Rachel and said," We will not agree on your requirement, but we can reach a

settlement..."

Rachel cast a glance of contempt at Chris and asked," What do you mean?"

"Miss Bai, we can't agree to your demands, but instead I can give you a sum of money. You should go

abroad but you need to promise not to come back ever. Can you accept these conditions?" Chris said

to Rachel.

Edward frowned and said to Chris," You know I won't give her any money not even a single penny. Just

let me do it my way, Chris. I'll make her divorce me even if I have to drag her to court."

"Dad, just calm down and let me handle it!" Chris gripped Edward's arm tightly and turned back to face

Rachel. "Look! If you don't agree to my deal, you will not get anything! Miss Bai, I don't have too much

time on my hands so you'd better reply as soon as possible."

Rachel hesitated for a long time and finally agreed after realizing that something was better than

nothing. She then said," Yes. But the amount you give me must meet my satisfaction."

"Fifty thousand and it simply can't be more." Chris added," Miss Bai, you are not a big celebrity

anymore, so staying here will only depress you. Taking this money and starting a new life abroad is the

best choice for you. I strongly advise you to take it..."

"Only fifty thousand? Do you think I am a beggar? I may not be a big star anymore but I know my

worth." Rachel sneered and continued," Miss Lu, I won't accept your deal if you don't show your

sincerity. Let's just wait and see who is the last one standing."

She didn't care about the accusation from others if she didn't divorce, but she very well knew Edward

did.

Chris smile and said," Fine. I won't try to persuade you if you have already made your decision. But I

will remind you, Miss Bai, that you won't get any money from my father. Let's see how long you live on

without any source of income."

She continued," I sincerely hope that you don't starve to death, or else we won't be able to help our

laughter even in dreams." Chris' words were harsh to ears and Rachel's face dimmed as she heard

that. She then discretely looked at Edward.

This man once deeply loved and treasured her but she destroyed her happiness and future all by

herself.

She once had a chance to live a rich and comfortable life. But now she had screwed it all. She

regretted what she had done and if she could have a chance to go back in time and change everything,

she would.

After living with Edward for some time, she understood that the thing Edward couldn't tolerate the most

was being betrayed. After all Edward did show her mercy by not killing her after knowing what she had

done to him. Now she knew it was impossible to ask him for money.

He said that he wouldn't give her money and he meant it. Rachel too knew it clearly.

This fifty thousand might as well be her last chance.

She kept hesitating because the suggestion of going abroad seemed so attractive and alluring, but fifty

thousand was far from enough to sustain her lifestyle.

Rachel cast a glance at Chris and said," I want one million. Moreover, book the air ticket to go abroad

and then I'll divorce him immediately."
