Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 825:

“Allan saved me when I was at my lowest. He gave me a new life, a career, and my dignity back. He’s kind, patient, and he respects me. He’s never tried to control me or take me for granted. With a man like that beside me, how could I not be moved?”

Brian’s hands clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. An unbearable tightness gripped his chest, making it hard to breathe.

Rachel took another step forward.

“What did you mean earlier about the divorce?”

Brian forced his voice to remain steady.

“You signed the divorce papers back then, but we never officially finalized it. Since you’re so certain about Allan, it’s time we make it official.”

“Why wait? Let’s do it today.”

Rachel’s tone was light, almost relieved, as if securing the divorce certificate would give her true peace of mind.

Brian pressed the intercom button.

“Ronald, bring it in.”

Ronald reappeared with the jewelry box, placing it in Brian’s hands.

Brian held it out to Rachel.

“A belated birthday gift. If you won’t accept it for that, then take it as a wedding gift. Either way, let’s finalize the divorce.”

Rachel’s lips curled into a smile.

“Thank you.”

As they made their way downstairs, the female manager from earlier stood waiting.

Rachel didn’t hold back. She strode forward, scanned the room, then turned to Brian.noveldrama

“Mr. White, I’d appreciate it if you managed your employees better. I don’t want to hear another word of gossip about me.”

The front desk manager had never imagined Rachel would bring Brian downstairs, let alone complain to him.

Brian’s cold gaze swept over the staff.

“Which rumors have you been spreading?”

The employees paled, scrambling to plead their innocence.

Rachel wasn’t interested in watching their panic.

“I’ll wait in the car,” she said simply, turning on her heel and walking away.

Moments later, the manager emerged from the building, clutching her things, tears streaking down her face.
