Chapter 206

"William," Rhea called out urgently, "don't go after Walter."

She hadn't expected William to catch her meeting with Walter today.

His expression was so dark, and he had even given orders to Bob. He was definitely planning to make things difficult for Walter.

The thought made Rhea anxious.

But she couldn't show it too obviously; she was afraid William would notice something was off.

This was a critical moment, and she couldn't ruin Walter's plans.

"Do you care about him that much?" William's brow furrowed.

Even though he knew the woman in front of him wasn't the real Christina, just an imposter who looked exactly like her, seeing her show concern for Walter made him particularly uncomfortable.

Rhea felt a moment of panic but quickly composed herself.

She retorted, "Who I care about or don't care about is my business. But you, following me around like I'm some pet dog, how could you do that?"

William didn't miss the subtle change in her expression.

An imposter would always be an imposter, never the real thing.

He was tired of dealing with her. "I'll have the driver take you home now. We'll talk about this tonight."

"Walter has helped me a lot. If you make things difficult for him, then don't bother talking to me anymore," Rhea said, mimicking Christina's tone based on what Walter had told her earlier.

After all, Christina never gave William a good face.

Saying this wouldn't make William suspicious; instead, it would make him try to appease her.

William's eyes narrowed.

Anyone who knew him well would recognize that he was already angry.

The imposter's repeated mimicry was pushing his limits.

But now wasn't the time to tear off the mask.

"Go home," William said, shutting the car door.

The driver immediately locked the door and hit the gas.

By the time Rhea realized what was happening, the car was already far away.

She anxiously looked back through the window. "Stop the car, I need to go back."

"Mrs. Cavendish, Mr. Cavendish has instructed me to take you home. Please don't make this difficult for me," the driver said, clearly not intending to listen to her.

He worked for the Cavendish family and took orders from William, so naturally, he followed William's instructions.

Rhea had no choice but to stay in the car, her heart filled with worry.

She was really afraid William would harm Walter.

Meanwhile, Walter watched as Rhea was taken away by William. Though he expressed dissatisfaction, his expression remained unchanged.

He didn't love Rhea at all; her fate was irrelevant to him.

If it weren't for the fact that Christina was in her hands and his desire to overthrow William, he wouldn't have bothered with Rhea at all.

Even though they were currently partners, once his goal was achieved and Christina was safely rescued, he would settle the score with Rhea.

She dared to mess with Christina; she wouldn't get away with it.

For now, Walter was just pretending.

He had to put on a show for Rhea and William.

Soon, William returned. Seeing him, Walter quickly spoke up, "I was the one who asked Christina to meet today. Don't make things difficult for her."

"Christina is my wife. I wouldn't make things difficult for her," William said coldly. "You've got a lot of nerve."

He truly hadn't expected Walter to collaborate with another woman and pull a switcheroo.

If he hadn't been suspicious, he might have fallen for their trick.

"The Cavendish Corporation is already yours. I'm not competing with you. Can't I meet with Christina as a friend? Don't forget, we've known each other for a long time!" Walter's tone was urgent and loud as he accused William.

But he sat on the couch in a very relaxed manner.

This alone made William certain that Walter knew everything, and it was very likely that Christina was with him.

But now wasn't the time to expose it.

"I'll say it again, Christina is my wife. Think carefully before you act. You still have parents."

Walter didn't take this threat seriously.

Now that William was in charge, the rest of the Cavendish family had to follow his lead. But if the plan succeeded and the company transferred to Walter, no one would care about William.

Even his own parents would be the same.

No one would stop him from being with Christina. Others might have strong opinions, but they'd have to keep them to themselves.

"William, don't threaten me. Nicholas hasn't been gone long. Do you really need to turn on your family?" Walter began to play the moral card.

Nicholas had indeed favored William.

But with so many family members, everyone was related to Nicholas, and his bottom line was family infighting.

William's eyes narrowed.

"And Christina, anyone can see she doesn't like you at all. Yet you force her to be with you," Walter continued to provoke him.

Bob, standing nearby, could hardly bear to listen.

Whatever happened between William and Christina was their business. Who was Walter to interfere?

Especially since Walter had always coveted William's wife.

"If you have the guts, kill me. I'll tell Nicholas in the afterlife what you've done. Otherwise, you better let Christina go. She's a living person, not a toy," Walter continued to provoke William.

He was also testing him.

He didn't know if someone as sharp as William had been fooled by Rhea.

But he was sure of one thing: as long as it was Christina, William would never let go.

William was also observing his micro-expressions.

After Walter left, Bob reluctantly approached. "Mr. Cavendish."

"Drive me home. I need to see Christina," William said, standing up.

He wanted to see what other tricks this imposter had up her sleeve.

Bob felt a headache coming on. What a mess!

Walter had provoked William for so long. If Christina said anything more when they got home, even William's patience would run out.

But William had given the order, so Bob had no choice but to comply.

Soon, Bob drove to the Cavendish family mansion, and William got out of the car.

As soon as he entered the house, the anxious Rhea ran over. She had tried to disguise her worry, but her concern still showed in her eyes.
