Chapter: 869

Hearing this, Rachel looked down and casually flipped through the invoices in her hand.

"Sort these out and give them to him when he's ready to leave. He's a grown man. He should be paying his bills himself."

Even though Andy was well aware of Rachel's hatred for Jack, he didn't expect her to be so cold.

"If he's out of money, tell him to liquidate his shares. If my memory serves me right, he still owns three percent of the Bennet

Group's share capital. That should be more than enough to pay for his medical bills."

"Ah, yes. Jack should probably still have some." Three percent might sound like an insignificant amount. But since the Bennet Group was so wealthy, it was enough for Jack to live a decent life for the past four years.

In order to disempower the senior board of directors, Rachel sneakily reshuffled the company shares four years ago. This allowed Victor to become the majority shareholder, while Quintin kept his place at second.

Unfortunately, such a large change in the company entailed some unfavorable consequences, mainly Jack becoming the third-largest shareholder of the Bennet Group.

The Bennet Group's former majority shareholder refused to do anything that wouldn't generate money for the company. Second on the pecking order was Quintin, a man who wouldn't even show up to shareholder meetings. Because of this, the senior board of directors turned to

Jack for leadership, hoping he would become the CEO someday.

At first, everything went well for Jack. But due to his gambling problem, his life quickly went on a downward spiral. He gradually lost all his money, including his shares, at the casino. He borrowed a hefty sum of money to try and win it all back. But that just made things worse. When the debt collectors came knocking on his door, he and his wife quickly went into hiding. The stress of being constantly on the move took its toll on Caroline's psyche. So when Alice disappeared, she couldn't bear to be with him anymore, leading to their divorce.

This was why Jack, a formerly esteemed gentleman, was sharing an apartment in the most remote area of Apliaria. It took four long years for the board of directors to give up on Jack. But when it finally happened, they immediately stopped helping him, causing

Jack's life to get even worse than it already was.

Anyone who knew Jack probably wouldn't believe that he was living a miserable life unless they saw it with their own eyes.

Ding!

On the way down, the elevator stopped at the third floor.

When the elevator doors opened, Rachel subconsciously looked up and saw a familiar face standing right in front of her.

“Lukas ?"

Lukas was surprised to see Rachel.

“Miss Bennet, long time no see!"

He knew that she had come back and this was the first time they met.

Seeing Rachel unharmed and standing in front of him, Lukas felt surreal. Although four years had passed and Rachel seemed to have changed, it somehow felt nothing had changed.

"Yes, it has been a long time." Rachel smiled as she moved a bit to let Lukas in.

Lukas was more or less aware of what had happened between Rachel and

Victor after she came back. He was also aware that she hated Victor.
