Chapter 192

Author: Tina Peach
When Cassandra heard that someone had invited Rachel out for dinner, her narrowed eyes instantly filled with suspicion.

"Which friend? It's not Tyler, is it?" she asked.

Rachel's hand froze slightly in the middle of grabbing her bag, but she didn't respond. She wasn't facing Cassandra. Instead she simply walked straight toward the door as if she hadn't heard anything.

Fury surged across Cassandra's face. She stood abruptly and pointed a trembling finger at Rachel's back. "Rachel, stop right there!"

Rachel didn't even pause. She just walked right out.

Cassandra's entire body trembled with anger. "This is outrageous! She has absolutely no respect for me!"

"Madam, don't forget, she can read lips, but she can't hear," Mrs. Jones said.

That snapped Cassandra back for a moment, but the anger was still there.

"Just the sight of her irritates me. Who does she think she is? She used to have the Lloyd family backing her, but now? She's not even their biological daughter."

She turned tow

    Rachel just found it funny. "I couldn't afford to do that even if I wanted to."Never mind the fact that Tyler clearly came from money, his unpredictable nature alone was enough. Who would dare try to be his sugar mommy?Doing that would be like bringing an untamed beast home. You never knew when it might turn around and bite you.Just then, there was a knock on the door.Rachel turned around and saw Tyler's assistant, Tim, walk in."Mr. Hunt, the things you asked for have been delivered." Tim set a bag of fresh clothes on the nightstand. Tyler gestured toward a white box on top. "That's yours," he said to Rachel. "Go change in the bathroom. Wash your face while you're at it. You look awful."The first half of that sentence sounded fine, but the second half made Rachel's brows furrow instantly.She instinctively raised a hand to her face. "Is it that bad?""Go look in the mirror."Tyler looked away and slowly started pulling clothes out of the bag.Rachel didn't argue. She

    Rachel instinctively raised her hand to wipe at the corner of her eye. Sure enough, her hand came away damp. She had cried without even realizing it.But Rachel was proud. If she admitted it, Tyler would definitely tease her about it.So she kept up the act. "I didn't cry. Some dust just got into my eyes.""Oh? You sure it wasn't your eyes that got into the dust?""Huh?" Rachel froze for a second, actually doubting if she'd said it wrong. Then she realized that Tyler was messing with her.Seeing her lost expression, Tyler chuckled. "Looks like you've been scared silly."Rachel bit her lip in embarrassment. "I've never experienced something like that before. Being scared is normal. But I wasn't scared that bad."Tyler only laughed again. "I'll have Tim take you home. This late at night, even if William wasn't worried before, he's probably starting to panic now."But Rachel didn't plan on going home. If anything, she wished she could stay out for the next few days, right up until

    Just as Tyler finished speaking, he grabbed a broken stick from the ground and charged at the man. Rachel watched, her heart pounding.She looked around frantically, hoping to find something that could be used as a weapon. She spotted a trash can lid. It couldn't exactly be used as a weapon.Meanwhile, Tyler and the man had gotten into a full-on brawl. Tyler had swiftly taken the advantage. Rachel stood frozen. She was stunned by what she saw.She had never imagined Tyler could fight like that. Every punch he threw landed right on target.One strike and the man crumpled to the ground and curled up in pain. Sweat poured down his forehead, his face pale.Rachel rushed forward and grabbed Tyler's arm. "Let's go!"They turned to leave, but didn't notice the man scramble to his feet. He pulled a knife from his coat and charged at them.Tyler barely caught the motion in the corner of his eye. By the time he turned, the blade was already heading straight for Rachel.Without a second

    The man yanked Rachel toward him again, but Tyler had no patience to waste here. Without hesitation, he pulled Rachel behind him and landed a punch squarely on the man's jaw.The man clutched his face in pain, his temper flaring. "Alright, you wanna play tough? Fine!"He swung a fist straight at Tyler's face. Tyler's eyes narrowed. He grabbed Rachel and quickly stepped aside.The punch missed its mark.He took the chance to shout, "Run!"The alcohol had finally worn off for Rachel, though she was still a little woozy. She looked at Tyler in panic."If I leave, what'll happen to you?"Tyler clicked his tongue. "Can't bear to leave me now?"Rachel nearly rolled her eyes. He still had time to joke at a time like this. She turned and glanced around. "Come with me!"She grabbed Tyler's hand, slipped off her heels, and ran barefoot toward the back exit.Tyler looked down at her fair, slender fingers in his grasp. She felt so strong despite how delicate she looked.A memory, long b

    Tyler's attitude made it seem like the kiss didn't even mean anything, but the black suit he wore added a sense of seriousness to the situation.Rachel often felt like Tyler had several personalities living inside him. She could never figure out what this man was really thinking.Under the dim, hazy light above her, Rachel quietly studied him. She knew full well that trying to play mind games with someone like him was basically suicide.She awkwardly looked away."Just take that as me returning the favor. Don't bring it up again."She once again reminded herself that this was the last time they'd see each other. She needed to cut all ties with him.Tyler looked up. "Giving up that easily?"Rachel clenched her fists. It somehow felt like she was being challenged. She suddenly turned and looked at him slyly. "What, are you hoping I'll kiss you?"Tyler gave her a look that was impossible to read. "Either way works for me."Rachel pouted. "Not interested."This man acted like he

    "Yeah, what a shame. I thought he'd go for someone mature like you. Never thought he'd like the plain and bland type."Rachel instinctively looked down at herself. 'Plain and bland–' She didn't think she looked that bad. They had to be exaggerating."Hey, how long are you planning to sit there? My legs are going numb," Tyler said softly by her ear.Rachel quickly got off his lap. Somehow, it felt like Tyler was mocking her."I'm not even that heavy."She was slightly over one hundred and seventy pounds. That was hardly heavy."Oh, really?" Tyler's tone was nonchalant as his eyes slowly scanned her body like he was inspecting her.Rachel pouted and didn't feel like talking to him anymore. Ever since he had left her to fend for herself at the villa, she had decided to keep her distance. This drink was just to repay a favor and nothing more.She lowered her head and took a sip of her drink.It was sweet and didn't have the usual harsh burn of alcohol. Her brows relaxed. This was
