Chapter 286

Author: Tina Peach
Rachel was suddenly flooded by memories she had long tried to forget.

She was a freshman in college when it happened. Someone had deliberately set a fire and locked her inside. She had almost made it out, but the windows had been sealed shut. There had been no way to escape.

No one outside had dared to come in, and the fire department hadn't arrived.

It was the first time she that came face to face with death. That feeling of sheer terror was something she still remembered.

Just as she had been on the verge of losing consciousness, a familiar figure had appeared through the flames. She had recognized its silhouette and height.

'It's William, isn't it?'

When she woke up afterward, the first person she saw had also been William.

Her classmates also told her it was William who saved her. She had no reason to doubt it. But from what Jim said, it sounded like he knew that William hadn't been her saviour.

Who was it then?

If William hadn't been the one who rescued her, why did he c

    Although Yvette didn't know Tyler all that well, she knew influential people like him were usually particular about cleanliness."It's fine," Tyler said bluntly. "Just have one of the maids show me the way."Yvette's smile froze in embarrassment, but this wasn't the time to be self-conscious. Relationships had to be cultivated, especially when she and Tyler were practically strangers. It was normal for him to feel distant.She quickly forced a smile again. "Mr. Hunt, the maids probably don't know where the clothes are. It'll be much easier if I take you myself."Sasha chimed in. "She's right, Mr. Hunt. The maids still have things to take care of. Yvette has time. Let her take you upstairs."With both of them pushing, Tyler figured there was no polite way to refuse anymore. "Alright then. Thanks, Yvette." His voice was still detached and impersonal.Yvette quickly led him up the stairs. She was eager to stay by his side.Just as the two disappeared upstairs, William walked back

    Just as Tyler was about to swing again, Jim stepped in and stopped him."Tyler, today is the day Rachel's mother comes home. Let it go."Tyler paused for a moment before finally relenting. He glared at Howard. "Howard, do you want me to drag you out, or are you walking out on your own? Pick one."Howard's body was still twitching from the kick and the punch he'd taken. He knew when to retreat. It was more important to live to fight another day. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shot Tyler a warning, resentful glare."You're the boldest bastard in all of Yurelia City, Tyler. Just wait. We're not done."Tyler tilted his chin with a smirk of pure disdain. "I'm not going anywhere. Try me anytime."Howard staggered to his feet and started limping toward the door. Jim, knowing Howard wasn't someone they could afford to offend, quickly approached him."Let me have the driver take you home."Howard scoffed and waved him off. "Save it."Once Howard was gone, Sasha rus

    Rachel had always known Howard had thick skin. Aside from coming from a powerful family with plenty of people backing him, the guy had zero decency. He was basically a rich, arrogant lowlife.Truth be told, she really had no way to deal with him. As a woman, she wasn't strong enough to take him on physically. The Lloyd family didn't dare cross him either.That didn't mean she was going to let this slide.With Howard standing there, smug and untouchable, practically radiating that cocky thug energy, Rachel wanted nothing more than to slap that grin right off his face.Seeing no one dared to say a word, Howard got even more brazen."Rachel, you really ought to think about marrying me. Just imagine, we'd be family, and the Lloyds would rise right up with the Zieglers. Sounds like a win-win, doesn't it?"This time, Rachel didn't hold back. She spat on the ground. "Howard, you really think just because the Ziegler family runs wild in Yurelia City that every woman wants to marry you? L

    Just as Rachel's palm was about to land on Howard's face, Jim's hand shot out to grab her wrist.Rachel was shaking with fury. Usually calm and easygoing, she was ready to strike. It was like every sharp edge she had was suddenly out in full force.Jim looked at her and said, "Rachel, calm down. Mr. Ziegler was just joking."Rachel's eyes were bloodshot, and her lips trembled with fury. She shot Jim a sharp glance. "Joke or not, I won't let anyone insult my mother."Yvette, shocked to see Rachel actually lash out, didn't dare step forward. She whispered to Sasha beside her, "Has Rachel lost her mind? She actually answered back to Howard. Does she even realize what she's doing? If we offend him, our whole family's finished."Sasha knew that if Howard got angry and complained to Gerald, the entire Lloyd family could be wiped out. The good days she'd finally started to enjoy would all be destroyed by Rachel.She tightened the shawl around her shoulders and quickly stepped forward. S

    William yanked Howard up by the collar, but instead of backing off, Howard even leaned in a little closer to provoke William deliberately.No matter how furious William was, there was nothing he could do to Howard. The Lewis family simply couldn't compete with the Ziegler family.That was when Jim stepped in. He pulled William back and tried to smooth things over."William, let go. Howard was just joking around."William glared at Howard with barely restrained rage before finally releasing him. He turned to Rachel and signed, "Don't take what he said to heart. It's not true."Rachel didn't speak this time. Instead, she began signing back. "What did he say? He spoke too fast. I couldn't catch it."William saw what she meant, and his expression relaxed slightly. "It was nothing. Just a stupid joke.""I see." Rachel nodded calmly. The truth was, she'd understood perfectly well what Howard had said. She just didn't want to embarrass anyone.As for whatever William was doing outside
