Chapter 393

Author: Tina Peach
If Rachel hadn't seen Howard with her own eyes, she might have completely forgotten about him.

At first, Howard only noticed Tyler. But as he walked closer, he spotted Rachel.

A cigarette dangled from Howard's lips. He wore a black shirt with the collar flung open carelessly, revealing his collarbone, a prominent Adam's apple, and sharp jawlines. Through the haze of smoke, his playful gaze locked onto her.

"Tsk, tsk. If it isn't Rachel? Five years gone and you've blossomed. You're different now. Classier. Prettier, too."

Rachel's expression remained cold. She hadn't given Howard the time of day five years ago, and she sure wasn't about to now.

She lowered her head and sipped her coffee without even sparing him a glance.

As for Tyler, who was seated across from her, he didn't even look at Howard.

Howard didn't feel the least bit awkward. Instead, he strolled right up to Rachel and reached out to touch her cheek.

"Come on now, Rachel. Don't tell me you've forgotten everything, li

    Things were different now. Her time with the company was up, so there was no reason for them to keep hiding her personal information.At this point, if Tyler wanted to investigate, it would be child's play.Rachel thought about her current contract. It wasn't complete yet. Not acknowledging the message might come off as impolite. Besides, Tyler was sitting right beside her. There was no room to refuse anyway.After weighing her options, Rachel decided to avoid trouble and acknowledged it.A moment later, a transfer notification popped up on her screen.Rachel glanced at the amount. It was ten thousand!She turned to Tyler and reminded him, "This shampoo isn't that expensive."The money he sent was enough to buy at least ten bottles of it.Tyler waved it off casually. "Then use the rest to buy whatever you need. Personal care products or whatever."Rachel's guard instantly went up. She looked at him warily. "Do I still need to stay overnight at your place?"Tyler responded mat

    Rachel instinctively took a step back as Tyler leaned in."It's not your card anyway, Mr. Hunt. So I don't see how it's any of your business."She was genuinely confused. Tyler wasn't the type to stick his nose where it didn't belong.But his next words cleared that up.His eyes bore into her. "Do you really think I'd keep someone with a suspicious background around me?"Rachel's eyes lit up. "Does that mean you're planning to replace me?"Their eyes met again. His gaze was now blank. Gone were the emotions from before."Rachel, why are you in such a hurry to distance yourself from me? Or is this just how people from the Lloyd family operate, burning bridges once they've crossed them?"Rachel pouted slightly. The intense stare sent a chill down her spine. She turned her face away instinctively, only for Tyler to grab her chin and force her to meet his eyes."What's the matter? Feeling guilty?"She was caught off guard by the direct eye contact. Staring into the dark, unreadabl

    Cecilia originally thought Rachel had spent the past five years on a journey of healing. After all, the pain William and Samantha caused her had been overwhelming.But now, it seemed that those years weren't just about healing. Rachel must've gone through a lot more than anyone realized.Rachel didn't explain much to Cecilia. After all, some things were better left unsaid, especially to someone not directly involved."Found it on the road," she replied casually."Huh? What kind of luck is that? That card is insanely prestigious, not to mention globally limited. The person who lost it must be freaking out!"Cecilia was clearly shocked by the answer, but she still believed Rachel.Rachel made up a story on the spot. "Maybe they're just too rich. Probably have a bunch of them and didn't even notice one was missing.""True, but to be that rich, that's next level. Imagine casually losing a globally limited card like it's nothing."Tyler leaned against the car door. He picked up on R

    Wasn't that a globally limited-edition Centurion Card? Liana had worked at this restaurant for years, and had never seen a Centurion Card before.The card wasn't something just any rich or powerful person could get their hands on. To own one, the power and connections behind you had to be unimaginably strong. Even the prestigious Lewis family didn't have one.Who exactly was this woman? How on earth did she get that card?Rachel noticed Liana frozen in place. She tapped her fingers lightly on the counter to snap her back to reality."Didn't you want me to pay?"There was no way Liana dared to go through with the charge now. If she did, she might never find another job in Yurelia City.Her expression changed instantly; she forced a smile and began apologizing profusely."I'm so sorry, Ms. Lloyd. This was entirely my fault. I wasn't being responsible. I didn't take my job seriously enough. Please, I'm begging you, forgive me. You have to understand, people like me working these

    Yale instinctively stood up. "What's going on? Let's go check."If Rachel ended up being mistreated, Tyler would definitely hold him responsible.Cecilia and Yale quickly made their way to the front desk.Meanwhile, Rachel was in the middle of confronting Wilson. "You're the manager here, right? Please check the surveillance footage. Your staff clearly didn't serve caviar or lobster, but they're insisting we ate them.""My sincerest apologies, Ms. Lloyd. We'll check right away."Liana, overhearing this, looked at Wilson in surprise. "Mr. Woods, you…""Do you even know who she is? And you still dared to provoke her?"Liana was stunned for a moment. "She's just here for a meal. What, is she some big shot or something?"Even now, Liana still looked down on Rachel. Her eyes were filled with disdain.After all, in a place like this, customers never argued over a dish or two. In fact, most were so concerned about appearances that they would rather pay extra than lose face by compl

    The waiter came over and tried to usher Rachel to the side."Excuse me, miss, please step aside for a moment."Rachel wasn't the type to make a fuss over small things, but the cashier's attitude ticked her off.Seeing the waiter approaching, clearly intending to grab her, Rachel's voice rang out with unmistakable authority."Don't touch me!"The waiter met Rachel's eyes and, for some reason, felt an inexplicable chill. He didn't dare lay a finger on her.From the corner of her eye, Rachel saw the rude cashier from earlier rolling her eyes again, and that was the final straw. Rage surged through her.She stepped forward, ready to confront the cashier."If you keep this up, I'll have no choice but to call the police!" the waiter warned, trying to stop her. But Rachel's imposing aura made him flinch, and he instinctively stepped aside.Rachel strode straight up to the cashier."If you really think I'm lying, then call your manager. Let's check with the kitchen. See if those dish
