Chapter 429

Auteur: Tina Peach
The moment the call went through, Cassandra couldn't hold herself back and exploded.

"Samantha, are you bent on destroying our family?!"

Samantha, who had barely fled the scene, was now faced with Cassandra's harsh words. She felt even more indignant and frustrated.

When she first married into the Lewis family, Cassandra had treated her like a real daughter and gave in to her every whim and fancy.

Ever since she lost her baby, however, there was a massive shift in Cassandra's attitude toward her. Cassandra would mock her unprovoked and often compared her to Rachel.

Samantha had slowly gotten used to it, suppressing the indignation she felt each time.

"Mom, you really can't blame me. You had no idea that William was with Rachel last night. They were alone in the middle of the night, the audacity of them! Wouldn't it embarrass the Lewis family if word got out?"

Cassandra had the sudden urge to laugh.

"I might believe that if someone else said it, but hearing it from you only mak

    "Do you want the solution to this puzzle? Dream on!" Rachel said."You!" Yvette shrieked—she finally realized Rachel had been toying with her. Her expression darkened instantly.Rachel's expression grew cold as well. Her words were harsh and unfiltered, hitting Yvette like a volley of bullets."You said I had my eyes on Mr. Denzel, that I wanted to solve this puzzle just to spend the night with him. But aren't you the same? Putting on this holier-than-thou act when deep down, you're thinking the exact same thing. No one here is stupid, Yvette. There's no need to pretend. If you want something, then at least have the guts to fight for it on your own merit."Yvette was rendered speechless. Her cheeks flushed bright red as she stood there, stiff and embarrassed.She hadn't expected Rachel to humiliate her right in front of so many people with no mercy whatsoever.That was when Sasha stepped in to smooth things over."Alright now, sisters bicker from time to time. No need to get ups

    Yvette shot Rachel a vicious glare before walking up to the latter. Just moments ago, she was still fuming, but now her expression instantly shifted to one of delight, as if she were greeting an old friend.Putting on a fake smile, she looked at Rachel like they were the best of friends."Rachel, maybe you shouldn't get involved in this. You don't even know how to play shatranj. And besides, didn't Mr. Denzel just say earlier that whoever wins the match gets to spend the night with him? Don't tell me you want to…"She lowered her voice deliberately for the last part."But aren't you already seeing someone? If you do this, won't he mind?"The more innocent and considerate she tried to sound, the more it cast suspicion on Rachel's character.Yvette's comment immediately sparked a round of gossip among the crowd."She's Yvette's sister. If anyone knows the truth about her, it's her own family.""Exactly. I've heard rumors before. Wasn't she linked to Howard Ziegler and Mr. Hunt

    Jason couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.'Dude, you'll definitely thank me after tonight,' he thought.One of the women asked, "Mr. Denzel, is your friend here today too? We're just worried that if someone does manage to solve the puzzle, and the person who set it isn't around, things might get tricky.""Don't worry, he's here," Jason replied with a smirk.Soon, a few people stepped up to give it a try. But after making just a couple of moves, they realized the board remained deadlocked.The game went on for about half an hour. Everyone who knew how to play, and even those who didn't but thought they might have a chance, had already taken a turn.No one else stepped forward.Jason started to feel a little puzzled. Rachel had looked so serious while studying the board earlier. But now, she hadn't moved at all. There wasn't even a single reaction.'Did I just overestimate her?'Then again, it made sense. Even top players online hadn't been able to solve this. How could s

    Rachel couldn't be too sure, either. After all, she wasn't exactly an expert at shatranj."I can give it a try.""Alright, then. If you'd like to give it a shot, go ahead," Jason replied, treating her the same as everyone else so no one would think he was giving her special treatment."How about this? If anyone here can solve this shatranj problem, I'll agree to spend a night with them."The girls around them all widened their eyes in delight.They had been racking their brains trying to figure out how to get Jason's attention. Never did they expect him to throw out such a tempting offer this quickly!If they really could spend the night with Jason, that would practically mean they had won him over!After all, what else would men and women do alone at night?Everyone knew exactly what it implied.Although Jason didn't have any major scandals tied to his name, it was no secret that he frequented bars quite a bit. No matter how well a man carried himself, at the end of the day

    Jason didn't even glance at the women eagerly throwing themselves at him. Instead, he just asked them calmly, "Do any of you know how to play shatranj?"The women froze for a moment and exchanged glances."Shatranj?""I don't know how to play that.""Isn't that kind of old-fashioned? Something only old people play?""Exactly! My grandpa used to like it. Who even plays shatranj anymore?"It was unclear whether Jason genuinely had an interest in shatranj or if he was just using it as a polite way to drive these women away.Rachel hadn't stepped forward yet. She was standing a short distance away, quietly observing.Still, someone eventually took the bait."Mr. Denzel, could we take a look at the board?""Sure."Jason pulled out his phone, and the other women leaned closer to look as well."This board looks like someone stopped halfway through.""Yes, looks like it's headed toward a dead end. Basically, someone needs to try and turn the situation around."Some of the women m

    Rachel, not far away, nearly choked on her saliva when she overheard the conversation. When she looked at Yvette again, the latter's expression had grown darker.Yvette's thoughts were always easy to read. Earlier, the disdain on her face had made it very clear that she wasn't interested in Jacob.Honestly, who could blame her? Jacob was ten years older than her. On top of that, he was practically three times her size.When he smiled, he gave off a sleazy vibe.Even a couple of looks from him made Yvette feel like he was mentally undressing her.Still, not liking someone was one thing. But being disliked in return? That was another story altogether, especially when he compared her to Rachel. That was something Yvette just couldn't stomach.Her expression turned sour instantly."Mr. West, I can tell that you really like my sister. But you should know, she's divorced from Mr. Lewis. During that time, she's been getting involved with other men. You seriously don't mind?"But Jac
