Chapter 464

Author: Tina Peach
"Name your price," Wilma said haughtily.

Rachel raised an open palm. "Five hundred million."

Wilma choked, looking in disbelief at Rachel, who now wore a faint smile.

"You must be out of your mind! Five hundred million? Do you think you're made of gold? How dare you ask for such an astronomical amount?! For someone like you, two hundred thousand dollars is considered a good deal!"

Rachel crossed her arms across her chest and looked disdainfully at Wilma.

"Oh, so you can't afford that price. Well, what are you still doing here? Come find me when you can fork out five hundred million."

All of a sudden, Wilma felt played for a fool. Her mask of civility fell apart; she pointed angrily at Rachel and shrieked, "You filthy hussy! I took you seriously, and you took me for a fool!"

Rachel was not surprised to see Wilma raise a hand to strike her. She was all prepared—not to brace herself for the slap, but to counterattack.

Right before Wilma's hand landed on Rachel's cheek, Ray rushe

    "That's why we called him over today," Gerald finished. Howard chimed in, "Mr. Lloyd, Mrs. Lloyd, don't worry. I've fancied Ms. Lloyd for a long time. I'll surely treat her well as my wife. As for the betrothal gifts, feel free to raise your request. We won't shortchange her at all."His mention of betrothal gifts widened the smile on Sasha's face."Just listen to how sincere Mr. Ziegler is! He's worlds apart from Mr. West's younger brother with his nose stuck up in the air, as if he's all that."Instead of flaring up at Sasha, Rachel looked at her with narrowed eyes and said with a bright smile that didn't reach her eyes, "Since you think Mr. Ziegler is so amazing, why don't you divorce my dad and marry him instead?""How audacious! Rachel, how dare you talk to us like that when we raised you so painstakingly?" Gerald berated.Sasha grabbed Rachel's hand and said comfortingly, "Rachel, I don't care what you say about me, but your grandpa's health has been ailing for the past fe

    Rachel's brows furrowed in disgust."What are you doing here?""For something important, of course," Howard said with a wicked sneer.Rachel instinctively turned to glance at Sasha and Gerald.Did she have anything to do with Howard's appearance here?There was a tension in the air as Sasha stepped forward, trying to smooth things over."Rachel, since you're back, why don't you eat something before you leave? We still need to talk about your dad."Rachel's face grew cold, clearly unwilling to stay any longer. "We can talk about my dad another day."She made a move to leave.However, Sasha hurriedly held her back. "Rachel, you know that your dad is in a worse condition than we all thought. We're the only ones left in the family now. No matter how much you dislike us, we should really talk things through regarding your father."Rachel was hesitant. She didn't want to see Howard, but she also knew that the more she avoided him, the more he would stick around like an annoying,

    This time, it was different. In the past, Rachel had always entered this house as an adopted daughter. But now, she had returned as Jim's biological child.The only difference was that she was a child born out of wedlock.A maid at the door came out and saw Rachel, immediately beaming with joy as she greeted her."Ms. Rachel is back! Ms. Rachel is back!"The rest of the maids poured out behind her.Rachel forced a smile. If she didn't know anyone else, she at least knew these people.They were opportunistic and unfaithful. They were only rushing over now because she had suddenly bounced back, and her identity was once again of value.She didn't bother putting on a pleasant act for them. She walked past them without a glance, her tone indifferent as she asked, "Where's Grandpa?"One of them quickly replied, "Mr. Gerald is already waiting for you in the living room."Rachel entered the living room and saw an elderly man with white hair seated at the head.Five years had passed

    Rachel had been going nonstop all morning, and she was starting to feel the exhaustion settle in. She leaned back into her chair to rest for a moment."You pick the place," she said."Moon & Barrel."Rachel was speechless. He chose that ridiculously overpriced place again!Tyler noticed her silence and asked, "What's wrong, Rachel? Can't bear to spend the money?"Rachel didn't dare say that. No matter how reluctant she felt, now wasn't the time to be stingy. If she messed this up, the project would fall through."You pick the time. Today?""No time like the present.""Fine, after work—"Before Rachel could finish her sentence, her phone buzzed again. This time, it was a message from Yvette.[Grandpa wants everyone home tonight for dinner. He wants to discuss Dad's condition.]Rachel scoffed sarcastically.Someone finally showed concern for Jim's condition.She continued speaking to Tyler. "Sorry, Yvette just messaged. My grandpa asked everyone to go back tonight. He wants

    Suddenly, everything ramped up. Over the past few days, Cecilia had taken the time to look into the state of Lloyd Enterprise before the recent shake-up.Back when Yvette was in charge, the entire company operated like a punch-the-clock kind of place. Everyone just showed up, did the bare minimum, and left. There was barely any work to be done. Most of the company was just coasting off its past glory.The upside included easy work, nine-to-five hours, never any overtime, and zero performance pressure. After all, when the deputy CEO herself was just taking up space, how could she expect her employees to land big projects?Rachel, however, wasn't the least bit concerned. She asked Cecilia a simple question."Do you really think anyone in this world would turn down money?"Cecilia shook her head without hesitation. "Not a chance.""Exactly. Go ahead and distribute these. Trust me, once they see those bonuses, they'll put in the effort. You know why people in those corporate jobs a

    The meaning behind all this was already crystal clear. They were basically stripping Yvette of all her authority.What use was the title of deputy CEO if it came with no real power?!Yvette knew this, too. Even if Rachel didn't demote her or kick her out of the company, it wouldn't make a difference. She was now completely sidelined. She had no say in project matters, and even less in financial ones.With no other options, Yvette turned to Gary for help. She walked over and clutched his hand, pleading."Mr. Summers, have you forgotten what my dad asked of you? He told you to take good care of me. You can't just stand by and let them treat me like this!"Gary shook his head. "Ms. Yvette, your father did ask me to look after you, but that only applies if you're actually trying to do something good for the company, not if you're…"He sighed heavily, clearly disappointed, and gave a dismissive wave."This ends here. When you start contributing to the company the way your sister does
