Chapter 527

Author: Tina Peach
Samantha greeted Rachel as though nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

"Rachel…"

Rachel and Cecilia froze at the sound of her name. Who else spoke in that saccharinely sweet tone? That voice was the stuff of nightmares!

Cecilia tugged at the hem of Rachel's shirt and whispered, "Why don't we pretend we heard nothing and just leave?"

Rachel shook her head at Cecilia. "It'll be fine."

She had already fallen out with William and Samantha, anyway. She wouldn't take any tricks from Samantha lying down.

She and Cecilia stopped in their tracks.

As Samantha approached Rachel, her gaze landed on the bags Cecilia was carrying. "Out for a shopping trip, Ms. Young? These don't look cheap."

"These aren't mine. They're Rachel's," Cecilia blurted out without much thought.

"Rachel's… They're for an elder, I suppose? But why have I been hearing about her cutting ties with the Lloyd family?"

Rachel arched a brow. She fully understood why people say that good news went on crutches, while

    Rachel couldn't exactly handle things on an empty stomach."I figured there wasn't much to tell you. Everything's already been taken care of."Cecilia instinctively asked, "So in that case, what about my job?""Don't be silly. I only cut ties with the Lloyd family, but I still have shares in Lloyd Enterprise. I'm still the largest shareholder. You've already joined the company, and Yvette doesn't have any real power in her hands. She can't touch you."Rachel had already thought through all of this. She wasn't acting blindly. Since she brought Cecilia into the company, she naturally planned to pave the way for her.Cecilia was overwhelmed with emotion again."Rachel, I don't know what I did in my past life to deserve someone like you. If it wasn't for you…" She could already imagine how hopeless her life would've been otherwise.Rachel heard footsteps coming down the stairs and caught sight of Tyler."Alright, let's talk later when I get back. I have to go.""Okay."She had

    "You look more like yourself today."Tyler sat up, grabbed a cigarette from the nightstand, lit it, and tapped the ash into the ashtray. Since he had just woken up, his voice sounded even deeper and huskier than usual.Rachel loved hearing him speak in this voice.She picked up a pearl earring and held it up in front of the mirror. "Your family probably doesn't like how I usually dress. For the sake of your reputation, I've got to at least pretend a little."If Tyler hadn't been treating her decently, she wouldn't even bother playing along.She firmly believed that if someone truly liked you, they would like you no matter what you wore or did. If they didn't like you, nothing you did would ever be good enough."You don't have to do that. Just be yourself," Tyler said casually.That surprised Rachel a little. Tyler was being unusually easygoing.Still, it was one thing for him to say that. What she actually had to do was another. Basic manners and etiquette still mattered. She d

    "Are you saying you feel everything more than I do?"Tyler let out a soft, husky chuckle. His chest vibrated subtly. Rachel could feel the strong beat of his heart through his shirt. The warmth from his body was nearly giving her a burn.She rolled her eyes and pinched him again."Tyler, you're seriously annoying. Why do you always say such things?""Well, you started it."Tyler never lost a fight.Rachel was so mad that she almost slapped him. She started struggling to push him away, but he didn't budge.So, she went straight for his weak spot. She pinched his nipples.Hiss.Tyler instinctively jerked back. Rachel grinned in triumph, flashing him a smug, teasing smile.Frowning, Tyler rubbed his chest. "Can you not pinch me like that?"Rachel wiggled in satisfaction. She was clearly proud of herself.Tyler got up and gave her a light pat on the head. "Hey, you said it yourself. We're a perfect match. I won't ever consider being with someone who's not an illegitimate chil

    Tyler raised his brows. "You really want to know?""Yeah, but if there's anything you're not comfortable saying, you don't have to."Rachel respected Tyler, especially when it came to family matters. Those often came with deep childhood scars.Tyler leaned back slightly. His fists clenched a little while he spoke."I'm basically the one person no one likes in the family. "You know how big families are. There can only be one at the top. Everyone wants that person to be their own kid. The problem is, no one else in the family is as capable as I am. Naturally, my relatives see me as a thorn in their side. My father used to pin all his hopes on my nephew, but that guy couldn't handle the company at all."So now he wants me to take over the family business, but he refuses to acknowledge me publicly."Rachel's ears perked up. She felt like she had just caught onto something important."He won't publicly acknowledge you?"For the first time, Rachel saw a complicated, almost desolate

    "Why did you start eating on your own? What about mine?""It's gone. I ate it all. I tried to wake you, but you wouldn't budge."Tyler had tolerated the slap from Rachel. There was no point bringing it up. What was he supposed to do, slap her back?Rachel's appetite had completely kicked in by now. "Did you finish my food? What am I supposed to eat?""Eat me."Tyler put down his chopsticks. With a completely serious face, he started unbuttoning his shirt, revealing his toned chest. He even asked her with a straight face, "So, where do you want to start?"Rachel shot him a look and cursed under her breath, "You're insane."Tyler intentionally tugged his collar open a little more, showing off even more skin. "Sure you don't want any?"Rachel rolled her eyes at him again. "I'm sure.""What a shame," Tyler said, buttoning his shirt back up with a regretful look.Rachel tossed off the covers. She was ready to get out of bed and find some food herself. She didn't believe Wanda woul

    Both Wanda and Tyler knew exactly what was going on. Right now, Thomas still didn't know that the girl Tyler was seeing was Rachel. If he found out, all hell would probably break loose.Tyler rubbed his temples. He couldn't shake the gloom in his eyes.He received a WhatsApp message from Jason.[Dude, tomorrow's your old man's birthday. It's been forever since the guys got together. Shouldn't we have a few drinks to celebrate?]The mere thought of tomorrow's scene made Tyler sneer.[Sure, as long as you can actually drink.]Jason quickly caught on and sent a shocked emoji. [Don't tell me you're bringing Rachel with you!]Tyler immediately fired back at that ridiculous reaction. [She's my girlfriend. Why wouldn't I bring her? Am I supposed to keep her hidden forever?]Jason sighed.[Couldn't you at least give them a heads-up first? Jumping straight into the deep end like this, are you sure your old man's heart can take it?]But Tyler looked like he couldn't care less. [He's t
