Samantha soon realized something."If Rachel ended up with Mr. Hunt, and word goes out… What…what should we…?"What Samantha brought up was precisely what William was worried about. It had been a thorn in his chest all this time. It was also why he had been trying to stop Rachel from being with Tyler.He couldn't afford to be embarrassed this way—the Lewis family couldn't afford to be embarrassed this way!After leaving the police station, William and Samantha got in the car. William couldn't hold himself back from calling Rachel.Rachel texted back. [I'm at Cecilia's. We can talk tomorrow.]Before William could reply to her, she sent another text. [You went to Mr. Hunt's house today?]Her sudden question bewildered William.He couldn't possibly tell Rachel that Samantha informed him of seeing her heading to Tyler's house, which made him suspect that they were alone there. What made things worse was that they eventually found Yvette instead of Rachel.William could only text b

Sasha was rendered speechless. She didn't expect Rachel to suddenly bring this up.Rachel wasn't sure if Yvette understood what she was getting at, but the look on Yvette's face changed.Sasha noticed it as well and dragged Yvette over."Yvette, tell Rachel whether you like Mr. Hunt or not."Without a second thought, Yvette blurted out, "Of course I do! He's so handsome, who wouldn't like him? I'm sure you can't find a woman in the whole of Yurelia who doesn't fancy him."Rachel pursed her lips. "Says who? I don't like him."Tyler had a sharp tongue that even Rachel found hard to handle, not to mention Yvette with her fragile ego.Rachel wasn't joking—Yvette would probably break down in tears with just a few harsh words from him.Yvette, however, clearly didn't believe Rachel's claim."Rachel, we're family. Why bother putting up a front before me? If you don't like Mr. Hunt, why did you sneak into his house behind William's back? Mr. Hunt was just done with his shower. What we

One thing Rachel was in awe of Sasha for was her ability to stab another in the back. Her attacks were always sneaky and never aboveboard.Yet, Sasha could pretend to treat her enemy as her daughter in the public eye.Rachel knew clearly how much Sasha detested her mother, Melanie. Yet, Sasha would still encourage them to pay their respects to Melanie and say things like how she always saw Melanie as a dear sister.From what Rachel remembered, however, Sasha had always tried to hurt Melanie behind her back. Sasha would look friendly and helpful on the surface, but seduce Jim without Melanie knowing. They walked to the door, but the sudden arrival of an unexpected guest gave them a rude shock.The man was dressed in a black suit, his hair combed back neatly, which added a stern yet aggressive edge to his usual chilly demeanour and accentuated his sharp facial features.His deep, dark gaze swept across everyone in the room before he said respectfully, "Mr. Lewis, I came here to pa

At that moment, Rachel had a strong urge to kick Tyler out. She knew how much he liked seeing others get embarrassed. He loved seeing the world burn.The gears in her mind shifted quickly, and found the perfect excuse."Dad, it's like this. I bumped into Mr. Hunt's doctor before. Two days ago, I encountered some hooligans, and it was Mr. Hunt who saved me from the situation. He even got hurt in the process."Jim surveyed Rachel head to toe anxiously. "Are you alright?""I'm fine, but Mr. Hunt got hurt because of me. He's still recovering from a wound on his back from that incident."Rachel heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Jim focusing his attention on her potentially getting hurt.She turned and saw Tyler staring at her with his deep, dark eyes, a smile on his face.That smile gave her goosebumps.There were too many unfathomable emotions in his eyes. Sometimes she didn't dare to look into them, for fear that she might lose herself in that vortex of emotions.There was a

Howard had proposed to her, and she rejected him, but it was all in vain. Howard sought the help of his father, who came in person to ask on Howard's behalf for Rachel's hand in marriage.The Lloyd family didn't dare to offend him, so they had no choice but to agree to the proposal.At that moment, Jim chose to reveal to his father that Rachel wasn't a biological child of the Lloyd family, and he intended to make that information public soon.The Zieglers weren't keen on being in-laws with the Lloyds, and Howard's father only agreed to it very reluctantly when Howard went on a hunger strike in protest.How could someone from the Ziegler family marry an ordinary woman? If word were to spread, it would make them the butt of everyone's jokes!Thus, Mr. Ziegler gave up on asking for Rachel's hand in marriage. Howard never brought it up again.The truth behind Rachel's birth circumstances dealt her a major blow, but also saved her from marrying a man she didn't care for. If she marrie
