Chapter 591

Tyler immediately called Yale.“Yale, go check if there’s still any evidence at the scene proving Howard assaulted and tried to rape someone, and bring Sheryn to the hospital. I have questions for her.”“Yes, sir.”After hanging up, Tyler saw Rachel looking anxious. He reached over and pinched her cheek.“What? Don’t trust your boyfriend? I can handle something like this.”Rachel shook her head. “It’s not that. I just don’t want to cause you more trouble.”Tyler pinched her cheek again, gently. “Rachel, when are you going to learn to lean on your boyfriend? You really don’t know how to enjoy being taken care of.”Rachel felt like he was about to lift her right off the bed. “Ouch.”Tyler chuckled and released her.“Now you’re acting like I hurt you on purpose. I didn’t even use any force.”Rachel had half a mind to grab her phone and check if her face was red—only to remember that Tyler still had her phone. She reached out for it.“Where’s my phone?”Tyler searched around the

“I’ll rest for a bit. You should try to get some sleep, too.”Tyler didn’t think much of it, completely unaware that something was off with Rachel. He just assumed she was tired and wanted to lie down.Rachel gripped the blanket tightly, fighting to keep herself from completely breaking down.Yale arrived with Sheryn and was about to knock on the door when Tyler raised a hand, signaling him to keep quiet.Yale caught on immediately.He helped Tyler up carefully and led him out of the room. They shut the door gently, both thinking Rachel was asleep, but she wasn’t.Out in the hallway, Tyler sat on one of the benches. His expression turned cold.“I heard you’ve decided to cover for Howard. Is that true?”Sheryn knew he would ask her this. If it were about Rachel, no matter how busy or badly hurt he was, Tyler would make time for it.But when it came to her, even if she needed him, he was nowhere to be found.The difference between being loved and not being loved was glaring.A

Chapter 593

Sheryn looked at Tyler with a torn expression.“Tyler, don’t push me. Rachel still has you to back her up, but what about us?”“Doing the right thing is what you should be doing. Don’t use Howard as an excuse. When his two men tried to assault you, you didn’t give in. So why suddenly act like Howard has such a hold over you now?” Tyler retorted. Sheryn felt like she was being roasted over an open flame. She knew Tyler wouldn’t actually harm her, but if she testified for Rachel, she and her mother would be in serious trouble.Besides, helping Tyler meant helping Rachel, and Sheryn wanted nothing to do with that woman. If it weren’t for Rachel, she and Tyler might have been together long ago!That thought alone sent a flash of anger surging through her chest.This time, her refusal was firm.“Sorry, Tyler. I can’t help you with this. If I do, I won’t be able to stay in Yurelia City. I hope you can understand. My mom and I aren’t like Ms. Lloyd. She has you behind her. We have n

Chapter 594

Sheryn’s resentment was swelling inside her like a sponge soaked to bursting, ready to split wide open.-As Yale helped Tyler back toward the ward, he asked, “What’s your move on Ms. Lyons?”He knew Tyler’s temperament. If Sheryn had pushed it this far, Tyler wasn’t going to just let it slide.Tyler thought for a moment. “Cut off every card they’ve got. If she wants to be Howard’s lapdog, let’s see if he’s willing to feed her.”Yale chuckled. “That’s not happening. Howard can barely keep himself together. He’s not about to bankroll Ms. Lyons. She’s no use to him, anyway.”Tyler smirked and patted Yale on the shoulder. “If you can see that and they can’t, that’s their problem. I gave them a chance, but they refused to take it."“You’ve already done more than enough. Whatever her mother did for you years ago, they’ve taken plenty from you since,” Yale said. “Push the evidence search, and get me the best lawyer you can find," Tyler replied.If Howard won this case, he would onl

Chapter 595

Sheryn clenched her jaws so hard, it was a wonder they didn’t crack. Her face was pale, and she felt a sting in her nose as she stared at Howard with teary eyes.“Howard, how can you do this? We had an agreement! I’ve never once helped Rachel. I’ve always been on your side.”People thought Howard was a lazy, good-for-nothing playboy, but that didn’t mean he was stupid.Howard smirked, his gaze full of ridicule, like he was watching a cheap stage play.“Sheryn, are you actually dumb, or do you just like believing your lies? Do you think everything you do is for someone else’s good?”He leaned forward slightly, voice dripping with sarcasm.“Be honest. Are you really doing this for me? Do we even know each other like that? You just can’t stand Rachel. You think you’re beneath her, so you came running to me for some kind of justice. Hate to break it to you, but you came to the wrong person.”Howard always spoke this casually to people he didn’t like.Just when Sheryn thought this w

Chapter 596

Sheryn finally broke down in tears and poured everything out to Wilma.Wilma was silent for a moment on the other end of the line, then burst out in disbelief.“What did you just say?! You sided with Howard and refused to testify for Tyler? Sheryn, have you completely lost your mind? What is Howard to you, huh? Why are you helping an outsider?”It was rare for Sheryn to hear Wilma raise her voice.Though she was only Wilma’s adopted daughter, Wilma had always treated her well over the years.This was the first time Sheryn had heard her so furious, but Sheryn felt wronged.“Mom, you can’t put all the blame on me! If it weren’t for Rachel stirring up trouble, things wouldn’t have turned out like this. You didn’t see it—Tyler was willing to throw his life away for that woman! Why? What does she have that I don’t?”She was too busy airing her grievances to notice Wilma’s growing exasperation.“You foolish child! Can’t you tell the difference between a moment and a lifetime? Even if

Chapter 597

Sheryn headed back into the ward.Howard was lounging in bed, casually eating fruit as if he didn’t have a care in the world.Next to him, a sultry-looking woman had somehow appeared—gorgeous, with a tight dress straining over her curves.Sheryn’s nails dug deep into her palms.Everyone else was fine—Rachel was fine, and Howard was fine—yet she had lost everything.No one caught the flash of malice in her eyes, narrowing like a snake poised to lash out.She stepped up to Howard with a stern expression.“Give me 1.5 million, and I can help you get Rachel.”Howard paused mid-bite into his watermelon. He then looked up at her with a crooked, mocking smile. “You might be confused. I’m not all that interested in her anymore, but I won't let this thing slide. She's going to pay for what she did! If I can’t have her, Tyler’s not getting her either.”Hearing that, Sheryn felt even more confident.“Then you need me even more. There's no need for you to get your hands dirty or think

Chapter 598

After all, this involved both families. If the media got wind of it, the rumors would be endless.More importantly, even if Tyler didn’t act, the Ziegler family would.One could say they cared more about this than anyone.After all, Howard’s injury was different. If word got out, what girl would still dare marry him?Cecilia thought for a moment. “Sounds like one of the staff overheard it from Howard’s social circle. No details, just that Tyler and Howard got into a fight over a woman.”Rachel almost laughed. “And how are you so sure that woman was me?”Cecilia chuckled over the phone. “Isn’t it obvious? Who else could it be? Howard’s practically been glued to you his whole life! Years have passed, and he still won’t let you go. If you ask me, that’s just how rich guys are. The more they can’t have something, the more they want it.”She didn’t linger on the topic.“I can’t see you until I’m off work. Send me your address later. Oh, and this morning, Yvette and your stepmother c

Chapter 599

The moment Yale heard that, a bad feeling crept up on him. He quickly backpedaled.“No, no, that’s not necessary.”Tyler crooked a finger at him. “Come here.”For a split second, both Rachel and Yale felt like Tyler wasn’t calling a person so much as summoning a dog. The air turned awkward in an instant.Rachel jumped in to explain for him. “He’s probably just used to it. Ray doesn’t always listen, and this works better.”Yale smiled stiffly. “Is that so? Haha…”Rachel dropped her gaze, realizing that explaining only made it sound worse.Yale stepped up to Tyler’s side, leaned forward, and whispered in his ear.“It’s bad, sir. Steven has started hitting our stock hard, and every pending partner is suddenly pulling out. That’s not even the worst part. The companies we’re already working with are willing to take the penalty fees just to stop doing business with us.”Everyone knew that even if the penalty was paid, the company would still take a loss.One or two partners pulling

“No way. In your condition, forget me—the hospital staff won’t let you leave.”“I’ll come right back after I handle it.”Tyler’s tone was unusually soft. He was trying to negotiate, but Rachel didn’t even have to think about it before refusing.“No. I don’t care what you say, you’re not going to the office. Tyler, this is your body we’re talking about! Did you not hear the doctor? If they hadn’t gotten you here when they did, you’d be missing that leg right now.”Yale stared at Tyler like he was seeing a ghost. His eyes were wide.Had hell frozen over?He had worked for Tyler for years, and never—not once—had he seen him soften his tone. Tyler had always been a lone wolf, decisive to the point of arrogance, never asking for permission.Now, he was actually trying to negotiate—and it was with a woman, no less.This was rare.Yale stayed put like he was watching a show. He was curious to see how Tyler would deal with Rachel, who clearly wasn’t easy to convince.Tyler hobbled ov
