Rachel rubbed her temples, and Tyler handed her a cup of coffee he had brewed himself."Drink some iced coffee. It'll soothe your throat. It's scorching outside. Are you feeling okay? I see sweat breaking out on your forehead."Tyler reached out to check her temperature. Worry was written all over his face.Rachel brushed his hand away and tilted her head up at him."Forget about me for now. Look at your phone. Media outlets are already blowing this thing up. The company has just started to recover, and now we're dragged right back into it.""It's fine. Didn't we already talk about this? I'll go wherever you want to go. As for the company, I'll just walk away."Tyler's voice was calm, like it wasn't some carefully weighed decision at all but rather something that came to him on a whim.Rachel hadn't taken his words seriously the first time. Although she had been touched, she assumed it was impossible.But now, hearing him repeat it, she realized he might actually mean it. She l

Anne's project alone wasn't nearly enough. On top of that, the whole incident with Anne might even spill over and slow down the project's progress, affecting Rachel's company. Rachel needed to prepare a backup plan.She glanced at the time on her phone; she still had enough time to make a trip to the Lloyd family estate.Although she had once sworn never to set foot in that place again, now it seemed she had no choice. She casually made up an excuse to Tyler, saying Cecilia had asked to meet her.At first, Tyler was skeptical. He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch."Cecilia invited you out this late? Shouldn't she be at home with the kids right now?"Rachel hadn't expected him to dig into the details, and she froze for a moment before quickly coming up with another excuse."Oh, her kids said they missed me. It's been a while since they last saw me. You know how it is. They don't have a father, and Cecilia's been raising them on her own. Her mother-in-law went back to her

Jim was lying in a hospital bed. An oxygen mask covered most of his face, leaving only his eyes exposed. His eye sockets had sunk deep, the once full skin around them now shadowed in dark blue and black. His eyes clouded over as if a white film had settled across them.Hearing the faint sound of movement, Jim slowly turned his head. The moment he saw Rachel, his expression froze. For a second, he even wondered if his illness had worsened so much that he was hallucinating."R-Rachel, is that really you? Am I seeing things?"Rachel's hardened heart softened when she saw how frail and weak he looked. How had he gotten so thin? He was practically skin and bones.She walked closer. "Dad, it's me.""You came back. When did you come back? I thought you'd never set foot here again, not for the rest of your life."Jim's eyes welled with tears as he looked at her.To be honest, Rachel was still angry about what had happened before. The pain they had caused her was etched into her bones. I

"Speak. What's going on?" Tyler uttered.Yale thought quickly and came up with a reply. "It was Mr. Jim Lloyd who gave us these projects. He said even if he didn't step in, Ms. Lloyd would've found a way to help anyway. And since the Lloyd family wronged her before, maybe this is his way of making up for it. Plus, I think he knows that if something happened to you, Ms. Lloyd wouldn't have it easy, either. I'm sure he's well aware of that."Tyler leaned into the sofa. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the contracts in front of him. After a moment, he said, "Check for me. What's Jim's phone number?"Yale blinked in surprise. "Mr. Hunt, shouldn't we sign the contracts first? We can always confirm later by phone."Tyler gave him a cold look. "Who's the boss here, you or me? Do you follow my orders, or do I follow yours?"Yale immediately lowered his head."Yes, sir."He quickly found the number and showed it to Tyler.As Tyler sat down to dial, Yale hurriedly sent Rachel a messa

Rachel pushed William away proudly. She didn't even spare him another glance.William's anger burned hotter as he watched her leave, but he could do nothing. He knew that even if he chased after her, it would be pointless.Rachel took a few steps before stopping, then turned back and said to him, "William, if you don't want me to hate you, then keep this matter buried inside you."Back at the apartment, Wanda was drying Ray's fur when she heard the door. Ray immediately broke free from Wanda's hands and bolted toward Rachel.Rachel instinctively crouched down to catch him."Easy there, slow down! You nearly knocked me over."She laughed as she tried to dodge him, but Ray still bumped into her shin with enough force to make her stumble. He didn't care at all. His paws landed on her knees, and his wet nose rubbed insistently against the back of her hand. His eyes sparkled as he panted happily.Rachel could only rub his head helplessly."Go on, let Wanda finish drying you off befo
