Howard wanted Tyler to take a good look at how he was going to sully Rachel, in hopes of making him less arrogant. He couldn't wait to see the look of torment on Tyler's face.Howard roared with laughter as he deliberately rested his knee on Rachel's back and made her groan in pain. "Aren't you amazing at tolerating pain? Don't you think you're all that? Now all you can do is to sit idly by and watch, unable to do a thing!"Tyler's jaw was so tense, he looked as though he was going to break his jaw. The rope was rubbing against his wrists so hard that they were turning red, and even the skin broke and started bleeding.While Howard was busy taunting Tyler, Rachel seized the chance to lift her leg and kick Howard in the crotch. Caught off guard by Rachel's attack, Howard knelt to the ground in pain. Sweat beaded on his forehead, the pain so overwhelming he couldn't even scream.His men stood by his side and yelled, "Mr. Ziegler!"No one noticed that Tyler had loosened the rop

"It'll be fine. Just do as I say," Rachel said. Jerry had never disobeyed Rachel's command, and it was the same this time round.Before leaving with Elias, he requested of Tyler, "Mr. Hunt, please take good care of Rachel.""Don't worry." Tyler grabbed Rachel's hand and brought Yale to another car.A sombre mood enveloped the Zieglers' residence, candles surrounding Steven's photo. Rachel changed into a black dress, and Tyler put on a black suit. Both of them stood at the door of the funeral hall with a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in hand.Someone inside spotted Rachel and Tyler and pointed at them angrily. "The nerve of you two to come!" The man was Miguel Ziegler, Steven's nephew. His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was dripping with fury. "Mr. Ziegler was angered to death by you two! If you two hadn't sent Howard to jail, he wouldn't have gotten a stroke and died!"All the relatives in the Ziegler family surrounded him, pointing and hurling insults at them."The n

"You underestimate the complexities of such wealthy and large families. Do you really think they were trying to stand up for Howard? They have their own plans. None of them were willing to step forward and be the bad guy."Rachel turned to look at him. "So you decided to be the bad guy instead.""It doesn't matter who the bad guy is. The most important thing is that it's all over now. The Zieglers probably wouldn't try to help Howard escape punishment by the law. In other words, we're not the ones who wish that Howard wouldn't be released. His relatives probably want that more than we do."Tyler knew better than anyone else how deep grudges run within a family like the Zieglers. The moment he stepped into the funeral hall and saw the ambition in their eyes, he knew that everything would be fine for them.The worst people to deal with were those who had no weaknesses at all. People with weaknesses were easy to manipulate.Rachel finally understood why Tyler managed to stay so calm

Tyler furrowed his brows. He looked at William, his voice low. "What's going on?"William leaned back and said, "Nothing. It's very simple. He's worried about you, but can't bring himself to call you. He knew you were back and asked me to call you here instead.""Since when did I say that? Stop talking nonsense!" Thomas barked. He suddenly sat up on the bed, frightening both William and Tyler."Grandpa!" William jumped from the chair. "Can you stop scaring us?"Thomas didn't look too good, but he was clearly in better spirits. Tyler wondered if that was a good thing or not.Thomas flung a pillow at William. "Who asked you to say that? When was I worried about him? He's not a child! What could happen to him?"William caught the pillow. "Grandpa, you're denying it now, but who was the one who kept asking for Tyler and wondering why he went overseas and when he'd be back? Who was worried that something bad might happen to him?"Thomas' face flushed red. He pointed at William and

Seeing William running away, Thomas shook his head."He's already old, but still so immature. He doesn't even know what he wants and the kind of woman he wants to lead the rest of his life with."With a wave of his hand, he changed the subject."You'd better spend some time thinking about what I brought up. You're not getting any younger. It's about time to settle your marriage."Tyler pursed his lips. "I… I don't know if she'll say yes."Seeing Tyler nervous was a rare sight. Thomas seized the chance to tease him. "Seems like Rachel really is here to torture both you and William. I know you always give your best at work and find any way to accomplish the task, no matter how complicated or challenging it seems. But that uncertainty on your face when you talk about a woman surprised me."What Thomas didn't know was that Tyler hadn't fallen in love with Rachel recently. He had loved her right from the start—she was the only woman in his heart.It had never changed. He treasured
