Chapter 105
"You shouldn't have snatched him from me! Rachel, who do you think you are? Do you think you're still the heiress of the Lloyd family? Iโm telling you, quit dreaming! Iโm the only legitimate daughter of the Lloyd family, while youโre nothing!" Yvette spat viciously.
"And who do you think you are?" A voice growled from inside the room.
Tyler stepped out in a bathrobe, his hair still wet at the ends. His gaze was penetrating, and the sharp arch of his brow was enough to silence another.
The hair on Yvetteโs arms stood on end when she saw Tylerโs expression. Immediately, her face turned pale with fright.
"Iโฆ Mr. Hunt, donโt believe a word of what my sister said! She was the one who drugged your drink! She wanted to find a chance to hook up with you and then pin the blame on me!"
Rachel looked at Yvette in disbelief; she didnโt expect the latter to push the blame entirely on her.
Tyler raised a hand and rubbed his brow. "Is that so? I was wondering why she was so eager to raise a toast to me." Seeing that Tyler was convinced, Yvette continued embellishing her story.
"I even advised her against it, and reminded her that sheโs already married. If William found out, how would she explain things to the Lewises? But she insisted on doing it anyway!"
Tyler shot Yvette a lazy glance, then asked flatly, "So why didnโt she seize the chance to sleep with me just now? Iโve been here waiting for her for hours."
"Sheโฆ" Yvette couldnโt seem to wrap her head around what Tyler just said. In fact, she thought she had misheard him.
Rachel didnโt sleep with himโฆ? How could that be? Why would she be drenched if she didnโt do anything with Tyler?
Rachel scoffed and admonished her, "What else could I be doing aside from cleaning up your mess? Donโt you know that you can lower the body temperature with cold water and alleviate the effects of the drug?"
Yvette was no fool. She pursed her lips and said dismissively, "Rachel, who are you trying to fool? The drug is so potent, how could its effects be alleviated with some cold water? Iโฆ" She broke off, realizing she had inadvertently exposed herself.
Rachel and Tyler exchanged knowing glances. The truth was out.
Tylerโs voice rang coldly in Yvetteโs ears, "Iโll speak with your father about this."
Yvetteโs knees went weak, and she had to hold herself up against the door frame. Her lips trembling, she sputtered, "Iโฆ I didnโt mean it. It was Rachel! She offered to introduce me to you!"
"Donโt worry, I wonโt spare her, either." Tyler threw Rachel a side glanceโฆ
He wonโt spare her? But didnโt she help him out earlier? Wasnโt that considered an effort on her part to make amends?
Had Rachel known how foolish Yvette was, she would never have agreed to help.
Yvette didnโt dare to provoke Tyler further; she could only try to make Rachel shoulder the blame. "Rachel, youโre the cause of this mess! Youโd better clean up after yourself, or Iโll tell William what happened between you and Tyler today. Letโs see how youโll explain to him why you were alone with a man in a hotel room!"
With that, Yvette turned to leave.
"Wait!"
