Was Tyler someone who would yield to just anyone?

Cassandra waved the divorce papers in her hand. “Rachel, it’s a good idea, but applied wrongly. You should spend your time looking through the divorce papers and signing them instead.”

“Mom, I’ve made myself clear. I won’t divorce William,” Rachel said firmly to Cassandra.

Cassandra’s face flushed red with anger. She pointed at Rachel, then said to Jim and Gerald, “Just look at her! Your good daughter! How shameless of her, insisting on hearing directly from my son for a divorce!”

Jim couldn’t hold himself back any longer. The veins on his forehead popping, he barked back. “Cassandra, that’s too much! How could you call my daughter shameless? Wasn’t it your son who insisted on marrying my daughter right from the start? He was so desperate to marry her! Otherwise, I would never have agreed for Rachel to marry into a family as treacherous as yours!”

With an angry wave of his arm, he turned to look away from Cassandra.

Rachel took a deep breath, reluctant to waste her time on this. “There’s no better solution than this. Doing as I said is the best of both worlds.”

Everyone present knew that Rachel’s solution was indeed the best. The biggest problem lay in Tyler being extraordinarily hard to deal with. He was certainly no ordinary person. Anyone who could deal with Tyler was certain to succeed in anything he or she set out to do. Not just anyone had that kind of willpower.

Gerald pondered for a moment before finally agreeing to Rachel. “We’ll do as you said, Rachel. However, you should also know that if you fail to handle Tyler well, our deal is off.”

Rachel would be the one working things out. Gerald knew he had the better end of the deal.

Yvette approached Rachel and held her arm, as if they were best buddies. “Rachel, my dear sister! We’re all counting on you now. You must find a way to get Tyler on our side.”

Rachel smirked coldly before pulling her arm away. With a forced smile, she sneered, “Ms. Lloyd, don’t say that. How could an ordinary, lowly person like me be worthy of being your sister?”

Yvette smiled awkwardly. “Oh, Rachel! How could you say that? I was silly in the past. Even if we don’t share the same mother, you’ve been with this family for so many years. How could we not be sisters? If I end up marrying Tyler, I won’t forget how you helped me.”

“No need for that. I’m just helping to establish initial contact, and I’m not doing it for you. It’s best if we save the fake pleasantries between us.”

Rachel was getting goosebumps from the fake, ingratiating smile on Yvette’s face. She had seen too much of Samantha recently, who was equally fake. That innocent smile on her face hid silent daggers that might stab her in the back before she had the chance to scream for help. Even when Rachel realized what was going on, Samantha would only give her an innocent look, as though pursuing the matter was a sign of disrespect toward her.

Yvette saw how impervious Rachel was to her and found it pointless trying to butter her up. She didn’t like Rachel to begin with, anyway.

Gerald, clearly getting exhausted, said with a wave of his hand, “I’ve said everything I wanted to say. Rachel, it’s up to you from here on.”
