Chapter 269
“Rachel, go back with me. Dad said he hasn’t seen you for a long time,” Yvette said immediately.
Rachel naturally knew what was going on in Yvette’s mind. The girl was clearly acting out of jealousy.
Rachel never intended to compete with Yvette for anything. Rather, Yvette had always been the one imagining the antagonism between them.
To be honest, Rachel wanted to go back and visit her father too, but she simply had too many things to attend to and was running out of time.
Anyway… She hadn’t been spending much time with him over the years. After her departure, Jim probably wouldn’t find it hard to get used to.
He had Yvette by his side, after all.
Rachel patted Yvette’s shoulder. “Go home by yourself. I have something else to attend to.”
Yvette looked displeased.
Taking in the displeasure on Yvette’s face, Rachel went on, “You should be content. I called you over just now and executed the plan just to fulfill your wish. Oh, yes–tell Grandpa that I’ve done as you all wanted. Please move my mother’s tombstone back.”
Yvette didn’t push further and left with Yale.
After Yvette left, Rachel finally heaved a sigh of relief.
She bowed to Tyler and said, “Thank you, Mr. Hunt. If it weren’t for your help tonight, things might have turned out really badly."
Tyler had changed into something comfortable while Rachel was talking to Yvette at the door.
He approached Rachel and looked at her, staring at the reflection of the light on her hair. He could clearly see her facial features right before him. Her skin was fair and dewy, and her lashes went on forever, fluttering like butterflies as she blinked.
Rachel could sense something different in Tyler’s gaze. He looked as though he was trying to see right through her, and it felt deeply invasive.
She looked away. His stare was too incisive; it made her feel like running away.
Tyler’s voice entered her ears, deep and hoarse. “You’re more scheming than I thought, huh? Since when did you start planning this?”
He had always thought that Rachel was blinded by love, especially with regard to William. She had discovered his affair for so long, yet chose not to kick up a fuss over it. She never exposed William, or gave him an ultimatum.
Either she was bearing with it in preparation for a major outburst, or she loved him so much she didn’t even care if he had a woman outside of the marriage.
There were women so blinded by the honeyed words of men, they lost all their ability to think. They would brainwash themselves, thinking that these men were just chasing after something novel, and would patiently wait for them to realize they were the ones who loved the men the most.
Tyler found that thought alone outrageous.
Rachel looked at him with a self-derisive smirk.
“Do you really think I love William to the point of losing my mind? If that really happened, my mom would be turning in her grave.”
Tyler was never interested in rumors from the gossip mill, but he was getting excited to see the little kitten he had always thought was meekly bearing whatever came her way finally baring its claws in preparation for a counterattack.
He had never been so unwittingly used like this by someone.
Rachel Lloyd was the first.
