Tyler seemed unruffled by the update, as though it was something perfectly normal. He cracked an egg and switched the phone to loudspeaker mode.

“You know what to do.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Also, something major is happening with the Lloyds today…”

Rachel changed into a fresh set of clothes before heading to the Lloyds.

Yvette didn’t look too pleased to see her. On the other hand, there was a 180–degree change in Sasha’s attitude toward her. Sasha approached Rachel and grabbed her hand with a bright smile.

“Rachel, you’re back! I thought you’d come late today.”

Rachel remained indifferent to her change of attitude. “Why would I be late for something as important as my mom coming home?”

Sasha nodded profusely. “Yes, yes! They’re doing the necessary preparations, and everything will be done once the ceremony is over.”

Rachel remained silent.

Sasha knew Rachel didn’t like her, even though Rachel was her preferred daughter out of the two of them. Yvette, despite being the legitimate daughter of the Lloyd family, was no match for Rachel in terms of both intellect and looks.

However, Rachel held a grudge against Sasha because of Melanie.

Rachel felt that Sasha was the one who spoke badly about Melanie to her grandfather, which was why he hated Melanie so much and didn’t want her name in the family genealogy, and didn’t allow her to be buried in the family cemetery.

If it were Rachel, she would have brought Sasha success long ago.

Yvette didn’t look the part of an elegant, well–bred heiress at all. That country bumpkin in her always seemed to peek out despite her very best efforts to suppress it. Covering herself up with designer garb and embellishing herself with branded accessories only made her decent enough to engage with.

On the other hand, Rachel was completely different.

Her elegance shone even when she wore the most ordinary shirt and jeans. Her genteel and dignified aura drew the attention of many men in Yurelia City, giving her no lack of choices of suitors.

Marrying into the Lewis family was considered good enough, but it was a pity Rachel didn’t like Sasha. Because of that, Sasha couldn’t ride on the coattails of her success.

Sasha could only pin her hopes on Yvette. If Yvette could marry into the Hunt family with Rachel’s help, Yvette might end up better than Rachel.

Sasha was all smiles as she grabbed Rachel’s hand.

“Rachel, if your sister does end up marrying Tyler Hunt, our family will be able to hold our heads up high before others. With one daughter married into the Lewis family and another into the Hunt family, we’ll be the talk of the town! You two would have the two most powerful and influential families under your feet!”

That was the brightest smile Sasha had ever given Rachel, but Rachel knew it bore ill intentions.

She was truly disgusted by Sasha.

In Sasha’s eyes, her daughter was nothing more than a cash cow to bring her profit and benefits. Beyond that, she held no affection whatsoever.

Rachel didn’t want to get into an argument with Sasha, but she couldn’t hold herself back.

She turned to look at Sasha, doubt evident in her eyes.

“Do you really treat Yvette as your daughter?”

Sasha stood stunned, not really getting what Rachel meant. She kept the smile on her face as she asked, “Rachel, what do you mean by that? I don’t quite understand. It’s been so many years. Of course I see Yvette as my flesh and blood.”

“If you really do, why would you use her as a tool and make her unscrupulously try to get close to a man she doesn’t even like, or a man she doesn’t even know the temperament and personality of?”
