Sasha was rendered speechless. She didnโt expect Rachel to suddenly bring this up.
Rachel wasnโt sure if Yvette understood what she was getting at, but the look on Yvetteโs face changed.
Sasha noticed it as well and dragged Yvette over.
โYvette, tell Rachel whether you like Mr. Hunt or not."
Without a second thought, Yvette blurted out, โOf course I do! Heโs so handsome, who wouldnโt like him? Iโm sure you canโt find a woman in the whole of Yurelia who doesnโt fancy him.โ
Rachel pursed her lips. โSays who? I donโt like him.โ
Tyler had a sharp tongue that even Rachel found hard to handle, not to mention Yvette with her fragile ego. Rachel wasnโt jokingโYvette would probably break down in tears with just a few harsh words from him.
Yvette, however, clearly didnโt believe Rachelโs claim.
โRachel, weโre family. Why bother putting up a front before me? If you donโt like Mr. Hunt, why did you sneak into his house behind Williamโs back? Mr. Hunt was just done with his shower. What were you two doing together?โ
Yvette didnโt like Rachel to begin with. She knew they were probably treating her as a shield, calling for her to clean up their mess after they had their fun. They would always deal her the shorter end of the stick.
Rachel looked at the expression on Yvetteโs face and knew that her mind was in the gutter.
โCan you please get that out of your mind? Must a man and woman be engaged in those kinds of activities when theyโre alone?โ
However, Yvette was bent on getting to the bottom of things. โWhat were you two doing, then?โ
โDiscussing something!โ Rachel bit out.
Yvette refused to believe her. โOh, so you two were just discussing something, and then Mr. Hunt took a shower!โ
โYvette, thatโs your sisterโs business. It has nothing to do with you. Mind your own business,โ Jim said as he came down the stairs.
Yvette knew that her father had always cared for Rachel and always put her first in many things. She just didnโt understand. She was supposed to be the legitimate daughter of the Lloyds. What right did Rachel have to snatch the love that belonged to her?
Yvette stomped her feet with frustration. โDad, youโre being biased!โ
โYou always get the best of everything, and you even went over the limit of your credit card last month. Meanwhile, your sister has never taken a cent from our family,โ Jim retorted.
Yvette was rendered speechless by his words.
Rachelโs eyes softened as she looked at her father. โDad.โ
Jim nodded. โYouโre back.โ
โYeah, back to see Mom.โ
This was probably her last time visiting her mother.
Jim subconsciously glanced behind Rachel. โWilliam didnโt come with you?โ
Rachel stood stunned for a moment, but recovered quickly and said, โI didnโt tell him I was coming back.โ
William was probably busy keeping Samantha company and didnโt have time for her. What was the point of forcing him?
โI called him yesterday and told him about it. He said he would come,โ Jim said.
Rachelโs face turned dark with displeasure. โDad, why did you ask him to come?โ
Jim could see at a glance that something was wrong. He walked downstairs and stood before Rachel.
โAre you two fighting? Is it because of Tyler? I read the report just now and saw that Tyler has admitted it himself. The misunderstanding between you and William should be resolved. Whatโs more, you two have been together for so many years. You two should trust each other,โ he said, concerned.
Rachel naturally didnโt want her affairs with William to bother Jim. What was more, she didnโt want to look like a complete joke in front of Yvette and Sasha.
โNo, heโs just been very busy working with foreign companies recently.โ
Jim patted Rachelโs shoulder comfortingly.
โTalk things out between you two if thereโs anything. Donโt fight. You two have been married for seven years. Maintaining a marriage for that long ainโt easy.โ
Rachel knew her father was being long-winded, but she nodded obediently anyway. โOkay.โ
Yvette leaned in close to Rachel, trying to glean some gossip.
โRachel, did William ask you about being at Mr. Huntโs house yesterday? He doesnโt even know about your momโs tomb getting moved. You two must be fighting! If thatโs really the case, I can explain things to him.โ
