Just as Tyler was about to swing again, Jim stepped in and stopped him.
“Tyler, today is the day Rachel’s mother comes home. Let it go.”
Tyler paused for a moment before finally relenting. He glared at Howard. “Howard, do you want me to drag you out, or are you walking out on your own? Pick one.”
Howard’s body was still twitching from the kick and the punch he had taken. He knew when to retreat. It was more important to live to fight another day. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shot Tyler a warning, resentful glare.
“You’re the boldest bastard in all of Yurelia City, Tyler. Just wait. We’re not done.”
Tyler tilted his chin with a smirk of pure disdain. “I’m not going anywhere. Try me anytime.”
Howard staggered to his feet and started limping toward the door. Jim, knowing Howard wasn’t someone they could afford to offend, quickly approached him.
“Let me have the driver take you home.”
Howard scoffed and waved him off. “Save it.”
Once Howard was gone, Sasha rushed forward. Her face was pale.
“Good heavens. This is a disaster. What are we going to do now, Jim? Howard left looking that bad, Gerald’s going to flip out and dump all the blame on our family!
“He was raised like a prince! Gerald’s never laid a finger on that boy his whole life, and now he goes out to deliver one little invitation and comes back beaten to a pulp.”
Sasha was rushing around the living room like a headless chicken.
Terrified, Yvette clung to Sasha. “Mom, what if Howard really holds this against us? The company just started getting back on its feet. If he turns on us now because of Rachel, we’re screwed.”
Yvette glared at Rachel.
“Rachel, seriously, what were you thinking? You know we can’t afford to piss Howard off, and you just had to go and provoke him! What now?”
Rachel frowned. She could understand Sasha’s panic, but Yvette was Melanie’s biological daughter. How could she say something like that?
Rachel laughed bitterly. “Yvette, don’t you think my reaction was the normal one? Howard just said all those disgusting things about Mom and you didn’t say a thing. All you care about is luxury and status. Do branded goods and power really mean more than family to you?”
Yvette seemed to realize how bad her response appeared. She lowered her head and muttered, “Okay, yeah, what Howard said was really awful.
“But what was I supposed to do? I can’t just slap him like you did. And besides, Mom’s gone. Whatever he says, it’s not like she can hear it. You’re deaf anyway. Why not just pretend you didn’t hear it and stay quiet?”
Rachel’s gaze flickered. She was stunned that those words had come from her own sister. Her chest heaved with rage, but in the end, she didn’t know what to say.
‘Forget it. Nothing I say will make a difference to people like Yvette,’ she thought.
“I’ve got nothing to say to you.” With that, Rachel turned and walked toward the backyard.
Sasha glanced at Tyler. Then she quickly whispered to Yvette, “Yvette, don’t just stand there! Take Mr. Hunt upstairs and help him clean up!”

Yvette finally snapped out of it and walked up to Tyler with a sweet smile, “Mr. Hunt, let me take you upstairs to get cleaned up. You can change into my dad’s clothes. They should fit you just fine.”
