Chapter 334
Tyler’s casual statement left everyone momentarily stunned. No one could quite figure out what he was really here for.
Sasha stared at Rachel. “Rachel, do you really have to do this? I’m warning you. This is trespassing, I can call the cops on you right now!”
Rachel didn’t show the slightest hint of panic. Instead, she lifted her chin with a sneer, giving Sasha a sidelong stare.
“Go ahead. Call them. I’d love to see who gets arrested, me or you. Want me to help jog your memory about what happened five years ago?”
Sasha’s face went pale. “W–What are you talking about?”
“Aren’t you the least bit curious who paid someone to inject me with something in the hospital nearly five years ago? It nearly killed me. Or why the person who was sent vanished along with me and never showed up again?”
Rachel’s gaze swept across Sasha and Yvette. Her words hit their mark. Both women froze in place and were stiff as statues.
Yvette suddenly stammered in a panic, “T–that has nothing to do with me! Rachel, stop slandering us!”
Rachel’s glare grew colder. “Really? Then why don’t we bring in that person you sent and ask them ourselves?”
Sasha and Yvette were completely silent.
Rachel brushed past Sasha and headed upstairs. This time, no one dared to stop her.
Tyler sat in the chair with his eyes slightly narrowed. His fingers tapped rhythmically on the table. When he turned toward Yvette and Sasha, there was an unmistakable chill in his gaze.
Rachel went upstairs, opened the safe, and took everything Jim had asked for. Then she headed back down. Her movements were swift and precise. She didn’t even bother to question why Tyler had shown up at the Lloyd family estate.
As she moved to leave, Yvette suddenly lunged forward, grabbing her arm and bursting into tears.
“Rachel, you’ve ignored the Lloyd family all these years. You left Yurelia City like you never planned to return. Why come back now just to destroy my peaceful life? I’m the real daughter of the Lloyd family.
“Why are you back to steal all of this from me? What did I ever do wrong? You took my parents from me, and now you want to take the family’s inheritance too?”
The sight of Yvette like this made Rachel involuntarily think of Samantha back then. It was the same pitiful act, the same attempt to win everyone’s sympathy, as if she alone was the victim of the world.
Yvette, noticing Rachel’s indifference, suddenly turned and looked at Tyler. She rushed toward him and grabbed the sleeve of his suit tightly. Her eyes welled with tears.
“Mr. Hunt, please don’t believe what she said. She’s accusing us unfairly. You saw it yourself. She only came back after hearing Dad was critically ill. She wants to take everything.
“She’s even accusing us of trying to hurt her, but she’s the one who left that divorce agreement, saying she wanted to leave William!
“Now she’s even blaming you for leaving us.” Yvette spun back around and snapped at Rachel in a trembling voice. “You keep saying we hurt you. Then why did you leave? Do you even dare tell us where you went all these years?”
There was no way Rachel could tell Yvette where she’d been. She’d signed a non-disclosure agreement.
Now that she had what she came for, she had no intention of wasting another word on Yvette. With an unreadable expression, she brushed past.
Suddenly, Tyler stood up and extended an arm to stop her.
Rachel halted. She instinctively looked up at him.
