Chapter 437

Rachel couldn’t help but chuckle a little when she heard the phrase ‘spend the night together.’ It sounded like something out of ancient times, like competing for the company of a courtesan. Whoever paid more got to spend the entire night with her.

She wondered if that was what Jason felt like now.

If Jason heard that, he would probably get a good laugh out of it.

After the banquet ended, Rachel walked up to him of her own accord. Jason’s gaze briefly landed on her.

“Ms. Lloyd, what made you think of making that move?”

Rachel just smiled. “It’s like alternative medicine. Some doctors prefer traditional methods, but if I were a doctor, I’d probably go for unconventional remedies from time to time.”

In other words, she didn’t follow the rules.

Jason found that rather admirable. Rachel wasn’t like other women. She looked him in the eye without hesitation.

He had met countless women, but not one had dared to look him straight in the eyes so openly.

“Do you think we can find somewhere to talk in private?” Rachel brought it up before Jason could even speak.

Jason raised his eyebrows slightly, clearly surprised. Was she that eager? Was she actually into him?

He thought for a moment and said, “Alright. Wait for me in this room.”

He slipped a room key card into her hand.

Rachel never imagined a simple key card could feel this warm in her palm. It was like holding a scorching potato. Her fingers instinctively curled around it.

Jason hadn’t said anything outright, but she was an adult. She knew exactly what this meant.

Still, she didn’t think Jason was doing anything wrong. He was a man, and it was perfectly natural for a man to want that kind of thing with a woman.

Rachel nodded. “Alright. I’ll go get ready.”

Jason froze for a second, then quickly nodded back, almost hurriedly.

“Yeah, yeah, you go get ready. Everything you might need, make sure you have it.”

He turned on his heel and rushed off, leaving Rachel slightly confused. The more she thought about it, the easier it was to figure out what he meant.

Between a man and a woman, what else could he have meant?

To be honest, she was hoping there might be another way to resolve this. Something that didn’t require going that far.

Oh well. She’d go pick things up first and take them one step at a time.

1/2 Chapter 437

As Rachel left the hotel, she had no idea someone had their eyes on her from behind.

Tyler didn’t step forward to stop her. Instead, he called Jason directly. His voice was low and cold, laced with an edge of menace.

“What exactly did you ask her to do?”

Jason hadn’t expected Tyler, who was usually composed and restrained, to lose his cool this fast.

“You really called fast. Let me tell you, if I weren’t your friend, and were your enemy instead, the way you’re panicking right now would’ve already become your biggest weakness.”

Tyler didn’t bother hiding his fury.

“If anyone dares lay a hand on her, I’ll make sure they die a miserable death. I’ll make them regret ever being born!”

Jason believed him. He and the others had grown up with Tyler and knew exactly what kind of man he was. If Tyler was reacting like this, it meant that the woman really mattered to him.

So then why hadn’t he made a move earlier? With his charm, he could have had her wrapped around his finger in no time.

Jason didn’t argue anymore.

“Alright, alright. But listen, I’ve got something I need your help with-”
