Chapter 461

“It’s the woman William divorced,” Sheryn said indignantly. “Her name is Rachel Lloyd, recently revealed to be the illegitimate daughter of the Lloyds.”

At first, Wilma had thought the woman was just another daughter from a wealthy family.

She knew there wasn’t a single woman in Yurelia City who didn’t wish for a chance to climb into Tyler’s bed. Any involvement with Tyler would guarantee them a lifetime of riches, not to mention being his wife or girlfriend.

Wilma’s lips twitched with anger and a hint of disbelief. She grabbed Sheryn’s hands.

“My dear girl, did you make a mistake? Your cousin hasn’t had a girlfriend for years, not even a rumored one. And now, you’re telling me you saw him with William’s ex-wife…”

“I’m serious, Mom! I didn’t make a mistake. I recognized her, alright. Her face was plastered all over the news previously, and people are still spreading those rumors about her until now.”

Wilma sighed. “What’s with your cousin recently? He must be bewitched by that woman. Why would he get himself involved with a divorced woman? To make things worse, she’s…”

She was William’s ex-wife, for goodness’ sake!

If Tyler’s father found out, that old man would surely give Tyler hell.

Sheryn was starting to panic.

“Mom, you have to think of something. I’ve been pursuing Tyler for so long, and we finally made some progress. I can’t let someone snatch him right under my nose!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this,” Wilma assured Sheryn. “I promise I’ll make that woman leave your cousin. I’ve seen my fair share of women like her. All they want is money. She probably didn’t get much from William before, so she’s hankering after your cousin and trying to get in his bed.”

“Don’t hesitate any longer, Mom. Go find Rachel right now. No matter how much she asks for, make sure she leaves Tyler,” Sheryn urged Wilma.

Wilma, knowing there was no time to lose, nodded in agreement.

“I’ll go right now!”

Rachel was whipping up a feast at home just to get in Tyler’s good books.

She desperately wanted to know who William’s uncle was–the man whom she went to great lengths to investigate but found nothing about.

Rachel paced back and forth in the house, thinking about whether she should make Tyler drink alcohol like yesterday.

On second thought, alcohol was a double-edged sword that would be detrimental to her as it would to Tyler. He was so filled with energy, he could stay up till midnight even without alcohol. If he were to take any alcohol…

Rachel decided against it. She couldn’t afford to stay up the entire night with Tyler.

Ray’s nose twitched at the smell of all the good food Rachel whipped up. He got so excited, he started leaping up and pawing Rachel.

Bright, innocent eyes stared right into Rachel’s.

Rachel couldn’t seem to resist Ray’s eagerness. Ray was just different from other dogs. Whenever Ray stared into Rachel’s eyes, she felt as though she was the only person in his heart and mind.

Rachel relented and threw Ray a piece of meat, which he quickly gobbled up.

The little treat was so tasty, Ray wagged his tail while staring up at Rachel, as though asking for more.

Rachel didn’t dare to give Ray more. She heard that dogs couldn’t take salt in their diet as it was bad for their kidneys.

Ray was Tyler’s dog, and she couldn’t just feed it whatever she liked.

Ray looked so pitifully at Rachel, she almost couldn’t resist. She patted his furry head.

“Alright, now. If I gave you more, your boss is going to come home and give me a huge scolding.”

Ray seemed to understand her and whimpered twice before giving up.

Rachel glanced at her watch and saw that it was about half an hour away from the time Tyler was expected to be home.

She was about to call Cecilia to discuss her plan when someone knocked on the door.
