Chapter 477

Hearing that, Rachel was thunderstruck. She had gone through every single powerful and influential man in Yurelia City, but never considered the possibility that Tyler might be William’s uncle.

Yet somehow, that didn’t seem right. If Tyler really were William’s uncle, and if William really feared his uncle… Well, that didn’t seem to be the case with Tyler. After all, William always greeted him respectfully as Mr. Hunt.

She quickly beat down Cecilia’s guess. “Stop letting your imagination run wild. Can’t believe you let your thoughts stray so far. I’m certainly no stranger to them. If Tyler really were William’s uncle, do you think I’d be clueless about it?”

Rachel’s words made sense to Cecilia. “That’s true. You’ve been talking to both of them for so long, you can’t possibly not know if they’re really uncle and nephew.”

Rachel brought the discussion to an end. “Alright. Instead of wasting time on meaningless conjectures, you could’ve been making your way here instead. I’ll send you my location.”

“Okay.”

Rachel quickly sent Tyler’s address to Cecilia.

The moment Cecilia arrived, Rachel opened the door without missing a beat.

Cecilia walked in and looked around her, exclaiming in awe, “Goodness! Mr. Hunt is practically hiding his mistress in a luxurious mansion. I can’t believe someone actually lives in such a secluded place.”

Rachel pulled her outside. “It may be secluded, but it’s also very serene and peaceful. There’s even a river outside. You can sit there and fish when there’s nothing else to do.”

She was getting bored after being stuck in the house for two days straight. Tyler had insisted that she lay in bed to recuperate, and he even instructed Wanda to brew soup for her every single day.

She had been enjoying so much good food over these two days, she felt like she was on the verge of puking. She used to complain that she never had the time to catch a break when she was so busy with work, but now, she realized how torturous it was to lay in bed all day with nothing to do.

When she got bored, she could only play with Ray. When she had her meals, Ray would have his meals, too. Even Ray was gaining weight from all the eating.

Cecilia tutted. “You’re living the dream, Rachel. On the other hand, I feel so exhausted every day, and I still haven’t found a job yet. You know that since I left Lewis Enterprise, Mr. Lewis has been telling everyone that I’m a spy who caused the company huge losses. No one was willing to hire me, even though I sent my resume to practically all the companies in the city.”

Rachel thumped her chest and said confidently, “Leave that to me.”

Cecilia couldn’t wrap her mind around Rachel’s statement. “What do you mean by that? You mean to say that you can help me find work?”

It wasn’t that Cecilia didn’t want to believe Rachel, but Rachel didn’t even have a job herself. What’s more, much had changed in Yurelia City over the past five years. Rachel was no longer the same, and that was the case for Yurelia City, too.

Cecilia was still confused. “Your… your company? Since when did you have a company?”

Rachel poked Cecilia’s forehead, exasperated over how slow she was on the uptake.

“Did you forget that I’m from the Lloyd family? An illegitimate one yes, but still a daughter,” Rachel added, her eyes dimming ever so slightly.

Cecilia knew about Rachel’s difficult birth circumstances. It was traumatic enough for Rachel to mistakenly think that she wasn’t blood-related to the Lloyds. Yet now, she was found to be an illegitimate daughter. Fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on Rachel.

Come to think of it, though… An illegitimate daughter was miles better than someone like Cecilia, who had nothing. As the saying goes, a rich family in decline is still richer than a poor family.

Cecilia comforted Rachel. “You’re in a way better state than me. Look, I don’t have a job and my life revolves around my child and my mother-in-law. My parents died early, and my husband left us with huge gambling debts. I don’t even know where he is right now. No matter how unlucky you end up being, you’ll never be as unlucky as I am.”
