Everyone in the room, including Rachel, stared at Tyler in shock. What in the world was he doing? Why was he exposing their relationship? Wasn’t it clearly stated in their agreement that they would keep their relationship under wraps for the time being, unless they had no choice?

The main concern was that while she might have a way out, things might become troublesome for Tyler if their agreement were to be terminated. Yet, he exposed their relationship just like that.

Sasha was the first to recover from her shock. She found Tyler’s statement unbelievable. “Mr. Hunt, what… what did you just say? Rachel… Rachel is your girlfriend?”

Tyler glanced coldly at her. “Do you have a problem with that?”

“But…”

Sasha wanted to say that Rachel was a divorcee and that there was no need for him to stoop to marrying a divorcee like her, even though he had been single for many years.

Gerald was equally taken aback. He never expected Rachel to get herself involved with Tyler. Instead of being happy with the news, he looked grim. “Tyler, although I’ve never met your father, I have at least heard of his temper.

“We’d have nothing to say about you two being together if Rachel had never married. The problem right now is that she’s a divorcee. Your family will never agree to you marrying a divorcee. What’s more, she can’t afford to wait. We want her to get married again as soon as possible so she has someone to rely on for the rest of her life.”

Gerald made himself very clear, but his words chilled Rachel’s heart. He despised her for embarrassing the family and thought she wasn’t worthy of the Hunts. The nerve of her to dream about marrying Tyler as a divorcee! Of all the eligible men in Yurelia City, Tyler was the cream of the crop. How could he stoop to being with a divorced woman?

Rachel wouldn’t have cared if those words came from an outsider, but Gerald was her grandfather. How could he disparage her like that?

Sasha chimed in as well.

“That’s right, Mr. Hunt. It’s not that we disapprove of the two of you being together, but if this is just for novelty’s sake and you’re not planning to take it seriously, it’ll be better if you stay away from Rachel. You might be able to afford playing the game, but she certainly can’t. If she wasted a few more years with you, she might be doomed for the rest of her life.”

Upon hearing the commotion, Yvette came downstairs and immediately noticed how tense the air was. Her face fell when she saw Tyler standing next to Rachel. She tightened her hold over the railing and said derisively, “Yes, Mr. Hunt. You really should think things through. My sister divorced William. If you’re just fooling around with her, you’ll be hard-pressed to explain things to both sides if things were to go south.

“Rachel was with my ex-brother-in-law for seven years and ended up divorced. Aren’t you worried that she’d break up with you one day when she’s in a bad mood and ruin your reputation?”

Sasha stepped forward and earnestly tried to convince Tyler as well, as if for his own good. “Yes, Mr. Hunt. What’s more, you and Yvette almost got engaged before, but it fell through because of various reasons. We found it a huge pity, really.”
