Chapter 812

Losing them would surely be devastating to Lloyd Enterprise.

The shareholders were probably still in the dark about this. If they found out, Rachel would certainly be in trouble; they’d surely kick up a huge fuss over this.

Rachel hadn’t thought so much about it, but now that Tyler mentioned it, she was beginning to realize how troublesome things might turn out to be.

“Let’s think about this next time. I don’t have the strength to care about them right now. I see that your public relations department has settled things. Now that you have these additional projects, your company should be able to tide over.”

“Yes, it should, but what about yours?”

Tyler crossed his arms and shot Rachel a look.

Rachel was stunned, then said nonchalantly, “We’ll see when the time comes. I’ll think of a way.”

Tyler’s gaze warmed as he looked at Rachel; he reached out to pull her into his arms.

“You used to think twice before acting. Why are you being so reckless now? Playing the heroine now, aren’t you?”

His voice was low and hoarse as his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.

“I trust that if I face the same crisis someday, you’d help me without any hesitation, to the point of sacrificing LS,” Rachel said, filled with certainty.

She didn’t know why, but she simply had the feeling Tyler would surely do that.

Tyler smiled satisfactorily, his finger tracing her jawline as he planted a soft kiss on her lips. “Forget LS—I’ll give you my life.”

Rachel pursed her lips. “I don’t want your life. At most, you’ll just have to take care of me if I go bankrupt.”

Tyler thought that Rachel was just teasing.

Just then, Cecilia walked into the backyard, her face dark with displeasure.

“Pardon me. I really don’t want to interrupt, but William, Samantha, and Mr. Lewis are here.”

“What are they doing here?” Rachel said with furrowed brows.

Cecilia conveyed Thomas’ message to Rachel. “He said that no matter what, the Lloyd and Lewis families were in-laws in the past and probably will be in the future. It only makes sense for them to see your father off for the very last time.”

Rachel and Tyler exchanged looks, clearly displeased at the idea of the Lewises visiting. Their relationship with the Lewises was strained.

Rachel was the first to speak up. “Since they’re here already, we’ll have to meet them. We can’t possibly avoid them.”

Tyler detested the idea of meeting the Lewises, especially after the last encounter.

“I don’t want to see them. Go ahead and deal with them if you want to.”

Rachel knew that Tyler still held a grudge against the Lewises. No one knew clearer than she did how Tyler felt. Only those who shared his experiences knew.

She understood, but she couldn’t do anything about it.

As such, she didn’t force Tyler.

“Stay here and rest, then. I’ll go.”

Rachel and Cecilia exchanged glances before heading to the main hall.

Cecilia opened the door for her. “I’m sure the Lewises are up to no good. Please watch out. Even Samantha is here.”

“I know. We don’t have a choice, even if they came with ill intentions. We’ll just counter their every move as they come.”
