Chapter 98 +25 BONUS
Yvette stood there, completely stunned. Almost without thinking, she looked at Rachel.
"What's really going on? You never told me beforeโhe has issues with his orientation?"
Rachel froze, not sure how to answer. If she couldnโt figure this out, the situation with her motherโs grave would get even more complicated.
Also, she never expected Tyler to say he liked men.
She looked at Tyler. "What are you talking about? Since when do you like men?"
Tyler shifted on his toes, a playful smirk flickering at the edge of his mouth. His sharp jaw moved as he spoke clearly. Rachel caught the cold glint in his eyes as he mocked her.
โOh? You think you know my orientation better than I do? Have you ever tried?"
Rachelโs cheeks burned bright red. She hadnโt tried anything with him, but she had seen it. She remembered the last time she was druggedโTyler had reacted then. If he really liked men, he wouldnโt have reacted.
He was doing this on purpose.
Yvette was standing close, so Rachel couldnโt say much. She leaned in and whispered in Yvetteโs ear, โYouโve always wanted to marry into a rich family, right? Tylerโs family is even stronger than the Lewis family. If you ended up with him, whoโd dare talk behind your back? Think about that!โ
After hearing Rachelโs words, Yvette started to feel tempted again.
When she heard Tyler liked men, she had almost given up. After all, she was young and beautifulโshe couldnโt be with someone who had โissuesโ like that. If she stripped naked in front of him and he didnโt react, that would just be humiliating.
But Rachelโs words made sense, too. Lewis Enterprise used to be the biggest company around, but in the last two years, it had fallen far behind LS Enterprise.
Tylerโs wealth had become unimaginable years ago. William? Yvette didnโt even want to think about him.
Yvette took a deep breath. After thinking it over, her delicate face brightened with a smile once more.
โMr. Hunt, sorry for overreacting just now,โ Yvette said. โThese days, liking men is totally normal. We could just be friends!โ
When Rachel heard that, she felt her tightly furrowed brow relax a little.
Tyler swirled the half-full glass in his hand with his long, defined fingers, watching the two women with calm amusement. A quiet chuckle escaped him.
โYou two sisters are putting on a show for me, huh?โ
Rachel caught the sarcasm in his voice.
โMr. Hunt, your family probably pressures you about marriage, right? Instead of a stranger, why not pick someone you already know? I know my sister well. Sheโs a good person.โ
Rachel didnโt care about the truth anymore. She just made it up as she went. Whether Tyler ended up with Yvette or not, if they got together, she could finally push the old man to move her motherโs grave sooner. Then, her motherโs spirit could rest in peace.
Tyler set his glass down on the table and suddenly grabbed Rachelโs arm, pulling her aside. Rachel was worried that Yvette might get upset and run off, so she quickly waved and said,
โIโm just going to talk to Mr. Hunt alone for a moment. Wait here for me.โ
Tyler pulled Rachel into the hallway, and she kept trying to convince him, โMr. Hunt, youโre looking for someone anyway. Choosing my sister isnโt a bad idea.โ
Tyler watched Rachel like she was some kind of salesperson. He put his hands in his pockets, leaned in a little, and his dark eyes locked onto hers.
Rachelโs heart suddenly shrank, and she took a quick step back without even thinking.
