But if she agreed to Tyler now, what about the proposal in her hands? Her schedule was already tight.
With Yvette having just been taken in, Rachel needed to follow up on that immediately. If Yvette
managed to find a way out, all the tand effort she had invested would go to waste. She couldn't afford
to fail at this stage.
Jerry, standing to the side, seemed to notice Rachel's hesitation and spoke up on his own.
“Mr. Hunt, if you're too tired, you could take a sleeping pill. | have sin my bag.”
Tyler turned his head, glancing past Rachel. His eyes instinctively locked onto Jerry, and Rachel could
practically smell the hostility in the air.
She repeatedly gave Jerry warning looks. Normally, he would have understood and held back. But today,
for reasons she couldn't quite place, Jerry was clearly emotional-and she didn’t know why.
Tyler's voice cout cold.
“I have a girlfriend to lullto sleep. Why would | need sleeping pills?”
It was a blunt, cutting retort.
Jerry's lips pressed into a tight line. Combined with his usual air of roguish defiance, he looked like an
untamed beast—one that had restrained itself only because of Rachel's presence.
But now Tyler had openly challenged him, and Jerry's gaze was brimming with hostility.

Rachel's face flushed red. For a moment, she almost wanted to clamp a hand over his mouth.
She leaned close and whispered in his ear, “Tyler, shouldn't you be heading to bed now?”
Tyler raised a brow, a sly look appearing on his face. “See? That wasn’t so hard.”
Rachel supported him toward the bedroom, but halfway there, she suddenly remembered something.
“I'm just going to step out for a glass of water.”
As she stepped outside, she spotted Yale reclining on the sofa with his eyes half-closed. At the sound of

her footsteps, he opened his eyes.
Rachel gave him a look.
Yale immediately got up from the sofa and followed her out onto the balcony. Before she stepped out,
Rachel pointed Jerry toward the bedroom, signaling for him to keep watch. If Tyler cout, Jerry was to alert
them right away.
Jerry understood at once and gestured an ‘OK‘ with his hand.
Rachel leaned gently against the balcony railing, her face showing clear traces of weariness. “How's your
company holding up right now?”
“Those overseas projects, they're your work, aren't they, Ms. Lloyd? I've read them over. The proposals are
excellent. Flawless, really,” Yale said.
Rachel's eyes lit up at his words. “So does that mean Tyler has already signed off on them?”
Yale’s mood suddenly dimmed. “It’s precisely because they're too flawless that he hasn't signed. He
actually suspects there might be a trap hidden in them.”
