Sasha and Gerald were at each other's throats, shouting like there was no tomorrow.
Catching Tyler's eye, Rachel gave him a quick signal. Without another word, the two of them slipped out quietly,
bringing Jerry and the lawyer with them.
Even at the doorway, Sasha and Gerald's voices still echoed from inside.
“Old man, if that’s how you want to play it, then I'll fight the Lloyds to the bitter end! After all the years |
poured my blood and sweat into this household, do you think you can just tossout with a few words?
Think again! If | take my son and leave, the Lloyds will never see him again!”
The moment Gerald heard her threaten to take the child, he nearly jumped out of his skin.
“Don’t you dare! If you try to take that boy away, don’t blthe Lloyds for being ruthless. And don’t
think the Zieglers backing you means you can rest easy. Do you really believe Howard is doing this for you? He's
after Rachel! Or have you already forgotten about Sheryn Lyons?”
Gerald had overheard bits and pieces before-how Sheryn had flipped her testimony in court, which was
the only reason Rachel still hadn't been able to take Howard down. Instead, the Ziegler family had turned it
against her, accusing her and Tyler of intentional assault.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat case would drag on for ages if it really went to trial.
As for Shery, betraying Tyler had sealed her fate. Tyler had cut off all support, leaving her and her family
to fend for themselves.
Howard, true to form, had used her and tossed her aside without a second thought. Everyone knew she
wouldn't last long under his thumb.
Sasha knew all of this, but she had no other choice. Without Howard, she didn’t stand a chance.
Her eyes bulged, her voice turning shrill and venomous.
“This is all your fault! You forcedinto this!”
But Gerald didn’t even bother looking at her.
“Don’t put this on us. You're the one who got greedy. Had you stayed in your place, the Lloyds wouldn't have
cast you out. But no-you wanted it all for yourself. Swallow the entire Lloyd fortune whole? Careful that you don’t
choke on it!”
Blinded by desperation, Sasha couldn't hear a word of reason. To her, every sentence out of Gerald's mouth was
just another attempt to deny her a share of the Lloyd wealth.
She turned, eyes flashing, to where Howard sat sprawled in a chair like a lord. Moving toward him with a sickly-
sweet smile, she asked almost pleadingly, “Mr. Howard, you really will help me, won't you? | have

Howard crossed one leg over the other, lounging lazily as he picked at his ear with his pinky.

Gerald, still hoping to calm things down, tried to step in with a gentler tone.
“Mr. Howard, | know our family doesn’t have your kind of power, but we've known each other for years.
For my sake, can't you let this go?

What Gerald didn’t realize was that every word landed like a slap in the face. Howard despised being
lectured.
He slammed the table, shot to his feet, and jabbed a finger in Gerald's face.
“Who the hell do you think you are?
