NovelOnlineRachel was already growing impatient.
“Dad, I've made myself very clear. The only reason I still acknowledge you as my father is because, even though
you're blatantly biased toward Yvette, | can at least understand it. She's your daughter, too. But you can’t guilt-
trip me. I'm under no obligation to make up for the remorse you feel toward her.”
Then, Jim dropped a different bomb. “I heard Tyler's company is in trouble. If he can’t secure investors soon,
won't it be on the verge of bankruptcy?”
At that, Rachel felt a sharp unease in her chest. “What are you trying to do?”
“I know Lloyd Enterprise can’t solve all of his problems, but it could at least buy him stime. If you're willing
to show your sister smercy, I'll give you half of Lloyd Enterprise in exchange.”
Rachel’s heart clenched. She didn’t even know how to process the emotions crashing over her.
To think that, for the sake of saving Yvette-the sperson who once tried to destroy her-her father was willing
to hand over half the company.
Her eyes welled with tears, though she didn’t let it show.
Instead, she asked him softly, “If one day it werein that position, would you use the company to save me
too?”
Jim didn’t even hesitate. “Yes.”
The disappointment in Rachel’s eyes softened just a little, but she still couldn't give him an answer right
away.
“I'll think about it. I'll give you a reply in a couple of days.”
“Alright. Take your time, there’s no rush. As for your sister... She brought this on herself. A little suffering in there

Those last words eased Rachel's frustration somewhat.
When she hung up, she glanced back at Tyler and saw his brows drawn so tight they practically formed a straight
line.
She had been upset a moment ago, but seeing his face actually made her laugh.
“Who ticked you off, Tyler? Should | get you a mirror so you can see the look on your face?”
Tyler, looking every bit the stern disciplinarian, reached out and lifted her chin with his fingers. “What, are you
thinking of softening up and letting Yvette out?”

“No. Didn't I just turn him down?”
Rachel wasn’t about to tell Tyler everything yet. She needed more tto sort things out.
The real problem was that Tyler still hadn't signed the contract, which left a gaping hole in the situation.
Tyler gave her a cool glance. “You've refused for now. But who's to say you won't change your mind after a night
of thinking it over?”
Rachel covered her mouth and coughed awkwardly. “Could you not dissect every single word | say like you're
running skind of analysis on me?”
Then, quickly, she switched the subject.

But she didn’t push.
“By the way, are you going back to the office to work overttonight?” she asked.
Tyler finished eating, dabbed his mouth with a napkin, and leaned back.
“I don’t know yet. Why? Hoping I'll leave so you can sneak off to a bar with sguy?”
