Tyler tightened his grip on Rachel’s hand comfortingly. “He’s adept at being shameless. You don’t always need to
give in to him, alright?”
Rachel almost couldn’t stop herself from bursting out laughing.
Thomas blushed and bellowed, “Tyler!”
“Go on ahead. Just don’t hold her back for too long and make things difficult for her,” Tyler said irritably.
He waved them away, as though he might just change his mind if they stayed a second longer.
Thomas led Rachel to the other end of the corridor, which was quieter with fewer people milling about.
Rachel didn’t bother with pleasantries. They were certainly familiar with each other, and Thomas had expressed
much of his disapproval toward her when she was married to William.
He was like that to her when she was with William, not to mention Tyler, the backbone of their family
and business.
What a joke this entire fiasco turned out to be, Rachel chuckled inwardly. Cutting to the case, she said, ” Mr.
Lewis, | suppose you wantto leave Tyler?”
“Since you know what I called you here for, nyour price. I'll do whatever | can to give you what you
ask for.”
Thomas’ tone was calm, almost pleasant.
Rachel had the urge to laugh at Thomas' offer.

the habit even after so many years. Haven't you cround to it yet? I'm never the one
with any say in the matter, and neither am | the decision-maker. Tyler is the one with the right to decide.”
Rachel wasn’t selling herself short. When Thomas tried to make her leave William with the same
approach, she had naively agreed to it.
She admitted that she was too easily swayed by what others said at that point.
Back then, she didn’t want to be a burden to William. The Lewis family was powerful and influential. If William
married a deaf woman, he would becthe butt of everyone's joke in Yurelia City.
She didn’t want William to be looked down upon.
In the end, William put his life on the line by going on a hunger strike, insisting on marrying no one else
but her.

When he was eventually sent to the hospital, the doctor said that had he been sent in ten minutes later, he
might have lost his life. That was when Cassandra and Thomas finally relented and allowed her to marry William.
Thomas’ callus-covered hands rubbed against the handle of his cane as a solemn look overtook him.
“Then disappear from the face of Yurelia City as you've done five years ago. Since you could hide from both Tyler
and William, I’m sure you can go back to where you were hiding again. Just tellwhat you
want in return.”
Rachel barely hesitated for a few seconds before nodding.
“Sure, | can do that.”

The air around them froze the moment she raised her request.
A few seconds later, Thomas looked visibly upset after recovering from his initial shock.
“You're asking for too much! Tyler has his own company. If | gave mine to him, what would William be
left with?”
Rachel retaliated calmly, “Since you

Although Rachel couldn't claim to understand what Tyler went through, the mere thought alone sounded
horrible enough to her.
