Chapter 326
Tyler’s hand froze in mid–air; his gaze swept coldly across ale, who shrank back in fear.
A chilly glint flashed past Tyler’s dark eyes–eyes that seemed exquisitely carved by a master’s hand.
Yale didn’t dare to make a sound.
Even though Tyler never admitted it, Yale knew Rachel had a place in Tyler’s heart all this time. Though it seemed as if he had traveled across the country for his business expansion, he was in fact searching for Rachel.
Any news he received about Rachel was enough to make him fly all the way there to confirm it.
Alas, he had been disappointed countless times.
Yale didn’t know if it was because of Rachel’s mother, or some other reason.
Tyler was a very secretive man; even Yale, who had been by his side and serving him faithfully for so many years, couldn’t quite figure him out at times.
Before taking his leave, Yale stole a glance at the contract Tyler signed with Rachel. He sighed and walked out the door.
Five years later…
News of Jim Lloyd being in critical danger due to his medical condition broke out in Yurelia City, spreading like wildfire.
He didn’t have much time left on this earth; his final wish was to see his daughter, Rachel Lloyd, before he passed
However, it had been so many years since Rachel vanished into thin air. Her whereabouts remained unknown, and no one knew whether she was dead or alive.
Would Jim die with regrets?
Such headlines started flooding the internet.
Sasha and Yvette were seated at the foot of Jim’s bed in his ward.
Jim’s face was pale and he looked all sapped of energy. He was still knocked out from his surgery, but he kept calling out for Rachel.
Yvette pursed her lips, clearly upset. “What in the world is Dad thinking? He’s still calling for Rachel at a time like this. What did Rachel do to bewitch him?”
Sasha didn’t expect Jim to care so much for Rachel even after she had disappeared for so many years without a
trace.
Was it ultimately because of Melanie?
She turned to Yvette. “Honestly–it’s been so many years, and you still haven’t had any progress with Tyler. We went to such great lengths to give you the chance to get close to him. With Rachel gone, you should have at least made some progress!”
The mention of Tyler’s name made Yvette deflate like a popped balloon.

“Easier said than done! You have no idea what a tough nut he is to crack! I’ve done everything I could, but it’s like he’s not a man at all. He shows zero interest in me!”
Over the years, Yvette had given her all. Yet, Tyler remained unyielding there was nothing she could do about it. Sasha found it odd, too. “You’re right. I heard that his grandfather introduced many eligible bachelorettes to him, but none of them caught his fancy.”
A bold thought came to Yvette’s mind. “If Tyler’s an ordinary man, there’s only one explanation for this—he’s in love with someone else!”
Realization dawned upon Sasha. “You mean… He likes Rachel?”
The mention of Rachel’s name made Jim’s fingers twitch as he lay on the bed.
Yvette waved her hand, finding the thought far–fetched. “Forget it! I don’t care who he fancies. So what if he likes Rachel? It’s been so many years. If Rachel were still alive, she’d have come back long ago.”
Hearing that, Sasha let the matter go.
“The problem now is, we have no idea how long your dad will live. As for the inheritance…”
