Chapter 430
Rachel had to find out who William’s uncle was.
Cecilia managed to find out through the grapevine a little about how he looked.
He was about six foot two, and always looked cold and distant. His sharp facial features accentuated his outstanding aura and assertive edge, making him stand out from the crowd.
Rachel kept repeating the information in her head as she made her way through the crowd, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt like laughing.
Having this so–called information was akin to not having any information at all!
Not a single person in this place was considered ordinary.
Rachel gripped her handbag tightly, her heart racing at the thought of what she was hiding inside. She was ready to go all out–no matter what, she had to ask William’s uncle for help to clear her father’s name.
Rachel searched around the hall as she pushed past the crowd, drawing the attention of some people who started talking about her in hushed whispers.
“Goodness, isn’t that William Lewis‘ ex–wife? What’s she doing here? Didn’t she disappear and die five years ago?”
“Who said she died? The police never closed the case. That means she’s just missing and not dead. Don’t
talk nonsense.”
“So, where was she the past five years? I heard that Mr. Lewis had been secretly looking for her all this while, unbeknownst to everyone else.”
“Seriously? That’s quite devoted of Mr. Lewis, to still be searching for her even after so many years.”
“If that were the case, why did he divorce her in the first place? Shouldn’t they have just stayed together?”
“You don’t understand. Men have a thing for their first love. Whether they end up married to another woman or not, there will always be a special place in their heart for their first love. Mr. Lewis is just like that -he couldn’t forget his first love even when he was with his wife. That’s why he ended up with his first love anyway, to make up for the regret back then.”
“Yet, when he eventually got together with his first love, the rose–tinted glasses he wore were completely shattered. With that, he decided that his ex–wife was better in comparison.”
If Rachel weren’t busy searching for William’s uncle, she would have gone over and given the gossipmongers a thumbs–up.
They were spot–on in their analysis of William…
Rachel looked around the hall and realized that Yvette and Sasha were present, too.
Sasha was tugging on the sleeve of a man on the cusp of middle age, intending to introduce him to Yvette.
“Yvette, this is Mr. West from Haverwood Real Estate.”
Yvette cast the plump, old man a disdainful look and realized how awkward the entire situation was.

Sasha nudged her with her elbow and smiled ingratiatingly at Mr. West. “She’s a little shy.”
With a bright smile, Jacob West said, “That’s fine. I heard that you have another daughter by the name of Rachel. Is that right?”
The fact that Rachel was a daughter of the Lloyd family was not something that Sasha could deny.
Since the shareholder meeting held that day, everyone in the business circle knew that Rachel was related to the Lloyds. Despite being an illegitimate daughter, she still had the blood of the Lloyds flowing through her
veins.
Sasha had no choice but to reply in the affirmative with a nod.
Jacob pushed his glasses up his nose bridge, the lenses reflecting light off them. “Is she still single?”
