Jason rubbed the spot between his brows.
“I don’t know exactly who William’s uncle is, either. I only heard he’s mysterious as hell. But Tyler does have some ties to the Lewis family. If you really want to know, you’re better off asking him.”
Rachel felt like she was developing some kind of trauma from constantly being lied to by men.
She had to get a solid answer out of Jason.
“Mr. Denzel, how can you be so sure that Tyler would know who William’s uncle is?”
Jason only gave her one answer.
“No one knows better than he does.”
Rachel got the message.
Jason drove her home, and after Rachel thanked him, she was just about to get out of the car.
Jason decided to give Tyler one last push.
“Ms. Lloyd.”
Rachel turned around. “Something else?”
“Do you know who set up yesterday’s puzzle?”
Rachel thought of the game from last night. It had surprised her, because it really was a one–of -a–kind puzzle. She had even looked it up online afterward.
Nobody had solved it except her.
Rachel had taken an unconventional approach. If she had stuck to the usual strategies, there’s no way she would’ve cracked it.
To her, it was nothing more than a stroke of dumb luck.
She felt curious, too.
“Who?”
Jason liked to be cryptic sometimes.
“Why don’t you guess?”
The moment he said that, Rachel’s mind scanned through the possibilities, and she answered right away.

“Tyler.”
Jason looked at her in shock. “How’d you figure it out?”
Sometimes, Rachel really thought Jason wasn’t that bright. He could be kind of dopey at times.
“The moment you asked me that question, you basically slapped Tyler’s name on your forehead,” she said.
Jason reflexively reached up and touched his forehead.
“Was it that obvious?”
“Yes, because the minute you asked a question like that, it meant the person who created the puzzle had to be someone we both knew. Otherwise, there’d be no reason for you to ask me. And since we just met yesterday, that only leaves one mutual connection, Tyler.”
Jason finally understood why Tyler had been single all these years despite being surrounded by gorgeous women.
He really had his sights set on Rachel.
She wasn’t just pretty. She was also brilliant.
He waved at her. “Take care, Ms. Lloyd. I’m sure we’ll be seeing each other again.”
Rachel nodded slightly.
Things between her and Tyler were complicated now. Since Jason was a close friend of his, it was only a matter of time before they crossed paths again.
She watched Jason drive off, and her mind circled back to something Jason had said earlier,
Tyler definitely knew who William’s uncle was.
Rachel was going to get that answer out of him tonight!
What she didn’t know was that her real troubles were just beginning.
After Sheryn had returned home from LS Enterprise, she immediately burst into tears in front of her mother.
“Mom, it’s over between me and Tyler for real this time!”
“What do you mean? Weren’t things going fine? Besides, you brought him that soup, didn’t you? Let me tell you, Tyler doesn’t just accept things from anyone. The fact that he took that soup from you proves he hasn’t shut you out completely.”
Hearing her daughter sob like this, Wilma gently patted Sheryn’s shoulder to comfort her.
But Sheryn kept crying. “No, this time it’s different. I walked into his office and caught them

together. His clothes were a mess, Mom. I could tell he was really protective of that woman.”
Wilma’s expression darkened instantly. She slammed her hand on the table.
“Tell me, whose daughter is she? I’ll go find her myself!”
