<b>Chapter 321 </b>
Tyler <b>stared </b>at Thomas‘ back, his tone calm but still icy.
“Rachel’s mother is my benefactor. I can agree to anything else aside from this. I’ll never back down<b>.</b>”
Silence ensued once more.
A momentter, after some consideration, Thomas said, “I deal with things on William’s end. Whatever <b>it </b>is, don’t interfere.”
With that, he mmed the door and left.
The sound reverberated in the room.
Tyler’s body trembled as his lips curled in a smirk.
“So old, but still strong enough to m the door so hard.”
Soon, William received a call from Thomas.
“Grandfather, have you settled things on your end? Tyler won’t be interfering anymore, will he?”
“I’ve given him a heads up, but he has one condition. You have to quell the rumors surrounding this issue and take down all news detrimental to Rachel’s reputation. As for yourpany’s problems, find another way to solve them.”
William was taken aback. “But why, Grandfather? Haven’t you discussed things with Tyler? Does he refuse to back down, or is there really something between him and Rachel ”
“Shut up! If it weren’t for the trouble you caused, would things have turned out this way? The nerve of you to make me clean up your mess!” Thomas roared, venting all his frustration from meeting Tyler on William.
Despite being a tough nut to crack, Tyler usually wouldn’t reject Thomas‘ requests. However, this matter was the only thing he refused to relent.
Thomas didn’t know if it was due to Rachel, or that her mother was Tyler’s benefactor. He could still ept it if it were thetter, but if the former turned out to be true…
Thomas‘ eyes dimmed.
Chaos would ensue in the Lewis family.
On the other hand, William wasn’t about to agree to Tyler’s condition.
There was a huge mess back at his office that he had to deal with. If it weren’t for his exposé, which had bought him some time, he was probably going to drown in the harshmentsizens spat his way.

“Grandfather, you know very well that I’ll have a tough time handling the online rumors without this shift in public opinion. Thispany is what it is today as a result of all the blood, sweat, and tears we poured into it! Can you bear to see all our efforts over the years go down the drain?” William said, almost breathless out of agitation.
“Do you really think I’m clueless about that?!” Thomas spat.
“Have you considered the fact that Tyler is as stubborn as a bull? If you refuse topromise and he expo. ur affair with Samantha, can you or the Lewis family bear the consequences of that?
“If he continues interfering in the Lloyd family affairs, and if Rachel somehow returns and they pick up from where they left off, I’ll be utterly humiliated!”
<b>The </b>mere thought of <b>his </b>grandson’s wife bing his sons wife was enough to make Thomas lower his head in shame. That would be a great humiliation for the Lewis family!
William was frightened by the prospect as well.
“Grandfather, don’t joke around with me,” he said cautiously, “Rachel and Tyler won’t… What’s more, they didn’t know each other before all this.”
William did have his suspicions about them, but he still found the idea hard to swallow.
Before he could recover from his shock, however, the servants ran over from the door.
“Mr. Lewis, the Lloyds havee.”
“Who, specifically?” William asked with a frown.
