It was a critical moment. There was no time left for hesitation.

After a brief thought, Sasha agreed without further delay. “Fine.”

Yvette leaned in, reminding her, “Remember, this plan was your idea, not mine.”

Sasha silently cursed Yvette a hundred times in her head but forced a smile. “Yes, yes, it’s my idea. Happy now?”

Yvette pulled up a phone number and handed it to Sasha. “I used to have insomnia, and this doctor was good. You should consult him. For someone like my dad, you’ll get proper guidance. I’m sure he can give you solid advice.”

Sasha was smart. She caught the hint immediately and quietly memorized the number. “Don’t worry. I’ve got this.”

By ten that night, Rachel still hadn’t heard from Tyler. The doctors had already come in multiple times to change his dressings, and she couldn’t tell them he had slipped out of the hospital.

Instead, she lied, saying he was in the bathroom—or maybe caught up with company matters he couldn’t ignore.

Honestly, she only half-believed Yvette and Sasha’s warnings. Still, unease gnawed at her.

Rachel grabbed her phone and called Tyler twice, but there was no answer. Panicking, she tried Yale, but he didn’t pick up either.

She decided not to waste time on them and called Jerry instead. “Check for me, what exactly has Steven done to LS Enterprise? What’s going on with Tyler’s company right now?”

Jerry had never questioned Rachel’s orders and responded immediately. “Understood. I’ll check it out.”

Ten minutes later, he called back.

“Rachel, I’ve got the details. It’s pretty much what you heard, but the situation may be worse. The partners have already paid penalties, which means Tyler’s side is now liable for repayment. If you calculate it out, even if Tyler goes bankrupt, he might not be able to cover it all. Everyone in the LS building is working overtime right now—probably trying to settle the compensation.”

Rachel’s heart clenched. She hadn’t expected it to get this bad.

Steven had clearly thrown caution to the wind for Howard, completely disregarding the Lewis family’s reputation. But in a way, it made sense. In Yurelia City, Tyler’s company dominated the market. The next closest competitor was Lewis Enterprise, then the Ziegler family’s holdings.

Take LS Enterprise out of the picture, and their only real competitor would be Lewis Enterprise. Considering William’s current incompetence, she had to admit Steven’s plan was dangerously smart.

Rachel’s eyes narrowed. She made a decisive call.

“Jerry, calculate all my available assets. I need to know exactly what I have.”

Jerry was stunned. He immediately realized her plan.

“Rachel, you don’t mean you’re planning to cover Tyler’s losses with your own money, do you? Weren’t you going to invest your funds in that other project? The plan’s all ready. If you do this, it could fall apart!”

Jerry was more than grateful to Rachel for saving his life back then. He had been by Rachel’s side for years and had always admired her skill. He knew she was capable of almost anything.

However, Rachel had already made up her mind.

“That can wait. Originally, I wanted Tyler to invest in my project. If his company contributed, we could move forward. If he goes under, even with my assets, I won’t be able to find partners.”
