My grandpa used to like it. Who even plays shut and anymore?" It was unclear whether Jason genuinely had an interest le shatranj or if he was just using it as a polite way to drive these women away.
Rachel hadn't stepped forward yet. She was standing a short distance away, quietly observing Still, someone eventually took the bait.
"Mr. Denzel, could we take a look at the board?" "Sure" Jason pulled out his phone, and the other women leaned closer to look as well.
"This board looks like someone stopped halfway through." "Yes, looks like it's headed toward a dead end. Basically, someone needs to try and turn the situation around " Sof the women might not have been experts, but they understood enough to give it a try.
After all, a basic understanding was good enough. It was a chance to impress Jason. Not only was he handsand cfrom a powerful family, but word had it that he was close friends with Tyler as well.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs for Tyler? They had all given up.
That man was practically a priest.
Over the years, many had tried to pursue him, but nothing ever worked. He wasn't moved by anyone. Eventually, rumors began to spread in their circles. People speculated that Tyler's sexual orientation might be unconventional.
How else could someone that attractive, that successful and in his thirties still be single? He never even had a girlfriend.
It was hard not to wonder.
Rachel took a serious look at the board and finally couldn't resist stepping forward.
"Mr. Denzel, if I manage to solve this puzzle, is there any kind of reward?" The moment she said that, the others followed up quickly.
Chapter 432 +25 BONUS "Yes, there should be a reward. We can't just sit around cracking puzzles for free. This one looks seriously hard to solve." "If the prize is worth it, I'd be willing to give it my all." Jason's dark gaze landed on Rachel. He was clearly a little surprised.
There was something different about her-something refined, cool, and almost otherworldly.
More importantly, she wasn't like the others who had thick makeup on. Hers was light and freed her delicate features of any artificial glamor. There was a quiet elegance to her, like she didn't even belong in the sworld as the rest of them.
Still, Jason couldn't shake the feeling that he had seen her somewhere before.
He spoke without thinking. "Excuse me, but have we met before?" Rachel responded graciously, "Hello, Mr. Denzel. I'm Rachel Lloyd." "Rachel..." Jason murmured her name, then suddenly seemed to recall something. He looked at her with a stunned expression.
"You're-" He was just about to say it, but then his gaze drifted to a man standing not far away. Instantly, he held back.
He couldn't say it.
Tyler had kept this under wraps for years. He hadn't said anything five years ago, and how that she was back, he still wasn't saying a word. If Jason exposed anything now, who knew what kind of trouble he'd bring on himself? Tyler might just skin him alive!
But as Tyler's longtfriend, Jason figured perhaps this was the perfect opportunity. Maybe he could finally do something to push these two back together. Even as a bystander, he couldn't keep watching this play out any longer.
He just didn't get it. Tyler was always the decisive type, so efficient anch -nonsense, Why was he dragging his feet so much when it cto this? She was only a woman. Given Tyler's charm, shouldn't he have locked this down long ago? But still, if Rachel wasn't going to Tyler, why had she suddenly clooking for him? Jason crossed his arms and stared at Rachel like he was watching a spectacle.
"Ms. Lloyd, do you know how to solve this?" 2/2 Chapter 433
