Chapter 459 Jason couldn't help but chuckle softly at Rachel's calm response. He glanced at her again.
Rachel noticed his gaze lingering on her and felt a little uncomfortable. She turned her head and asked directly, "Mr. Denzel, is there something else you wanted to say to me?" Jason did have something he had been meaning to ask her. At the time, he had been so focused on helping Tyler that he hadn't paid attention to what Rachel was doing.
While driving, he casually brought it up as if they were just chatting.

He covered his mouth and coughed softly, though his eyes still gleamed with amusement.
"Look, I get it. Lots of women chase after me. Even if you fell for me, it's nothing new. But you know I'm friends with Tyler. I can't exactly go around stealing my friend's girl, right? You get what I mean?" Rachel frowned slightly. She was confused by his assumption. "Mr. Denzel, what do you mean by that? I never-" Jason cut her off. "Never what?" Rachel realized he must've misunderstood something and decided to clarify.
"Mr. Denzel, I think you've got the wrong idea. I cto you yesterday because I needed help. It's mainly because you're William's uncle. My father is facing criminal charges because of his report, so I thought maybe..." This time, it was Jason who froze. He suddenly hit the brakes.
"Wait, what did you say? I'm William's uncle?" Rachel's expression stiffened as well. "Aren't you?" Jason laughed helplessly. "William's uncle? Ms. Lloyd, you're really puttingin a tough spot. I wouldn't dare claim that title!" If he were William's uncle, Tyler would probably kill him.
Rachel's brain kicked into gear as she tried to make sense of it. "So you're saying, you're not William's uncle?" Jason finally couldn't hold back his laughter. "Of course not! I'm only twenty-two. William's twenty-eight. There's a six-year age gap between us!" 1/2 Chapter 459 +15 BONUS Rachel had thought about that. But in sfamilies, seniority wasn't about age; it was about the generation one was born into. So she hadn't given it much thought.
Still in disbelief, she asked again, "Mr. Denzel, are you really not lying to me? Are you not William's uncle?" Her stubborn tone amused him even more. “I swear I'm not. I've got no reason to lie." Rachel started thinking back to everything that had happened the night before. Her scalp tingled.
If she had mistaken Jason for William's uncle and dended up in bed with him he still wouldn't have been able to help her in the end. She didn't even want to imagine the consequences. Honestly, she felt like she should thank Tyler for picking her up last night.
Just picturing herself waking up next to Jason, only to realize he wasn't William's uncle, and then getting rejected-it made her stomach turn. She hesitated before asking Jason, "Mr. Denzel, do you happen to know who William's uncle actually is?" She figured Jason and William were in the scircle. He should know.
Jason looked hesitant, clearly aware that Tyler hadn't revealed his identity to Rachel yet, Sinde Tyler hadn't said anything, there was no way Jason was going to spill the beans. Chapter 460 +15 BONUS
