The Beginning Of All Sins novel (Olivia and Tyler) novel Chapter 419

Tyler acted like he didn't understand what the older man was saying. "What pictures?" He looked puzzled.

The man paused for a few seconds. Wanting to clarify things, he told the host, "Turn the power on."

The host hesitated, unsure of what to do next. Feeling pressured by the intense gaze on her, she walked over to the switch and turned on the power.

As soon as she did, the images on the computers appeared just like before.

Everyone's eyes turned to Tyler, who chuckled and said, "You scared me there. It seems there was just a mix-up with the information. The Harrises and the Pearces are family, so Claude surely wouldn't make such a funny mistake." He looked at Claude as he spoke. His smile didn't fade. "Right, Claude?"

Of course, Claude understood Tyler's game. But he kept his cool and played along, "Absolutely, Tyler. It's good to see you here. My computer must have been hacked. Those pictures got everyone confused."

"Don't worry," Tyler continued. "Did you think I forgot how much you care about Morgan? Now that Olivia's expecting, I haven't had the chance to thank you for looking after her recently, and for the gift you sent."

Then Tyler addressed everyone in the room, saying, "Don't worry. This is all just a big misunderstanding. There's no truth to the rumors."

Relief filled the crowd when they heard this.

The older man who had first spoken to Tyler said, "We're glad that's sorted out. We hope Harris Group and Yancey Bank can sort out the photos to make sure they don't cause any more confusion and trouble."

Tyler nodded. "Yes, that's a good plan. We'll take care of it." He then turned to Claude. "Everything's fine here, so I'll be going. Let's catch up soon, Claude."

Claude responded with a friendly nod and a smile, "Sure, let's get together for a meal."

Tyler gave a forced smile in return. "Sounds good."

He lingered for a moment before walking away.

Seizing the moment, Lilah spoke up, "Even though we don't know why those pictures appeared, I'm sure Mr. Harris's explanation has cleared up any doubts. This isn't what it seems. As you all know, Mr. Pearce is a kind and caring person. The Harrises and the Pearces will sort this out and clear up any confusion."

The board members felt relieved, and Angus and his group stayed quiet.

Watching the situation calm down, Claude realized this was Tyler's way of warning him not to pursue Olivia further.

Tyler was making it clear—if Claude continued, he could stir up trouble for Yancey Bank.
