Smiling, she explained further, “Rachel, I'm not doubting your and Mr. Hunt's innocence. I'm just curious. I don't know much about it, and only heard about it on TV." Her words deliberately pushed Rachel into the eye of the storm.
Samantha was no stranger to the birds and the bees. Everyone knew that ordinary people would find it nearly impossible to overcthe effects of such aphrodisiacs. 1 Although William didn't ask any further, the look in his eyes made it clear that he was waiting for Rachel's response.

She had to get past this as calmly as she could manage.
Rachel took a deep breath and tilted her head to look at William.
"Others might not be able to resist the effects of the drug, but you know Tyler and how mind-boggling his tolerance level is. You can't compare him with normal people." Rachel knew how risky her answer was. In fact, the alternative of telling a fib would probably have been a safer option.

She would rather tell the truth. Aside from one particular detail, she had no qualms about telling William everything else.

In that regard, Tyler was no human but a beast instead.
He was capable of things beyond human ability in many aspects, tolerating things many others found impossible. He tolerated not by compromising his standards, but by being excellent at adapting to situations.
Rachel had no clue about the background of William's relationship with Tyler, but each tshe mentioned Tyler, she could clearly sense something amiss in William's mood.
Silence ensued in the room. William's face fell, but he kept quiet, his silence a form of torment to Rachel.

She had already sold everything she could in return for cash.
In the road ahead of her, she had only herself to rely on. Cash was something she sorely needed.
