His Precious Love Chapter 198

Chapter 198 I Will Not Make Things Easy For You

“Rayna, what did you do to my son?” Strangling Rayna’s neck, she dug her nails fiercely into her flesh. “You have so many tricks up your sleeves! You already hooked up with Curtis. Why did you still want to harm Julian?”

Rayna could barely breathe, and her neck was bleeding from Rolanda’s nails. Still, she didn’t resist.

Gabriel happened to enter the place and saw Rolanda’s crazy act. He immediately rushed over and yanked her away, defending Rayna. “Ms. Macpherson, please calm down. Ms. Garland is innocent.”

“My son is dead. Look! He’s lying right here!” Rolanda pointed at the dead Julian on the stretcher. “My son died because of this woman. I want her to pay for his life!”

Once again, she went raving mad and pounced on Rayna, wanting to rip her into shreds.

Gabriel didn’t allow Rolanda to do so and summoned a few people to take her outside. Then, he said to Rayna, “Ms. Garland, I’ll investigate this matter thoroughly. Let me send you back first.”

Rayna asked, “You knew about Curtis’ plan. That’s why you went to Norham. Am I right?”

“Yes.”

“So Mr. Xavier and the others came back from Norham because they knew about the plan, too?”

“Yes.”

“Haha! It turned out so many people were in the loop, and I was the only person who was kept in the dark about it.” Rayna laughed self-deprecatingly for deluding herself even though she could roughly surmise what had happened. “What a fool I am!”

Gabriel couldn’t help but comment, “Ms. Garland, actually, Mr. Faymon —”

“Take me to Curtis!” Rayna interrupted him before he could finish his words. She cast a glance at Julian’s body and turned to leave.

Upon seeing that, Gabriel heaved a sigh and hurried behind her.

Since Curtis was still at Faymon Group, Gabriel took Rayna there. As soon as the media saw her, they surrounded her and wanted to interview her.

Rayna rudely shoved them aside and went straight to the interview room.

Meanwhile, the interview room was fully occupied. Sienna and Curtis were being interviewed when the door was suddenly pushed open. Sienna, who was soaked all over, stood at the doorway with a gloomy expression.

She gazed at Curtis and said in a hoarse voice, “Mr. Faymon, we need to talk.”

A hint of displeasure flashed across Sienna’s eyes as she reprimanded, “Ms. Garland, can’t you see what’s going on here? How can you barge in and ruin Faymon Group’s image?”

“Who do you think you are?” Rayna sneered at her and turned to leave.

Her words shocked the crowd in the interview room. Gosh! This former acting CEO of Faymon Group is way too arrogant. How dare she speak to Ms. Sienna like that?

Sienna’s face clouded over.

If she had known that Rayna was one with a temper, she would have sent someone to give her a lesson.

“Aunt Sienna, I’ve already said what I need to say. I’ll be taking my leave now.” With that, Curtis left.

Rayna waited for Curtis in the CEO’s office.

When she saw him arrive in a wheelchair, she couldn’t help but scoff at the irony of the situation. She walked over, propped her hands on the wheelchair, and stared into the man’s eyes. “Since when?”

“After I came back from Tyrandas.” Curtis said calmly, “Rayna, I didn’t treat you as a pawn. You’re smart. I merely think there are things that you can handle perfectly.”

“If you didn’t use me as a pawn, why did you hide it from me alone then? What a nice way of putting it, Mr. Faymon,” Rayna said sarcastically as she squeezed the wheelchair handle, unable to suppress the anger in her heart.

“All of this could have been avoided. How could you be so cruel? Do you know how I felt when Julian died in my arms? I owe him a favor that can never be returned.” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She had divorced Julian to make it up to him.

Little did she expect the man would be so foolish as to protect her and lose his life for nothing.

It wasn’t worth it at all! Not at all!

Rayna couldn’t help but shudder at that thought. Warm tears began to stream down her cheeks. “Curtis, I would have helped you if you told me about it.”

“I didn’t expect Chester to lay a hand on you.” Seeing how emotional Rayna was, Curtis knew that he would lose something dear to him if he didn’t provide a clear explanation.

In fact, he didn’t expect Julian to take the shot for Rayna.

“You were so ruthless to Jason. Chester could even give Jefferson Faymon Group’s shares just to avenge Jason. There’s nothing he won’t do,” said Rayna tearfully, her voice hoarse.

She didn’t look for Curtis that day to argue with him.

There was no need for her to do that, either.

She wiped away her tears and took a deep breath before calmly asking, “You promised to fulfill my three requests at the hotel in Tyrandas back then. Is that promise still valid, Mr. Faymon?”

Curtis appeared tense when he heard that. After some time, he nodded. “Yes. That promise will always be valid.”

“Good.” Rayna then stated, “First, I want you to apologize to me now.”

The look in her eyes was cold, and she didn’t look like she was joking at all.

“I’m sorry,” Curtis apologized.

“Second.” Rayna fixated her gaze on him and enunciated, “Despite Julian’s identity, I want you guys to acknowledge him as part of the family and bury his body in the Faymon family cemetery. All the Faymons must offer their condolences to him on the day of his funeral.”

“No problem.”

“Thirdly, the Faymons will support Julian’s mother unconditionally until she passes away.”

“Sure,” Curtis agreed to all three requests mentioned by Rayna.

“Thank you for being so decisive, Mr. Faymon.” Rayna then asked Gabriel to prepare a resignation letter for her.

“Go ahead,” Curtis ordered.

Soon, a resignation letter with Sienna’s signature was sent to the CEO’s office.

Now that Faymon Group’s ownership had changed, Rayna would also be considered Curtis’ former employee. As such, Sienna would be more than glad to approve her resignation.

Rayna signed the latter without hesitation and flashed Curtis a smile. “From now on, I have nothing to do with Faymon Group or you. I wish you a bright and successful future, Mr. Faymon.”

As she walked to the door, a thought suddenly flashed across her mind, and she gazed down at the diamond pendant around her neck.

The pendant was still glowing as brilliantly as always.

She tugged it forcefully and handed it to Gabriel, pursing her pale lips. “I finally know its meaning today. It turns out I’ve been delusional all this while.”

The word “new life” is never referring to me.

The sight of Rayna, who was drenched all over, walking away in despair caused Curtis’ heart to clench. He was distressed and regretful.

Although he shouldn’t have any weaknesses in his current position, he seemed to have one now.

“Mr. Faymon, you have a call.” Gabriel handed the phone to Curtis as he spoke. “It’s an unknown number.”

Curtis took the phone and answered it.

“What a genius you are, Mr. Faymon. You even gave Faymon Group to your enemy.” Jefferson’s laugh rang out on the other end of the line. “I’m upset with the news today.”

“How did you correspond with Julian?” Curtis asked calmly.

Jefferson cleared his throat before replying. “Mr. Faymon, a lie is a lie. Everything will be exposed sooner or later. It’s always easy to gain a woman’s sympathy as well as hate. I never wanted to use Julian. He saw the news and took the initiative to contact me. You see, the internal strife within the Faymon family is too interesting. Since Rayna is already dragged into the matter, I don’t mind involving another person.”

Curtis snickered. “I have suffered losses, and so do you. This scheme of yours had given Julian an opportunity. Rayna will feel guilty for the rest of her life.”

“So what? He’s already dead anyway.” Jefferson chuckled, unfazed. “Since I was unforgivable for lying, I won’t make things easy for you either.”
