Dear Sweetheart Chapter 178 No Match For You
“Y-You…” Chester stammered, unable to finish his sentence. He could only watch Curtis and Rayna leave. A metallic taste filled his mouth as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Chester!” Sienna rushed forward to help him. “Are you all right?”
“That brat!” Chester vociferated, his chest heaving up and down with rage. I can’t believe Alfred’s adoptive son would push me to this point. Worse, I have to sacrifice Jason’s arm.
Sienna whispered, “You know how much Alfred values children. He must feel awful after losing his grandson. Besides, he clearly favors that adopted son. There’s nothing we can do about it.”
Chester roared, “I must take my revenge!”
“This way, please.” The bodyguard walked over. “Decide if you want to amputate your arm or your son’s so that the doctor can start preparing the anesthetic.”
Hearing that, Chester almost spewed another mouthful of blood. He shut his eyes before shoving Sienna away and walking upstairs.
After getting shot twice, Jason was still in a coma. Even without anesthetic, he would not feel the pain of having his arm severed. Chester’s face twitched when he saw his beloved son’s battered state.
He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and took out his phone to make a call.
When the call was picked up, Chester said through gritted teeth, “Tell Mr. Hamilton that I’m willing to sell all of Faymon Group’s shares at a low price to him. However, he must promise me something in return.”
Meanwhile, Rayna was still in a daze when she left the residence. She felt as though she was having a dream.
Now I know what it means to be an actor!
She was impressed by how Curtis had kept going until Chester was rendered speechless. In the end, the latter was so furious that he coughed up blood. She had never witnessed such dramatic scenes in her life.
Noticing Rayna was spacing out, Curtis asked, “What’s on your mind? Have you not come to your senses yet?”
“Why are you asking so many questions? I need time to digest everything.” Rayna shot him a look before moving two steps to the side. “I think I should stay away from you. I’m no match for you.”
Curtis let out a light chuckle and reached out to pull her to sit on his lap. “Didn’t you learn anything?”
Rayna inhaled deeply. “Seriously? What can I learn from this?”
“You can learn many things. What kind of tactic you should use when dealing with certain people, for example? If you spare him, he will think you’re a coward.”
I suppose he’s right.
Rayna recalled when Jason had bullied her, he had arrogantly declared that Curtis would not dare to do anything to him.
Nevertheless, she was still a little concerned. “Didn’t you see how furious Chester was? He’s going to retaliate against you in the future for cutting off his son’s arm. Also, you shouldn’t have lied to your dad.”
Curtis narrowed his eyes at her remark. “How self-righteous of you.”
“No, that’s not it.” Rayna waved a dismissive hand. “What I mean is, we could have gotten someone to cut off his arm secretly. You shouldn’t have acted so arrogantly. After all, you aren’t in good health either.”
“I want to make them remember so they won’t dare to touch my people again. To my dad, blood is thicker than water. He wants to let Jason off the hook, so I can’t do anything about it.”
Rayna furrowed her brows. “I’m afraid that the car accident will happen again. It will put you in danger.”
Besides, that car accident was not accidental either.
There was a glint in Curtis’ eyes. Sienna had planned the car accident. However, he was the one who lured Sienna into a trap in the end. Rayna had been kept in the dark regarding this matter.
If she finds out the truth, will she understand me? Or will she be mad at me?
As Curtis pondered about it, he could not help but feel frustrated. Pursing his lips, he called out, “Rayna.”
“Mr. Faymon, I know what you want to say.”
Curtis froze at her words.
