Dear sweetheart novel (Rayna and Julian) novel Chapter 208

Dear Sweetheart Chapter 208 Nothing To Be Sad About
Just as I expected, Mr. Lawson was murdered!
Perhaps Mathias was too terrifying. He had revealed so much that Rayna felt her limbs go slightly cold. She swayed and staggered backward, but she was quickly steadied by a pair of hands.
Looking at the person behind her, Mathias said kindly, “I’ll leave the two of you alone, Mr. Faymon.”
He left very soon.
Rayna stared at his retreating back. He’s such a cruel person, but why does he have such an affable appearance? Does he smile like this when he acts ruthlessly toward others?
She suspected that Julian might have known something about Mathias. Mathias had wanted to kill her, and he had framed Chester for it after knowing that Chester wanted to kill her as well.
What a wicked person!
Curtis called out to her a couple of times. He frowned after noticing that her arms were cold and she did not speak.
“Are you feeling unwell?”
At that moment, Jasmine approached them. She looked exquisite and elegant in a cream-colored gown.
Turning toward Curtis, she asked, “What’s the matter?”
“She’s not feeling well.” Curtis held Rayna’s shoulder, intending to send her back to get some rest. However, Rayna’s gaze darkened, and she pushed his hand away the moment she saw Jasmine.
“It’s fine. I can walk on my own.” Wanting to keep her distance from him, Rayna lifted her dress and walked away in a rush.
Curtis pursed his lips tightly.
“Ms. Garland doesn’t look well.” Jasmine gave him a sidelong glance. “Didn’t you inform her about the plans? Did the two of you break up because she thinks you’re using her?”
He did not have to reply, as she already knew the answer from the change in his expression.
Putting her hand to her forehead, Jasmine smiled. “Mr. Faymon, you’re a smart and cunning person, but you don’t even know that women hate to be deceived. Look, it has backfired, hasn’t it?”
Curtis retorted, “I can easily cancel our collaboration anytime I want, Ms. Sanders.”
“Don’t. I still need to rely on you,” Jasmine quipped. She decided to stop teasing him. “My father is willing to give me another six points of the shares, but with conditions.”
“What is it again?”
Jasmine smiled. “We have to get married so that you can help me acquire the six-point shares in Sanders Group.”
Curtis’ face clouded over. Without a second thought, he rejected her proposal. “You know very well the purpose of our engagement, Ms. Sanders. You have gotten everything that you wanted. Find another person if you want to get married.”
He would have ended the collaboration with her a long time ago if it weren’t for Theodore’s sake.
“Don’t reject me so hastily, Mr. Faymon. I will give you a huge reward. You’ve spent a lot of effort acquiring Hatchair Group, but you’re still keeping it a secret. Isn’t it solely because you want to use the opportunity to train Ms. Garland? Sanders Group received news that a high-speed railway station will be built in the eastern district of Norwal City. Once the news is announced to the public, you must know many companies will bid aggressively for the project.
“I can help Ms. Garland secretly so that Hatchair Group can get the project. Even though she has performed wonderfully in Faymon Group, she hasn’t achieved anything in Hatchair Group. It’s no surprise that everyone wants to bully her.
“However, if Ms. Garland were to acquire this project, she would gain the opportunity to learn. Moreover, she can take the chance to get to know people working in the government. Hatchair Group belongs to Faymon Group anyway. Daily new chapters upload Only On Alaniniz(dot)com If they make profits, Faymon Group will earn the profit as well.”
Curtis’ eyes darkened. It was as if he was contemplating the suggestion.
After a while, he said to Jasmine, “I will go on stage later to announce this matter. You can do anything you want with the notice after that. But there will be no wedding dress, ring, or marriage certificate. The moment you receive the shares of Sanders Group, you must immediately hold a press conference to clear things up.”
“How can you be so cruel, Mr. Faymon? I’m a well-known and very beautiful socialite in Norwal City, but I can see the look of disgust on your face,” Jasmine joked.
Curtis merely looked at the crowd and said deliberately, “Theodore is here as well.”
Jasmine shifted her gaze to look in the same direction.
The sight of a tall and cold figure standing at the corner of the hall made her heart wrenched.
She quickly recomposed herself and gave a faint smile. “I’ve broken up with him four years ago, Mr. Faymon. There’s nothing between us anymore. Are you going to end our collaboration just because both of you are friends?”
Curtis did not say anything. He left her and walked to the stage.
At that moment, Jasmine could not help herself from glancing at the man in the corner discreetly. His stern expression and cold attitude looked out of place in the bustling hall.
She walked toward him. However, she stopped after taking two steps forward and merely glanced at him.
No, I can’t go there. I need to be patient until I’ve gained everything.
She still remembered the happy look on Carl’s face when he opened his present. He had mentioned to her that he wanted his father to come back as soon as possible because he wished to go skiing with his father.
I’ve promised Carl that he will definitely meet his father during Christmas. I must keep my promise.
Jasmine backed away and disappeared into the crowd.
Meanwhile, it was true that Rayna did not feel well. Her heart was beating quickly regardless of how many times she tried to adjust her breathing. She looked as though she had just finished doing strenuous exercise.
Seeing that the cocktail reception was nearing its end and that she had socialized with the bosses, she wanted to leave. However, the lights in the hall went out suddenly, and they were left with a spotlight directed at the stage.
Curtis stood in front of the microphone. His legs, hidden underneath his pants, were long and straight. He looked just like a top model from a fashion show. Raising his glass, he gave a toast and said, “Thank you for attending the cocktail reception by Faymon Group today.” His voice was deep and solemn.
Then, he stretched his hand out to the side.
A woman lifted her gown and slowly walked toward the stage. She placed her hand on top of his hand, and they stood next to each other.
Rayna’s eyes hurt as she looked at them.
What a useless person I am! Didn’t I know very well that Curtis has used me? I’ve said before that I don’t care about Faymon Group and him.
Everyone was able to hear Curtis’ deep voice coming through the microphone. “I wish to announce something today. Ms. Sanders from Sanders Group and I have been engaged for a long time. After some discussion, we have decided to get married on the twentieth of next month. The wedding will be held in Celestial Manor, and we welcome everyone to attend it.”
A series of exclamations resounded across the place.
Many of Sanders Group’s projects had been improved during the few months after Curtis’ engagement with Jasmine. Now, it was another good news as they announced their marriage right after the reorganization of Faymon Group.
It was the dream of many young women to get married to a man who was worth hundreds of billion.
The couple smiled as they stood on the stage, while the people clapped their hands and congratulated the couple. Rayna, among the crowd, was downcast. Her heart was beating fast, and she had difficulty breathing.
Curtis and Jasmine got engaged a long time ago. It is normal for them to announce the marriage date to the public. There’s nothing to be sad about. I shouldn’t be emotional about it!
Suddenly, a tall figure appeared next to Rayna. He had a stern expression on his face and exuded a cold aura that warned people not to approach him. “Ms. Garland, let’s talk,” he said.
“Okay.” Coincidentally, Rayna wanted to leave the place as well.
Both of them walked to the corner of the hall.
In a brusque and cold manner, Theodore said, “Everything is yours.”
“You’re so generous, Mr. Xavier. Thank you.” Rayna smiled faintly. She knew that Theodore was referring to the agreement. Once Curtis and Jasmine got married, everything that was listed in the agreement would belong to her.
She did not have to do anything to gain so many things, so she should be happy about it.
Theodore leaned against the wall and asked nonchalantly, “About the kid the other day… What’s your relationship with him?”
Rayna’s heart skipped a beat. “We’re friends!”
