Chapter 153 Never Found You A Disturbance
“Wow. She’s so adorable, and her nickname, Jessie, is as cute as she is! It’s befitting her!” Wyatt grinned. “I promise I’ll help your brother find a prettier woman!”
Rayna retorted, “Why don’t you find one for yourself?”
“Because I’m a devoted person. It was love at first sight with Jessie for me! I’m attracted to her.”
Giving him the once-over, she snorted. “How many women have you told that to? Is this the sixtieth?”
“What do you mean by that? Do I look like a playboy to you?” he grumbled before opening the door to the driver’s seat and pushing her in. “Darling, the car is yours to drive now!”
Rayna furrowed her brows in displeasure. “Don’t be so disgusting! I’m going to vomit!”
Wyatt was a shameless man, so there was no way she could win in the squabble against him. As a result, she could only be the driver while he sat in the back seat, chatting excitedly with Jessica to learn about her likes and dislikes.
Even when they arrived at Curtis’ mansion, Wyatt was still talking nonstop. Once he found out Jessica was a fan of a particular clothing brand, he instantly responded that he would get two tickets to the fashion show from his friend.
Rayna pulled open the car door. With a smile that did not reach her eyes, she said, “Mr. Lopez, can you be even more shameless than this?”
“I’m chatting with Jessica. How is this shameless?”
“I don’t think he’s shameless. In fact, I think he’s quite sociable!” Jessica had never dated before, so she was blinded by Wyatt’s sweet words. “Though he’s dressed like a flamboyant peacock,” she added a beat later.
At that instant, Wyatt decided he would not wear another piece of clothing from that brand anymore.
Rayna had not returned the access card to Curtis since the last time she came over to take care of him. However, she was afraid of causing a misunderstanding, so she trailed behind Wyatt with the bag of supplements and let him unlock the door.
There was a faint scent of sandalwood in the living room. Curtis did not appear to be present, despite the pleasant aroma.
Noticing that Wyatt was still sticking to Jessica, Rayna rolled her eyes and changed out of her shoes. Just as she was about to place the supplements down, she heard people conversing.
At that discovery, she walked toward the bar, where she found two housekeepers chatting while leaning against the counter. It seemed like they did not spot Rayna. “Say, is Mr. Faymon’s leg really beyond saving?” one asked.
“Yeah,” the other whispered. “From what I’ve heard, he won’t be able to walk anymore. How pitiful. He’s still so young, yet he will be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.”
“I know! What’s the point in having a lot of money if you can’t walk?”
“I’m guessing the daughter of the Sanders family will break off the engagement with Mr. Faymon sooner or later. After all, no one would want to marry a disabled person.”
The two housekeepers gossiped unscrupulously, their harsh words piercing Rayna’s heart like a knife.
Uncle Curtis would be devastated if he heard this. Hasn’t he suffered enough?
An inexplicable sense of rage surged up within Rayna, and she placed the bag of supplements heavily on the bar.
The loud noise caused the two housekeepers to turn around, and they jumped in fright at the sight of Rayna.
They had watched the news, so naturally, they knew Rayna was the current acting CEO of Faymon Group.
Trembling, they said fearfully, “M-Ms. Garland—”
Rayna sneered. “I wouldn’t dare to be called such. You may address me as Ms. Garland, but who knows what you’re talking about me behind my back?”
The faces of the two housekeepers turned ghastly pale.
Rayna continued frostily, “You two are fired. Pack your things and leave!”
One of the housekeepers immediately begged for mercy in a panic. “M-Ms. Garland, we know what we did wrong. Please forgive us. We promise never to do that again.”
“I don’t want to repeat my words. No matter how capable you are, it’s not of interest to me. I hate people who gossip behind other people’s backs,” Rayna replied unceremoniously, her countenance turning cold.
Wyatt walked over and asked curiously, “What did they do to anger you so much?”
