Chapter 177 What A Superb Plan
“Uncle Alfred, I’m not spouting nonsense,” Brooklyn stated calmly. “Rayna has been keeping an eye on Curtis after her divorce. Aren’t you curious about that? I even found out that she went to the bar to seduce Curtis before the divorce.”
Upon hearing that, Rayna grew apprehensive. Damn! How did Brooklyn find out about that?
Curtis remained unruffled as he watched Brooklyn take out a document from her bag and hand it over to Alfred. “Uncle Alfred, take a look. They even went to the hotel.” Brooklyn continued to add fuel to the flames. “Julian was wrong for cheating on her. She could have just divorced him. However, she waited for Curtis at the bar with revenge in mind. What a scheming woman.”
After flipping through that document, Alfred shifted his gaze to Curtis. “Is this real?” If what she said was true, it’d be all over.
Irrespective of the fact that Julian and Curtis were related, the behavior of Rayna going to the bar to seduce Curtis was despicable because she and Julian had not divorced yet at that time.
Rayna grew anxious as she noticed the severity of the matter to Curtis.
When she was about to bear the responsibility for it, Curtis tightened his grip on her hand and answered, “No.”
Brooklyn’s face clouded over. “Curtis, you’re lying! Stop covering up for this woman!”
“I was still on the plane that day, so how could I be at the bar?” Curtis’ thin lips curled up slightly. “If you don’t believe me, you can look for the secretary to check my itinerary. Besides, how could you assume that’s me by judging the back profile alone? Perhaps Rayna and Julian had a fight, then Julian went to the bar to find her before they went to the hotel.”
“No way! He’s cheated on Rayna, so why would he go look for her? Even if you’re not the man in the photo, Rayna still had an affair as a married woman! The Faymon family can’t accept a woman like her!”
“Are you and Rayna friends?” Curtis asked patiently.
Brooklyn glanced at Rayna in disgust. “Who in the world would want to be friends with a woman like her?”
“Then you have no idea about her personality,” Curtis uttered nonchalantly. “Julian had cheated on Rayna, but he still had to placate her as she was his wife.”
“Curtis, you’re—”
“Let’s figure it out by asking Julian.” Curtis whipped out his phone. “After all, surveillance footage can be faked. I don’t believe what you’ve said, and the others may not trust my words.”
The call was connected shortly after.
Curtis cut straight to the chase and asked Julian, “Julian, where were you that night? I heard that Rayna went to the bar, and a man took her away. Do you have any idea who he is?”
Rayna’s heart lodged in her throat. She felt nervous and uneasy. Why is he asking Julian about this? What if Julian refuses to cooperate?
“It’s me.” Everyone heard Julian’s words because the phone speaker was turned on. “That night was our first wedding anniversary. We wanted to celebrate it together, but she found out about me cheating on her, so she went to the bar out of anger. After knowing that, I hurried over to look for her. Unexpectedly, she got wasted, so we spent the night at the hotel.”
“Julian!” Brooklyn nearly exploded in anger because he had ruined her perfect plan. “How could you put in a good word for Rayna after how she has treated you? Why didn’t you tell the truth?”
“I’m telling the truth. You all can investigate it as you please.”
Curtis hung up the phone and stared at Brooklyn, who had a grim expression, coldly. “Brooklyn, do you still have anything to say now that Julian has admitted he was the one who brought Rayna to the hotel that night?”
Brooklyn looked around before she fixated her gaze on Rolanda.
