His Precious Love novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206 Upset And Uneasy
“You need to understand. Curtis, despite his age, has little experience with women. You’re the first woman he’s ever been so taken with. I hope you can forgive him and his irrational behavior.”
Rayna stood up and replied calmly, “Old Mr. Faymon, it’s getting late. I have to go.”
She politely bade her farewell.
Curtis had been waiting outside the living room the entire time. When he noticed Rayna coming down the stairs, he pushed his wheelchair over to her and stated, “Let me give you a ride.”
Rayna glanced at him coldly. “No, it’s fine. It’s not convenient for you to move around, Mr. Faymon.”
Curtis was upset and uneasy after hearing her words. He didn’t like it when Rayna wasn’t smiling.
He grabbed her when he saw her turning to leave.
“Mr. Faymon, do you need something?” Rayna asked.
“I apologize for the car accident.” Curtis, who was always high and mighty, got off his high horse for the first time. “I abused your trust. What can I do to make you forgive me?”
Rayna pushed his hand away and smiled coldly. “There’s no need for that. I’ve already received your apology long ago.”
Before she left, she added, “Mr. Faymon, Julian died because of me. I should be the one who feels guilty and avenges him. I hope you don’t intervene in this matter.”
She did not need Curtis’ help.
When Rayna walked out, she met Jeremy and Wyatt. She ignored Wyatt’s greeting and walked away.
Wyatt was astonished. “She’s so cold. She’s not excited to see me anymore.”
Jeremy rolled his eyes at him in response.
Upon entering the house, they immediately noticed Curtis. His lips were pursed as he stared at the door with a complicated expression.
Jeremy took a box out of his pocket and handed it to Curtis. “How about you forget about what happened today? You can try this medicine and test its effects since you haven’t eaten it before.”
Curtis shot him a sharp glare. “I’m not in the mood to joke with you.”
“I’m not joking.”
Curtis did not reply him.
Wyatt approached him and tutted. “Curtis is heartbroken. He keeps insisting that he doesn’t care about Rayna, yet he’s remorseful because she now despises him after he used her.”
Curtis stared at him with a deadpan look.
Wyatt could feel the murderous aura emanating from Curtis. He backed away quickly and smiled sheepishly. “It’s the truth. You lied to her.”
Jeremy muttered, “Don’t worry, Curtis. Even if Rayna leaves you, you still have Ms. Sanders. Didn’t Rayna congratulate you and Ms. Sanders?”
Curtis thought about Kristie’s interview and how she had referred to Jasmine. “There I was wondering how Kristie could say such words. Is it not fun enough for you?”
Jeremy replied, “That’s right. Rayna seems unaffected by it. On the other hand, you seem heavily affected by it since you signed numerous documents wrongly during those few days.”
Wyatt folded his arms and scoffed, “Theodore is a liar. He said that the letters didn’t matter and wanted to remove them. In the end, they’re still on his finger. A man’s word can never be trusted!”
Jeremy glanced at him. “Did you do some surgery I didn’t know of? Where’s your ample bosom?”
“Damn you! I’m a real man!”
“I didn’t get you guys here to talk nonsense.” Curtis’ expression darkened. He seemed frightening.
Jeremy stopped joking and said matter-of-factly, “Theodore has already signed the documents with Mr. Snyder, so it’s settled. What do you plan to do with Chester?”
Wyatt chimed in, “I’ve prepared all the documents. I’m waiting for your instructions now.”
“Pass it to Rayna. Julian died because of her. She wants to avenge him personally,” Curtis stated. He felt slightly uncomfortable with how much Rayna seemed to care for Julian.
Wyatt was jealous. “If I can meet a woman like her, I’m willing to die for her.”
Jeremy nudged him hard with his elbow.
Curtis fell silent. He pressed his hand against his chest as he felt a pang in his heart.
He did not understand why he would care so much about Rayna. Why do I feel so regretful and heartbroken about doing these things? Rayna is not even that outstanding.
Rayna asked James to investigate Chester as she wanted to collect evidence of his crimes. She also gladly accepted the documents Wyatt passed to her.
These documents not only consisted of Chester’s shell company and the money he had taken from the investors, but they also contained evidence of him using subpar materials for the project he was doing with the government. She had all the dirt on him.
She even had Chester’s current whereabouts.
Rayna used three million to sign a contract with a media team and passed them all this information.
A while after, the news of Chester bullying a minor in a clubhouse and causing the latter’s death broke out in Norwal City. This resulted in his arrest that night. Soon after, news of his charges of embezzlement of company funds blew up.
The court in Norwal City reviewed and evaluated the evidence thoroughly. With compelling evidence of his crimes coupled with his causing a minor’s death, the court did not give him a chance to appeal and sentenced him to death.
The death penalty was to be executed immediately.
When Rayna received news of this, a smile finally bloomed on her face.
Julian, I have avenged you.
Chester’s crimes naturally affected Faymon Group. Although Sienna tried her best, she could not save it. Faymon Group announced its bankruptcy a month later and was bought over by Majesty.
Before the city could take a breather, Sienna’s former company selling phony medicine and causing many children’s deaths to her having intimate connections with many people to extend her network came to light.
All this news was even more outrageous than Chester’s.
Even though Sienna had hired the best lawyers to defend her, the evidence of her crimes was irrefutable, and she was sentenced to twenty years in jail.
Faymon Group, which Majesty had acquired, started to recover slowly. Its stock price started to turn around, and its factories began operations again. When Curtis appeared in front of the public without a wheelchair, the public presumed he had recovered.
After a month, Faymon Group made an announcement thanking Majesty for its help. Everyone finally realized that Faymon Group was no longer a subsidiary of Majesty, as Curtis was now its largest shareholder.
The public was in turmoil over this news.
A company worth hundreds of billions had changed its largest shareholder three times in one year. It had also experienced bankruptcy and acquisition before it returned to the Faymon family’s hands.
It was too bizarre!
Many news media reported on Faymon Group’s legacy. However, Rayna did not care much about it and only briefly took a glance at this news.
She had begun looking for work after the matter with Chester was resolved.
As she had worked in Faymon Group previously, her resume was impressive. She quickly found a job in a famous company in Norwal City.
She had first applied for a translation job. However, the CEO said to her, “Ms. Garland, it’s a bit of an overkill for you to be a translator. I understand what you have done at Faymon Group, and you have great capabilities. I believe it will be easy for you to take over my position.”
As the vice CEO of the company had just been transferred to an overseas subsidiary, there was an open position. Rayna joined the company as its vice CEO after checking that the remuneration was reasonable.
She did not know that all this was part of Curtis’ doing.
“Ms. Garland.” Rayna was arranging the documents when her assistant knocked on the door and came in. “Mr. Chambers has something on and has boarded the plane at six to Jadeborough. He said to let you handle the cocktail reception tonight.”
Rayna hummed in acknowledgment. She knew it was usual for the industry to organize these cocktail receptions. It was meant for people to network through eating and chatting.
It shouldn’t be a problem to spend some time there.
She was focused on her work and didn’t hear her assistant’s words clearly. She didn’t know it was not a typical cocktail reception. It was specially organized by Faymon Group.
