Chapter 40 Spoiled By Him
“It’s true that Julian cheated on you, but haven’t you done the same? And you still have the cheek to act all righteous in front of the reporters. That night, Curt carried you into the hotel and both of you spent the night there!”
Rayna was shocked to hear those words. She did not expect Kristie to know about that. However, she quickly composed herself and said in realization, “So, you were the one who sent those pictures to Meredith?”
If that was the case, it would make sense that those photos only showed Curtis’ back.
“So what if I did it? Women like you are the worst!” Kristie did not bother to deny. “Do you think using underhand methods like sleeping with Curt would make him fall for you?”
Rayna felt a jolt of anger when she heard that.
That night, after catching Julian with his mistress, Rayna had gone to the bar in a fit of rage, intending to take revenge by sleeping with a random attractive man. However, she happened to bump into Julian’s uncle, Curtis.
Under the influence of alcohol, she picked up the courage to seduce Curtis and ended up sleeping with him. However, she regretted it immediately when she woke up the next day and did not want to have anything to do with the man. She did not expect Curtis to approach her for help subsequently and create multiple situations for them to interact with each other.
I might have taken the first step that night, but Curtis is definitely not an innocent party!
“You don’t have anything to say because you know that I’m right, isn’t it?” Seeing that Rayna did not refute her allegation, Kristie continued in an even haughtier tone, “You’re not the only one. Your sister is also another shameless b*tch!”
Taking a pause, she continued, “I don’t know who your sister had hooked up with. Not only did she snatch my resources and endorsement deal away, but she even challenged me! I’m just choosing to stay away from trouble so that Curt wouldn’t be upset with me. Otherwise, I’ll make sure your sister’s career in the entertainment industry is ruined!”
A cold glint appeared in Rayna’s eyes before she let go of Kristie’s hand and gave the woman a tight slap across her cheek.
Feeling dumbstruck by Rayna’s sudden action, Kristie touched her cheek which was slightly numb while looking at Rayna with widened eyes. “You… Did you just hit me?”
“Yup. You asked for it,” Rayna replied expressionlessly before saying coldly, “Even though you’re capable enough to gain the backing of Faymon Group, you can’t deny the fact that others might also have worked hard for their achievements.”
“Even Curt couldn’t bear to hit me. How dare you slap me!” Rayna’s words fell on deaf ears as Kristie was simply too enraged after being slapped.
The next moment, Kristie charged toward Rayna who fell to the ground as she was unable to dodge in time. Kristie continued to shriek hysterically while tugging at the other woman’s hair and pinching her face. Meanwhile, Rayna refused to be outdone, and the two women started scuffling on the floor.
The commotion in the living room attracted Curtis’ attention.
After putting on his bathrobe, the man quickly headed downstairs and saw the two women entangled in a fight. Kristie’s piercing high-pitched screams were reverberating in the air.
With a darkened expression, Curtis bellowed, “What are both of you doing!”
“Curt!” When Kristie saw Curtis, she scrambled to stand up and pointed to the side of her face that was hit by Rayna. “This woman slapped me just now! Even you can’t bear to hit me! How can she do that?”
Tears started streaming down the woman’s face as she spoke.
As Kristie was in a disheveled state with half of her face swollen, Curtis wiped her tears away before looking toward Rayna.
“Ms. Garland, care to explain what happened?”
Rayna stood on the spot and replied calmly, “Ms. Winton was unable to control her mouth and scolded both me and my sister. Besides, she was the one who attacked me first. I had only hit her to defend myself.”
“You’re lying! I didn’t hit you!” Given that Curtis did not see it, there was no way Kristie would admit to that. “You’re the one who slapped me. How can you be so shameless?”
“Kristie!” Curtis chided. With a solemn expression, he continued, “Is what she said true?”
“Of course not!” Kristie stomped her feet and replied. Noticing that the man was wearing a bathrobe, the woman tried to change the topic. “Curt, didn’t you say you don’t like her? If that’s the case, why is she here? And she’s dressed so skimpily!”
“Ms. Winton, open your eyes wide and look carefully. How is this skimpy?” Rayna pointed to the tank top she was wearing before continuing, “Look at how thick this material is. Other than my two arms, which other parts of my body are exposed?”
She then paused and continued, “Ms. Winton, aren’t you the one who’s dressed skimpily instead? The crop top you’re wearing barely covers your belly button. And look at how short your hot pants are! How can my ankle pants be compared to that?”
Kristie glared at the woman while saying, “Shut up! You have no right to speak here!”
