Chapter 193 Heartless Woman

With a half smile on her face, Rayna said, “Excuse me, ladies. If you want to gossip, could you have at least waited for me to enter the elevator before doing that? Or are you intentionally saying it for me to hear?”

“S-Sorry,” one of the receptionists stammered.

“I have already noted down your employee numbers!” Rayna glanced at their name tags before letting out a cold snort and turning to leave.

She was going to file a complaint about their behavior after she went up.

Upon returning to the presidential suite, Rayna ignored Curtis and started washing her diamond pendant with soap. She only wore it back on after making sure that there was no more odd smell. Then, she carefully put the yellow diamond necklace aside, intending to return it to Jefferson when she had the chance.

When Curtis came over to look for the woman, he cast a glance at the diamond pendant that was hanging on her neck before asking, “Which room is mine?”

“Choose whichever room you like!” Rayna said before continuing, “It’s the last day anyway. There’s no problem even if you want to switch rooms every hour.”

“I don’t like sleeping in other people’s room.”

Only then did Rayna realize that the man was afraid that he might end up picking Jefferson’s room. Feeling amused, she said, “You can check every room to see if his belongings are there.”

As she spoke, she pushed open the door to Jefferson’s room.

Rayna froze at what she saw. The room was extremely clean and neat. Not only were there no clothes hung on the rack, but there was also nothing on the desk as well. It was as if no one had been staying there. “Why…”

This is unmistakenly Jefferson’s room. Why are his belongings all gone?

Is he not intending to come back?

Curtis said placidly, “Didn’t you guys agree on seven days? It’s not surprising that he had left.”

“How did you know about that?” Rayna turned to look at the man.

The seven-day agreement between Rayna and Jefferson was made privately between just the both of them. Curtis was not supposed to know about it.

“He was the one who picked up when I called you previously,” Curtis said. “He told me that the two of you were going to tour Hallsbay for seven days. I know your character very well. I came over because I guessed that you did that to get back Faymon Group’s shares.”

Rayna immediately checked her call log but was unable to find any records of the call from Curtis that day. Most likely, Jefferson had deleted it.

“Why did he leave without a word?” Rayna frowned. “He hasn’t given me Faymon Group’s shares yet.”

“That’s fine. It wouldn’t affect Faymon Group in any way.”

Rayna shook her head and replied, “No. Jefferson is a man of his word. If he promised to give me the shares, he would definitely do it. He must have left because something urgent cropped up.”

Curtis’ expression darkened before he replied, “If you understand him so well, why were you still hurt by him?”

Rayna twitched her lips, realizing that she might not know Jefferson that well after all.

“I’m going to bed now,” Curtis said coldly before walking into the room next door.

Rayna let out a sigh and was about to return to her room when she heard a dull thud coming from Curtis’ room.

She knocked on the door immediately while asking, “Uncle… Mr. Faymon, are you all right?”

“I’m fine.”

From the tone of Curtis’ voice, it was obvious that he was trying to suppress something. Given that the man had just entered the room, Rayna assumed that he had not showered yet. As such, she pushed open the door, and immediately, she saw him sprawling on the floor, his wheelchair overturned next to him.

It was a rather miserable sight to behold.

Rayna rushed forward to help Curtis up at once. That was the first time she saw him fall. “How did you fall?”

“How would I know?” the man replied in a frosty tone.

As Curtis was theoretically a patient, Rayna did not want to bicker with him. By the looks of the situation, it seemed as if the man was on his way to the bathroom. Hence, Rayna said, “The bathroom here is not the same as the one in your house. Should I get an attendant to help you?”

“No need!”

“All right, all right, if you insist.” Rayna rolled her eyes and continued petulantly, “I’ll wheel you over then. You can handle the rest yourself. If you need help, just give me a shout.”

What a prideful man!

Rayna felt Curtis’ muscular biceps while helping him back into his wheelchair. However, noticing his slender frame, she suddenly remembered her earlier thought.

The woman moved her hand toward Curtis’ back and said smilingly, “Mr. Faymon, I’ll just carry you to the bathroom. It’s faster that way.”

1The man’s expression changed when he heard that.

Before Curtis could object, Rayna had already bent forward and picked him up. However, he was much heavier than Rayna expected. As such, before she could take a step forward, she lost her balance and fell.

Both of them ended up toppling over on the carpet.

“Why are you so heavy?” Rayna could feel her hand aching from the fall as she propped herself up with much effort and climbed off Curtis. The next moment, she banged her forehead against the man’s chest.

Curtis frowned and replied, “I’ve never said that I was light.”

“But look at you! You’re all skin and bones…” Rayna muttered. Just then, she noticed that the man’s shirt was slightly ripped open from the fall and saw what was underneath. Swallowing the rest of her unfinished sentence, she said, “D*mn that shirt!”

At that instant, Rayna felt extremely awkward. Moreover, she was unable to exert any force with her hands as they were cramping. Looking up at the man, she said, “Mr. Faymon, can you kindly help me up?”

Trying his best to tamp down his anger, Curtis grabbed Rayna by her collar and tried to lift her up.

When Rayna was trying to stand up, she accidentally brushed her hand against the man’s trousers.

She looked toward Curtis at once.

The man froze for a second. Staring at the woman’s flawless face, he gulped subconsciously. “What are you waiting for? Are you having fun feeling me up?”

“I’m standing up!” With a sudden surge of adrenaline, Rayna pushed herself up and distanced herself from Curtis, her face flushed red with embarrassment.

When did Uncle Curtis become such a pervert?

When Rayna was checking out of the hotel the next day, she inquired about Jefferson from the receptionist and found out that he did not return to the hotel the previous night. It seemed like he had indeed left.

When she recalled her dance with Jefferson, Rayna’s arm suddenly twitched. There was something amiss about what the man had said to her as well as his hasty departure.

However, she was unable to pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

“Ms. Garland.”

When Rayna was about to wheel Curtis out of the hotel, they were approached by a tough-looking man who exuded a cold aura.

The man, who seemed like a bodyguard, said to Rayna, “I’m Ringo, Mr. Hamilton’s bodyguard. Can I talk to you in private?”

“I’ll wait for you outside,” Curtis said before wheeling himself outside, giving them some space to talk.

“Where did Jefferson go?” Rayna asked.

“Mr. Hamilton had something to attend to,” Ringo replied coldly as he passed a document to the woman. “Mr. Hamilton wanted me to pass this to you,” he continued.

Rayna flipped open the document and saw that it was a share transfer agreement for Faymon Group’s shares.

Jefferson had kept his promise of transferring his shares of Faymon Group to Rayna unconditionally.

“Please thank him for me.”

Ringo stared at the woman coldly as a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes. “Ms. Garland, do you even have a heart?”

A crease appeared between Rayna’s brows when she heard that. “What do you mean?” she asked.

Ringo replied, “You’re such a heartless woman. How can you have a change of heart so easily? Do you know how much Mr. Hamilton has sacrificed for you? Rayna, this will be your greatest regret in life. You should stick to Curtis like glue.” The man paused and inched closer to Rayna before continuing in a menacing tone, “Because I will grab any opportunity I can to kill you.”

What a cold-hearted woman. How can she continue being so happy when someone is living in misery because of her?

The bodyguard left after saying that, leaving Rayna standing rooted to the ground, feeling confused.

Jefferson’s bodyguard seemed very hostile toward me. Why is that so?

Rayna had an uneasy feeling in her heart. Before she boarded the plane, she tried calling Jefferson but was directed to voicemail instead.

“Sorry. The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.”

He switched off his phone? From NôvelDrama.Org.

Meanwhile, Curtis had just finished a phone call. When he saw Rayna after he returned, there was an unfathomable glint in his eyes. However, he did not say anything, and both of them proceeded to board the plane.

Soon, the plane landed at Norwal City Airport.

Rayna did not expect to see Kristie and James at the airport to pick them up. She was even more surprised that Kristie had not disguised herself. The corners of her mouth twitched before she said, “Have you forgotten that you’re a celebrity? Why are you sashaying around the airport?”
