Chapter 128 Curtis Pranks His Friends

“Hey, don’t forget to share it with me!” Sienna said with a chuckle.

“Haha! As if I’d forget about you, my dear sister!”

Meanwhile, the employees of Faymon Group were losing their minds after receiving the official notice of Rayna’s appointment as acting CEO.

After all, Rayna did go from being a mere manager to the acting CEO of Faymon Group. That was bound to draw a lot of attention to herself. Some of the employees even uploaded the documents online to cause yet another drop in Faymon Group’s shares.

Little did they know, their response was exactly what Rayna wanted.

Rather than having the shareholders and the public focus on Curtis’ condition, she preferred to have everyone’s attention on her as it would make things a lot easier.

Faymon Group’s legal team was able to divert some of the public’s attention from Curtis’ car accident by exploiting some loopholes. Rayna then held a press conference and announced to the press that she would temporarily be in charge of Faymon Group. She then left the rest to the company’s Public Relations Department while she focused on the previous issue with the food products.

In order to resolve Faymon Group’s issues, Rayna had to do a lot of traveling around and barely got any sleep. Jessica, on the other hand, often stayed in the office to help her go through tons of documents.

She had just made her fourth cup of coffee for the night when she suddenly received a text message. After reading through its contents, she hurried over to Rayna’s office to show it to her. “Nana! I’ve got it!

Mr. Wilde has gotten himself into big trouble this time. It’s bound to draw lots of attention if word gets out about it!”

“Let me see…” Rayna took the phone over and scrolled through the message as she continued, “Whoa… His entire family changed their nationality after he embezzled three billion from ZF Corporation’s funds?”

Rayna was so shocked by the news that she fell silent for a few minutes.

After taking a moment to recompose herself, she turned toward Jessica and asked, “This is top secret stuff. How did you get this information?”

“Your brother sent it to me, of course! You weren’t answering his calls, so he called me and asked if you were busy. He also said he saw you all over the news. I told him that Faymon Group is in a lot of trouble and needs something to divert the public’s attention. He said he would try to figure something out. Man, your brother sure is amazing! I can’t wait to see him in person!” Jessica replied with a giggle.

Rayna smiled and nodded. “Yeah, he is indeed amazing.”

She truly felt proud of having such a capable brother.

Rayna then contacted a few trustworthy journalists and had them publish the news. Since the money embezzled was from a powerful organization, the authorities were sure to come down hard on those involved. With both the authorities and Faymon Group supporting the journalists, they could write and publish the articles without fear.

Rayna also contacted James to compliment him on a job well done and to remind him to always cover his tracks when conducting investigations.

It was about three in the morning by the time she was done with work.

As Rayna hadn’t been to the hospital in a while, she decided to go pay Curtis a visit. After sending Jessica back to her condominium, she headed straight for the hospital. Theodore and a few others were in Curtis’ ward at the time.

There was a black cloth covering the glass window of the door and soundproofing rubber taped over the doorframe, which did a great job of muffling the sounds from inside.

Jeremy was giving Curtis an examination while Theodore and Wyatt watched anxiously from the side.

“How is he?” Wyatt asked the moment he saw Jeremy put his stethoscope away.

“Curtis is disabled.”

“F*ck! You promised that Curtis would be fine!” Wyatt leaped to his feet, grabbed Jeremy by the collar, and threw a punch at his face.

Jeremy stood there calmly and watched as the punch came flying toward him.

Wyatt’s fist was about to make contact with Jeremy’s face when Theodore stopped it.

Theodore then gave Wyatt’s fist a hard squeeze, causing the latter to scream in pain before tossing him aside. He then shifted his gaze back toward Jeremy and said coldly, “Go on.”

“As expected of Theodore, always the calm and rational one. Unlike Wyatt over here.” Jeremy shot Wyatt a disdainful glare as he continued, “You guys may be better when it comes to politics, but I’m the expert in medicine here. After conducting twenty experiments, Curtis and I managed to calculate the perfect formula for the crash. We took into account the weight and momentum of the cars as well as the number of rotations that would result from the crash. Did you really think I’d let Curtis get into any real danger? I said his legs are disabled because I predicted that it would take one to two months more

for him to make a full recovery. It was also to prevent the hospital from having medical experts examine him as they might notice something.”

Wyatt breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his aching wrist as he exclaimed, “Why didn’t you say so sooner?”

“I would have if you didn’t cut me off so quickly.”

Realizing that he was the one at fault, Wyatt quickly tried to change the topic. “Then why isn’t Curtis awake yet?”

“I told Curtis to take four of those pills, but he ended up taking fourteen of them. I didn’t know he’d do that, so I didn’t bring any medication to help counter the effects of those pills,” Jeremy replied with a helpless shrug.

Wyatt’s expression turned gloomy as he exploded with anger, “What the f*ck? I can’t believe Curtis would pull such a mean prank on us! I’ve been so worried about him that I haven’t been able to eat or sleep well! He has no idea how depressed I’ve been!”

“For someone who hasn’t been eating or sleeping well, you sure have been active with women at the club! If I recall, you even had your Patek Philippe watch stolen. That watch cost ten million, so I’d be depressed too if I were you,” Jeremy replied with a faint smile.

Theodore’s icy-cold gaze fell upon Wyatt as he asked, “You went to a club?”

“I-It was an accident! My friends asked me to go drinking with them when they heard about my return, so… I got the watch back, though! Look, it’s right here!” Wyatt stammered while pointing at the watch on his wrist.

“Wyatt, you’d better behave yourself until this whole thing is over. If anything happens to Curtis, I’ll break your arms and legs!” Theodore threatened with an emotionless look on his face. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’ll be sure to sedate you so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure!” Jeremy added with a smile.

“Come on, now. We’re close friends, aren’t we? Isn’t that a bit too harsh? I promise to behave myself from now on, okay? I won’t go drinking with anyone anymore!” Wyatt protested with a pout.

Fearing that Theodore would target him again, he quickly changed the subject of the conversation. “By the way, are you sure it’s okay to have Rayna take on such a huge task all by herself? Shouldn’t we try to help her out or something?”

“Curtis wouldn’t have chosen her if she wasn’t capable. You can rest assured that she’ll get the job done,” Jeremy replied.

“You’re right. She’s got big boobs and a pretty face.” Wyatt then wrapped an arm around Jeremy’s shoulder as he continued, “Did you see how drunk Curtis was the other day? It’s possible that they had sex after that! Oh, wait, no… Curtis is engaged and will get married in a few months, so Rayna doesn’t stand a chance anymore. By the way, I looked up Jasmine’s background a while back. She doesn’t look pretty, and her background isn’t that impressive either. Why do you think Curtis chose her? Could it be true love? Hehe… How about you go after Rayna instead? Better one of us than some other random guy, right?”
