Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 130 Here Is Ten Million

Oh, my goodness! What were you doing, Rayna? Have you lost your mind?

Rayna nearly lost her mind when she realized what she was about to do. She then leaped to her feet and bolted out of the ward as quickly as her legs could carry.

The air-conditioning in the corridor was on full blast, so the cold air helped Rayna cool off a little and regain her composure.

Apart from a few bodyguards at the entrance, the entire inpatient department was empty at the time. Rayna was about to go and wash her face in the restroom when she heard a faint conversation behind a corner.

Out of curiosity, Rayna peeked around the corner and saw Jasmine and Theodore standing next to a water dispenser. Their interaction looked rather awkward as there was quite a bit of distance between them.

Although Rayna could only see Theodore from where she stood, she could almost picture the conflicted look on Jasmine’s face. Huh… Jasmine and Theodore know each other?

The two were clearly distracted as neither of them noticed Rayna’s head sticking out of the corner.

Theodore seemed really unapproachable due to the gloomy aura he exuded. The look on his face was as cold and harsh as it was four years ago.

As though the words were stuck in her throat, Jasmine stared cautiously at Theodore in silence for quite a while before saying, “I didn’t know you two were friends.”

“It’s normal for you to not know that, Ms. Sanders. After all, Curtis never told you, and I don’t know you either.” Theodore’s tone was calm, yet cold as ice.

Jasmine went pale with shock when she heard that. Daily New chapters upload Only on Alaniniz(dot)com Those words hit her so hard that she accidentally crushed the paper cup in her hand and scalded herself with the hot water.

As though he didn’t see that, Theodore simply turned around and began walking away. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

After taking a few seconds to snap out of her daze, Jasmine ran up to him and grabbed his arm. “T- Theodore, c-could you say that again?” she asked in a trembling voice.

I can’t believe it! He said he didn’t know me!

She then took a few deep breaths to calm herself down before continuing, “Please drop that attitude of yours so we can have a proper conversation—”

“I don’t want to be acquainted with you, Ms. Sanders!” Theodore cut her off mid-sentence and brushed her arm off impatiently, exerting much force in the process.

As Jasmine was wearing high heels, she lost her balance and fell backward. Theodore felt his heart ache a little when he heard her groaning in pain, but he walked off without looking back anyway.

The icy-cold look on his face was so intimidating that it sent shivers down Rayna’s spine when he bumped into her at the corner.

“I-I-I was just going to wash my face at the restroom. I didn’t know you two were having a conversation here…” she stammered nervously.

The whole conversation happened so quickly that she didn’t even have time to leave the scene.

Rayna wanted to explain that she didn’t intend to listen in on their conversation, but Theodore wouldn’t even give her a chance to. He simply ignored her and strode right past her, sending yet another shiver down her spine.

Noticing that Jasmine was still sitting on the floor, Rayna quickly ran over and helped her up. “Are you okay?”

“I’m okay,” Jasmine replied with a smile as she dusted herself off, her movements as graceful as a swan. It was as though nothing had happened earlier.

Even though it was clear as day what happened between Jasmine and Theodore, Rayna knew better than to stick her nose in their affair. Since Jasmine didn’t seem like she wanted to talk about it, Rayna excused herself to the restroom after making some small talk.

Upon leaving the hospital, Rayna ran into Kristie, who was stepping out of a minivan.

Huh… I didn’t think Kristie would be coming over to the hospital at this hour… Well, I’ve still got lots of work left to do, so I don’t have time to talk to her right now.

With that in mind, Rayna decided to mind her own business. She had just gotten to the bottom of the stairs when Kristie grabbed her by the arm and asked angrily, “Hey! Why are you acting like you didn’t see me, you vixen? Also, what are you doing here coming to the hospital at this hour? Were you trying to do something bad to Curt?”

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me visiting my boss at the hospital, Ms. Winton.” Rayna simply couldn’t be bothered to explain herself. What kind of wild thoughts is going on in this crazy woman’s mind?

“Hmph! Don’t think I don’t know what your intentions are! You’d better manage Faymon Group well before Curt awakes, or I’ll be sure to come after you!” Kristie threatened.

Infuriated, Rayna was about to give Kristie the finger when the latter whipped out a check, scribbled on it, and waved it in her face condescendingly.

“Here’s ten million. Now, break up with your boyfriend!”

Rayna froze for a few seconds before looking at her in disbelief. “Are you crazy?”

“What, not enough for you?” Thinking she wanted more, Kristie wrote another check and handed it to her. “Here’s twenty million, then! It’s quite a lot of money. Don’t get too greedy!”

Rayna simply stared at her with a confused look on her face.

What is she talking about? Since when did I have a boyfriend? How come I don’t know about this?

“I knew you were up to no good the moment I saw you on set! I thought you were just a gold digger at first, but it turns out you’re a shameless two-timer as well! I won’t let you seduce Curt, you vixen! If you take this check and break up with your boyfriend, I won’t tell him about it!” Kristie continued.

“As I said, Mr. Faymon and I aren’t dating, so how am I a two-timer? Also, do you really think you can make me break up with someone by paying me twenty million? Who the heck do you think you are?” Rayna snapped back at her with a frown.

She then snatched the check from Kristie and tore it to pieces in front of her.

Kristie clenched her teeth in anger when she saw that. “How dare you tear up my check? I was trying to end this peacefully! Why must you insist on doing this the hard way, Rayna?”

“You’re the one who started it, Ms. Winton. So what if I choose to do this the hard way? Even if I did have a boyfriend, I wouldn’t break up with him simply because you paid me to!”

Kristie stomped her feet and glared furiously at Rayna.

F*ck! I don’t understand this! What does Gray Wolf see in this scheming b*tch? Why won’t they break up?

“You will pay dearly for going against me, Rayna!” Kristie threatened. Having become Gray Wolf’s employer, she felt a need to protect him from being hurt by Rayna.

On top of that, she didn’t want her lackey dating her enemy.

Rayna was on the verge of losing her temper. I’ve just about had it with this crazy woman! I’m doing everything I can to help Uncle Curtis save Faymon Group, and Kristie is still trying to get at me? What the heck is wrong with her?

Upon glancing at her phone, Rayna saw that it was very late and decided not to waste any more time arguing with Kristie. She then stepped forward and shot Kristie a vicious glare, frightening the latter. “Ms. Winton, I have never said anything about going against you. You are free to do as you wish. However, if you mess with Faymon Group, then I will not hesitate to take action against you. As you know, I am now the acting CEO of Faymon Group. If your actions tarnish the company’s reputation, then I will proceed to have you blacklisted.”

“Y-You wouldn’t dare…”

“Why wouldn’t I? You would be wise to not mess with me, Ms. Winton. If anything happens to Faymon Group, you will be the first to go down.”
