Chapter 134 Does Curtis Like Her

“Who else can it be? Her brother, Chester?” Wyatt asked. “I discovered Chester often frequents the club with the vice CEO of Faymon Group, Mr. Ziegler. They must’ve come up with something.”

Theodore fell into deep thought. A while later, he said, “Faymon Group might seem peaceful on the surface, but we know what those people have in mind. Curtis does, too.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“A storm is brewing.” Jeremy sighed. “If we don’t calculate the Norham branch’s profits, Faymon Group is still worth hundreds of billions. Curtis is the biggest shareholder despite being Old Mr. Faymon’s adopted son. It is natural for Old Mr. Faymon’s siblings to feel upset.”

Wyatt nodded. “I think Curtis shouldn’t have spared them. His Uncle Chester and Aunt Sienna embezzled Faymon Group’s funds and sold classified information previously. If they get charged, they could’ve spent their entire lives in jail instead of causing trouble until today.”

“Stop talking as though you’re the smartest of us all!” Jeremy rolled his eyes and snapped, “Curtis cannot do that even if he wanted to. He isn’t biologically related to Chester and Sienna. He might be their nephew in name, but Old Mr. Faymon is their sibling. If Curtis were to go all out, do you think Old Mr. Faymon will approve of his decision? He told us to come back and help him to kick them out of Faymon Group so he could get the company back. In the end, he will most probably let them live the rest of their lives in peace without harming them.”

“Ah, how complicated. Fortunately, I am the only son in my family.” Wyatt rubbed his nose in exasperation. He then turned to Theodore. “Why are you quiet, Theodore?”

Theodore tapped his fingers on his slacks and asked, “What about the matter I told you to look into?”

“You told me to look into many matters. Which one are you referring to?”

Wyatt felt a chill go down his spine when Theodore pinned him with a withering look. He immediately responded, “I found nothing. Even if I spent a huge sum of money to hire the FBI to start an investigation, they won’t find anything.”

“Isn’t that strange?” Jeremy asked. “Old Mr. Faymon brought Curtis back from Illurasia decades ago. Why did he wipe off all traces? Is he trying to hide something? Besides, something tells me that Old Mr. Faymon treats Curtis well not because they are close. Instead, he felt guilty over something and gave everything to Curtis to make it up to him.”

His analysis made sense, but Wyatt was confused. “What are you talking about? Don’t tell me Old Mr. Faymon had a first love that he broke up with for some reason, but she got pregnant and died while giving birth to Curtis. Was that why Old Mr. Faymon felt guilty toward Curtis?”

“No wonder women love tricking you. You’re such a fool!” Jeremy mocked, his voice dripping with disdain. “I previously ran a DNA test on both Old Mr. Faymon and Curtis’ blood samples. They are not biologically related. If Curtis is Old Mr. Faymon’s son, why would the latter take him as his adopted son? Back then, Faymon Group was doing well. Sienna and Chester depended on Old Mr. Faymon, so they wouldn’t dare to protest or try to hurt Curtis.”

Wyatt ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. “Oh, this is complicated. My brain is about to combust!”

“Continue your investigation,” Theodore ordered. “You must find what Old Mr. Faymon wiped out in Illurasia no matter what.”

“Yes, continue the investigation.” Jeremy patted Wyatt’s shoulder and sighed. “Our parents are still alive, so even if we had a fight with our family, at least they would still care about us. Curtis, however, doesn’t have anyone. He never said anything, but I know how disappointed he is. He respects Old Mr.

Faymon and thinks of him as his father, but he still wants to know his background just to find out about his biological mother and his true identity so that his birth certificate could be completed.”

Hearing that, Wyatt felt sad for Curtis.

Of course I know that. I still remember Curtis when we first met. In the beginning, he was actually more distant than Theodore. After a while, Curtis slowly found his smile and regained happiness.

When they celebrated his twenty-eighth birthday, Wyatt joked, “Curtis, aren’t you going to get a wife and some kids? Who will inherit your assets?”

Curtis merely flashed a smile. “I don’t even know where I came from. I don’t want to be someone else’s burden. Even if I were to get married one day, it will be a marriage of convenience. I won’t marry for love.”

Theodore was the oldest among them. He might be grumpy and quiet, but he still had his family. His situation was different from Curtis’ as it didn’t matter when he would get married.

Wyatt’s heart clenched when he recalled the past. Exhaling sharply, he announced, “Okay! I’ll investigate it! I’m sure Old Mr. Faymon left something behind!”

Jeremy chuckled, and Theodore’s grim expression relaxed as well.

“I think they have spies in the hospital, so the news of the nurse consuming poison to commit suicide will reach their ears by tomorrow. They didn’t succeed this time, so they will attempt another assassination.”

“Find a way to make Curtis wake up,” Theodore uttered. “Rayna might be smart, but those in the corporate world are sly. She is inexperienced and cannot handle what will come later.”

“I agree with you, Theodore.” Jeremy bobbed his head in approval. “This is about the Faymon family, so there is no need to involve her. She has already sacrificed a lot for Faymon Group.”

Wyatt chuckled. “I knew an emergency would crop up, so I told them to bring your stuff back.”

Hearing that, Jeremy gave him a punch. “Good job!”

“Of course. If it weren’t for our ages, I would be…” He trailed off as something occurred to him. Placing his arm over Jeremy’s shoulder, he declared, “I should rank third, while you come last.”

I can never be the first. I’m no match for Theodore, and I’m also afraid of him.

Wyatt brushed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth and asked thoughtfully, “Don’t you find it weird that Curtis entrusted everything to Rayna when he doesn’t trust anyone, even Kristie, other than us? Do you think he has feelings for her?”

He muttered under his breath, “What about Ms. Sanders? What does Curtis think of her? Is he going to marry her?”

Theodore remained expressionless but clenched his jaw.

“That is none of your business.” Jeremy glanced at Theodore before turning around to drag Wyatt away. “Hurry, go and get my stuff. I need to use it now.”

“Hey, you’re so much stronger now. Did you train in secret behind my back?”

“Shut up.”

Theodore was still rooted to his spot long after Jeremy and Wyatt left. He stood opposite the water dispenser. Suddenly, he recalled what Jasmine said to him that night, and his heart wrenched for some reason.

I’m that close to erasing her from my mind, but she appeared suddenly and dealt a huge blow to me like an arrogant attacker. I want nothing more than to choke her to death when we met that day at the hospital after four years.

Theodore tamped down his rage and fished out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He was about to light one when he realized he was still at the hospital. The alphabet initial on the inside of his finger caught his eye when he removed the cigarette from his lips.

His gaze turned dark.

A while later, Theodore pocketed the cigarettes and strode along the corridor. He pulled his phone out to make a call. “Are you free now? I need you to remove something.”
