Dear Sweetheart Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Think Carefully

“Mr. Faymon, we’re beyond loyal to the company!”

The others quickly defended themselves, not forgetting to toss Meredith a glare.

Don’t speak if you do not know what to say!

“Meredith Jones, this is not the first time that you have intervened in the affairs of another department. Just because I’m always overseas doesn’t mean that I don’t know what has been going on in this office,” Curtis announced. “You also have no right to fire the new personnel who Faymon Group has recruited.”

Exactly. I have managed to convince Ms. Marsh to join our company after putting in so much effort to compete with other companies. How could she just fire Ms. Marsh so casually? How shameless!

Meredith clenched her fists. Just as she was about to speak up to defend herself, she caught Curtis’ dark gaze.

“Most importantly, you have ruined the image of our company. Not just you, Julian will be fired too.” Curtis turned to look at Gabriel beside him. “Make sure Ms. Jones completed the handover. I want her out of the office within three hours.”

“I’ll see to it myself,” replied Gabriel.

Curtis looked at the watch on his wrist. Realizing how much time he had spent resolving the situation, he left without saying another word.

Behind him, Rayna opened her mouth to speak, but in the end, she decided to swallow her words.

She had not expected Curtis to show up in the office, much less expected that he would intervene in issues like that. However, the fact that Curtis had fired Meredith and Julian was a huge favor on her end.

Does this mean that I owe him another favor?

Soon, the crowd dispersed, leaving nobody in the lobby. Rayna and Jessica, too, got into the elevator and returned to their respective departments.

“You’re brilliant, Rayna. The plan was awesome! You could be a secret agent!” Jessica was elated. “That’s exactly how a sc*mbag and a despicable woman should be treated. That way, they would never be able to get on their feet ever again!”

Rayna did not comment.

She was not stone-hearted. Besides, she had gotten married to Julian so that she could get rid of Jefferson and she also had a disorder. At the end of the day, she felt bad for Julian.

Nevertheless, Julian was ruthless.

If he had simply asked her for a divorce, she would have agreed to terminate their relationship without another word. However, the moment Julian teamed up with Meredith to wreck her reputation, Rayna could not tolerate him any longer.

After parting with Jessica, Rayna returned to the translation department. A few of her colleagues came forward to ask her about the situation. Rayna noticed the glee behind their eyes and immediately knew that they were not genuinely caring for her.

Therefore, Rayna answered all of their questions half-heartedly.

“Say, Rayna. I heard that Julian and Mr. Faymon are related. Does that mean Mr. Faymon is one of your in-laws?”

The atmosphere shifted the moment someone asked the question.

“I heard that Mr. Lawson would be transferred to the branch in Norham. We would be having a new director once Mr. Lawson leaves. You’re the best among all of us, and you’re the wife of Mr. Faymon’s nephew. Surely he would show you favor, wouldn’t he?”

“Ahaha! I was just about to ask that!”

“Your ears sure are sharp to have heard that Mr. Lawson would be sent to Norham. I haven’t even heard of the news.” Rayna peered at them with a tight-lipped smile. “Why don’t you guys go ask Mr. Lawson directly and see who he plans to choose?”

Her cold gaze fell on one of her colleagues, causing his expression to change. “We’re just asking. No hidden intentions. If Mr. Lawson chooses you, we just plan to congratulate you in advance.”

“Since you’re so free, why not clear off these two documents from Crusher?” Rayna’s gaze became even colder as she narrowed her eyes at him. “Mr. Lawson said that we must get it done by Thursday.”

The person shrugged and took a few steps back.

Scanning the rest of her colleagues, Rayna spoke up in a gentle voice. “Everyone, Julian and I are getting divorced soon. Please stop bringing up the fact that I’m the wife of Mr. Faymon’s nephew, all right? I believe that everyone is aware that Mr. Faymon does not like it when people speak without proof. I got into the translation department of Faymon Group through a few rounds of interviews and tests, just like the rest of you.”

Even though Rayna seemed to be easy to talk to, she would spare no one if she was enraged.

Smiling sheepishly, the crowd parted in the blink of an eye.

Rayna huffed in annoyance before furrowing her brows. She was not lying when she said that she had not even heard of the news of Mr. Lawson leaving. Why would her colleagues think that she would take over Mr. Lawson’s place? Who had been spreading rumors?

After a moment of pondering, she decided to send Curtis an email thanking him.

Even though she could have settled the issue without Curtis’ help, she would not have gotten Meredith fired so easily. After all, Meredith was really close to the few vice CEOs.

To her surprise, Curtis replied to her email almost instantly: Welcome.

Rayna read the email repeatedly for a few minutes to make sure Curtis did not mention anything about her owing him a favor. Hmm, this is not too bad. Otherwise, the favors I owe him would outnumber the stars.

In the afternoon, Julian had most likely seen the news. Therefore, he had been calling Rayna’s phone relentlessly.

When she finally picked up, he immediately shouted at her. “I can’t believe you’re so wicked, Rayna! Are you behind the car accident too? You’re making my life miserable, aren’t you? Just you wait, Rayna Garland! I will sue you for attempted manslaughter! Do you want to divorce me? In your dreams! You’ve got me fired from Faymon Group! I won’t let you have it easy!”

“All right. I’ll wait.” With that being said, Rayna hung up the phone. She was puzzled.

She had thought that Julian had unintentionally gotten into a car accident, but according to Julian, it sounded like someone was trying to harm him. However, it was not her that hired someone to do so. She would never do something like that.

So who was behind it? Not to mention the photos that Meredith somehow got her hands on. Where did she get them from?

According to the lawyer, Julian had ripped the divorce papers into shreds on the spot and threatened to hit the lawyer. Hence, Rayna brought the case directly to the court.

To her utmost surprise, Julian took the initiative to call her and invite her to the hospital. He said on the phone that he would sign the divorce papers.

Rayna was taken aback that he agreed to the divorce. Julian’s voice sounded amiss on the phone, but she did not think much of it. Picking up the divorce papers, she headed to the hospital to look for Julian.

Julian had been heavily injured in the accident. Half of his face was wrapped in bandages while both his legs were in casts. However, what stunned Rayna the most was the fact that he was not as arrogant as usual when it came to her. In fact, there was a sense of wariness when he saw her.

Stepping forward, Rayna handed him the divorce papers. “I’ll take back everything that’s mine. You can have the rest of the property. I don’t want them.”

“W-Whatever you say,” Julian stammered as he snatched the pen from her and signed the divorce papers without missing a beat. The whole process was done within five seconds.

“Julian Faymon, what on earth are you up to?” Rayna frowned as she interrogated him. She could not shake the feeling that something was amiss.

Julian had called her saying that he would not let her off the hook and would never divorce her. Why would he change his mind in a matter of one day?

“N-Nothing. I just wanted to divorce you.” Julian handed Rayna the divorce papers. “We’d have nothing to do with each other anymore once we’re divorced, right?”

Julian’s body started trembling when he recalled what had happened the day before.

When he was yelling at the lawyer on the phone, saying that he refused to divorce Rayna as well as suing her for attempted murder, the door flung open with a slam, and two men walked in.

The man in front wore dressed smartly. A pair of glasses sat on the bridge of his nose, giving him a sense of elegance, as though he was a university professor. The man asked, “I heard that you’re unwilling to divorce her?”

“Why should I divorce her?” Julian thought that the man was a new lawyer that Rayna had hired. “Not only do I refuse to divorce her, but I will also sue her!” he scolded.

“Mr. Faymon, think carefully. Do you really not plan to divorce her?”

“I don’t!” Julian was losing his patience. Even though he was lying in bed, his fist flew at the man. To his surprise, the man caught his fist and twisted his arm in an anti-clockwise direction.

A sharp pain shot from Julian’s arm. The pain was so unbearable that his features seemed to inch closer as he bit his tongue to stop himself from screaming. An overwhelming aura overpowered him.

A chill ran down his spine.

“Mr. Faymon, if I can get you into a car accident once, I can get you into a car accident twice.” The man smiled. “But next time, you won’t be seeing your legs anymore.”
