Chapter 178: Chapter 178

Dear Sweetheart Chapter 178 No Match For You “Y-You...” Chester stammered, unable to finish his sentence. He could only watch Curtis and Rayna leave. A metallic taste filled his mouth as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Chester!” Sienna rushed forward to help him. “Are you all right?”

“That brat!” Chester vociferated, his chest heaving up and down with rage. I can’t believe Alfred’s adoptive son would push me to this point. Worse, I have to sacrifice Jason’s arm.

Sienna whispered, “You know how much Alfred values children. He must feel awful after losing his grandson. Besides, he clearly favors that adopted son. There’s nothing we can do about it.”

Chester roared, “I must take my revenge!”

“This way, please.” The bodyguard walked over. “Decide if you want to amputate your arm or your son’s so that the doctor can start preparing the anesthetic.”

Hearing that, Chester almost spewed another mouthful of blood. He shut his eyes before shoving Sienna away and walking upstairs.

After getting shot twice, Jason was still in a coma. Even without anesthetic, he would not feel the pain of having his arm severed.

Chester’s face twitched when he saw his beloved son’s battered state.

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and took out his phone to make a call.

When the call was picked up, Chester said through gritted teeth, “Tell Mr. Hamilton that I’m willing to sell all of Faymon Group’s shares at a low price to him. However, he must promise me something in return.”

Meanwhile, Rayna was still in a daze when she left the residence. She felt as though she was having a dream.

Now I know what it means to be an actor!

She was impressed by how Curtis had kept going until Chester was rendered speechless. In the end, the latter was so furious that he coughed up blood. She had never witnessed such dramatic scenes in her life.

Noticing Rayna was spacing out, Curtis asked, “What’s on your mind? Have you not come to your senses yet?”

“Why are you asking so many questions? I need time to digest everything.” Rayna shot him a look before moving two steps to the side. “I think I should stay away from you. I’m no match for you.”

Curtis let out a light chuckle and reached out to pull her to sit on his lap. “Didn’t you learn anything?”

Rayna inhaled deeply. “Seriously? What can I learn from this?”

“You can learn many things. What kind of tactic you should use when dealing with certain people, for example? If you spare him, he will think you’re a coward.”

I suppose he’s right.

Rayna recalled when Jason had bullied her, he had arrogantly declared that Curtis would not dare to do anything to him.

Nevertheless, she was still a little concerned. “Didn’t you see how furious Chester was? He’s going to retaliate against you in the future for cutting off his son’s arm. Also, you shouldn’t have lied to your dad.”

Curtis narrowed his eyes at her remark. “How self-righteous of you.”

“No, that’s not it.” Rayna waved a dismissive hand. “What I mean is, we could have gotten someone to cut off his arm secretly.

You shouldn’t have acted so arrogantly. After all, you aren’t in good health either.”

“I want to make them remember so they won’t dare to touch my people again. To my dad, blood is thicker than water. He wants to let Jason off the hook, so I can’t do anything about it.”

Rayna furrowed her brows. “I’m afraid that the car accident will happen again. It will put you in danger.”

Besides, that car accident was not accidental either.

There was a glint in Curtis’ eyes. Sienna had planned the car accident. However, he was the one who lured Sienna into a trap in the end. Rayna had been kept in the dark regarding this matter.

If she finds out the truth, will she understand me? Or will she be mad at me?

As Curtis pondered about it, he could not help but feel frustrated. Pursing his lips, he called out, “Rayna.”

“Mr. Faymon, I know what you want to say.”

Curtis froze at her words.

Rayna clasped his hand, her gaze unwavering and warm. “No matter what happens, I’ll always be by your side. I will take care of you and help you solve your problems.”

Curtis’ expression softened. “Anything else?”

“Let me think about it.” Rayna wanted to suggest taking a break overseas. In the end, she said, “T-That’s if you don’t mind me.”

“Hmm?”

“In the future, I-I-I can take care—”

Just then, Rayna’s phone rang, interrupting her and also startling her.

“Let me answer this first.” Rayna rose to her feet from Curtis’ lap. She answered the call while cursing inwardly. This damn phone!

“Hello, who is this?”

After a short pause, the person on the other end of the line greeted, “Isabelle.”

Words eluded Rayna when she heard that name.

Curtis saw her body stiffen after she answered the phone.

He approached her in his wheelchair and heard Rayna warn someone calmly, “If you dare to come back for my mom, I’m going to turn you into ashes.”

With that, she ended the call.

Curtis did not ask her any questions. “Let’s pack up our things. It’s time to head back.”

Rayna nodded in acknowledgement.

By the time the two returned to the residence, the bodyguards had already taken care of the matter concerning Jason and showed the thing to Curtis. He waved his hand, telling them to incinerate the severed arm. Chester was so angry that he was rendered speechless.

When Alfred heard they were leaving, he immediately called Rayna to the study.

“Rayna, it’s the Faymon family’s fault that you had a miscarriage.” Alfred let out a long sigh. “I didn’t expect Jason to do such a despicable thing.”

Rayna was scared out of her wits. Since her pregnancy was fake, she was afraid that Alfred would blame himself for this. ”I-It’s fine. I’m still young, after all. Besides, Mr. Faymon is taking good care of me.”

Alfred nodded in understanding. “Yes, you guys will have many more opportunities in the future. Try to have more children if possible!”

Rayna was at a loss for words.

No, that won’t be necessary.

“I have to thank you,” Alfred said gratefully. “Although Curtis has crossed the line today, I can sense a trace of warmth from him nowadays. It’s all thanks to you. As you know, when I adopted Curtis back then, some of the members of the Faymon family couldn’t stand the sight of him. Nonetheless, he endured everything in silence and studied hard. At the age of thirteen, he started learning business with me. While others were still in university, he had already graduated. He secured a three hundred million contract for Faymon Group when he was twenty years old. Then, he managed to push himself into the upper management of the group and became its younger member.”

“There’s no way I could accomplish any of these.” Rayna pursed her lips and let out a sigh of admiration. “Mr. Faymon is truly outstanding.”

A smile bloomed on Alfred’s face. “Yes. Among the Faymon family’s children of the same age, not even his Aunt Sienna or Uncle Chester can compare to him. That’s why I’m going to hand over Faymon Group to him,” he stated proudly. ”He used to be a quiet guy, but he was never this aloof to other people. Then, something happened to him. His personality changed after he returned from a business trip. There are times when I don’t know what is on his mind. Rayna, I hope you can make him happier. I don’t want to see him burying himself in work and keeping people at a distance.”

Patting Rayna’s hand, Alfred continued, “He’s an excellent leader. He will make a good husband and father too. I hope to see him have his own family and children since he has suffered so much in the past.”

Rayna blushed at his words. “Please don’t say that. You’re Mr. Faymon’s family too.”

Alfred shook his head and smiled sadly. “I know my own body. I don’t have long to live. I’ll be satisfied to see you guys doing well and having children before I leave this world.”

With that, he opened the desk drawer and took out something.

It was a sapphire ring. Even though the gem was not huge, its color was stunning. The ring looked beautiful and exquisite.

Alfred looked at the ring and sighed. “This is the only belonging left behind by his mother.”

“You know Mr. Faymon’s mother?” Curtis exclaimed.
