Chapter 325: Chapter 325

Chapter 325 Thud! Rayna’s phone fell to the ground.

Rayna froze in shock. What I thought was a possibility turned out to be the truth! I’m so angry now, but there’s nothing I can do about it.

Her mind then went blank, and she didn’t know what to do next.

At the same time, her limbs went cold as she stood motionless for quite a while. After that, she took a deep breath and composed herself before picking up the phone. At that point, the phone call was still ongoing.

She placed the phone by her ear and uttered calmly, “Keep going. I’m listening.”

“I looked into an old housekeeper that used to work for the Terblanc family, and she said Xandra wasn’t happy after getting married to Boniel. It was almost as if Boniel just wanted to force her to stay with him. Eventually, Xandra gave birth to a child.

When she was out one day, her car suddenly exploded. Everyone said she was dead, but she actually escaped from the fire.”

James paused before continuing, “Kenneth rescued Xandra and brought her back to Jetroina. I found out that Kenneth had then spent an enormous amount of money at a private beauty salon in Jetroina...”

Right then, Rayna finally had a grasp of the situation. “Since she has a blood clot in her brain, she most probably lost her memory. Kenneth changed her surname and married her, right?”

Sandy remembered the set of jewelry she received from her husband back then, so she grew emotional when she saw the sapphire ring.

James hummed in response and breathed, “She gave birth to a daughter when she was with Kenneth. Her daughter’s name is Naomi Gardner. She and Mr. Faymon are half–siblings of the same mother but different fathers. Also-”

“This is ridiculous and unthinkable!” Rayna interrupted. While gradually squatting down, she voiced, “How could this be?”

She had thought about the relationship between Curtis and Jefferson before, but she didn’t expect things to turn out this way.

All of a sudden, Rayna felt horrible, and she couldn’t help but sob. Her voice even turned hoarse when she said, “I regret it so much. I shouldn’t have asked you to look into this matter.”

Indeed, things took a shocking turn.

“This information is kept well–hidden, and I had to jump through hoops to loops to get my hands on it. Now that I have all the information, I can burn them, and everything’s going to be all right. We’re the only ones who have knowledge of it, Rayna.”

“Sandy knows it as well, Rayna breathed.

“She went to look for Mom a few times. The blood clot in her brain must’ve been removed, and she had regained her memory”

Rayna added. No wonder. When Sandy gave me the talisman that day, she had a petty look in her eyes.

“Will she tell others?” James asked.

“I don’t think so,” Rayna answered flatly.

Sandy regained her memory and knew that Curtis was her son. However, she didn’t dare to find either the Faymon family or Curtis. Instead, she could only look for Rayna and observe from a distance.

“In that case, everything should be fine.” In a deep voice, James said, “I’ll destroy the information. I knew you wouldn’t be able to take it, and I shouldn’t have told you. I’m sorry, Rayna.”

Chapter 325 Rayna stared at the tiles she was standing on and answered, “I was the one who told you to investigate the matter. If anything, I’m at fault. Once you destroy the information, everything’s going to be fine.”

James hummed in response. “Rayna, nothing changes. Mr. Faymon is still Mr. Faymon. Although he’s related to them by blood, they’re nothing but strangers to each other.”

“I understand. Bye.”

Rayna was shivering when she hung up the phone. Right then, tears were streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably. As she cried silently, a pool of tears quickly formed on the tiles beneath her feet.

She was feeling so terrible that she could barely breathe. At that moment, she wanted nothing more than to forget all the things she had just learned. The two of them never interacted with each other, and yet, they’re brothers. How could that be?

“Rayna.”

Rayna vaguely heard someone calling her name repeatedly. As the voice became clearer, she raised her head and saw Linda and Jessica walking toward her.

Rayna quickly wiped away her tears and stood up..

Linda knew Rayna had been crying, so she asked worriedly. “Why are you crying, Honey?”

“I’m fine.” Rayna forced a smile and looked at Jessica before asking, “Why are you here?”

It seemed like Jessica had gotten there in a hurry because she was still panting. Besides, her expression was grim. “I called you, but your phone was engaged. Hence, I called Ms. Linda and came to the hospital to look for you. Rayna, I have something to tell you.”

“I’ve already taken my prescription, and I’m feeling fine. I’ll go home first, so you girls can talk,” Linda said.

“I’ll wait for the taxi with you,” Rayna offered.

“That won’t be necessary. It’s just a few hundred meters away, and I’m not that old yet.” Linda patted Rayna’s hand and left without giving Rayna a chance to talk.

Rayna then brought Jessica to a quiet corner in the lobby.

Having cried just moments ago, Rayna felt her nose was still stuffy when she asked in her hoarse voice, “Why were you in such a hurry to find me? What’s up?”

Jessica glanced at her and stayed silent for a few seconds. “Are you not curious about something? When I was staying with you, you didn’t know Mr. Faymon well, and you didn’t even know Wyatt. Do you know why I approached you?”

Rayna’s heart raced, and her palms started sweating when she saw how hesitant Jessica was when the latter spoke.

“Does this have anything to do with Jefferson?” Rayna asked.

Jessica hummed and lowered her head. “Back then, after my sister and my parents died, I was at my wit’s end. I almost took my own life. He then found me and told me he could help me financially. He gave me your information and your photo and told me to stay with you. Never did he ask for anything from me. I would occasionally update him about your situation. At the same time, I collected information on the Lopez family.”

“I see. You’re working for Jefferson,” Rayna mumbled. I found it weird too. Why did Jessica stay with me when I didn’t even know Wyatt? Now I know the answer to that question.

Chapter 325 “I’m sorry, Rayna. I’m willing to let you scold me and beat me up for betraying your trust. However, I need to tell you about something else.”

The information Rayna had received within the past hour had been overwhelming.

However, she endured it and asked coldly, “What are you trying to say?”

“Jefferson has a bodyguard, Ringo. I got some information from him, and it’s about you and Jefferson. Did you know why Jefferson overreacted back then?” Jessica paused and continued, “That was because Cyrus found out Jefferson cared about you, and Cyrus wanted to kill you.”

Rayna’s expression changed slightly.

“In fact, Cyrus wanted to destroy everything Jefferson liked. Back then, Jefferson didn’t get the Terblanc family’s inheritance, so he wasn’t influential enough to protect you. Hence, he put on a show for Cyrus and got you to leave him. Cyrus thought you guys had split up,” Jessica said.

“Why didn’t he tell me?” Rayna’s voice was hoarse, and her eyes were teary. “Why did he have to take everything upon himself?

Was he afraid that I would ruin his plan?”

Jessica shook her head. “That’s not it. He just didn’t want you to get worried and get scared. He wanted to protect you. Rayna, you have no idea how deeply in love he was. Naomi works for Cyrus, and she was sent to Jefferson. In order to get the Terblanc family’s inheritance, he had to endure everything. He even had to take those chronic poisons...”

Rayna stared at Jessica and asked, “What?” She felt her limbs going weak, and she could barely stand.

“Not only did he come to Norwal City to see you, but he was also looking for Ixora, that plant that could regenerate cells in human bodies. Ixora could help him. However, he got jealous when he saw you helping Mr. Faymon. In the end, Jefferson destroyed those plants. A few times, he got so agitated that he vomited blood and fainted. The doctor told him to rest so that he could live for another year. However, Jefferson wouldn’t listen. I didn’t get the tickets to Jetroina for free. That was his doing. He said he wanted to see you.” Jessica was so sad that she could barely continue talking. “He vomited blood again on the cruise.

Ringo told me that Jefferson could have less than three months left to live. After that, I heard from Wyatt that there were still five Ixoras left. Jeremy was researching the plants, but Jefferson wouldn’t let Ringo look for the plants because he thought it was pointless. Rayna, you have absolutely no idea how much Jefferson loves you.” Jessica teared up, and she added, “He was snatching the Terblanc family’s inheritance with Arnaud for your sake. He has kept all his emotions to himself.”
