Chapter 355: Chapter 355

Chapter 355 After a pause, Arnaud smiled and added, “It’s unfortunate that you won’t have the chance to do so anymore, Ms. Garland. The living cost in Frosa is extremely high. It’s going to be tough to survive without money.”

Rayna immediately understood what he meant by that. Her expression darkened. “You did something to my credit cards.”

“I can do whatever I want to his card, let alone yours,” he taunted.

His arrogant voice gave her a strong urge to tell him off. However, she took a few deep breaths and successfully reined back her anger. “Arnaud, you won’t be smug for long.”

“Oh, it sounds like you want to meet up with me, Ms. Garland?” Arnaud chuckled softly. “Oh, by the way, all my younger brother’s identification documents are no longer valid now. Other than the city buses and subways, I don’t think he’s able to take any other forms of transportation.”

Trembling with anger, Rayna snarled through gritted teeth, “You sure are f*cking inhuman.”

“Thanks for your compliment, Ms. Garland.” His voice was still relaxed. “I’ll do my best to bring out the full meaning of ‘inhumanity: Please excuse me as I have a meeting coming right up. I hope that you and my brother will have an enjoyable time over there. Send my regards to him and his mother too.”

Soon, the call was disconnected.

Rayna shot daggers at her phone. At that moment, she wanted nothing more than to have a door that could reach Arnaud’s place and go through it to lay a sharp punch across his disgusting face.

What a cunning man! Not only did he cut off our means of subsistence, but he also called to provoke me!

After standing in the chilly wind for a long time, Rayna finally calmed herself down. She took out the two credit cards and stared at them. They were useless then. There was nothing she could do but get someone to transfer her money so that she could directly withdraw it from the bank.

Some hesitation later, she dialed the same number that Curtis used to call her that morning.

While waiting for the line to go through, she recalled that she had severely hurt him once. If she were to tell Curtis that she needed money from him because Arnaud had frozen her cards, he would definitely not be happy about it. After all, it was once again related to the grudge between Jefferson and Arnaud.

No man could tolerate their beloved woman helping another man, let alone the petty and jealous Curtis.

Rayna hung up the call at once. Inwardly, she was glad that it did not go through.

After ruminating on it, she realized she could only seek help from Jessica and James.

However, she troubled Jessica a lot of times when she went abroad. There was no way she would want to bother her with her problems anymore, so she contacted James.

Rayna held her breath the whole time she waited for the call to be answered. The moment it was connected, she immediately said, “James, I can’t use my cards. Find a way to transfer some money to me-”

“Rayna, what’s wrong with your cards? Where are you?” Kristie cut her off before she could finish speaking. “How much do you need? I’ll transfer them to you.”

It astonished Rayna, who did not expect Kristie to be the one answering the phone.

“Hello? Why aren’t you saying anything, Rayna?” Kristie asked when she did not hear anything from the other end of the line.

“Did you encounter difficulties abroad?”

“No. It’s just that there are some problems with my cards.” Rayna quickly regained her composure. “But I think.

Chapter 355 they’re fine now. Bye, I’m hanging up,” she said in a hurry, not wanting to drag Kristie into the mess.

In the Norwal City of Chanaea, Kristie stared at the black screen on the phone in puzzlement.

When I answered the call earlier, it was clear that Rayna sounded anxious. It felt like she had run into some difficulties. But why did she gloss it over when I asked her about it? She even ended the call.

She had been anxious since learning about Rayna going abroad and witnessing Curtis‘ indifference when she met him that day.

Even though she was aware that something had happened to their relationship, James claimed to be clueless about everything.

Kristie snorted at the phone and said in dissatisfaction, “As if you’re truly clueless! Why would Rayna call you if you don’t know a thing?”

Is Curt planning on leaving Rayna in the lurch?

Within a matter of seconds, Kristie’s imagination had run wild. Considering Curtis‘ apathetic personality, she reckoned there was a chance he would seek revenge on Rayna after the breakup.

At once, the young woman got out of bed, copied out the phone number, and deleted that particular call log. Then, she hurriedly put on her shoes and left the house.

While running, she even called Wyatt. “Wyatt, where are you? I’m coming to you now.”

Wyatt had been busy in the office. With Kristie taking up his whole afternoon, a few of his meetings had to be postponed.

By the time he returned home, it was already late at night.

The housekeeper took the coat slung over his arm and asked, “Mr. Lopez, do you want to have some supper?”

“It’s okay.” Wyatt waved his hand, still full from drinking at the cocktail reception. “Where’s Ms. Jessica?”

“She’s long gone to bed.”

“Got it.”

With that, he entered the bedroom upstairs, being extra careful not to make any noise. When he noticed the bulge on the bed, he walked closer and saw Jessica slumbering while lying sideways.

Stroking her cheek, he chuckled.

Back then, she always refused to go to bed even when the clock struck twelve, insisting on staying up to watch dramas. But after moving here, she goes to bed at midnight every day. And now, she’s already asleep when it’s only eleven o’clock. Is she trying to be a good daughter–in–law in front of my mother?

As Wyatt’s fingers caressed her soft cheek, he was aroused. Giving in to his impulse, he went under the covers and pulled her warm body into his arms. Slowly, he began to plant kisses along her neck.

His lips against her neck tickled her. Half–awake, Jessica pushed him away with her hand a few times.

“What time is it?”

“Half past twelve.”

At his reply, she became slightly more clearheaded. Tilting her head to look at him, she complained, “Why are you home so late?

Did you go to drink again? You’re so shameless, Wyatt Lopez! Didn’t I say you can only get in bed after taking a shower?”

Chapter 355 “I can’t hold back myself. I missed you.” Wyatt could not stop kissing her delicate skin. “Kristie came looking for me in the office around five o’clock in the afternoon. She held me up for a few hours.”

“Why did she look for you?”

“To track down the location of a phone number. She said a foreign lady gave James a call this morning, and she suspects that he’s cheating on her. That’s why she asked me to look into it without letting him know.”

Jessica guessed that the caller was Rayna in an instant.

James and I have been dealing with Rayna and Jefferson’s matters since they went abroad. Rayna probably ran into difficulties, so she called James, yet Kristie unexpectedly picked up the call. What is Kristie going to do after finding out the address? Is she going to look for Rayna? Also, what happened to Rayna?

The pain on her lips broke her train of thought. Flashing a sharp glare at Wyatt, she asked, “Why did you bite me?”

“Babe, you should be focusing on me at times like this instead of spacing out.” He pinned her arms above her head and pressed his crotch close to her. “Is it because I’m not seductive enough?”

For a moment, Jessica could not breathe. After regaining steady breathing, she rolled her eyes at him. “You didn’t take a shower!”

“No worries, Babe. I’m very clean.” Wyatt interlocked his fingers with hers, his breath falling onto her ear as he spoke. “Could it be that you’ve drugged me? Otherwise, why would I love you so much? Whenever I’m working in the office, my mind keeps wandering to you. Every time I get off work, I can’t wait to head home to hold you in my arms. It’s all your fault!”

“I’d be happy to drug you so that you can think straight! Other people get exhausted after a whole day at work, yet you’re so energetic and keep thinking of ways to take advantage of me.”

Wyatt chuckled. “It shows that my stamina is good. I can make you ten times happier compared to other people.”
