Chapter 565: Chapter 565

Emma knew she had committed a grave mistake, so she was no longer as domineering as before. She was willing to reveal everything to Rayna.

Rayna’s expression turned extremely grim after Emma told her everything that had happened.

She shut her eyes and said calmly, “You’ve been used. That girl knows how much you hate Jasmine, so she deliberately told you Jasmine had married someone and given birth to a child. Since Carl is always wearing a mask whenever he’s out, you couldn’t see his face. Naturally, you would think that Jasmine was cheating.”

Rayna’s tone became colder when she gritted her teeth and said, “That girl used you to murder Jasmine! How ruthless!”

Right then, Emma figured out what had happened, and she felt even more guilty. “How foolish of me... How could I have ended up being used? I even almost killed my own grandson...”

“Do you remember what she looks like?”

Emma thought about it, but she still couldn’t remember what that person looked like. “She dressed up differently every time I saw her. I can’t seem to remember her face, but I know she’s very pretty...” As she was talking, she suddenly remembered a piece of crucial information. “Back then, I saw her walking out of Faymon Group. I think she works there.”

Faymon Group? Rayna furrowed her brows. Faymon Group is huge, and the place is filled with female workers. Besides, they all look good. To search for the person Mrs. Xavier is talking about is like looking for a needle in a haystack!

“Did she look for you often?” Rayna asked.

“No. Most of the time, I was the one who looked for her.” Emma took out her phone. “I was on the phone with her on a few occasions.”

Emma looked through her call history, but she couldn’t find the contact she was familiar with.

“Wait... I talked to her on the phone a few times before, but her contact is gone.” Emma was utterly baffled when she handed her phone to Rayna. “I think her number starts with 136...”

Rayna looked through the call history and failed to find the said contact. Although the calls Emma made from a long time back were still there, Rayna didn’t see the number Emma mentioned. Either that person is just extremely capable, or she has a friend who works in the telecommunication industry. This mysterious girl is trying so hard to stay hidden. Could it be that she’s with Gianna? Or could this be Gianna herself?

Rayna had wanted to tell Curtis about it, but knowing how busy he was, she looked for Gabriel through WhatsApp and told him to find a female employee in Faymon Group who had been to a beauty salon and had a phone number starting with 136.

After that, she said to Emma, “The next time she looks for you, arrange for a meeting and inform me. I would like to see who this evil person is!”

Emma nodded. “I think she’s around your age. How vicious of her! She tricked me into killing Jasmine. I think that driver is actually working for her.”

Emma’s mistake had almost destroyed her son’s family.

“Your biggest mistake isn’t looking for someone to run Jasmine over. It was when you set Mr. Xavier up with another woman.”

Rayna wasn’t sympathetic at all. “You forced Mr. Xavier to go against you.”

Emma had nothing to defend herself with. This is all my fault. I didn’t like Jasmine because I looked down on her family background. Conveniently, Selena was into Theodore, and she was from a prominent family. I was tricked into committing such a grave mistake.

Emma turned to Carl because she wanted to talk to him.

However, Carl put on a cold expression and distanced himself from her. “Even though you didn’t do anything on purpose, my parents are still unconscious because of you. I’m not going to acknowledge you. Please leave.”

“Carl...” Emma knew Carl’s name, but she didn’t know what to say to him.

Right then, Kristie came back with two bags of chips in her hand. Having already heard about Emma from Rayna, Kristie looked at Emma with contempt in her eyes and helped Carl chase Emma out as well.

Fearing that Carl would be sad, Kristie gave all the chips to him and coaxed him by saying, “Don’t be sad, okay? I love you. From now on, I won’t fight with you or hit you anymore.”

“As if.” Carl wasn’t convinced. “If you were to get mad at me tomorrow, you would still hit me.”

“Am I such a person?” Kristie glared at him.

“Yes.” Carl nodded unhesitatingly. Kristie ended up pinching his cheeks and calling him a mean child.

Rayna couldn’t help but smile when she saw the interaction between the two of them. At the same time, she was also feeling restless. It has been so long, and I still haven’t heard from anybody saying that Jessie has been found.

Since Jeremy was a researcher, the doctors he knew were all impressive professionals. In fact, the medicines they had given to Rayna were all newly developed and highly effective.

Consequently, the gunshot wound Rayna had suffered had healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After wearing a cast for a few days, Carl could finally remove it. Kristie made fun of him because a layer of gunk was left on his neck.

She had been bringing food for Rayna every day. Since Jeremy was taking care of Wyatt, Kristie would always visit Rayna.

Neither Curtis nor Jefferson had shown up.

Rayna knew Curtis well enough to know that he was merely too busy to visit her.

However, the thought of Selena’s death quickly made Rayna grow anxious.

Although she didn’t say it out loud, she was actually extremely worried that Noel would go after Curtis and Faymon Group to avenge his daughter’s death.

“Rayna!” Kristie brought lunch over at noon. “Carl is with Jeremy, so we’ll eat on our own!”

Rayna hummed in response.

During lunch, Rayna asked, “Did Curtis look for you over the past few days?”

“No. I think Curt has his hands full.” Kristie took out some food from the lunch box and hesitated before saying, “There’s something I need to tell you about. Wyatt has regained his consciousness.”

“Wyatt is awake?” Because of his injuries, Rayna had thought it would take longer for Wyatt to regain consciousness. “How is he doing?”

“Jeremy and his friend are looking after him. He’s obviously doing well, but it seems that he has returned to his old, carefree self again. He was even joking with me.”

Rayna froze for a second before asking, “Did he ask about Jessie?”

“No.”

After keeping mum for a while, Rayna let out a sigh. “It’s all right, then. After all, we haven’t received any news regarding Jessie yet.”

Kristie wanted to say something, but she changed her mind after seeing that Rayna was busy eating.

Rayna felt that her leg had healed, so she requested the doctor. The doctor agreed with her and gave her permission to walk around the ward.

Although she still had to take tiny steps, she could at least get out of bed.

Rayna had wanted to look for Curtis on several occasions to ask about him. However, she thought she would make it too obvious, so she ended up looking for Jefferson.

Jefferson told her he was busy with work and that he would visit her the next day. Throughout the conversation, he didn’t tell Rayna if he had contacted Curtis.

That very night, James showed up.

Rayna wasn’t used to how old James looked. When he entered the ward, it took her a while to realize who he was. In fact, she found it slightly annoying. He’s my younger brother, but he ended up being older than me. I’m going to need quite some time to get used to this.

James had made dinner and brought the food along. He went to ask Carl to join them.

When he returned and saw that Kristie was still gaming, he pinched her ear and reprimanded, “Why are you still gaming? Are you not going to eat?”

Kristie immediately distanced herself from him as if he were a venomous snake. “I will! Don’t touch me!”

James’ eyes darkened when he saw how she acted. Ever since last week, Kristie has been avoiding me. In fact, she would jump every time we touch.

“Aunt Kristie, are you shunning Mr. Samson?” Carl widened his eyes, confused. “Before this, you were always so clingy with Mr.

Samson. In fact, you even wanted him to sleep with you.”

“Pfft!” Rayna was so stunned by those words that she spat out the soup in her mouth.
