Dear Sweetheart Chapter 21 The Best Drama
Noticing that Rayna was in a daze, Roxanne gently called her, “Rayna, are you all right?”
“Roxanne, am I indebted to you from our past lives?” Rayna trained her eyes on Roxanne and continued, “That’s why I have to
suffer so much because of you. Will you be happy if I die?”
Roxanne dared not reply her.
Right then, Kristie had already changed into her clothes. She circled her hands around Curtis’ and headed outside in a
triumphant manner. It was as if she was proclaiming that Curtis was her man.
“Huh, I’m so jealous of Kristie’s luck,” Roxanne lamented. At the sight of Curtis making his way over to the two of them, she grew
apprehensive.
She thought that he was going to find fault with her and scurried off to hide behind Rayna.
Rayna was rendered speechless.
She thought that Curtis was there to find fault with Roxanne as well. However, just when she stood up, Curtis glanced at her arm
that was wrapped in a bandage, and asked, “Are you okay?”
“I’m all right. It’s just a minor wound,” Rayna replied.
“Curt, let’s go!” Kristie said as she shook Curtis’ hand. “I’m famished.”
Curtis’ face sank as he dragged Kristie in front of Rayna.
Kristie was befuddled.
In a cold tone, Curtis ordered, “Apologize to her.”
“No!” The set was full of people, and some of them turned their heads to check out what happened. Kristie was used to getting
her way and would not relent. “It was her sister who asked me to hit her. I didn’t intend to hit her! I’m not at fault here.”
“Kristie, I’ve been spoiling you too much, so much so that you’re acting like a brat.” Curtis pinched her arm, and the pain made
Kristie wince as she called out in pain.
The man was unfazed and said, “You’re backed by Faymon Group. If the news of you hitting her gets out, Faymon Group is
going to be dragged down along with you. I do not wish to see that happen.”
Kristie pursed her lips. Curtis did not budge as he wore a cold, hard look on his face. Kristie knew that he was mad, and he
would ignore her if she continued to do as she pleased.
Hence, she begrudgingly mumbled, “Sorry.”
“Kristie!” Curtis snapped.
Kristie groaned and took a step forward to take Rayna’s hand and said in a coy manner, “I’m sorry, miss. I shouldn’t have hit you
just now. Please forgive me.”
Rayna did not expect Kristie to apologize and was dumbfounded.

However, Rayna reeled herself in and said, “You’re tired from working on the set, and so is my sister. The schedule has been
hard on everyone,” Rayna said as she retracted her hand. “I only hope that you will try to be more forgiving of my sister’s
mistakes on the set in the future.”
Kristie nodded.
Then, she turned to take Curtis’ hand and said coquettishly, “Curt, I’ve already apologized. Is that okay?”
“Mmm.”
Curtis then wanted to leave with Kristie. However, he was stopped by Rayna as she called out, “Please wait, Mr. Faymon.”
“I would like to apologize to you on behalf of my sister,” Rayna said with a deep bow. She did not wish to owe Curtis a favor, lest
he forced her to do something against her wish.
“My sister did not know any better and simply struck a deal with you. I don’t know any Uronian. I will come up with the five
hundred thousand and return it to you in three days’ time. I hope that you could return the contract to me.”
Curtis’ thin lips curled up. “Five hundred thousand is nothing. I’m going to ask Mr. Tylinski to send you the contract later on. You
could reconsider what you just said after you’ve gone through the contract.”
Then, he left with Kristie.
Kristie turned around with a dark look in her eyes and shot a daggered look at Rayna.
I’ve been reprimanded by Curt because of this woman. Darn it. This is my first time apologizing to someone. I bet she’s up to
something. How dare she talk so much to Curt? Just you wait!
After Curtis left, Rayna dragged her sister from behind her and demanded, “Have you read the contract properly? What did he
mean?”
“I-I can’t remember,” Roxanne said in a small voice. “I just flipped to the last page, and it mentioned something about being a
tag-along translator. I don’t remember the rest.”
“You’re going to be the death of me!” Rayna hissed.
She knew that it was not that simple.
Otherwise, a bigshot and a busy man like him would not deign to attend an event like that.
Rayna slapped Roxanne on her head and warned that if she got herself into trouble again, Rayna would disown her. Then, she
stormed off in a huff.
As expected, Rayna received an email from Gabriel.
After so many days, Rayna finally found out that the contract that Roxanne had signed on her behalf would entail her tagging
along for Curtis’ trip overseas as a translator. The five hundred thousand would be her pay.
However, there was a clause in the contract stating that it was mandatory for Rayna to go on the trip and that she was to tell no
one. However, the exact date and time of the trip had yet to be decided. Nevertheless, Rayna was mandated to cooperate until
the deal was closed.

In other words, the contract had come into effect from the day the contract was signed. Her effort to raise the money and pay
Curtis back would be futile. It was imperative that she had to accompany Curtis on the trip, and only Curtis had the right to end
the agreement as he saw fit.
Rayna wanted to strangle her dumb sister to death after looking through the contract.
She knew that things were not as simple as they appeared to be.
Just when Rayna was getting exasperated over the contract, she noticed a few of her colleagues going in and out of the office
and chatting along the way. They were not that far from Rayna, and she could hear their conversation clearly.
“I told you there is something going on with Mr. Faymon and his boss. You guys didn’t believe me back then. Look, even Mr.
Faymon’s mother is here now. My goodness, did you see how happy she was? She looked as if she couldn’t wait for Ms. Jones
to be her daughter-in-law.”
“I heard that Mr. Faymon was already married. Doesn’t his wife know that he’s having an affair at the office?”
“I bet that his wife is a dud. Why would he cheat on her?”
“Huh, her husband does not love her, and her mother-in-law favors another woman too. I quite pity Mr. Faymon’s wife.”
The colleagues had only stopped gossiping when they had to resume working. Silence ensued in the office. Rayna did not budge
as she sat in her place. She appeared to be calm and composed. However, her knuckles had gone white from gripping her
phone.
Even if Julian was unfaithful to her, Rayna had been accommodating him and Rolanda as she did not wish for their relationship
to turn sour. However, Rolanda shamed her by coming to the office and favoring the homewrecker in front of everyone else.
Julian, do you really think I don’t dare to expose our relationship at the office?
Rayna glanced at her phone. An idea popped into her head as her red lips quirked into a smile.
No matter what kind of deal Curtis was trying to close, it was surely a risky one. Since she did not have the right to end her
contract with him, Rayna reckoned she should just go along with it.
After all, Meredith was already planning to ruin her reputation during the supervisor’s birthday party and chase her out of Faymon
Group. Rayna wanted to take on an active stance for a change, especially since she was on Curtis’ side. Therefore, Curtis would
surely help her out.
Rayna felt much better after sorting out her plans.
She did not have Curtis’ number. Hence, she replied to Gabriel’s email, stating her agreement of accompanying Curtis on his trip
as a translator. Before she closed her mailbox, however, she received a text from the bank.
It was a text reminding her to top up one of her cards that was running out of balance. Otherwise, her usage would be
interrupted.
Rayna recalled that she had been saving in that card for her children’s future use. Moreover, she would transfer money to that
card every month. By now, she should have saved about a hundred thousand. How was it possible that the card was running out

of money?
She used the computer to check the transaction records and noticed that a lump sum of over tens of thousands had been
withdrawn in a normal transaction. Rayna was certain that she had not been hacked either.
Only Julian knew the card’s pin aside from her.
Rayna was infuriated.
Julian earned an annual income of more than a million. However, she seldom used his money. Rayna would use her own pay to
cover the household expenses, even for the children’s education fund.
She had treated Julian and Rolanda well. However, they took her as nothing more than an ATM.
Then, Rayna checked the transaction records for her own personal card and realized that she had transferred over three
hundred thousand to Rolanda this year alone. It was certainly not a small amount.
Roxanne was right. Rolanda was an ingrate.
She stared at the computer screen for quite some time. Then, she took out her phone and sent Astrid a text.
It’s all right that Rolanda is a stingy woman. I shall have ways to deal with her. Since I’m divorcing Julian, I’m going to make sure
Rolanda pays back what I’ve given her and not a single cent less.
Soon, Gabriel came over to pass Rayna the visa.
“Ms. Garland, since this is going to be a long trip, Mr. Faymon has asked you to deal with your personal matters before you go
on the trip. Do let me know if you need any assistance,” Gabriel said with a stern look. It was as if someone owed him an
astronomical amount of debt.
Rayna nodded and said, “Thank you.”
It was apparent that the agreement that Curtis had set his sights on was important to him. Otherwise, he would not have asked
her to see to her matters first before leaving.
In the afternoon, a colleague came into the office and invited all to attend the supervisor’s birthday party at a hotel. He
highlighted that there would be a few top management in attendance as well. Hence, everyone was to take note of their etiquette
at the event later.
After waiting for so many days, the perfectly orchestrated drama was about to play.
