Dear Sweetheart Chapter 609
Chapter 609
Rayna couldn’t stop laughing after hearing that. “Got it, Darling! I’ll keep an eye on my legs!”
That rendered him speechless.
Upon getting advice from Curtis, Rayna went to the office the next day to have a meeting with her team and re-formulate the plan
to acquire Happy Entertainment.
After that, she exposed the artists’ scandals, threw allegations at Happy Entertainment, caused the company’s stocks to
plummet, and bailed on the owners several times to show little to zero interest in the acquisition.
One month later, Happy Entertainment’s owner couldn’t take it anymore, so he called Rayna and named his price.
Unsurprisingly, the price was way lower than the initial selling price Rayna had gotten.
Rayna knew that was the right time to make the acquisition, and her plan would’ve backfired if she continued pushing her luck.
Hence, she brought her team to meet with the owner of Happy Entertainment.
After an hour of negotiation, Glory Corporation successfully acquired Happy Entertainment.
Within a month, Rayna’s team had already formulated a plan to turn Happy Entertainment around after taking over. Three weeks
later, all the negative news about the artists in Happy Entertainment and the financial report fraud were wiped out.
With that out of the way, Rayna asked Larry out for a meal and handed him an employment contract without stating the salary
amount. An hour of conversation later, he signed the contract and returned to Happy Entertainment.
Happy Entertainment underwent a total reshuffle, and new faces showed up in the upper management of the company. The
newly appointed CEO spared no effort in helping Happy Entertainment make money.
At the same time, the workers in the related department were busy hyping up the scripts Happy Entertainment had purchased
earlier. They even employed video editors to make relevant edits to increase the popularity of the works. After that, the marketing
department of Happy Entertainment would negotiate with companies that were interested and try to make as much profit out of
those aforementioned works.
Based on the suggestions given by the upper management, Rayna kept three of the best works to themselves. They recruited
outstanding actors and actresses before finding talented directors to go through the works. After that, they proceeded to seek
investors.
Happy Entertainment had a stroke of luck when Chandler Vardy, their newly recruited artist, played a supporting role in a
television series because of his charming appearance. The people at Happy Entertainment rebranded him and marketed him.
Within a few months’ time, he rose to fame.
Rayna, on the other hand, had been hard-pressed. She was attending conference after conference, and at times, she even had
to travel out of town for business. In fact, she was so busy that she didn’t even have the time to call Curtis.
However, Rayna was delighted to see how well Happy Entertainment was doing and how much profit the company was
making. Although I’ve been busy, it’s all worth it.
After a business trip, Rayna returned to Norwal City and realized that it had been a while since she spent time with Curtis and
the kids. Right when she was about to call to ask for a few days off, she received a call from Jeremy.
“Rayna, Stella is going into labor,” Jeremy uttered.
“I’ll go over now.” Rayna hung up the phone and gave the driver the address of the place where Stella was being held.
When Rayna arrived, Jeremy went out to greet her and told her that Stella was having trouble giving birth naturally. Hence, she
had to have a cesarean section. However, her life would be drawn to an end after the baby was taken out.
Rayna kept mum and waited with Jeremy.
An hour later, Stella’s surgery was over, and a nurse was seen holding a healthy baby girl while walking out.
“I would like to have a conversation with her.” Rayna averted her gaze from the baby and said to Jeremy, “Give me five minutes.”
Jeremy nodded and walked away.
Rayna went into the delivery room and saw Stella lying on the operating table. At that moment, Stella was drenched in sweat,
and her cheeks were pale. Although she had been given an epidural injection, both her hands were still handcuffed to the edge
of the operating table to prevent her from escaping.
Rayna then stood next to the operating table and stared coldly at Stella. “How could you let Gabriel take the fall for you when you
knew how much he loved you? Why couldn’t you just stop and be with him?”
Stella opened her eyes with difficulty. When she saw Rayna, she tugged her lips into a self-deprecating grin and answered,
“Rayna, you’ve never walked in my shoes. Therefore, you can’t judge me.”
Rayna didn’t reply to that. Instead, she said, “The baby will be kept in the Faymon residence until Gabriel is released from jail.”
“Do you think I would feel grateful for that?” Stella flew into a rage and struggled to get up.
However, not only was she too weak to move after the operation, but her hands were also handcuffed.
Although Rayna started off with less than I had, she now has everything she wants! Besides, she even has someone to guide
her. On the other hand, I had to work hard to get whatever I want! With hatred and dissatisfaction in her eyes, she glared at
Rayna and shouted, “I’m smart and pretty. I didn’t expect you would win against me! You’ve truly been blessed with luck!”
“How could you have won? You’re selfish and inhumane,” Rayna answered calmly. “You would do anything to get what you want,
and you used the people around you. Who would love you?”
Stella chuckled. “Everyone in this world is selfish! Who has never acted of their own accord? I didn’t ask for Gabriel’s affection,
did I? Besides, he voluntarily took the fall for me! If I had known better, I would’ve gotten rid of you without hesitation back then.
Instead, I only thought of torturing you. I was too merciful.”
Indeed, if she were to kill Rayna, she could still run away in time to prevent Curtis from ever finding her.
However, she didn’t think of that and ended up going after Jessica and Jasmine.
Rayna glanced at her watch before turning around to leave.
Coincidentally, Jeremy was walking in with a syringe in his hand. “Are you done talking to her?” he asked.
“Yes.” When Rayna was walking out of the delivery room, she heard Stella swearing loudly. I think it doesn’t take a genius to
figure out what substance was in the syringe Jeremy was holding.
Stella’s swearing turned into pleas for help. The viciousness in her tone while she was talking to Rayna earlier had also
disappeared.
Rayna turned around to see Jeremy forcibly pinning Stella’s arm down and injecting her with the medicine.
“You kept telling everyone how unloved you were. Yet, you personally destroyed the person you loved.” Rayna stared at the
woman on the operating table, and her gaze turned frosty. “I hope Gabriel would never meet a woman like you again.”
Rayna brought the baby back to the mansion in Northville.
Sandy happened to arrive there as well, and she was stunned when she saw Rayna holding a child. “Who does the baby belong
to?”
“Mr. Tylinski.” Rayna handed the baby to a nanny and said to Sandy, “I went to see Stella just now, and she’s already dead.”
Rayna had already told Sandy about all the past events, so Sandy nodded and said, “That girl was pretty, but she was too
vicious. It’s such a shame Mr. Tylinski fell for someone like her. It’s a good thing she died. Otherwise, the baby could get
influenced by her.”
“Is Grandpa doing okay?” Rayna took off her coat and hung it on the rack. “I haven’t seen Grandpa in so long. Perhaps I should
go over with you tonight and have dinner there.”
“You’ve only returned from a business trip. Why don’t you rest and come over tomorrow?”
“I’m all right.”
Rayna then went upstairs to get changed. Just as she was about to bring the kids to the Faymon residence, her phone rang.
“Ms. Garland, you’re back already, aren’t you?” asked the talent director of Happy Entertainment, Larry. “Our television series,
‘Bright Moon’, had officially wrapped up, and we’re having a celebration dinner at Gratia Hotel. Our investors are coming over, so
I wanted to ask if you could come over for dinner.”
Rayna knew how capable Larry was, so unless it was for a crucial matter, he wouldn’t have called to disturb her. I think he wants
me to go over to meet those major investors as a formality.
After careful consideration, Rayna agreed, “Okay. I’ll be there in an hour or so.”
“I won’t be able to have dinner with you guys anymore,” Rayna said to Sandy. “I need to attend a celebration dinner, but I’ll
accompany you and the kids to the Faymon residence first, Mom. I’ll also try to get home as early as I can tonight.”
