Dear Sweetheart novel

Rayna was in no mood to wonder what made him change so much, for she was more concerned about Jessica’s

whereabouts. “I went to your house the other day and Mrs. Lopez says Jessie is on a business trip. Is that true?”

Wyatt merely hummed in response.

Rayna’s expression instantly darkened, and she raged, “You’re lying! I looked into it. Jessie resigned from Faymon

Group long ago!”

“What does that have to do with me? We broke up long ago. Where she goes is none of my business, and I’m

allowed to explain to my mother however I want.”

“You broke up with her?” Rayna stomped over and grabbed him by the tie. “Did you know she was pregnant when

you broke up with her?”

Wyatt shrugged as if he did not care. “I do, but so what? She’s not the only woman in my life. Being pregnant

doesn’t make her any special.”

Rayna’s hands trembled with fury. “Wyatt, she’s pregnant with your child!”

“Oh. If she’s willing to give birth to the baby, I’ll take care of it. If not, she can just abort it. Abortion is just a piece of

—”

Rayna gave him a hard slap, which made her palm go numb.

Gabriel inhaled sharply upon seeing that.

Wyatt’s head tilted to one side from the impact. He remained in that position for quite some time, with one side of

his cheek stinging.

As soon as he returned to his senses, he pinned a death glare on Rayna. “How dare you slap me?”

Seeing that Wyatt was about to hit her, Gabriel stepped in and pulled her to the back. At the same time, he flashed

the former an apologetic smile. “Mr. Lopez, this is a misunderstanding! It’s just an accident. Ms. Garland didn’t

mean it. Please carry on with your work. We shall take our leave and not disturb you anymore.”

Gabriel grabbed Rayna by the hand and fled the office.

Only after they left the office did Gabriel let out a sigh of relief. Shaking with fear, he said, “Ms. Garland, you were

too—you can’t just slap him even if he broke up with Ms. Marsh.”

With a grim look, Rayna said, “Did you hear what he said just now? He said Jessie isn’t the only woman he has and

that she can get an abortion if she doesn’t want to keep the child. Damn it!”

If not for Gabriel holding on to her, she would have barged into the office and given Wyatt a few more slaps.

Sighing, Gabriel admitted, “Mr. Lopez can be quite a jerk. Anyway, don’t pick a fight with him. His character has

changed a lot, and he’ll lash out at anyone over a tiny matter. In fact, everyone in Lopez Group fears him.”

Rayna hissed, “I’d love to see him die of anger! Back then, I even told Jessie he’s turned over a new leaf and that

she should value him. Damn it! I was the fool all along. A leopard never changes its spots!”

Gabriel could not help but warn her, “Please don’t talk about Mr. Lopez like that.”

To his horror, Rayna raised her voice. “Am I wrong? Back then, he shamelessly did everything to pursue Jessie. Now

that he’s bored with her, he’s telling her to do whatever she wants with the child. Ugh! He’s worse than a dog! A

guy like him who doesn’t take life seriously doesn’t deserve to have children. In fact, he deserves to be infertile!”

“Shh! Lower your voice, Ms. Garland! Mr. Lopez isn’t in a good mood. Things won’t go well if he hears you. You’d

better not get into a fight with him.” Gabriel felt the urge to cover her mouth.

“I won’t! In fact, I’m willing to pay to get him on the news! I’m going to make him famous!”

Gabriel said truthfully, “News can be taken down as quickly as they’re published. Ms. Garland, don’t forget you’re

currently working for Glory Corporation. Mr. Lopez can easily destroy your company. Besides, it’ll only make things

difficult for Mr. Faymon if you pick a fight with Mr. Lopez. Mr. Faymon is treating you well because of your past

relationship with him. You don’t want to make Mr. Faymon lose a friend, do you?”

His words managed to calm her down.

He’s right. I don’t need to pick a fight with Wyatt. It’ll only put Curtis in a difficult position.

Rayna stopped yelling and spoke calmly. “Mr. Tylinski, I know you’re a skillful person. Can you help me find out

where Jessie went these past few months?”

Rayna was extremely worried about Jessica. She did not know why the latter had broken up with Wyatt and

disappeared.

Gabriel nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll let you know as soon as I find something.”

“Thank you,” said Rayna. Suddenly, a figure passed by in front of her before she could even react.

The stranger was in such a rush that she almost caused Rayna to trip.

Thankfully, Gabriel caught hold of her. “Are you okay, Ms. Garland?”

“I’m fine.” Rayna steadied herself and frowned as she stared at the woman.

The woman wore expensive clothes and had long, bright green hair. She looked like a daughter of a rich family.

Just then, Rayna recalled the woman she saw sitting in the passenger seat of Wyatt’s sports car. I think she had the

same hair, too.

Rayna’s gaze darkened, and she hissed, “This jerk! He just broke up, and now he can’t wait to show off his girlfriend

at the office. I won’t forgive him if anything happens to Jessie!”

Gabriel sighed inwardly.

He, too, thought Wyatt was a jerk.

Meanwhile, Scarlett Yancey stumbled into the CEO’s office without even knocking on the door.

The commotion made Wyatt lose his temper. He fumed, “Don’t you know how to knock on the door before

entering?”

The moment he noticed Scarlett was the visitor, his expression changed drastically, and he put down his pen. “Why

are you here?”

Scarlett threw herself in front of Wyatt, looking utterly pitiful. “Please let me off, Mr. Lopez. I didn’t do anything to

offend you. Why are you doing this to me?”

Caressing her face, Wyatt said gently, “I love you. Isn’t it a good thing?”

“Then why did you drug me? Why did you get someone to do that to me and even take a video of it? My mom

fainted with anger when she saw the pictures. She’s now in the hospital,” Scarlett wailed, devastated.

Wyatt raised his brow. “Your mom isn’t dead?”

Upon hearing that, Scarlett burst into tears.

Wyatt pinched her chin and pulled her toward him. “Don’t cry, don’t cry. You’re breaking my heart. Who knew

you’re such a brave person despite your gentle and pitiful appearance? Your mother is so lucky to have a daughter

like you who hides the truth about her husband cheating on her. You even cleaned up his mess. Gosh, you should be

given an award.”

“M-Mr. Lopez, what are you talking about? I don’t get you.” Scarlett feigned a calm look, but tears continued

streaming down her cheeks.

Wyatt let out a low chuckle and pinched her chin harder. “You were the one who forced Bianca to her death,

weren’t you? You bribed someone to defame her and pressured her parents to their death, too. Never thought this

day would come, huh?”

Scarlett’s eyes widened as she stared at him. “Y-You—”

“With connections and money, there’s nothing I can’t find. Wasn’t it the same for you? That’s how you managed to

clean up your dad’s mess, no?” Wyatt asked with a smile.

“I have nothing to do with Bianca’s and her parents’ death! Someone killed her because they feared she’d expose

them. I didn’t do it,” Scarlett blurted out.

Wyatt scoffed, “Are you sure it’s not you who feared she’d expose the secret of your dad’s company? You feared

she would tell your mom about it and that your family’s company would fall. That’s why you attacked their family,

right?”

“I didn’t—”

Wyatt gripped her neck, making her tremble in pain and unable to speak.

“There’s no point in lying and pretending to be pitiful and weak in front of me. Killing you is easy, but I can make

your life a living hell if I rid you of your wealth and power. You’ll be bullied for life,” Wyatt uttered coldly.

Although his tone was gentle, his expression was hostile. “Since you love cleaning up your dad’s mess and behaving

so arrogantly, I’ll let you have a taste of what it’s like being powerless and forced to your death.”
