Dear Sweetheart novel

Meanwhile, the sales of Glory’s new products exceeded all expectations. Supported by a wave of positive consumer

reviews, the factory began preparing a second batch for sale when stocks of the first batch had largely been drawn

down.

Once the busy period at Glory was over, Rayna applied for a long leave to prepare for her wedding at the end of

the month.

As for her bridesmaid, she chose two—Kristie and Roxanne.

Upon learning of the news, Roxanne rushed back from overseas and questioned Rayna the moment she saw her.

“Rayna, are you sure about this? I thought you had feelings for Mr. Faymon. Why—”

“Obviously, I wouldn’t marry him if I wasn’t sure. This is a big decision after all.” While speaking, she gave Roxanne

a pinch. “Anyway, Jefferson has told me everything, so why aren’t you on board now that I’m marrying him?”

Roxanne exclaimed, “He really did?”

“There’s no reason for him to hide anything from me now that we’re about to get married.” Rayna added, “As for

you, how could you not be grateful after what he has done for you?”

“Come on, you’re overreacting.” With her face being pinched by Rayna, Roxanne mumbled, “I was just helping

Jefferson monitor you, not like I did anything else.”

“I’m surprised you still got the cheek to bring it up!”

Roxanne tucked her head between her shoulders after being yelled at. Thereafter, she quickly changed the topic.

“Have you ordered the bridesmaid dress? How does it look?”

“Are you trying to outshine me? Don’t forget that I’m the one getting married!” Rayna rolled her eyes at her sister.

It was then that something occurred to her. “Have you seen Cillian recently?”

“Not really. He’s still in Xyperia.” Roxanne picked up an apple from the fruit plate and bit into it. “On my way back, I

gave him a call and told him about your wedding. He told me to convey his wishes and get you a gift on his behalf.”

Roxanne’s brows knitted as she continued in an upset tone, “I have no idea what he’s doing there, and now, he

seldom takes my calls. At the rate things are going, he’ll probably forget that I’m his girlfriend.”

Rayna instantly knew that he was there because of Theodore.

After all, other than her brother and Cillian, there were very few competent bodyguards whom Curtis could trust.

However, the thought of James’ death brought a grim look to Rayna’s eyes.

Despite having left James’ ashes at the funeral home for a long time, she still didn’t dare tell Linda about it.

“Rayna, what’s wrong?” When she saw Rayna’s face turn pale abruptly, Roxanne probed, “Is there something you

can’t tell me? Do you actually not want to marry Jefferson?”

Deep down, Roxanne had always felt Rayna’s breakup with Curtis was too abrupt. Now that the latter was rushing

to marry Jefferson, she couldn’t help but feel that something was amiss.

Even though she liked the idea of having Jefferson as her brother-in-law, she still wanted Rayna to find happiness.

“I almost forgot!” Roxanne scanned the surroundings and asked curiously, “I just noticed that I have not seen

James. Where has that brat gone to? Is he still together with Kristie?”

Feeling a squeeze in her heart, Rayna pursed her lips as she replied, “He… is still overseas and can’t return for the

time being.”

“But I’m busy too. In fact, I had to beg the film crew to give me two weeks off!” Roxanne snorted in response. “How

can he not attend something as important as your wedding? I don’t care. I’m going to call him and give him an

earful!”

“He has turned off his phone. You can’t reach him.” Rayna added, “Enough of that. Come and check out the

bridesmaid dress.”

Roxanne put away her phone and walked over. “Is it gorgeous? If not, I’m going to wear my own gown instead.”

Rayna didn’t know what to say.

Meanwhile, the wedding of Glory’s CEO was a high-profile event where the press scrambled for the opportunity to

report on it.

Those who received the invitation flaunted it publicly, whereas those who didn’t could only look on with green-eyed

envy while trying to secure it through back channels.

In addition, all of Glory’s business partners and friends of the couple were also invited.

The next day, one of the wedding invitations arrived at Faymon Group.

The instant Gabriel saw what it was, he regretted personally accepting the delivery instead of letting Tilly do it.

Sending this to the CEO’s office would be suicide!

After pondering over his dilemma, Gabriel steeled himself and entered Curtis’ office.

“Mr. Faymon,” Gabriel said as he warily placed the invitation on the table, “Glory’s CEO sent this wedding invitation

over.”

When Curtis looked up at the invitation on the table, his eyes narrowed as he went on to open it.

Upon flipping it open, he was greeted by a picture of the wedding couple wearing gentle smiles. The details of the

invitation were written beside it together with both their signatures.

However, Curtis sneered in response.

Jefferson really knows how to get on my nerves. He must be worried that I wouldn’t attend the wedding. That’s why

he got someone to send the invitation here!

While waiting, Gabriel could clearly sense the tension in the air and see Curtis’ darkening expression. He even felt a

chill down his spine as panic began to set in.

He then suggested, “Mr. Faymon, if there’s nothing else—”

Curtis interrupted him, “Mr. Hennessey of Ocean International just called me. Do you know what he wants?”

The question stunned Gabriel. “I don’t. I have not received any calls from his company.”

After chuckling the invitation aside, Curtis flatly explained, “He told me that he received an email last night relating

to the proposal for Project C. The sender demanded a billion for it. Otherwise, he would send it to three of our

competitors.”

“Really?” The stunned Gabriel gasped. “Only the representative of Ocean International and we know about the

project which is top secret. How did it leak out?”

Curtis stared at him with a grim look in his eyes. “Mr. Tylinski, what do you think?”

“Mr. Faymon, the document has always been locked in the safe. As for my access to the archives room, you can

check the surveillance feeds for it.” Cognizant that Curtis suspected him, Gabriel immediately defended his

innocence. “After working for you for so many years, I’m well aware of where my boundaries lie.”

“I know.” Curtis tapped his finger on the document while exuding an icy aura. “Ocean International suspects that

there’s a mole at our end. Thus, the project is now canceled.”

“Don’t we have the same reason to suspect them too?” Gabriel volunteered, “Mr. Faymon, I’ll definitely get to the

bottom of this and not allow them to pin such an accusation on us.”

Curtis hummed in agreement.

Nevertheless, when he caught a glimpse of the invitation again, he felt a piercing pain in his head as he instructed

Gabriel, “I’m heading to Xyperia on Friday, so book my flight tickets for me.”

Gabriel knew that Curtis was concerned about Theodore. “With Cillian there, I’m sure there’s nothing to be worried

about.”

“Just get it done.”

“Yes, of course.”

No sooner had Gabriel emerged from Curtis’ office than it dawned upon him that something was not right.

Whipping out his phone to check the calendar, he realized that next Friday was the twenty-fifth.

Oh? No wonder Mr. Faymon insists that I book him the flight ticket.

On the morning of the twenty-fifth, Curtis was sent to the airport where he would fly off to Xyperia.

Upon entering the terminal with his luggage in tow, he was greeted by a live telecast on the huge screen hung

above his head. The camera angle was showing the interior of St. Paterlica’s Church and the guests who gradually

arrived.

The sight triggered Curtis’ exasperation.

What’s the big deal about the wedding? Is it really necessary to reserve the airport’s screen for the event? That’s

so lame.

After being ushered into the VIP lounge, Curtis heard his phone ring before he could take a seat.

Curtis slid to answer with a furrow of his brows. “I’m at the airport, preparing to fly to Xyperia.”
