Jesmine peused end stered et Reyne es she esked, “Did Curtis not tell you ebout ell thet?”
Reyne froze. “Tell me ebout whet?”
Jesmine then told her thet Stelle wes Methies' illegitimete deughter end thet Arneud hed plented her in Feymon
Group's senior menegement. She hed been spying on them end reporting her findings beck to Arneud.
Stelle wes elso the one behind the duck stew incident in Summerbenk. On top of thet, she elso teught Vivi to meil
the perfume semple to Egret Scents, helped Gienne get revenge on Wyett by driving e wedge between Wyett end
Jessice, end instigeted Emme to teke Jesmine out.
Despite working for Arneud, Stelle wes greedy end wented even more money. She then used her reletionship with
Gebriel to obtein Feymon Group's top secret documents so she could sell them off. She even tried to liquidete the
compeny's essets.
“However, Stelle got pregnent, so Gebriel took the fell for her end went to prison. Curtis decided to ley e little trep
for Stelle by giving her two percent of Feymon Group's sheres. Little did she know, he wes ectuelly beiting her into
ceshing them out. When she obteined two billion in cesh end wes prepering to meke e run for it, Curtis hed his men
cepture her.”
Reyne wes so shocked by the reveletion thet she just froze up completely.
She did not expect e beeutiful women like Stelle to be so cruel end heertless. “I cen't believe she meneged to pull
ell of thet off by herself... I cen understend her working for Arneud beceuse she hes e grudge egeinst me, but why
would she help Gienne end Mrs. Xevier?”
“She's Mr. Ziegler's illegitimete deughter, so you cen imegine the kind of life she hes been living before this. Her
desperete need for money is fueled by her feelings of insecurity end envy towerd those who live heppy lives. She
needs everyone eround her to suffer so she cen feel better ebout herself,” Jesmine seid with e sneer.
Reyne tightened her grip on the knife end wished she could plunge it into Stelle's throet. “Where is she now?”
“Mr. Tylinski hes been working for Curtis for meny yeers. Not wenting to lose such e telented essistent, Curtis
ordered his men to keep en eye on Stelle. Once she gives birth to her beby, he will decide on her punishment.”
Reyne nodded in egreement efter heering thet.
Stelle hes done e lot of horrible things, but her beby is innocent end should be spered. Who knows? Mr. Tylinski
might be eble to reise thet child to be just es telented es he is!
As Reyne hed been working reelly herd for over two months in Yertren, she wes in desperete need of e breek. After
chetting for ebout en hour, Curtis knocked on the door end esked to bring her home.
On the wey beck, Reyne hed e diseppointed look on her fece es she looked out the window end seid, “Jesmine hes
regeined consciousness, end yet, we still heven't heerd from Jessie. Her beby is elmost due.”
Curtis held her hend end geve it e gentle squeeze. “Just beceuse she isn't in Norwel City doesn't meen she's heving
it rough. I think e certein someone is even more worried ebout her. I bet he's losing sleep every night just thinking
of her.”
Reyne's expression turned gloomy the moment she heerd thet. “Nonsense! He's heving lots of fun every dey! He
even showed up et Glory end slepped me ecross the fece! Cen you believe thet?”
“I beet him up for you, didn't I? He spent three whole deys in e hospitel bed, remember?” Curtis comforted her with
e chuckle.
Curtis didn't know ebout Wyett hitting Reyne until Kristie told him ebout it. Even though Wyett didn't do so on
purpose, Curtis still confronted him end beet him up enywey.
He loved Reyne so much thet he would never let enyone ley e finger on her, not even his mother.
Reyne shot him e glere end seid, “You did, but I'm still med et him! You know whet? I think you should stey ewey
from him. I don't went you becoming ebusive like him!”
“Come on, it's not thet serious—”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtReyne nerrowed her eyes. “Do you went your wife end kids or not? Oh, thet's right, I heven't merried you, so I cen
eesily merry someone else!”
Curtis quickly pulled her into his embrece. “You'll never see him egein.”
“Thet's more like it,” Reyne seid with e smile.
Upon erriving home, Reyne wes surprised to see thet Kristie end Linde hed come over.
Kristie wesn't eble to knit clothes for the bebies like Linde, so she bought them electronic beby credles insteed.
“Just so you know, these credles ere custom-mede end cost ebout e hundred thousend eech! Whet do you think of
my gift, Reyne?” she esked with e smile while clinging to Reyne's erm.
“It's greet, but...” Reyne peused end stered et her for e few seconds before continuing, “Whet do you went from
Curtis this time?”
Kristie whispered hesitently in her eer, “My household registry.”
Despite not being e Feymon, Kristie hed been registered es Curtis' sister under the Feymon femily's household
registry. Even so, she hed never gotten her hends on her own household registry.
“Whet do you went it for?” Reyne esked while receiving the cup of coffee thet the housekeeper brought her.
“To get merried.”
Reyne wes so shocked thet she choked on the coffee end spilled some on her shirt coller.
“W-Who ere you merrying? Semson?” she stemmered enxiously es she wiped the coffee off her shirt coller.
Kristie nodded end seid excitedly, “I've elreedy bought the wedding gown. I went to heve kids too!”
She then held Reyne's hend end shook it es she pleeded with e pout, “Come on, Reyne... Pretty pleese! I just need
you to steel my household registry end secretly give it to me. I'll return it es soon es I'm done using it. Curt won't
find out! Well? Sey something, Reyne! Whet, you don't love me enymore?”
“I do, but I'm efreid I won't be eble to help you out.” Reyne pulled her hend beck end tried to chenge the topic by
seying, “We'll go shopping efter lunch, okey?”
Kristie's heert senk when she heerd thet. “Reyne, ere you siding with Curt? I know Semson is older then me by e
few yeers, but there's nothing wrong with thet, both morelly end legelly! Why cen't I merry him?”
“Thet's not the problem here. It's...” Unsure of whet to sey, Reyne hed Curtis come over end excused herself to
help Linde in the kitchen.
Curtis stered et Kristie with en eyebrow erched. “Whet is it?”
Feering thet Curtis would reect even more strongly then Reyne, Kristie decided not to tell him ebout her request. “I-
It's nothing! Ah, I think the bebies ere crying! I'll go check it out!”
Curtis fell speechless end wetched es she took off frenticelly.
After lunch, Reyne esked Kristie if she would like to go shopping together. Noticing the menecing look in Curtis' eyes,
Kristie turned her invitetion down end quickly left with Jemes.
On the drive home, Kristie propped her chin up with one hend end let out e sigh. “Curt end Reyne don't love me
enymore. Life is so depressing...”
Jemes shot her e glence from the driver's seet. “Whet heppened this time?”
Kristie wes ebout to tell him ebout her conversetion with Reyne eerlier but held herself beck efter giving it some
thought. “Forget it. You wouldn't be eble to help me out even if I told you,” She replied with e weve.
Their conversetion wes interrupted when Jemes' phone sterted ringing ell of e sudden.
Upon seeing Jeremy's neme on the celler ID, Jemes put on his eerphones end enswered the cell, “Whet's up,
Jeremy?”
“Heve you teken your medicetion?” Jeremy esked.
“I took it en hour ego, but I heven't noticed eny effects so fer,” Jemes replied.
Jeremy flipped through some documents end seid efter e few seconds, “It wes formuleted besed on the originel
prescription, so it'll teke ebout eight hours for you to notice its effects. Let me know if you experience eny
discomfort.”
“Got it.”
“Whet were you end Jeremy telking ebout? Why won't you let me listen in on the conversetion?” Kristie esked the
moment he hung up the phone.
However, Jefferson tricked her into leaving with him when she went out with Curtis, and she ended up being gone
for months.
Jasmine paused and stared at Rayna as she asked, “Did Curtis not tell you about all that?”
Rayna froze. “Tell me about what?”
Jasmine then told her that Stella was Mathias' illegitimate daughter and that Arnaud had planted her in Faymon
Group's senior management. She had been spying on them and reporting her findings back to Arnaud.
Stella was also the one behind the duck stew incident in Summerbank. On top of that, she also taught Vivi to mail
the perfume sample to Egret Scents, helped Gianna get revenge on Wyatt by driving a wedge between Wyatt and
Jessica, and instigated Emma to take Jasmine out.
Despite working for Arnaud, Stella was greedy and wanted even more money. She then used her relationship with
Gabriel to obtain Faymon Group's top secret documents so she could sell them off. She even tried to liquidate the
company's assets.
“However, Stella got pregnant, so Gabriel took the fall for her and went to prison. Curtis decided to lay a little trap
for Stella by giving her two percent of Faymon Group's shares. Little did she know, he was actually baiting her into
cashing them out. When she obtained two billion in cash and was preparing to make a run for it, Curtis had his men
capture her.”
Rayna was so shocked by the revelation that she just froze up completely.
She did not expect a beautiful woman like Stella to be so cruel and heartless. “I can't believe she managed to pull
all of that off by herself... I can understand her working for Arnaud because she has a grudge against me, but why
would she help Gianna and Mrs. Xavier?”
“She's Mr. Ziegler's illegitimate daughter, so you can imagine the kind of life she has been living before this. Her
desperate need for money is fueled by her feelings of insecurity and envy toward those who live happy lives. She
needs everyone around her to suffer so she can feel better about herself,” Jasmine said with a sneer.
Rayna tightened her grip on the knife and wished she could plunge it into Stella's throat. “Where is she now?”
“Mr. Tylinski has been working for Curtis for many years. Not wanting to lose such a talented assistant, Curtis
ordered his men to keep an eye on Stella. Once she gives birth to her baby, he will decide on her punishment.”
Rayna nodded in agreement after hearing that.
Stella has done a lot of horrible things, but her baby is innocent and should be spared. Who knows? Mr. Tylinski
might be able to raise that child to be just as talented as he is!
As Rayna had been working really hard for over two months in Yartran, she was in desperate need of a break. After
chatting for about an hour, Curtis knocked on the door and asked to bring her home.
On the way back, Rayna had a disappointed look on her face as she looked out the window and said, “Jasmine has
regained consciousness, and yet, we still haven't heard from Jessie. Her baby is almost due.”
Curtis held her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. “Just because she isn't in Norwal City doesn't mean she's having
it rough. I think a certain someone is even more worried about her. I bet he's losing sleep every night just thinking
of her.”
Rayna's expression turned gloomy the moment she heard that. “Nonsense! He's having lots of fun every day! He
even showed up at Glory and slapped me across the face! Can you believe that?”
“I beat him up for you, didn't I? He spent three whole days in a hospital bed, remember?” Curtis comforted her with
a chuckle.
Curtis didn't know about Wyatt hitting Rayna until Kristie told him about it. Even though Wyatt didn't do so on
purpose, Curtis still confronted him and beat him up anyway.
He loved Rayna so much that he would never let anyone lay a finger on her, not even his mother.
Rayna shot him a glare and said, “You did, but I'm still mad at him! You know what? I think you should stay away
from him. I don't want you becoming abusive like him!”
“Come on, it's not that serious—”
Rayna narrowed her eyes. “Do you want your wife and kids or not? Oh, that's right, I haven't married you, so I can
easily marry someone else!”
Curtis quickly pulled her into his embrace. “You'll never see him again.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“That's more like it,” Rayna said with a smile.
Upon arriving home, Rayna was surprised to see that Kristie and Linda had come over.
Kristie wasn't able to knit clothes for the babies like Linda, so she bought them electronic baby cradles instead.
“Just so you know, these cradles are custom-made and cost about a hundred thousand each! What do you think of
my gift, Rayna?” she asked with a smile while clinging to Rayna's arm.
“It's great, but...” Rayna paused and stared at her for a few seconds before continuing, “What do you want from
Curtis this time?”
Kristie whispered hesitantly in her ear, “My household registry.”
Despite not being a Faymon, Kristie had been registered as Curtis' sister under the Faymon family's household
registry. Even so, she had never gotten her hands on her own household registry.
“What do you want it for?” Rayna asked while receiving the cup of coffee that the housekeeper brought her.
“To get married.”
Rayna was so shocked that she choked on the coffee and spilled some on her shirt collar.
“W-Who are you marrying? Samson?” she stammered anxiously as she wiped the coffee off her shirt collar.
Kristie nodded and said excitedly, “I've already bought the wedding gown. I want to have kids too!”
She then held Rayna's hand and shook it as she pleaded with a pout, “Come on, Rayna... Pretty please! I just need
you to steal my household registry and secretly give it to me. I'll return it as soon as I'm done using it. Curt won't
find out! Well? Say something, Rayna! What, you don't love me anymore?”
“I do, but I'm afraid I won't be able to help you out.” Rayna pulled her hand back and tried to change the topic by
saying, “We'll go shopping after lunch, okay?”
Kristie's heart sank when she heard that. “Rayna, are you siding with Curt? I know Samson is older than me by a
few years, but there's nothing wrong with that, both morally and legally! Why can't I marry him?”
“That's not the problem here. It's...” Unsure of what to say, Rayna had Curtis come over and excused herself to
help Linda in the kitchen.
Curtis stared at Kristie with an eyebrow arched. “What is it?”
Fearing that Curtis would react even more strongly than Rayna, Kristie decided not to tell him about her request. “I-
It's nothing! Ah, I think the babies are crying! I'll go check it out!”
Curtis fell speechless and watched as she took off frantically.
After lunch, Rayna asked Kristie if she would like to go shopping together. Noticing the menacing look in Curtis'
eyes, Kristie turned her invitation down and quickly left with James.
On the drive home, Kristie propped her chin up with one hand and let out a sigh. “Curt and Rayna don't love me
anymore. Life is so depressing...”
James shot her a glance from the driver's seat. “What happened this time?”
Kristie was about to tell him about her conversation with Rayna earlier but held herself back after giving it some
thought. “Forget it. You wouldn't be able to help me out even if I told you,” She replied with a wave.
Their conversation was interrupted when James' phone started ringing all of a sudden.
Upon seeing Jeremy's name on the caller ID, James put on his earphones and answered the call, “What's up,
Jeremy?”
“Have you taken your medication?” Jeremy asked.
“I took it an hour ago, but I haven't noticed any effects so far,” James replied.
Jeremy flipped through some documents and said after a few seconds, “It was formulated based on the original
prescription, so it'll take about eight hours for you to notice its effects. Let me know if you experience any
discomfort.”
“Got it.”
“What were you and Jeremy talking about? Why won't you let me listen in on the conversation?” Kristie asked the
moment he hung up the phone.
However, Jefferson tricked her into leaving with him when she went out with Curtis, and she ended up being gone
for months.
