Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Spoiled By Him

“It’s true that Julian cheated on you, but haven’t you done the same? And you still have the cheek to act all righteous in front of the reporters. That night, Curt carried you into the hotel and both of you spent the night there!”

Rayna was shocked to hear those words. She did not expect Kristie to know about that. However, she quickly composed herself and said in realization, “So, you were the one who sent those pictures to Meredith?”

If that was the case, it would make sense that those photos only showed Curtis’ back.

“So what if I did it? Women like you are the worst!” Kristie did not bother to deny. “Do you think using underhand methods like sleeping with Curt would make him fall for you?”

Rayna felt a jolt of anger when she heard that.

That night, after catching Julian with his mistress, Rayna had gone to the bar in a fit of rage, intending to take revenge by sleeping with a random attractive man. However, she happened to bump into Julian’s uncle, Curtis.

Under the influence of alcohol, she picked up the courage to seduce Curtis and ended up sleeping with him. However, she regretted it immediately when she woke up the next day and did not want to have anything to do with the man. She did not expect Curtis to approach her for help subsequently and create multiple situations for them to interact with each other.

I might have taken the first step that night, but Curtis is definitely not an innocent party!

“You don’t have anything to say because you know that I’m right, isn’t it?” Seeing that Rayna did not refute her allegation, Kristie continued in an even haughtier tone, “You’re not the only one. Your sister is

also another shameless b*tch!”

Taking a pause, she continued, “I don’t know who your sister had hooked up with. Not only did she snatch my resources and endorsement deal away, but she even challenged me! I’m just choosing to stay away from trouble so that Curt wouldn’t be upset with me. Otherwise, I’ll make sure your sister’s career in the entertainment industry is ruined!”

A cold glint appeared in Rayna’s eyes before she let go of Kristie’s hand and gave the woman a tight slap across her cheek.

Feeling dumbstruck by Rayna’s sudden action, Kristie touched her cheek which was slightly numb while looking at Rayna with widened eyes. “You… Did you just hit me?”

“Yup. You asked for it,” Rayna replied expressionlessly before saying coldly, “Even though you’re capable enough to gain the backing of Faymon Group, you can’t deny the fact that others might also have worked hard for their achievements.”

“Even Curt couldn’t bear to hit me. How dare you slap me!” Rayna’s words fell on deaf ears as Kristie was simply too enraged after being slapped.

The next moment, Kristie charged toward Rayna who fell to the ground as she was unable to dodge in time. Kristie continued to shriek hysterically while tugging at the other woman’s hair and pinching her face. Meanwhile, Rayna refused to be outdone, and the two women started scuffling on the floor.

The commotion in the living room attracted Curtis’ attention.

After putting on his bathrobe, the man quickly headed downstairs and saw the two women entangled in a fight. Kristie’s piercing high-pitched screams were reverberating in the air.

With a darkened expression, Curtis bellowed, “What are both of you doing!”

“Curt!” When Kristie saw Curtis, she scrambled to stand up and pointed to the side of her face that was hit by Rayna. “This woman slapped me just now! Even you can’t bear to hit me! How can she do that?”

Tears started streaming down the woman’s face as she spoke.

As Kristie was in a disheveled state with half of her face swollen, Curtis wiped her tears away before looking toward Rayna.

“Ms. Garland, care to explain what happened?”

Rayna stood on the spot and replied calmly, “Ms. Winton was unable to control her mouth and scolded both me and my sister. Besides, she was the one who attacked me first. I had only hit her to defend myself.”

“You’re lying! I didn’t hit you!” Given that Curtis did not see it, there was no way Kristie would admit to that. “You’re the one who slapped me. How can you be so shameless?”

“Kristie!” Curtis chided. With a solemn expression, he continued, “Is what she said true?”

“Of course not!” Kristie stomped her feet and replied. Noticing that the man was wearing a bathrobe, the woman tried to change the topic. “Curt, didn’t you say you don’t like her? If that’s the case, why is she here? And she’s dressed so skimpily!”

“Ms. Winton, open your eyes wide and look carefully. How is this skimpy?” Rayna pointed to the tank top she was wearing before continuing, “Look at how thick this material is. Other than my two arms, which other parts of my body are exposed?”

She then paused and continued, “Ms. Winton, aren’t you the one who’s dressed skimpily instead? The crop top you’re wearing barely covers your belly button. And look at how short your hot pants are! How can my ankle pants be compared to that?”

Kristie glared at the woman while saying, “Shut up! You have no right to speak here!”

“Since this is Mr. Faymon’s house, it’s up to him to decide if I have the right to speak,” Rayna replied with a smile while crossing her arms in front of her chest.

“You!”

“That’s enough!” Curtis said with a darkened expression, breaking off the argument between the two women.

Kristie stomped her feet and grabbed Curtis’ arms. Swinging the man’s arms, Kristie said coquettishly, “Curt, I didn’t bully her. She was the one who slapped me. You have to do me justice!” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“She wouldn’t have hit you if you didn’t bully her or say anything harsh.” Although Curtis did not see what had happened, he knew Kristie’s personality very well. “Stop making a big fuss over it. This matter is over.”

“Curt!”

Curtis shot Kristie a sharp glance. Seeing that, Kristie kept quiet at once and pouted in frustration.

“She is an employee of Faymon Group and she’s just here to help me with some work,” Curtis said before noticing the mess at the door. “Was it you who brought the cake here? Clean it up.”

“No! I’m not doing it!” Looking extremely displeased, Kristie replied, “She should be the one cleaning up instead. If she didn’t open the door, I wouldn’t have dropped the cake out of fright.”

The corners of Rayna’s lips twitched when she heard that.

Ha! More like you were the one who gave me a shock.

“Kristie, I’m not going to repeat myself.” With his expression darkening, Curtis continued, “You’re not supposed to be here given that you’re still grounded. I’ll deal with you later.”

“All right. I’ll clean up, okay?” Kristie no longer dared to talk back and started clearing the mess reluctantly.

Rayna patted her chest and let out a silent sigh of relief.

In fact, she was so nervous earlier that her heart was thumping wildly. She knew that Curtis doted on Kristie and was worried that he would punish her for hitting the woman. As such, she was relieved that he did not defend Kristie blindly.

Rayna headed to the kitchen and packed some food before saying goodbye to Curtis. “Mr. Faymon, I’ll be back tomorrow.”

Kristie, who was wiping the floor near the door, glared at the woman and said, “You don’t have to come. Get Gabriel to come here instead!”

She truly detested Rayna.

“Kristie, stop this nonsense,” Curtis chided before he turned toward Rayna and nodded. “Be careful on the road.”

Rayna nodded in response.

After walking down the stairs, Rayna could not help but look back. Kristie was kneeling at the door while wiping the floor. Feeling aggrieved, she was crying, complaining that Curtis no longer loved her. A moment later, Curtis appeared.

After wiping away Kristie’s tears, the man told her to wash her hands while he rang the cleaner.

Suddenly, Rayna felt envious of Kristie.

She could tell that Curtis genuinely doted on the woman. Even though Kristie was rather unreasonable, the man had only reprimanded her slightly. Moreover, when he saw her tears, he asked her to stop cleaning at once.

How lucky she is to be spoiled by such a man, in addition to having Faymon Group’s support.

The next morning, Rayna went to the office to settle some work before heading to Curtis’ place at around ten in the morning. She did not expect to see Kristie sitting on the stairs, playing with her phone.

Isn’t she a celebrity? Why is she here? Doesn’t she need to work?

Rayna pretended not to see Kristie as she walked past her. Then, she took out her keycard and tapped on the card reader at the door.

“Hey, where did you get the card from?” Kristie kept her phone and stood up before saying rudely to Rayna, “Mr. Tylinski is the only one who has the card. Curt did not even give one to me. Did you steal it?”

Kristie could not help but feel sour about it.

She had begged Curtis many times to let her have a keycard, but the man had rejected her every single time. Why does this woman get to have one?
