Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 170 Putting On A Show

“Indeed. Ms. Garland has been exceptionally loyal to Faymon Group. She’s been taking care of Curtis with so much devotion. If I didn’t know better, I would think that she’s in love with him!” Jason chimed in.

Rayna started frowning upon hearing his sarcastic insinuations.

They were talking about her, but their remarks were all directed at Curtis. Rayna was about to speak up on behalf of Curtis, but Alfred patted her hand gently and said, “It’s okay.”

Rayna pursed her lips and held her tongue.

“Shouldn’t you greet your ex-mother-in-law since she’s here?” asked Jason, clearly enjoying himself. “Too bad we don’t know where Julian has run off to. If he’s here, it’ll be even more interesting.”

Brooklyn laughed and added, “It seems like you’re still holding a grudge, Ms. Garland. Oh, well, it’s understandable since Julian was the one who had an affair in the first place. His mother sided with him and not you. If I were you, I wouldn’t greet her too.”

“That’s enough. Pipe down,” said Sienna, pretending to advise them against talking anymore.

“Why?” asked Brooklyn, feeling aggrieved. “I’m just praising Ms. Garland. She managed to climb up to such a high position as an interpreter. Not only that, but she also has good taste. She only has eyes for the men in our family.”

“Since you seem to have much to say, let me assist you,” said Curtis impassively, finally speaking up.

He then instructed the housekeeper to bring a platform over.

After the one-meter tall platform was brought into the living hall, Curtis pointed at it and said, “Brooklyn, Jason, go give a speech up there to liven up the atmosphere.”

Curtis was clearly putting them on the spot and making them perform like circus monkeys.

Brooklyn did not expect Curtis to take it so seriously. Her face fell as she replied, “My throat is all dry from speaking just now.”

“Then bring a bottle of water with you to hydrate yourself,” said Curtis in an imposing tone. “Go on.”

Brooklyn turned to look at Sienna.

Before Sienna could say anything, Curtis cut in, “Two people is indeed too few.”

Sienna did not miss the underlying meaning of those words. Her expression darkened, but she did not say anything.
