Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 508

Curtis lowered his head and read his document with the hope that he could be distracted. “You think too much. She was the one who initiated the break up, and I agreed. Moreover, she’s pregnant with another person’s child and is tying the knot soon. I should give her my blessings,” he replied calmly.

Carl was dubious about his answer. “Mr. Curtis, that’s not what is currently written all over your face.”

Since Curtis deliberately ignored him, Carl leaned forward and tested the waters. “Mr. Curtis, did you know that Ms. Rayna was arrested previously?”

“Was she?” Curtis raised his head and looked at the young fellow. “When was that?”

“Huh? You didn’t know about this, Mr. Curtis?” Carl widened his eyes in shock. “It happened during your business trip. The incident created a big hoo-ha, so I thought you knew!”

“How did she get arrested? Tell me everything.”

Thus, Carl updated Curtis on everything, starting from how Egret Scents alleged Glory for plagiarizing their products. The former also shared that Rayna was in lock-up for ten days upon being suspected of murdering a pregnant lady.

Carl added, “When Ms. Rayna got into trouble, Aunt Kristie contacted you umpteen times, but to no avail. Your phone was completely switched off the whole time. In the end, Ms. Jessica was the one who met up with the other party and requested they drop the charges.”

“I was dealing with some work matters abroad, and the phone was not allowed then.” At that moment, Curtis’ face was as black as thunder. “I didn’t expect such a thing to happen.”

When he was negotiating with Vivi’s family, he agreed to compensate them fifty million. Out of guilt and goodwill, he also gifted them another property located in the city center of Summerbank.

With that, Curtis thought that the matter was resolved amicably. Unbeknownst to him, the other party became so greedy that they went after Rayna.

“Aunt Kristie and I could not contribute much, and we watched them take Ms. Rayna away. Thankfully, there’s Ms. Jessica. Had she not made them withdraw the charges, Ms. Rayna would have suffered a great loss in her career and reputation as soon as the case was brought to court.”

Curtis asked, “Was there a media frenzy when I wasn’t around?”

“Of course! The news was trending all over Twitter and appeared as the ultimate headline on many other websites,” answered Carl. “The reporters even camped outside of Glory to ambush the top management. You won’t be able to imagine how outrageous those people were.”

“There was such an uproar. Yet, I didn’t even hear the slightest update about it since my return.” Curtis chuckled coldly as a menacing gaze flashed across his eyes. “It seems like someone knows my schedule like the back of his hand.”

The news spread like wildfire when I was abroad, and everyone in the country was aware of it. Conversely, everything went silent the moment I’m back.

Carl was not a fool. He could read between the lines, and he knew exactly what Curtis was implying. “Are you saying that somebody had it all planned out to hurt Ms. Rayna in your absence, Mr. Curtis?”

“There’s no need for you to be concerned. I’ll deal with it myself,” Curtis said indifferently.
