His Precious Love

Chapter 136 Protective Curtis

“Everyone has their own choices. Some people want a quiet life, and some people want an exciting life. Rayna’s the former,” Jeremy said. “She thought she was the reason the accident happened, and she has been wracked with guilt the entire time. That was why she had been trying to take on everything by herself when something as big as this happened to Faymon Group. She was trying to protect Faymon Group for you. Curtis, have you ever thought about what she would do if she found out that this was all your plan and that you were lying to her?”

Jeremy’s words were straightforward, and they struck right at Curtis’ sore spot.

Curtis’ expression darkened.

For some reason, he felt as if his heart had been squeezed by someone when he thought about the look of devastation Rayna would have if she were to find out that he was the mastermind behind it all.

Curtis had been in the corporate world where tricks and cunning were commonplace for a long time. He had used so many people, but it was his first time feeling like this.

And he did not like the feeling.

“That’s enough, Jeremy,” Wyatt cut in upon noticing the atmosphere getting tenser and tenser. “Curtis is just trying to force out Rayna’s potential; he’s not using her. Besides, Curtis has given Rayna plenty of good deals.”

“Curtis was wrong to have brought Rayna into this plan, but you’re still trying to defend him?” Jeremy whipped his head to glare daggers at Wyatt. “Would you have said the same thing if she was your little sister?”

Wyatt shrugged. “I’m the only child; I don’t have a little sister. Hey, Jeremy, it’s only been a few days since you’ve known Rayna, but you’re already so protective of her. What’s the matter? Have you fallen for her?”

“I just don’t want all of Faymon Group’s matters to end up on her shoulders.”

“My, my, the more I listen to you, the more I think you’re interested in Rayna.”

Curtis felt ill at ease with their conversation, and irritation was starting to grow in his chest.

“I know what I’m doing, so stop babbling away about this. Since I’m now awake, this burden isn’t only hers to bear. But I still don’t need your help.”

“Curtis, we agreed to bear this weight together,” Wyatt muttered worriedly and unhappily. “We all know what kind of tricks Chester Faymon would pull. Are we supposed to sit back and watch as something happens to you?”

“Don’t you know the risks I take in my plans?” Curtis said confidently with a small smile.

“But…”
