Chapter 429

Rayna’s expression froze, and her heart sank.

She knew well what he meant.

He’s not denying it. The pictures in the newspaper aren’t baseless rumors. He’s in a relationship with Stella. Looks like I was just overthinking things. Curtis has already put things behind him.

Curtis felt his heart ache a little when he saw her head hung low and looking gloomy. Even so, he said nothing about that. He only asked, “Are you full?”

“Yes.”

When Curtis noticed it was still raining cats and dogs outside, he felt a pang of sympathy. “Looks like the rain won’t be stopping tonight. It’s not safe to drive in the rain. You can sleep in the guest room tonight. I’m going to deal with some matters first.”

Bobbing her head, Rayna said, “Thank you, Mr. Faymon.”

Curtis’ gaze turned gloomy when he heard her words.

Just as he arrived at his study upstairs, his phone rang. It was a call from Jasper.

“Mr. Faymon, didn’t we agree the profits from this collaboration will be split equally between both parties? How did it get changed to a seventy-to-thirty ratio in just one night?” asked Jasper as soon as the call was connected.

Curtis replied nonchalantly, “I contribute the most. Besides, the employees belong to my company. It’s only reasonable that it’s a seventy-to-thirty ratio.”

Jasper, who had always been calm and gentle, could not help but curse. “Damn it! Me bumping into Ms. Garland at the club was a total coincidence. I took her to the private room only because I wanted to train her. If you’re mad about it, you should take it out on Mr. Reed. Do you have to be so cruel by secretly setting me up on the project?”

“She’ll only be hearing vulgar content if she hangs out with a group of men. I bet you just wanted to let others bully her,” Curtis sneered.

“You guys have broken up, and you refused to sell her the oranges. Why are you playing hero now?”

Curtis snapped, “Still, I won’t let anyone bully my person. The project will have a seventy-to-thirty ratio. Take it or leave it.”

With that, he hung up, feeling extremely frustrated.

He did not understand why he still thought of Rayna when they had already broken up.
