Dear sweetheart novel (Rayna and Julian)
Chapter 29
Dear Sweetheart Chapter 29 The Audacity
Julian has gotten into a car accident?
Rayna furrowed her brows. She remembered that Julian had always been a cautious driver. Thus, the fact that Julian got into a car accident did not make sense to her.
As much as she was perplexed, she could not help the feeling of smugness rising in her chest.
After all, Julian had announced that he would kill her. Who would have thought Julian would get into such a serious accident? Rayna supposed it was karma, but she was unfazed by it. Just because Julian was admitted to the hospital did not mean that it would affect her plan to divorce him.
The two men did not notice the change in Rayna’s expression and were still chatting happily. One of them was even scrolling through his phone. As he was scrolling, he hummed quizzically all of a sudden. At the noise, the other man immediately leaned forward to see what was happening.
Soon, the two men turned around to look at Rayna behind them with a strange look in their eyes.
Rayna peered at the phone screen and immediately recognized herself on the screen. From the looks of it, the reporters had already released the news online.
Even so, she feigned a look of confusion. “Is something wrong?”
“Rayna, I didn’t know you and Julian were married!” The man holding the phone showed Rayna the screen. “The video of you going to the hotel to catch him in the act of cheating had been included in the news!”
“Huh?” Rayna quickly took the phone into her hands to look at the screen before covering her mouth in surprise. “Didn’t I ask my husband to not release the video? Who leaked it?”
“You’re too kind, Rayna! Your husband has been messing around with Ms. Jones and has scolded you so ferociously in the video. Why are you even concerned that they would be reprimanded by others?”
Jessica leaned forward to take a look at the screen and immediately understood the context.
“No wonder he got into a car crash,” Jessica mocked. “Serves him right for doing something so shameful!”
Rayna’s red lips curled upward slightly.
“I told you there’s something going on between them. I can’t believe it’s real.”
“Ms. Jones is so arrogant! Don’t miss the audacity she has as a mistress. It is really mind-boggling! What makes her think she has the right to hit someone?”
“I know Rayna. She’s that gorgeous woman in the translation department. That poor thing! She’s such an exceptional person. I can’t believe that her husband cheated on her right under her nose.”
Everyone seemed to have something to say about the situation.
Just as people were discussing, Rayna stepped out of the elevator, holding a box in front of her chest. At the sight of her, the crowd immediately gathered around her.
“Rayna, you and Mr. Faymon are husband and wife?”
“None of us knew that.”
Rayna tossed a glance at the big screen. Her complexion got paler and paler. She bit her lip lightly before explaining, “My husband said that office relationships are not allowed in the company, so we had never made our relationship public. It is true that my body could not satisfy him, but he could have just told me that he wanted a divorce. I can’t accept the fact that he cheated, so when I saw what happened in the hotel, I asked for a divorce. However, we’re still husband and wife, and we’re both working in Faymon Group. I wanted to protect his image, so I forbid the reporters to release the video. I can’t believe that the video is still leaked.”
As she spoke, her voice began to crack and the corners of her eyes began to redden. She even asked the people in charge to turn the screen off in case the higher-ups bore a bad impression on Julian.
“What does he mean by office relationships are not allowed? From the looks of it, your husband was just planning to use that as an excuse to flirt around!”
“Men like him are disgusting!”
Whether someone was single or married, everyone had immense hatred for the person who broke relationships up. From the video, Meredith was beyond arrogant. Julian even threatened to hit Rayna.
“Yeah. Ms. Jones is too arrogant” Jessica interrupted in a pitiful manner. “I’m new here, and I’ve only spoken up for Rayna, saying that no one has the right to interfere in another department’s affairs. Who would have thought that Ms. Jones would fire me over such matters?”
Jessica was not lying. Meredith did point a finger at her and asked her to get out. Jessica’s small frame made her look tiny. She was holding a small pot of plants in her hand, making her look as pitiful as she wanted to be.
The employees of Faymon Group got even more furious.
It was not the first time Meredith bullied an employee. Everyone had witnessed it happening before.
“Why are you the one who’s leaving, Rayna? It’s Meredith who should go!” someone spoke out from amidst the crowd, followed by echoes of agreement. The people’s voices grew louder and louder.
“Thank you, everyone. Really.” Rayna smiled warmly.
Rayna had arranged all that. All she had to do then was wait for Meredith to strike. Since Meredith wanted to destroy her reputation, Rayna would first let Meredith have a taste of her own medicine.
“Rayna Garland!”
Out of the blue, Meredith’s shrill scream filled the room. Within seconds, Meredith showed up and forced herself through the crowd before charging at Rayna. Her furious gaze looked as though she wanted to swallow Rayna whole.
“Julian’s accident and this video are all your doings, aren’t they?” Meredith hollered at Rayna, raising her hand to slap the latter.
But how would Rayna allow herself to be slapped?
Rayna lifted a hand and easily caught Meredith’s hand mid-air as she tried to conceal her anger. “Meredith, you’ve stolen my husband from me. I’ve had enough of you! What else do you want? Julian and I are still husband and wife. His reputation is going to be tied to mine. Do you think I would be dumb enough to release such a video, putting me in such a humiliating position?”
