Chapter 10

Cufflink After withdrawing some cash from the bank, Rayna took a taxi and arrived at the hospitaltwenty minutes later. She entered a ward to see her mother lying in bed with a leg cast. There was alsoa young woman in her early twenties seated nearby, screaming away while playing a game on herphone. “What happened, Mom?” Rayna asked, walking over and placing some fruits on the table whilegazing at the older woman with a frown. “Weren’t you perfectly fine? How did you end up with a brokenleg?” “I fell down while doing some cleaning,” Linda stammered, seemingly afraid of her daughter. “It’sno big deal.” “That is not what happened,” Roxanne butted in icily. “She was cleaning windows as herpart-time job and fell so hard that she couldn’t get up.” Rayna’s brows furrowed. “Mom, why can’t youjust keep watch at the library? Why did you end up cleaning part-time?” Linda lowered her head, notdaring to speak.

“She just couldn’t stand being bored, not to mention she’s totally brainless,” Roxanne murmured whileputting her phone down. “She fell at someone else’s house but chose to call me instead of getting themto pay for the damages. What an idiot.” “Shut your mouth, Roxanne!” Rayna threw her purse onto thebed in a fit. “This is your mother lying in bed, and you’re calling her an idiot? Would she have had you ifshe were brainless?” “Am I wrong?” the younger woman retorted, although still not daring to start afight with her sister. “Anyway, I’ll be going now that you’re here. Oh, my school fees are due, by theway.” Rayna laughed in exasperation. “It’s no wonder you told me to bring more cash. You have fees topay, huh?”

“Give it to her, Honey,” Linda piped up. “Her fees cost a bomb. I’ll pay you back when I get moremoney.” A sense of helplessness crept into Rayna. She resented Linda so much for insisting on havingmore children when the latter couldn’t afford to, and now, the burden of looking after them fell on hershoulders since she was the oldest sibling. If Linda hadn’t swallowed her pride and gone aroundborrowing money just to fund Rayna’s education at the overseas translation academy, the latter would

have abandoned her family by now. Thankfully, she had worked hard on her own and managed tomingle with the Faymons, although she also had her fair share of rebuffs from Rolanda after gettingmarried to Julian. At present, Rayna suppressed her emotions and took a stack of cash out of herpurse, accidentally retrieving the cufflink too. The tiny cufflink rolled on the floor, and Roxanne picked itup. “Rayna, this cufflink’s worth a ton!” she exclaimed with twinkling eyes, aware of the item’s brandsince she read fashion magazines frequently. “Are you really close to this guy?” Although Julian workedat Faymon Group, Roxanne knew how much of a cheapskate he was.

There’s no way Julian will buy something this fancy even though he earns so much. Rayna must’vegone looking for some other guy. “It’s none of your business,” Rayna responded curtly while snatchingthe cufflink and stuffing it back into her purse. Then she handed the wad of cash over. “This is the lasttime I’ll pay your school fees. Make your own money from now on. Do you hear me?” Seeing her sisterremain mum, Rayna raised her voice and reiterated, “Do you hear me, Roxanne Griffith?” “Yes, I do!”Roxanne pouted, grabbing the money the moment it was in front of her. “Honey, you look like you stillhave some cash. Why don’t you give that to your brother? He said he doesn’t have enough,” Linda saidas she glanced at Rayna’s purse. “This is for your hospital bills, Mom.” Having already given half hersalary to Rolanda, Rayna grew infuriated as soon as her mother requested her to finance her brothertoo. “He goes to a school with accommodation. The school provides his food, and I buy him newclothes every month! What more does he need?” “Well, he’s a guy. He always goes out for meals withhis friends,” Linda replied meekly. After counting the money she had just received, Roxanne leanedclose to her sister. “I’m not young anymore, Rayna. Surely you must know a few executives at FaymonGroup. Why don’t you introduce me to one of them?” “Get out of here, Roxanne.” Rayna clenched herfists while gritting her teeth. “Keep pissing me off, and you won’t get a single cent for your fees.” At that,Roxanne backed off in fear and stopped talking. Before leaving the ward, however, she snuck openRayna’s purse and swiped the cufflink while the latter was in the middle of a conversation with theirmother.
