Chapter 177 What A Superb Plan

“Uncle Alfred, I’m not spouting nonsense,” Brooklyn stated calmly. “Rayna has been keeping an eye onCurtis after her divorce. Aren’t you curious about that? I even found out that she went to the bar toseduce Curtis before the divorce.”

Upon hearing that, Rayna grew apprehensive. Damn! How did Brooklyn replace out about that?

Curtis remained unruffled as he watched Brooklyn take out a document from her bag and hand it overto Alfred. “Uncle Alfred, take a look. They even went to the hotel.” Brooklyn continued to add fuel to theflames. “Julian was wrong for cheating on her. She could have just divorced him. However, she waitedfor Curtis at the bar with revenge in mind. What a scheming woman.”

After flipping through that document, Alfred shifted his gaze to Curtis. “Is this real?” If what she saidwas true, it’d be all over.

Irrespective of the fact that Julian and Curtis were related, the behavior of Rayna going to the bar toseduce Curtis was despicable because she and Julian had not divorced yet at that time.

Rayna grew anxious as she noticed the severity of the matter to Curtis.

When she was about to bear the responsibility for it, Curtis tightened his grip on her hand andanswered, “No.”

Brooklyn’s face clouded over. “Curtis, you’re lying! Stop covering up for this woman!”

“I was still on the plane that day, so how could I be at the bar?” Curtis’ thin lips curled up slightly. “If youdon’t believe me, you can look for the secretary to check my itinerary. Besides, how could you assumethat’s me by judging the back profile alone? Perhaps Rayna and Julian had a fight, then Julian went tothe bar to replace her before they went to the hotel.”

“No way! He’s cheated on Rayna, so why would he go look for her? Even if you’re not the man in thephoto, Rayna still had an affair as a married woman! The Faymon family can’t accept a woman likeher!”

“Are you and Rayna friends?” Curtis asked patiently.

Brooklyn glanced at Rayna in disgust. “Who in the world would want to be friends with a woman likeher?”

“Then you have no idea about her personality,” Curtis uttered nonchalantly. “Julian had cheated onRayna, but he still had to placate her as she was his wife.”

“Curtis, you’re—”

“Let’s figure it out by asking Julian.” Curtis whipped out his phone. “After all, surveillance footage canbe faked. I don’t believe what you’ve said, and the others may not trust my words.”

The call was connected shortly after.

Curtis cut straight to the chase and asked Julian, “Julian, where were you that night? I heard thatRayna went to the bar, and a man took her away. Do you have any idea who he is?”

Rayna’s heart lodged in her throat. She felt nervous and uneasy. Why is he asking Julian about this?What if Julian refuses to cooperate?

“It’s me.” Everyone heard Julian’s words because the phone speaker was turned on. “That night wasour first wedding anniversary. We wanted to celebrate it together, but she found out about me cheatingon her, so she went to the bar out of anger. After knowing that, I hurried over to look for her.Unexpectedly, she got wasted, so we spent the night at the hotel.”

“Julian!” Brooklyn nearly exploded in anger because he had ruined her perfect plan. “How could youput in a good word for Rayna after how she has treated you? Why didn’t you tell the truth?”

“I’m telling the truth. You all can investigate it as you please.”

Curtis hung up the phone and stared at Brooklyn, who had a grim expression, coldly. “Brooklyn, do youstill have anything to say now that Julian has admitted he was the one who brought Rayna to the hotelthat night?”

Brooklyn looked around before she fixated her gaze on Rolanda.

“Tell them.” Brooklyn pointed at Rolanda. “Where was Julian that night?”

“I-I don’t know!” Rolanda broke into a cold sweat as she could not afford to offend anyone at the scene.She hated Rayna to the core. How did I end up with such an ex-daughter-in-law?

Curtis uttered, “Just tell the truth. You may not like Rayna, but you’ve known her for so long, so youshould know what kind of person she is and whether she’d have an affair.”

Rolanda was no fool. She knew well that Curtis was aloof and taciturn. Now that he’s willing to talk somuch with me, I bet he’s trying to make me give my two cents. I need to protect myself as well.Additionally, compared to Brooklyn, I’m more unwilling to let Curtis hold a grudge against me.

After thinking about it carefully, Rolanda replied, “Indeed, I dislike Rayna as her family is poor, and sheisn’t worthy of my son. Apart from that, she’s perfect. She’d give half of her salary to me each monthand was filial to me. Even if she had a fight with Julian, she’d never cheat on him.”

Brooklyn glared at Rolanda. She would have beaten the latter up if it wasn’t for her identity.

“Brooklyn, I guess that’s all you wanted to know?” Curtis threw daggers at her as he smiled. “Now, let’stalk about Jason’s bullying of my woman.”

Chester knew Curtis wouldn’t accept his apology. He looked at Alfred and said, “Alfred, I understandthat Jason has screwed up, but he has received his punishment. As you know, Fiona is not well aftergiving birth to Jason and has been recuperating at home. I don’t even dare to tell her about this matterbecause I’m afraid her life will be in danger.”

With tears in his eyes, he went on, “Alfred, I’ve failed to educate my son well.” He then bent his knees,about to kneel on the floor.

“What are you doing?” Alfred tugged Chester’s hand, exasperated. He then turned to Curtis. “Curtis,Jason has been punished for his foolishness, so let it go. We’re family. It’ll be awful if words get out.”

“Dad, are you trying to help Jason beg for mercy? All right. I’ll only forgive him if he returns the child toRayna!”

Alfred was taken aback by his words. “Don’t tell me…”

“Old Mr. Faymon, Ms. Garland had a miscarriage,” the doctor piped up. “It’s caused by overwhelmingshock. Ms. Garland was already in poor health. It’ll probably be difficult for her to get pregnant in thefuture because of the side effects of her miscarriage.”

Rayna was bereft of speech. So this is what Uncle Curtis was referring to! Whoa! What a superb plan!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

“She looks strong. How is it possible that she had a miscarriage that easily!” Upon regaining hersenses, Brooklyn uttered, “Uncle Alfred…”

“That’s enough! Are you trying to make things worse?” Brooklyn was stunned by Alfred’s furious roar.“You’ve been targeting Curtis since the beginning. Are you going to say he got a doctor to lie to you

now?” Alfred got up from the couch. “Since everyone is here today, let me say this again. Curtis is myson. I’ll never forgive whoever that bully my son and hurt my grandchild!”

With that, he left and handed over the situation to Curtis. His intention was clear.

When Curtis saw Chester’s dejected expression, he said in a calm voice, “Uncle Chester, Jason killedmy child. I don’t want him to pay for it with his own life. I only want him to cut off one of his arms.”

“Curtis, he’s your cousin!” Chester gritted his teeth. “Can’t you just let him go?”

“It’s precisely he’s my cousin that I’m showing him some mercy.” While staring at Chester menacingly,Curtis continued, “Break his arm, or you do it on his behalf.”

He didn’t have the intention to let it slide no matter what.

At that moment, a few tall and muscular bodyguards stormed into the living room. “Mr. Faymon.”

Curtis nodded before he responded nonchalantly, “I’ll have to trouble you guys and the doctor to assistUncle Chester. I want to see an arm half an hour later.”

“Understood!” the bodyguards answered loudly.
