Chapter 222 Lucky 2

“Isabelle, you better watch your tone!” roared Elijah with his hand lifted, but before he could slapRayna, somebody grabbed him by the wrist.

Rayna was stunned when she saw that it was Curtis who had intervened. “Mr. Faymon.”

“Are you okay?” inquired Curtis after nodding at Rayna.

“I’m fine. Even if you were not here, his hand wouldn’t be able to reach my face,” promised Rayna asshe stared coldly at Elijah. “Instead of wasting your time on me, you should spend more time andmoney looking for another suitable donor before your son’s time is up, Elijah.”

“I admit that I was wrong to have abandoned you, but we’re talking about your brother here. He’s yourblood!” shouted Elijah angrily.

“I only have one brother, and that’s James,” retorted Rayna indifferently. “Besides, my mother divorcedyou more than twenty years ago, so we’re no longer related. If you have a problem with that, take it tocourt.”

“You… You… You…” After listening to her cold daughter, Elijah got so upset that he lost the ability toform a complete sentence.

“This neighborhood has terrible security; I can’t believe they just let a stranger in. I’m going to make aformal complaint tomorrow,” mocked Rayna before walking away from Elijah.

Curtis tightened his grip on Elijah’s wrist and warned in his deep voice, “Don’t ever come back hereagain.”

Grimacing in pain, Elijah had no choice but to nod in agreement. Only then did Curtis let go of Elijahand enter the condominium with the puppy.

Rayna was waiting for the elevator when Curtis walked in with his dog.

“That puppy looks like it’s barely one month old,” commented Rayna as she looked at the dog thatseemed afraid of Curtis because it was keeping a distance from him. “Who walks a dog that young?”

“It’s too weak, so I took it out for training,” replied Curtis casually.

The puppy then rubbed against Rayna while barking and wagging its tail. Seeing how adorable the dogwas, Rayna could not help but hug it.

“You smell wonderful! Did you just get a bath?” muttered Rayna before patting the puppy and kissing iton the head. “How cute!”

The dog is cute?

I wouldn’t say I agree with her definition of the word. Curtis did not appreciate that the puppy wasrubbing against Rayna’s chest, so he pinched the dog behind its neck with two fingers and pulled itaway from the woman before indifferently lowering it back to the ground.

In order to prevent Rayna from picking up the dog again, Curtis changed the subject. “Was that yourfather?”

Rayna nodded in response. “He’s a man who cares about no one but himself. He disliked us and evendivorced my mother. After remarrying and giving birth to a child with leukemia, he returned to ask formy help because the kid’s bone marrow matched mine. He’s been pestering me for the past fewmonths, and now he’s even found out where I live.”

After hearing that, Curtis’ face hardened because he could tell from the hostility on Elijah’s face that theman was a hot-tempered person who would not shy from doing terrible things.

“I’ll inform the guards to tighten the security in the neighborhood,” promised Curtis. “You should keepsomething for self-defense in your bag, just in case.”

“Got it,” uttered Rayna while nodding, for she knew what the man was worried about.

“Don’t you have anything you want to tell me?”

“What are you talking about?”

“The morning news. I see you’ve met Theodore’s mother, who even gave you a present.” Curtispretended to be casual about the matter while glancing at Rayna.

“Are you kidding? It was a total disaster!” Rayna could still feel the pain on her wrist when she recalledwhat had happened that morning. “His mother is nothing if not crafty. She even got a reporter outside.”

“Why did you meet with Theodore before?” inquired Curtis.

“Are you seriously asking me that question right now, Mr. Faymon?” scoffed Rayna. “I didn’t say a wordwhen you announced that you’d be marrying Ms. Sanders, so what makes you think I have to explainmyself to you?”

Curtis was relaxed at first, but after getting scoffed at like that, he hardened his face once again.“Jasmine and I are just faking the marriage. How many times do you need me to repeat myself?”

“Do you think the public cares if the marriage is real? I certainly don’t!” stated Rayna coldly.

“Are you jealous?”

After freezing for a moment, Rayna turned to stare blankly at the elevator door, refusing to look at theman.

Curtis then put one hand on the rail behind Rayna and leaned in with a smile. “About that thing youwere trying to tell me last time…”

Before Curtis could finish his sentence, the elevator door suddenly opened.

“Huh? Curt? Rayna?” Standing outside the elevator was Kristie in pajamas. She was surprised to seethe two, especially since they were so close to each other.

Instinctively, Kristie reached out to press the close button. “Maybe you should carry on.”

“Out you go, Mr. Faymon.” Rayna immediately distanced herself from Curtis and pushed the man andhis dog out of the elevator before pressing the close button repeatedly.

Curtis stared coldly at Kristie while questioning, “What are you doing out here this late?”

“I’m hungry; I wanted to get some snacks,” explained Kristie aggrievedly. “It’s your fault that I lost myboyfriend and nearly starved to death.”

“He didn’t contact you?”

Kristie shook her head while pouting. “It’s been a month since he last answered my call. I have no ideawhere he went.”

“He has quite the temper.” Curtis was displeased to hear how Kristie was treated.

However, she did not side with him. “You shouldn’t have lied to Rayna. It’s your fault she suffered froma high fever for several days. If I were him, I’d be furious too.”

“Since you dislike so much, you might as well just leave. I see no point in keeping someone whoprefers to side with others,” uttered Curtis.

In response, Kristie stuck her tongue out at the man. “Make me! My plan is to wait until you die alone toinherit your fortune so I can buy an island and trap him on it. Then, we’ll spend the rest of our livestogether there.”

“Your plan is to take my money so you can take care of another man?” ridiculed Curtis.

“Why do you care?” Only after rolling her eyes at Curtis did Kristie notice the little puppy beside theman. “I thought you hated cats and dogs. What changed your mind?”

Kristie could not help laughing when she remembered the scene in the elevator. “There’s no doubt thatyou have good looks, but you have to admit you look pathetic when you’re trying to beg Rayna’sforgiveness.”

“Are you trying to end your acting career?”

“I am. Acting is so tiring,” answered Kristie with a snort. “Feel free to replace me. It’ll be your loss, notmine!”

“You ungrateful little beast!” Curtis then pinched Kristie’s cheek forcefully.

Kristie was trying to hit Curtis when the elevator door opened and revealed James in gray sportswearon the other side.

Holding a thermal bag, James pursed his lips tightly when he saw Kristie and Curtis fooling around.

“Speak of the devil,” uttered Curtis in his cold voice, breaking the silence.

As soon as Kristie turned around and saw James, she threw herself at the man and held him tightly.“Where have you been the entire month? I thought you’d left me.”

Curtis would rather not stick around to hear the rest of the conversation, so he took another elevator.

“Keep your eyes on me. Talk to me.” Holding James’ head, Kristie forced the man to focus on herbefore inquiring aggrievedly, “Why didn’t you answer my calls? Are you seeing someone else?”

“There was some business I had to attend to at the school. Now let go.” James wanted to removeKristie’s hands, but she quickly jumped up, wrapped her legs around his waist, and kissed him.
