Chapter 265 I Like Mister Xavier A Lot

After Julian began working under Chester, he found out by chance that the latter was linked to Mathias.They also had close connections to some government officials, which allowed them to make quite afortune.

Julian could have stayed out of the matter, but he had chosen to pretend to help Mathias. As he didthat, he collected evidence of Mathias laundering money and transacting with government officials.Everything was saved in the flash drive, including a list of names.

Aside from that, Julian had also left behind a message for Rayna.

He wrote: I know I cannot turn back time and undo my mistakes. I mustered my courage to do this notfor the sake of Faymon Group. I’m not that great of a person, after all. Rayna, I hope you live a goodlife. I know Uncle Curtis has been wanting to take Mr. Ziegler down. He now owes me one for all theevidence I collected. He won’t dare to mistreat you.

Rayna’s eyes stung with tears, and she could barely hold the paper with her trembling hands.Wrapping his arm around her, Curtis lent her his shoulder to lean on.

He glanced at the letter quickly, and it was only after a while that he finally spoke. “Let’s go home first,all right?”

They planned to check the contents of the flash drive after going home, but Curtis got a phone call fromWyatt on their way back. Apparently, the police had freed Mathias. The latter headed for the pier rightupon release, and it seemed that he was planning to leave the country on a ship.

Curtis sneered, “Looks like there are lots of people helping him. I want to see who is that bold to let himon their ship!”

He gave Theodore a call.

Although it had been quite a long time since Theodore had been discharged from the army, the Xavierfamily used its extensive network and sent a group of people to the pier to capture Mathias. Meanwhile,Rayna plugged the flash drive into her laptop so she could send some evidence to Theodore and makehis job easier.

The contents of the documents were shocking.

Those people were so intricately related to each other that a domino effect would occur if anythinghappened to just one of them. If she revealed the documents in her hands to the public, the entireNorwal City would surely be in an uproar.

Rayna told Curtis about the contents in the flash drive and exclaimed, “No wonder you couldn’t doanything to him. If you hadn’t known about Sienna’s scheme and played along with her to reorganizeFaymon Group, the company would surely become Mr. Ziegler’s in less than a year considering allthose connections he has.”

“Those people only want money, so they will never help him and stain their reputation. We’re lucky theydidn’t help him. Otherwise, things will be even more troublesome,” said Curtis seriously.

“What do we do now?”

“Send the evidence of Mr. Ziegler’s involvement in money laundering to Theodore. As for the list ofnames and the other documents, let’s destroy them. Throw the laptop afterward. Theodore will handlethe rest.”

“Do we really have to delete everything? What if—”

“Yes, delete them. They will only serve as a ticking time bomb if we keep them. Our only target is Mr.Ziegler.”

Rayna was a newbie when it came to sensitive matters like this. Trusting that Curtis would deal witheverything properly, she made a copy of the documents related to Mathias and deleted the rest.

Next, she destroyed the flash drive and the laptop.

The people Theodore had asked helped from soon arrived at the pier. Without much effort, they foundMathias and arrested him.

A few days after the files were submitted to the judge, Mathias stood trial for charges of corruption. Asit involved a huge sum of money and even firearms trafficking, he was sentenced to fifty years ofimprisonment.

The press was naturally eager to publish such a major piece of news, but the Public RelationsDepartment of Faymon Group was quick to act and got in touch with them. Since no media companiesdared to report the incident, it did not cause any stir at all.

After sending Mathias to jail, Rayna finally felt at ease.

She bought a bouquet of flowers and visited the Faymon family cemetery.

“I brought you a jersey signed by your favorite soccer player,” she said while placing the flowers and ajersey before Julian’s tombstone. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at the man in thephotograph.

“Thank you, Julian. Thank you for your sacrifices and for taking care of me.”

Curtis stood behind her without a word, his trench coat fluttering in the cold wind. Gazing at thetombstone solemnly, he said a quiet thanks in his heart.

He had never liked Julian. The latter was an unambitious young man who liked to play around. Curtishad always thought he was incapable of doing big things, but in the end, he was braver than anyoneelse.

If it weren’t for Julian’s flash drive, it would have taken Curtis much longer to take Mathias down.

“Rayna, I have to tell you something,” Curtis began. “Jefferson used Julian. He was the one who toldJulian about Jason’s severed arm. Julian knew Chester would definitely target you, so he calledJefferson and offered to join hands. Jefferson could have asked anyone else to save you, but hearranged for Julian to go. He killed Julian indirectly.”

Curtis had thought that Chester wouldn’t dare to act recklessly after Jason’s incident, but to hissurprise, Chester had been crazy enough to work with Jefferson and even harm Rayna.

I was too focused on Faymon Group’s matters at that time. If I had paid more attention, this tragedywouldn’t have happened.

“People always say women are cruel, but I think men are even more terrifying when they decide to beruthless,” Rayna remarked as she stroked Julian’s photo. “They can bear to sacrifice everything fortheir own interests.”

Jefferson was one of those people. Although he was gentle and calm on the outside, he was aheartless man. Just because of his jealousy, he could take a person’s life as if it was nothing.

Sometimes, I feel tempted to ask Jefferson what is it about me that makes him so obsessed with me. Ialso don’t get why Julian cares so much about me when we’re already divorced. Is he an idiot?

As Rayna was lost in her thoughts, Curtis walked over and draped his coat over her. “I was toocareless.”

He had no idea back then.

If he had known that he would like her this much one day, he would have protected her earlier on withall his might.

“Mr. Faymon, do you like me?” Rayna asked.

“Do you need me to prove it?”

“That’s good to hear.” Rayna adjusted his tie and said in a gentle voice, “I heard that you’ve neverdated before, so I guess I have no choice but to teach you.”

A bad feeling rose within Curtis when he saw Rayna’s smirk.

“How are you going to teach me?”

“First, do not provoke women because they hold grudges. Second, stop going to me all the time whenwe’re in the office, or I’ll leak your nudes,” she said with a bright smile.

Curtis was rendered speechless.

“Mr. Faymon, courting someone isn’t as easy as you think. I also want you to experience how it feelslike to be rejected.”

Curtis felt helpless. “Didn’t I apologize already? As for Julian’s death, Jefferson should be the one toapologize. The Faymon family will take care of Julian’s mother. Isn’t that more than enough?”

“You played me like I’m a fool. Do you think an apology will suffice?” Rayna snapped and yanked hiscoat off her, throwing it at him. “Forget it if you don’t want to court me. There are tons of men out therewaiting for me to pick them!”

The temperature around Curtis dropped as his eyes darkened. “Who would dare to court you?”

“Mr. Xavier,” Rayna boasted. “He’s so handsome and manly! His mother loves me, too. If I marry him, Iwon’t have to worry about getting into conflicts with my mother-in-law. To be honest, I like Mr. Xavier alot. I would love to hear others calling me Mrs. Xavier.”

“Rayna, are you trying to provoke me?”

Rayna shrugged and flashed him an innocent smile. “No. Oh, I should give Mr. Xavier a call and askhim if he’s free. I’m craving Jetroinian food for lunch. I’ll ask him to eat with me.”

With a grim expression, Curtis grabbed her face and sealed her lips with his.

It was only when he felt Rayna running out of breath that he let her go. In a swift motion, he carried herby the legs and threw her over his shoulder before striding toward the exit.

“What are you doing? Let me down!” Rayna yelped as she punched his back.

“I’m going to eat lunch with you.”

“Pfft! I don’t want to eat with you. I’m going to look for another man. Put me down!”

Curtis gave her buttocks a light slap. “Stop fooling around. I’m going to bring you straight home if youbring up other men again,” he warned, jealousy evident in his voice.

Instantly, Rayna’s face turned as red as a tomato. “You’re such a pervert!”
