Chapter 250 Is This Your Ring

Rayna became restless after two days of rest. However, Curtis thought that her ankle was still swollen and made her rest for another three more days.

On Monday, Rayna went to the police station for her class.

The police who had issued her the ticket looked frightened when he saw her. The two of them bowed at one another before Rayna sat down with the other eight offenders for the moral education class for the entire morning.

On the way back, Curtis phoned to tease her about it. “Is the class over?”

“Yes.” Rayna took a deep breath to calm herself. She could not afford to get angry with the man because she still needed to work at Faymon Group. “I will be visiting my mom at the hospital before going to the office.”

“Get me some lunch when you come over.”

“Get your secretary to order your lunch for you!” remarked Rayna petulantly. “I’m not a food delivery worker. Do you plan to eat at two if that’s the time I arrive at the office?”

“Two is fine then.”

Before Rayna could respond, he ended the call abruptly. She was so furious that she did not know what to do.

Rayna brought mushroom soup for her mother. After resting in the hospital for a few days, Linda was looking much better. Since she had nothing to do, she decided to knit a sweater.

Linda whispered, “My regular doctor is quite a catch. He’s twenty-eight this year and about one hundred and eighty centimeters tall. He’s very handsome as well. Just the type of guy that you fancy.”

Rayna rolled her eyes at her mother. “Have I ever told you I prefer handsome men?”

“Isn’t it true?” asked Linda curiously. “Mr. Faymon is quite good-looking, but it’s such a pity…”

“Please just eat your food.” With that, Rayna put the bowl in front of her mother. Daily new chapters upload Only On Alaniniz(dot)com “You should worry about Roxanne and James if you are so free. Stop nagging me.”

Linda said solemnly, “You are the oldest. Therefore, you should set a good example.”

Rayna was rendered speechless.

Just then, someone knocked on the door of the ward. Rayna turned around and saw an elegant-looking lady standing there. She was dressed in a violet dress suit, and her eyes exuded warmth and tenderness.

The woman asked, “Are you Ms. Rayna Garland?”

“Yes, I am.” Rayna then asked, “Is there anything I can help you with?”

The lady smiled before replying, “I only need five minutes of your time, Ms. Garland. Can we go downstairs for a chat?”

Rayna nodded in agreement.

A minute later, the two women arrived at a beverage store located outside the hospital.

Once the drinks had been served, Rayna told the lady, “Make it quick.”

“My name is Sandy Verlice. My husband runs a profitable company in Jetroina.” The lady then took out a gold-plated name card from her handbag and handed it to Rayna before saying, “Harry Verlice is my nephew.”

Rayna glanced at the name card and smiled. “Oh? So, you’re a relative of Harry? Why are you here? Do you want me to donate my bone marrow to him?” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“No. Harry has already found a match for his bone marrow.” Sandy continued with a perplexed expression, “I would like you to withdraw your case against Elijah. I know you are Elijah’s daughter, and he might have treated you and your mom badly in the past. He has also hurt you because of Harry. Despite that, I hope you can forgive him. He now has Jetroina citizenship. If he has a criminal record here, it will be difficult for him to take over the company when he returns to Jetroina. I hereby apologize to you on his behalf. He didn’t mean to do those bad deeds.”

“No, I won’t withdraw the case,” uttered Rayna coldly. Although Sandy was very sincere, there was no way Rayna would do it. “It’s only right that he suffers the consequences of his actions!”

Sandy stood up and bowed respectfully. “Ms. Garland, please forgive him. I will give you anything you want.”

“You should spend your time and effort in taking care of your nephew.” Rayna stood up as well when she realized it was getting late, and she still needed to get lunch for Curtis. “I’ll pay for the drinks.”

She opened her handbag to take out her purse. Just then, the strap of her bag caught onto the corner of the table. As a result, some things fell out. Something small rolled and stopped at Sandy’s feet.

Sandy picked up the ring.

The ring was exquisitely made with an almost-perfect sapphire embedded in it. One look and anyone could tell it was pricey.

“T-This ring…” Sandy appeared to have difficulties in breathing and caught hold of Rayna. “Is this ring yours? Is it?”

Her grip was hurting Rayna. “Let go of me.”

“Is it yours?” asked Sandy anxiously before she frowned in pain and attempted to retrieve something from her bag.

Unfortunately, before she could even open her bag, an excruciating pain shot through her head, and she fell straight to the ground.

“Hey! Are you okay?” Rayna immediately rushed to get a doctor and a stretcher to get Sandy into the hospital.

According to the doctor, Sandy had fainted because she got too agitated. She should wake up after a while.

“That’s good to know.” Rayna let out a sigh of relief when she knew she would not be accused of being a murderer. “Then, I shall leave her in your good hands. Let me go and pay for her medical fees.”

The doctor, who was looking at the x-ray at the moment, suddenly had a strange look in his eyes when he heard her. “Isn’t she your mother?”

“No, she isn’t. My mother has a fractured bone and is still lying in another ward!” Rayna was feeling a little embarrassed and did not want to explain too much to the doctor. That was why she found an excuse to get away.

Once Rayna left, the doctor muttered to himself, “I was planning on telling you that your mom has a blood clot in her brain and whether you want it to be removed via surgery. Turns out you are not her daughter…”

Forget it. It’s not like I can let a stranger pay for this lady’s surgery.

After Rayna bought lunch and was on her way to Faymon Group, she took out the ring and eyed it in confusion. The emotional outburst from Sandy popped up in her mind.

A thought flashed across Rayna’s mind for a fleeting moment.

“How much were the earrings auctioned for?” Rayna mumbled to herself and wanted very much to send a WhatsApp message to ask James.

She felt that the reason for Sandy’s excitement was due to the value of the ring. After all, most women who adored jewelry would react that way when they saw pieces they liked.

Once Rayna arrived at Faymon Group, she saw some reporters scattered around the entrance and went forward to inquire. It was only then she found out that Curtis was holding a press conference upstairs, and Jasmine was also there too.

Furthermore, the press conference was being broadcast live on the huge screen outside Faymon Group as well as the screen in the lobby.

Jasmine was looking into the camera with a smile. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m only a good friend of Mr. Faymon. As all of you know, Old Mr. Faymon is unwell. In order to cheer him up, we pretended to get married.”

She was clarifying to everyone that the marriage between Curtis and her was a hoax.

Most of the reporters did not buy her story. After all, their wedding was held a month ago with great fanfare. Everyone in the country was aware of their marital union.

However, once Curtis also clarified the matter, the reporters had no choice but to believe them. It would be hard to believe if only one party spoke up. When both parties cleared up the matter in front of the entire country, it had to be real then.

One shrewd reporter questioned Jasmine, “Ms. Sanders, we heard that another man married you on Mr. Faymon’s behalf. Did you fall in love with that man? Is that why you got a divorce on the quiet as Mr. Faymon felt humiliated?”

“I am merely friends with Mr. Faymon. We didn’t get married,” said Jasmine with a polite smile on her face. “If all of you don’t believe us, you may go and check it out for yourselves at City Hall.”

“So, what about the other man that you married? We understand that he’s a friend of Mr. Faymon.”

That was when Curtis stood up and said in a commanding voice, “The marriage between Ms. Sanders and myself is a lie, and we have now clarified this matter. Is that understood?”

His intimidating manner sent chills down the spines of all the reporters, and they nodded.

“We understand.”

If they responded otherwise to Curtis, they might end up losing their jobs.
