Dear Sweetheart Chapter 56 Jonathan Lawson

Astrid was thick-skinned enough to say in a joking manner, “Oh, I was just joking.”

“Really? Well, I don’t want to talk to you anymore.” Rayna got up from her seat and said calmly, “Tell Ms.

Sienna to find someone else. I can’t help her.”

Curtis might’ve laid several traps in wait for her and didn’t promise her anything besides the five hundred

thousand he got from Roxanne, but she felt he was far more reliable than Sienna.

If Curtis hadn’t protected her, Jefferson would’ve shown up personally instead of just sending her

flowers.

She refused to believe that Curtis would kick her out of Faymon Group.

“Rayna, are you saying you’re going to take Uncle Curtis and help him?” Astrid grabbed her arm. “Think

about this carefully. You don’t want to burn your bridges, do you?”

“If you agree to help Ms. Sienna, you’ll get a reward. You can ask for her help anytime in the future. If

you help Curtis, she won’t let you off easily,” Astrid warned.

“Oh, I see.” Rayna was unfazed as she pried Astrid’s hand away. “If I have to make a choice, I’ll choose

Mr. Faymon.”

“Rayna, I knew it. You have a relationship with Curtis,” Astrid sneered. Her voice dripped with disdain as

she said, “You kept saying Julian cheated on you, but you did the same thing too. You must’ve done

something with Curtis in the restroom that day, right?”

Rayna pursed her lips.

She said nothing, so Astrid assumed she felt guilty. Her voice grew steely as she added, “I took photos

that day. What will everyone think of you if I were to send those photos out?”

“I said, I don’t have anything to do with Mr. Faymon.” Rayna shot Astrid a look. She had to be careful

with her words in case Astrid had a recording device with her.

“Julian and I are divorced, so your photos will only stir up gossip about me for a few days. After that, I will

still go to work as usual. However, your action will affect Mr. Faymon and Faymon Group greatly. Since

it’s fake, Mr. Faymon won’t admit to it. He will even investigate the matter thoroughly.” Rayna’s lips

curled. “Even Ms. Sienna dare not offend him. Are you sure you want to be the target of his wrath?”

Shocked, Astrid took a few steps back as fear rose in her heart.

Even though Curtis wasn’t born a Faymon, he ended up inheriting Faymon Group. Alfred’s brothers

dared not express their displeasure. In fact, they were terrified of Curtis.

Curtis was a talented businessman who expanded their business into Epea and increased Faymon

Group’s sales every year. Without him, Faymon Group wouldn’t be doing this well.

He seemed friendly but rarely had any contact with the other Faymons unless it was during the holidays.

He also hated being in the headlines, and the media outlets knew about that. Even if he were to bring

Kristie out for a meal without asking her to put any disguise on, no one dared to write an article about

them.

If I were to leak the photos and put Curtis in the spotlight, Rayna wouldn’t be affected. Shawn and I will

be the ones who suffer.

“Rayna, you’d better stay out of this.” Instead of threatening her, Astrid said, “If you refuse to help Ms.

Sienna, you shouldn’t help Curtis too. Don’t land yourself in hot water.”

“That’s my business. Don’t you worry about that.” Rayna flashed a smile and left with her takeaway food.

Astrid watched as Rayna left the restaurant.

She then fished out a recording pen from her bag and scowled unhappily.

A relative of hers lost her phone, so she checked the surveillance cameras and saw Curtis exiting the

restroom after Rayna.

Astrid initially planned to sound Rayna out and threaten her with the information.

Alas, Rayna wasn’t someone to be trifled with. She kept her guard up and ended up giving Astrid a

warning instead.

It looks like Rayna is not a pushover. She has finally shown her true colors!

No thanks to Astrid’s meddling, it was already one in the afternoon when Rayna reached her office.

She could tell something was off when she entered the company.

The receptionists were huddled together as they chatted in hush voices. They bore sympathetic but

shocked expressions. Even the other employees chatted among themselves. It seemed as if something

big had happened in the company.

When Rayna was waiting for the elevator, there was another employee beside her. Curious, she asked,

“What happened?”

“Which department are you from?” the employee asked.

“The translation department.”

“Oh, dear. Don’t you know something terrible happened to your department?” The employee stared at

her incredulously. “It seemed that your supervisor was unwell on the way back. He was already dead

when the driver sent him to the hospital. I think he died from a heart attack. The whole company knows

about this. Don’t you know?”

What? Mr. Lawson is dead?

The news was so shocking that it took a long while before Rayna returned to his senses.

After the employee entered the elevator and left, Rayna hurriedly fished out her phone.

She muted it because she was too busy recently, and there were too many WhatsApp messages from

the group chat.

After clicking into the group chat, she realized it had gone wild an hour ago. She read the messages,

saying their supervisor was in danger and Curtis was on the way to the hospital. The translation

department was in an uproar.

Edith tagged everyone and told them to attend a meeting at one in the afternoon. A few colleagues

agreed to her suggestion.

Rayna couldn’t help but furrow her brows. She didn’t know what right Edith had to call for a meeting, but

if everyone else but her was there, they would most probably talk about her behind her back again.

After asking someone to deliver lunch to Jessica, she returned to the translation department. The office

area was empty as everyone gathered in the conference room with glass walls.

Rayna hurried over and knocked on the door. “Sorry that I’m late.”

“Rayna, what is this? Didn’t you read the WhatsApp messages in our group chat?” Edith glared at Rayna

in displeasure as the latter came to the meeting late. Everyone was seated while Edith leaned on the

desk as though she was their superior.

“I went out to get something done,” Rayna explained briefly. She then went in and found herself a seat.

Edith’s expression turned dark.

“Edith, everyone’s here,” someone spoke up. “Hurry up and make the arrangements. What should we do

now?”

Edith straightened her back and swept her gaze around everyone. In a solemn voice, she announced, “I

believe everyone knows that Mr. Lawson passed away an hour ago due to illness. I know you must be

upset, but death is unavoidable. Mr. Faymon is dealing with this, so we can only decide who will be

taking over Mr. Lawson’s spot after his funeral.”

After a pause, Edith added, “But the department cannot run without a leader. There are many things

waiting to get done. I entered Faymon Group a few years earlier than everyone, and I’m also older than

you. Before the higher-ups select our next supervisor, I shall be managing the department for now. Any

problem with that?”

Silence ensued.

Shortly after, someone broke the silence. “I agree. Edith is the most competent and most senior

employee in our department. You know more than us, so you’re the best candidate to manage us.”

“I think so, too Edith, you should just be our supervisor.”

“I agree.”

A smug grin nudged Edith’s lips when she heard everyone praising her and giving her their support.

Clapping her hands, she raised her voice to say, “All right. I shall be the acting supervisor as of now.

Please do your work well and show me all the important documents.”
