Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 14

Provocation Looking at Julian’s response, Rayna smiled. “Darling, didn’t you always want to have a baby? Are you not happy that I’m pregnant?” Rayna walked up to Julian and pretended to straighten his clothes. Then she whispered in his ear, “Julian, I was in a bad mood when I came here just now, so I tampered with the projector. If you say anything that upsets me again, I might accidentally press a button on my phone, and the steamy scene of you and Meredith will be shown on the screen. By then, everyone will be able to see it…” Rayna waved her phone in front of Julian as she spoke. With a gentle smile, she added, “Darling, don’t you remember the night of our anniversary?”

No matter how furious Julian was, he had no choice but to be led by the nose. He would be doomed if Rayna showed the video of him and Meredith to everyone. “Oh, that’s right! I remember now! Darling, why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Julian forced himself to say those words as he stared at Rayna. “I wanted to give you and Mom a surprise.” Then, pretending to be shy, Rayna turned to Rolanda, who was still in a daze. “Mom, are you happy that you’re going to be a grandmother soon?” “H-Happy.” Rolanda nodded, but her smiling face was stiff. Rolanda liked Meredith very much since the first day Julian had brought Meredith home to meet her. She had always wanted Julian to find a reason to kick Rayna out. Yet little did she expect Rayna to be pregnant at such a time. Regardless, she thought she would ask Julian to proceed to divorce Rayna after she gave birth. Having that thought in mind, Rolanda felt much better and gave Meredith a wink.

Meredith gave her a knowing look. Rolanda then helped Rayna to sit down and chatted with her, pretending to show her concerns. The relatives finally came back to their senses and congratulated Julian. Some of them even shared their parenting experience with Julian, whose expression turned grim as he listened. “Julian, what’s going on? Didn’t you say that she has some kind of illness? Did you really sleep with her?” Meredith asked Julian in a low voice and pinched him secretly. “Honey, you have to trust me. I didn’t touch her at all,” Julian promised. “She must’ve slept with someone else!” “Let’s

expose her, then!” A hint of jealousy flashed through Meredith’s eyes. Meredith had investigated Rayna’s background before, so she knew she came from a poor family. However, Rayna managed to study abroad and even work in the translation department of Faymon Group. Meredith believed she had achieved these by deceiving men with her beauty. She also knew that several executives at Faymon Group had been praising Rayna during several meetings.

They said that if she had joined Faymon Group earlier and had more experience, they would have sent her to the Norham branch. Everyone dreamed of going to the Norham branch, including Meredith. She had tried applying but had been rejected a few times. There was no telling how upset she was when she heard what the executives said about Rayna. Julian pointed to the projector on the stage and whispered to Meredith, “She took a video of us. She said if I dare to do anything to upset her, she will show the video to everyone.” Shocked, Meredith quickly responded, “That’s impossible. I was the one who booked the hotel room. The security at the hotel is very good. What can she take? She must be lying.” “But she looked calm and did not look like she was lying… I’m just afraid… What if she really has something in her hands?” Julian took a glance at Rayna. He had never seen Rayna in such a calm manner. Meredith said, “Just wait for it. I’ll expose her soon!” Meredith hated Rayna very much. She hated her for marrying into a good family despite her poor background. She also hated her for having so many people on her side. Now that she had a chance to bring her down, she would not let it go so easily. A ruthless look gleamed in Meredith’s eyes, and she said to Rayna with a smile, “Ms. Garland, I see that pregnant women get tired easily, but you seem energetic! Are you sure you’re pregnant? Is there a mistake?” Everyone who had just congratulated Rayna was taken aback upon hearing Meredith’s words. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
