Chapter 29 The Audacity

Julian has gotten into a car accident?

Rayna furrowed her brows. She remembered that Julian had always been a cautious driver. Thus, the fact that Julian got into a car accident did not make sense to her.

As much as she was perplexed, she could not help the feeling of smugness rising in her chest.

After all, Julian had announced that he would kill her. Who would have thought Julian would get into such a serious accident? Rayna supposed it was karma, but she was unfazed by it. Just because Julian was admitted to the hospital did not mean that it would affect her plan to divorce him.

The two men did not notice the change in Rayna’s expression and were still chatting happily. One of them was even scrolling through his phone. As he was scrolling, he hummed quizzically all of a sudden. At the noise, the other man immediately leaned forward to see what was happening.

Soon, the two men turned around to look at Rayna behind them with a strange look in their eyes.

Rayna peered at the phone screen and immediately recognized herself on the screen. From the looks of it, the reporters had already released the news online. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Even so, she feigned a look of confusion. “Is something wrong?”

“Rayna, I didn’t know you and Julian were married!” The man holding the phone showed Rayna the screen. “The video of you going to the hotel to catch him in the act of cheating had been included in the news!”

“Huh?” Rayna quickly took the phone into her hands to look at the screen before covering her mouth in surprise. “Didn’t I ask my husband to not release the video? Who leaked it?”

“You’re too kind, Rayna! Your husband has been messing around with Ms. Jones and has scolded you so ferociously in the video. Why are you even concerned that they would be reprimanded by others?”

Jessica leaned forward to take a look at the screen and immediately understood the context.

“No wonder he got into a car crash,” Jessica mocked. “Serves him right for doing something so shameful!”

Rayna’s red lips curled upward slightly.

As Rayna and the few of them got to the lobby of the office, they noticed that the big LED screen hanging on the wall was also streaming the video they had seen on the phone, gathering a lot of curious viewers.

“I told you there’s something going on between them. I can’t believe it’s real.”

“Ms. Jones is so arrogant! Don’t miss the audacity she has as a mistress. It is really mind-boggling! What makes her think she has the right to hit someone?”

“I know Rayna. She’s that gorgeous woman in the translation department. That poor thing! She’s such an exceptional person. I can’t believe that her husband cheated on her right under her nose.”

Everyone seemed to have something to say about the situation.

Just as people were discussing, Rayna stepped out of the elevator, holding a box in front of her chest. At the sight of her, the crowd immediately gathered around her.

“Rayna, you and Mr. Faymon are husband and wife?”

“None of us knew that.”

Rayna tossed a glance at the big screen. Her complexion got paler and paler. She bit her lip lightly before explaining, “My husband said that office relationships are not allowed in the company, so we had never made our relationship public. It is true that my body could not satisfy him, but he could have just told me that he wanted a divorce. I can’t accept the fact that he cheated, so when I saw what happened in the hotel, I asked for a divorce. However, we’re still husband and wife, and we’re both working in Faymon Group. I wanted to protect his image, so I forbid the reporters to release the video. I can’t believe that the video is still leaked.”

As she spoke, her voice began to crack and the corners of her eyes began to redden. She even asked the people in charge to turn the screen off in case the higher-ups bore a bad impression on Julian.

“What does he mean by office relationships are not allowed? From the looks of it, your husband was just planning to use that as an excuse to flirt around!”

“Men like him are disgusting!”

Whether someone was single or married, everyone had immense hatred for the person who broke relationships up. From the video, Meredith was beyond arrogant. Julian even threatened to hit Rayna.

“Yeah. Ms. Jones is too arrogant” Jessica interrupted in a pitiful manner. “I’m new here, and I’ve only spoken up for Rayna, saying that no one has the right to interfere in another department’s affairs. Who would have thought that Ms. Jones would fire me over such matters?”

Jessica was not lying. Meredith did point a finger at her and asked her to get out. Jessica’s small frame made her look tiny. She was holding a small pot of plants in her hand, making her look as pitiful as she wanted to be.

The employees of Faymon Group got even more furious.

It was not the first time Meredith bullied an employee. Everyone had witnessed it happening before.

“Why are you the one who’s leaving, Rayna? It’s Meredith who should go!” someone spoke out from amidst the crowd, followed by echoes of agreement. The people’s voices grew louder and louder.

“Thank you, everyone. Really.” Rayna smiled warmly.

Rayna had arranged all that. All she had to do then was wait for Meredith to strike. Since Meredith wanted to destroy her reputation, Rayna would first let Meredith have a taste of her own medicine.

“Rayna Garland!”

Out of the blue, Meredith’s shrill scream filled the room. Within seconds, Meredith showed up and forced herself through the crowd before charging at Rayna. Her furious gaze looked as though she wanted to swallow Rayna whole.

“Julian’s accident and this video are all your doings, aren’t they?” Meredith hollered at Rayna, raising her hand to slap the latter.

But how would Rayna allow herself to be slapped?

Rayna lifted a hand and easily caught Meredith’s hand mid-air as she tried to conceal her anger. “Meredith, you’ve stolen my husband from me. I’ve had enough of you! What else do you want? Julian and I are still husband and wife. His reputation is going to be tied to mine. Do you think I would be dumb enough to release such a video, putting me in such a humiliating position?”

Meredith chuckled drily before barring her teeth. “Would you not have done so? You can’t fool me, Rayna. I know you’ve been waiting to take your revenge on Julian and me. You’re the one who planned all of these!”

Ever since she woke up with Dylan by her side, Meredith realized that Rayna was not as naïve as she seemed. She had totally underestimated Rayna, but never would she have imagined that Rayna even

had connections with the reporters.

She thought that everything would be fine as long as she could come up with an excuse to kick Rayna out of Faymon Group. To her dismay, Rayna had been one step ahead of her and had asked the reporters to release the video in the news. Everyone would have known that she was a mistress by then.

Meredith wanted nothing more than to rip Rayna to shreds.

Seeing that people around her were whispering and giving herself sideway glances, Meredith stepped forward to grab Rayna’s arm and yanked her forward. “Everyone, listen up. After Rayna married Julian, she has been lying to him, saying that she has a sexual disorder and forbidding Julian from touching her. The relationship between the both of them had ended a long time ago. I know I have been wrong. I should have waited for them to divorce each other before I make a move on Julian, no matter how much I like him. However, does that mean Rayna is a saint?”

Meredith turned to glance at Rayna before loosening her grip. From her pocket, Meredith took out a stack of photos before throwing them into the air. One by one, the photos fell onto the floor.

Rayna lowered her head to look at the photos by her feet before widening her eyes in surprise.

The photos depicted her drunk in the bar and being carried away by Curtis to a hotel in multiple scenes. Even though the photos were taken in secret, they clearly showed her face. There was no way she could deny what had happened.

Didn’t Gabriel wipe away every trace of that night? Why would photos like these get leaked?

Afraid that Curtis would be caught in the frame, Rayna felt her heart in her throat as she scanned the photos on the ground one by one. After confirming that all the photos only consisted of his silhouette, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

The crowd had begun discussing. Seeing their reaction to the photos, Meredith knew she had hit a jackpot.

Half an hour ago, her assistant handed her a mail. When she opened it, she saw the photos inside. Even though she had no idea who had sent those to her, the person had done her a huge favor.

At that moment, Meredith regained her confidence. She continued pressing on the matter. “Rayna, you said that you have a sexual disorder. How do you explain these photos? Don’t tell me the guy is your best friend and was just sending you to the hotel!”

Rayna glanced at the photos on the ground. After a moment of silence, she said, “He’s someone I met at the bar.”

Rayna had not anticipated the turn of events just as it was all going to be over.

Where did Meredith get her hands on these photos?

“Julian said that you’re a good and meek wife, yet you’ve gone to a bar?” Meredith tutted and raised her voice. “Not only so, but you were also taken to a hotel by a man you’ve met at the bar. I think your intentions are plain
