Dear Sweetheart Chapter 104 Never To Escape
The Department of Regulators was equivalent to Curtis’ right-hand man, and they faced no restrictions within Faymon Group. What right does Rayna have to get this position?
Curtis calmly asked, “Do you have a problem with my decision?”
“Mr. Faymon, Rayna has a bad character, and she doesn’t deserve this position!” Edith was overwhelmed by her emotions, and she cast aside all her worries as she fished out the flash drive from her bag and inserted it into the laptop.
Soon, the video was projected onto the screen. It was a recording of Rayna playing cards with Gavin and the others. The quality of the video was good, and her face was captured perfectly.
“Mr. Gibson, I’m pledging myself for this final round. What are you depositing as security? It wouldn’t be right for you to bet only your money, isn’t it? Oh. You’re here too, Mr. Smith. Do you want to place a bet too? I-I’ll give you very good odds!”
The woman’s coy laughter echoed in the conference room, and Rayna was throwing herself from one man to another, seemingly the perfect example of promiscuity.
A sneer grew on Rayna’s lips.
I knew it. Why would Edith possibly let me go to Plum Blossoms to help Mr. Smith with his business deal? So this was something she and Mr. Smith agreed on. If Curtis didn’t come last night, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to leave even if I had won. How vicious.
Edith then pointed at Rayna and snarled, “Look, Mr. Faymon. Look at what kind of person Rayna has turned into. She was asked to help with Mr. Smith’s business deal, but she tried to seduce the others to get a good deal for herself instead! Someone like her will surely bring trouble to Faymon Group, and she doesn’t deserve to be the Department of Regulators’ manager. Please think this through, Mr. Faymon.”
Curtis remained quiet.
Rayna knew that his silence was him giving her a chance to deal with her own matter, and indeed, this was a matter she should deal with herself.

Fortunately, she came prepared.
“Edith, it’s wrong of you to try to mislead him.” Rayna chuckled. “You were the one who sent me to help Mr. Smith out with his business discussion. The others in the department heard you too. After the discussion, Mr. Smith insisted on thanking me and forced me to the card room for a game. Why didn’t you release the part where Mr. Smith kept touching me? The three of them were up against me during the game too. So, am I supposed to let them do as they please? That’s funny. You shouldn’t assume that others are as weak as you. I’m only doing that to defend myself. Also, I’m part of Faymon Group, and I represent the company. Am I supposed to sit on my hands and let them put my name on the morning news headlines so that people can humiliate Faymon Group?”
Rayna’s words rendered Edith speechless and made the latter’s face turn bright red.
Edith then turned to Brooklyn with a pleading look.
Noticing that, Brooklyn furrowed her brows, seemingly upset with how weak Edith was. In a cold tone, she uttered, “Rayna, no matter how many excuses you have, we’ve all seen with our own eyes what was in the video. You said you’re doing this for Faymon Group’s sake, but aren’t you ruining Faymon Group’s reputation by acting like this with those men?
“Ms. Faymon, you haven’t even seen the entire video, but you’re already jumping to conclusions?” Rayna chuckled before taking out a flash drive from her document holder. “Let me show you what ruining Faymon Group’s reputation really means, Ms. Faymon.”
Rayna then leaned over to tap on the keyboard for a while. The projector turned dim but soon lit up again.
She pressed the button to play the video.
The image was of Edith meeting with a man. The two of them then went to a hotel together. After that, Edith went to the other departments to talk to a few others to drive a wedge in their relationship.
The video jumped to another scene where Edith was talking to a rookie in the translation department. Edith then handed the rookie a document to photocopy. After that scene was an image of the news about the collaboration with a regional branch getting leaked to the public.
Edith was frightened to the point she slumped in her chair, her face as white as a sheet.
I was careful every time, but why was I still captured on film? Where did Rayna get these videos?
“You’re too bold. How dare you intervene in the other regional branches?” Brooklyn whipped her head to glare at Edith. She never thought that Edith would be so careless and foolish to be caught.
“I-I…” Edith stammered out, not knowing what she should say in response to that. “I know it’s wrong, and I didn’t mean to do it. This… This is…”
Edith was terrified of losing her job, and she was trying to say something so that her punishment would not be so severe. However, Brooklyn’s gaze darkened, and she slapped Edith. “Shut up! How dare you keep talking after doing something as shameful as this?”
At that, Edith covered her cheek, knowing that she had said the wrong thing.
It was not that she could not say those things but that she did not dare to say those things. If she exposed the involvement of those people, she would be doomed the minute she walked out of Faymon Group’s building.
“Edith, the company can’t keep you around after what you’ve done,” Curtis said indifferently as if he had not seen what Brooklyn had done. “Get your final pay from the finance department tomorrow. Dismissed.”
With that said, Curtis left the conference room before the others.
Just as Rayna came back to her senses, she saw Curtis leaving the room. After packing up her stuff, she hurried after him and managed to stop him before he entered the elevator.
“Mr. Faymon, didn’t we come to an agreement earlier?”
