Dear Sweetheart Chapter 270 Distortion Of Truth
Rayna tried asking Emma to leave in an indirect manner. “Mrs. Xavier, if there’s nothing else, do you mind letting us continue to have our meal? The mushroom soup doesn’t taste good when it’s cold.”
“Marry my son.”
“Hm?” Rayna’s expression froze as she asked her in disbelief, “What did you say?”
Emma glanced at her contemptuously and said, “Despite your lowly background, I can still accept you. You’ll benefit from marrying my son and I convince myself to become your mother-in-law.”
Rayna was astounded.
After joining the Hatchair Group and eventually returning to Faymon Group, she significantly widened her connections and interacted with many elites of the society, including some haughty rich women. Still, she had never seen someone like Emma.
Oh my… Does she think it is everyone’s most earnest desire to marry into the Xavier family?
“I don’t think that’s necessary because I’m not good enough for the Xavier family.” Rayna kept a smile on her face. If it weren’t for Curtis and Theodore’s relationship, she would’ve given Emma the attitude and left.
Emma didn’t anticipate Rayna would refuse her. Her face turned a few shades darker in response.
She uttered more assertively, “Ms. Garland, I suggest you think this through. You won’t have to contribute the dowry if you marry into my family. I will even sponsor you to establish your own company.”
Rayna continued to smile. “Thank you, Mrs. Xavier, but that’s not needed.”
“You may raise your conditions,” Emma chimed in. She had to satisfy Rayna to the best of her ability. I’d rather Rayna become a part of our family than that mistress’ daughter!
“I don’t have any conditions. I have things to do, so I’ll be going now.”
Sensing Emma’s determination to pester her and reluctance to leave, Rayna held Carl’s hand and decided to move elsewhere. However, before they could take a few steps ahead, Emma halted them again.

Persistent and forceful, Emma even stopped trying to negotiate with Rayna. “You must marry my son!”
Rayna was rendered speechless.
“I photocopied the agreement you made with my son. Even if you disagree, everyone will think you and my son are getting married once I expose the agreement to the public.”
Rayna was at the limit of her patience. “Ms. Xavier, don’t you find yourself revolting? You went through your son’s belongings without permission and are using them to threaten me.”
“He’s my son, so I have the right to look through his belongings.” Emma did not think she had done anything wrong. “Have the wedding with my son next month. I’ll help you contact the designers for your wedding dress and the ring.”
“Thanks but no thanks.”
Emma fixated her piercing gaze on Rayna. “I know you fancy Faymon Group’s Mr. Faymon. How do you figure he will react when he knows about the agreement’s content?”
Rayna’s face turned grim instantaneously. “You’d better don’t cross the line!”
“There will be room for discussion as long as you marry my son. I don’t mind if you two only stay together for a month after registering for the marriage certificate. I’ll even compensate you for your effort.”
“I suppose you’re afraid of Ms. Sanders?” Rayna was well aware of Emma’s scheme after being badgered by the latter for so long. “You’re afraid she would rekindle a relationship with your son, so you came looking for me.”
Emma admitted readily. “That’s right. I indeed dislike that mistress’ daughter. Even if she acquires Sanders Group, her background is still tainted. She’s not worthy of my son.”
“Anyone who becomes your daughter-in-law in the future will be so unfortunate.”
Emma bellowed, “Rayna, mind your manners! I’ve been kind enough to put up with your ill behavior for so long. Do you think you’re the only viable candidate for my son?”
Rayna sneered. “I am friends with Ms. Sanders and am not interested in doing something as despicable as that. Do what you want with the agreement. I’m not bothered!”
She was planning on informing Curtis about that matter anyway.
Holding Carl’s hand, she strode off. However, Emma immediately clung to her again. This time, Carl couldn’t stand idly by anymore. He swatted Emma’s hand away and uttered sternly in his childish voice, “Hey, you’re so self-righteous, wanting everyone to do as you say. It’s such a tragedy to be your son.”
“How dare you speak to me like that!” Emma glared at Carl. The boy was still young, but he appeared exceptional in a suit. His face was partially hidden behind a face mask, but his imposing aura couldn’t be concealed.
Looking at his eyes, Emma felt a sense of familiarity. He seems to resemble someone.
Carl said, “You are the one acting overbearingly. I’m just reciprocating your unpleasant conduct.”
Emma’s wrath intensified as she listened to him. Taking in his familiar gaze, she was so infuriated that she lunged forward in an attempt to take off Carl’s face mask, but Rayna reacted quicker by shielding him behind her back.
Rayna piped up, “Please show some respect to others, Mrs. Xavier.”
“Why does he need to wear a face mask when he’s here?” Emma glanced at Carl, standing behind Rayna, and snorted. “Could the rumors be true? Is this your illegitimate child?”
“He’s my friend’s child.”
“I’ve seen both your friends in the newspaper, but do you have to be so secretive about the child? Besides, you are the one who keeps him company all the time. Any outsider who sees this will assume you’re his mother. If you aren’t feeling guilty, take off his face mask and let me have a look.”
“He’s not acquainted with you, so there’s really no need for that,” Rayna responded coldly. She didn’t want to dwell further on that matter with Emma and wanted to leave, but the latter was reluctant to let her go.
Noticing Rayna being bullied, Carl dashed out from behind her and forcefully pushed Emma. Emma, wearing high heels, lost her balance and fell backward into the fountain, causing water to splash everywhere.
