Try as she might, Rayna couldn’t stop blaming herself. My first mistake was not picking up Jessica’s call. Otherwise, I’d have known Kristie sneaked out to look for me. My second mistake was putting the phone on silent mode and missing Kristie’s call. If I had answered and picked her up from the airport, none of this would’ve happened! Even James had avenged Kristie by marching off to Yartran alone and breaking Arnaud’s arm. I, on the other hand, have done nothing! I’m such a useless sister!

Before Rayna knew it, tears were streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably. She covered her mouth as she sobbed and didn’t hear the footsteps approaching until a pair of legs appeared in front of her.

The next second, Rayna felt herself getting lifted and dragged outside.

She struggled to keep up with Curtis’ pace, and when she almost fell, her hand went instinctively to her stomach.

“Slow down. The baby—” Rayna muttered, only to stop herself midway.

Curtis suddenly released his grip on the woman and turned to glare at her. “Who told you to come here?”

“I wanted to see Kristie,” Rayna replied as she slowly moved her hand away.

“Well, you’ve seen her.”

Having tried her best to compose herself, Rayna gingerly raised her head and met Curtis’ gaze. “I’m sorry… What did you do to Kristie? Why doesn’t she remember James?”

“Why do you care?” the man scoffed. “Are you going to berate me if I did do something?”

“That’s not what I meant,” Rayna retorted as she clenched and unclenched her fists nervously. “You know how much James loves her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have—”

“I don’t. I only know they’ve broken up and no longer have anything to do with each other,” Curtis interrupted coldly. “Please leave here this instance.”
