His Precious Love

Chapter 196 A Change Of Hands
Curtis instantly understood what she was implying and curled the corner of his lips into a smile.
He scanned the beautiful scenery that the garden offered and nonchalantly queried the woman, “Aunt Sienna, do you think this is a great residence?”
“It’s been around for a few centuries. Of course, it’s great.” A flash of displeasure flitted past her eyes.
The residence wasn’t split by members of the Faymon family. Instead, Alfred gave it to Curtis alone.
“If you like it, Aunt Sienna, I’ll gift it to you,” said Curtis as he refilled her cup. His tone was laced with respect as he added, “Along with seventy percent of Faymon Group’s shares as well.”
Alfred gave all of his shares to this adopted son of his?
The look in Sienna’s eyes darkened at that thought, but she still maintained a gentle smile on her countenance. “Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Alfred gave the residence and Faymon Group’s shares to you, so how can I accept them?”
“In exchange, I hope you’ll let Rayna off.”
“Ms. Garland made a mistake. What does that have to do with me?” queried Sienna.
At that, Curtis stopped beating around the bush with his aunt. “You and I both know what exactly happened. It won’t be good for either of us if we were to lay it all out. As long as you’re willing to let her go, I’ll agree to any and all of your terms.”
Sienna turned to look at him upon hearing his words. “Curtis, I know your personality best. You’re not one to make rash decisions. She’s just a woman. What is it about her that you like?”
“Even the calmest person would lose their composure after knowing love.” He sighed lightly. “Besides, she lost her child, and I’d like to make it up to her.”
Just then, Gabriel came over to them and handed Curtis a folder.
Curtis pushed it toward Sienna and said in a low voice, “Aunt Sienna, on account of our aunt-nephew relationship, I hope you’ll fulfill this humble request of mine.”

“In addition to the residence and Faymon Group’s shares, there’s also one billion in cash. Don’t worry. As soon as you agree, I’ll announce my departure from the company, and thereupon, I won’t intervene in any of its affairs,” he added.
Sienna glanced through the documents.
Everything he was giving her was stated clearly in the contract, and there were a few additional items included. Greatly satisfied by the offer, the woman wore an amicable smile on her face.
“I won’t disallow it if that’s what you wish to do,” she said, closing the folder. “But you were ruthless toward Jason back then, and your Uncle Chester isn’t happy about that.”
In an indifferent tone, Curtis uttered, “He did that to himself, Aunt Sienna. Besides, Uncle Chester doesn’t have any shares in the company. Are you sure you want to work with him?”
“Of course, not. I’m just reminding you to be careful, that’s all.” As she spoke, Sienna rose from her seat. “All right, I’m very happy with our meeting today. For that reason, I’ll take care of Ms. Garland’s matter.”
He inclined his head in acknowledgment. “In that case, I’ll leave it to you. Thank you, Aunt Sienna.”
Gabriel saw the woman off and returned a few minutes later. A hint of panic flashed in his eyes as he looked at Curtis.
“Mr. Faymon, isn’t that too risky of a move?”
“Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” The man continued savoring the tea. It was good but not as good as the one Rayna made for him. As such, he set his cup down in disdain after taking only one sip.
“Well, that’s not wrong…” Gabriel murmured before asking, “Then, what about Ms. Garland?”
A menacing smile spread across Curtis’ face as he reassured his assistant, “No one would dare lay a finger on Rayna. I only said that to ensure she’d let her guard down.”
She dares to touch my woman and attempt to usurp Faymon Group from me? Hmph! I’d like to see if Sienna can handle what’s to come.
Besides being mistreated on her first day in the police station, Rayna was treated fairly well by the police officers on the subsequent days she spent there, and they even prepared a small private room for her.
Most importantly, they stopped torturing her to get a statement out of her.
Despite having told them everything she knew, the police officers refused to let her call her family, citing her being a suspect as the reason. They didn’t allow her to go out of her room, nor did they allow her to make a call.
After being cooped up in the police station for seven days, Rayna was finally released.
The perpetrator who murdered Meredith was found, and it was the driver of the white sedan that rammed into Meredith’s car. Apparently, he was hired by the wife of an old CEO to kill the woman. The driver was plagued by mental illnesses, so after committing the crime, he rammed straight into Meredith’s car and ran away with the murder weapon.
However, Rayna didn’t believe that was what happened at all.
Meredith wanted to kill me, but she ended up dead, while I was framed for her murder. Seven days later, the police caught the real perpetrator out of the blue and released me. What on earth is going on? Who is behind this, and why did they frame me?
Afraid that Linda and James would be worried sick because of her, she switched on her phone, intending to give them a call. Numerous messages and notifications of missed calls popped up as soon as the phone was switched on, and before she could dial the number, a call came in.
Upon picking up the call, Rayna asked, “What is it, Ms. Gardner?”
“Ms. Garland, I should be picking you up after your acquittal, but I really can’t make it.” Naomi’s voice was laced with anxiousness. “This morning, Mr. Faymon and Ms. Sienna came to the office.”
Rayna furrowed her brows as she queried, “What is Ms. Sienna doing in Faymon Group? Even if I’m enmeshed in trouble, Mr. Faymon and the vice CEO should be in charge of the company’s affairs. Ms. Sienna isn’t a member of the company.”
“Old Mr. Faymon gave his shares to Ms. Sienna,” explained Naomi. “And Mr. Faymon also gave his shares to her. Now, the biggest shareholder of Faymon Group is none other than Ms. Sienna.”
What?
Rayna was stunned. She had no time to dwell on that and quickly hailed a taxi.
