His Precious Love

Chapter 226

Chapter 226 A Taste Of Her Own Medicine
Suppressing her annoyance, Rayna forced a polite smile. “Ms. Goath, are you done talking?”
“Yes.”
“Good. It’s my turn to talk, then.” Since Stephanie belittled her, Rayna did not feel like showing her respect. “The biggest difference between us is perhaps our family background. Yes, your parents are outstanding people, so you never have to worry about anything in your life. You get to have everything you want. However, in regards to caliber, I doubt anyone would hire you, Ms. Goath.”
Stephanie’s expression changed from her censure, but her voice was still gentle and weak when she countered, “You—”
Rayna sneered, interrupting, “Also, let me give you a piece of advice, Ms. Goath. There’s a time and place for you to act pitiful. What’s the point of doing it before my eyes? You should do that to the person you like and see if that person would fall for it. Ms. Goath, if you’re truly that bored, you should visit the library and read up on books such as psychology and behavioral analysis. They’ll be helpful toward your pursuit of love.”
“You’re too arrogant, Rayna Garland!” After getting reprimanded, Stephanie dropped the pitiful act and glared at Rayna. “Do you know who my father is?”
“Give me a moment.”
With that, Rayna took out her phone and searched for the people who were close to the Xavier family and had Stephanie’s family name. After a while, she continued, “Oh! So your father is Commander Goath. He’s an impressive man.”
Thinking that she was intimidated, Stephanie revealed a contemptuous smile and said, “Yes. My family is powerful and influential. We can easily kick you out of Chanaea. Here’s a script for you. Explain your relationship with Teddy to the media using this. If you behave well, I’ll let you off the hook. Otherwise, I’ll make sure no one will do business with your company. Also, I can get your brother expelled. Once his education record is tainted, it will be hard for him to secure a job in the future!”
Halfway through her overbearing speech, she threw a document onto the table haughtily.
Rayna picked up the document and leafed through it. While chuckling, she said, “Are you asking me to say I’m a shameless woman who seduced Mr. Xavier? Ms. Goath, I’m impressed by what you’ve written!”
“You don’t have to care about content. All you need to do is read it.” Stephanie was deeply displeased with Rayna’s attitude. I’ve already dished out all the threats, but she’s still unperturbed!

Rayna merely flashed her a faint smile. “Please allow me to make a phone call before giving you my answer.”
I can’t stand this woman any longer.
Then, she called James, who picked up the phone rather quickly. “James, if someone were to collude with your teacher to pin something on you, would you be afraid?” she asked.
James snickered and answered, “The teachers here are dying to get my help! They wouldn’t dare to expel me.”
“Are you that capable?” Rayna questioned.
“Well, let’s just say everyone wants me,” he replied. “Besides, I’m going straight into MS after this. Even the local officials will have to show me respect.”
She did not understand his last sentence, so she asked, “What’s MS?”
“I can’t tell you that.” James changed the topic by asking, “What’s the matter, Rayna? Are you in trouble?”
“Yeah, but I can manage it myself; it’s a trivial matter. All right. I’ll hang up now.” Rayna hung up the phone, finally feeling relieved.
Now, I can go all out.
Stephanie’s patience had long run thin. ”You’re so rude! How could you call someone when you’re talking to me?”
“You disrespected me first, Ms. Goath. Obviously, I’m not going to show you respect either.” Rayna ripped the document to pieces and uttered, “I’m not reading something as disgusting as this.”
“Do you really want to oppose me, Rayna?” Her action caused Stephanie’s expression to turn grim. “It seems like you don’t care about your family!”
Rayna smacked her own forehead and said, “Oh, no! I should’ve turned on the loudspeaker when I was on the call just now so that you could listen to the conversation.”
Then, she abruptly stood up and propped her arms on the table, leaning toward Stephanie. “Ms. Goath, if you like Theodore, do your best in pursuing him. Don’t drag me into it. These days, money can make the world go round. If you dare to lay a finger on my family, I will turn your life upside down and show you how dark the world can be.”
Rayna exuded a frightening aura, and her gaze was cold and vicious. Petrified, Stephanie slumped into her chair and dared not move a muscle.
Afterward, Rayna threw some cash onto the table and said, “Let me pay for your coffee today, Ms. Goath.”
Upon saying that, she picked up her bag to leave.
Stephanie was incensed. Seeing that Rayna was leaving, she hurriedly took out a brown bottle from her purse and dashed toward her. While running, she shouted, “Rayna!”
Rayna instinctively turned around and seemed to catch a whiff of sulfuric acid in the air. When she saw that Stephanie was about to splash a bottle of substance onto her, she reacted swiftly by hitting her with her purse.
Caught off guard, Stephanie lost balance in her heels and fell to the ground. Due to the violent movement, the substance in the bottle splashed onto her arms and cheeks.
“Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!” The burning sensation on her cheeks and arms had her screaming at the top of her lungs. She writhed about on the ground, tempted to touch her face but dared not do so.
“My face! My face!” Stephanie shrieked from the agonizing pain.
