His Precious Love

Chapter 264

Chapter 264 Secret In The Pearl Earrings
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s really fine, Ms. Garland. You’re going to make me feel bad if you keep doing this.”
Although Jordan repeatedly told Rayna not to worry about it, the latter couldn’t help but feel bothered. After all, she was the one who had lent them the car that almost cost them their lives.
Curtis called over a secretary to help handle the admission procedures for Jordan and her boyfriend. The company would shoulder their medical fees, and Jordan was given a two-week leave and a year’s worth of salary as compensation.
After arranging everything, he led Rayna away.
On their way back, Rayna’s brows were still furrowed. Noticing that, Curtis took her hand and comforted her, “The police are already investigating the site. They will find out the cause soon.”
“I take that car for maintenance regularly, so it shouldn’t be the car’s problem,” Rayna said.
Curtis’ eyes darkened at that.
As a well-known car brand, BC had very few cases of spontaneous combustions. Even if there were, it wouldn’t be as severe as the incident earlier, where nothing was left from the explosion.
When they arrived home, Curtis received the investigation report.
Based on the ruins on site, the police speculated that a detonator had been installed at the bottom of the vehicle. Once the car was started, the detonator would explode after a set amount of time.
“It must be Mr. Ziegler who ordered someone to do that. He even got my mom into an accident. There’s nothing else he can’t do!” Rayna said coldly as chills ran down her spine.
She figured that the car had been tampered with on the day her license was suspended. They must have messed with the car after Wyatt helped me park it in the underground parking lot of the residential area, but they did not expect me to not drive after all since that day. If Jordan and her boyfriend hadn’t gotten out of the car because of her upset stomach, things would have been disastrous.
“It seems that the person backing him is very powerful. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to do these things so openly,” Curtis sneered, his eyes glinting murderously. He was clearly incensed.
Rayna hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and reminded him, “Don’t be reckless. Let’s not go against him before we get any evidence, or we might end up on the losing end.”

“Have you ever seen me being scared of anyone?”
“Curtis!”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Curtis pulled her close and pressed his lips against her forehead. “I have solid evidence that he embezzled the company’s funds two years ago. Although it’s not a big amount, it’s enough to get him a few months of jail time. You can look into him thoroughly in the coming months. Okay?”
Rayna leaned against his shoulder and murmured, “I’m so useless, right? It’s been so long, yet I still haven’t found anything.”
“You’re not. It’s supposed to be the police and the detectives’ job. You’re already doing very well. If you’re going to put it that way, does that mean I’m more useless, then? I haven’t found anything as well.”
“Curtis.”
“Yeah?”
Rayna wrapped her arms around him and rubbed her head against his chest. As she took in his pleasant scent, she felt safe. “It’s so nice to be rich.”
Curtis burst into laughter at her words. “You’re such an unpredictable woman. I thought you were going to compliment me.”
“You’re rich, so it’s the same thing,” Rayna mumbled.
“I like hearing that.” Seeing that it was getting late, Curtis carried her to the room. “Let’s go to bed.”
When Rayna heard his ambiguous words, she remembered the moment they had shared before getting interrupted by the phone call. Immediately, a blush crept across her face. She wrapped herself in the blanket and waited nervously while Curtis removed his clothes and switched off the lights.
He proceeded to lie on the other side of the bed and stayed still.
Caught off guard by his behavior, Rayna couldn’t help but ask, “You’re going to sleep… already?”
“Why?” Curtis turned around. At the sight of her expression, he realized something and curled his lips up into a playful smirk. “The size you got is indeed too small. It won’t fit me.”
“Go to hell!” In her frustration, Rayna sent him a kick.
Curtis grabbed her foot swiftly. In a deep and seductive voice, he said, “I was worried you’d be too tired since you still have work tomorrow, so I told you to go to bed. If you keep seducing me, don’t blame me for what I’m about to do.”
Pulling the blanket over her face, Rayna grumbled, “Fine, I’m going to sleep. Let me go.”
Curtis released her foot, but he pulled her into his arms the next second. Through her thin camisole, she could feel his heart beating.
“Let’s sleep.” His voice sounded from above her head.
Rayna circled her arms around his waist and soon fell asleep soundly in his warm embrace.
While Curtis sent Mathias to jail on charges of embezzling Faymon Group’s funds, Rayna was at her wits’ end.
She had yet to dig up anything even after so long.
Curtis would visit her from time to time, and he felt heartbroken whenever he saw how anxious she was. “Mr. Ziegler must have found something since he said that. Think about it carefully. What did Julian give you?”
“He really didn’t give me anything.” Rayna rubbed her forehead. “Do you think he placed it somewhere and left me some hints?”
Suddenly, Curtis reached out and touched the pearl earrings she was wearing.
“This was a gift from him, wasn’t it?”
