His Precious Love

Chapter 345 Her Old Flame
Cillian had no choice but to feign ignorance at her question. “Surely that’s not possible. Mr. Faymon and Rayna are on such good terms.”
His answer caused Roxanne to scrutinize him. “That’s not what I asked. You know something!”
Sh*t!
“I-I don’t know anything…” Cillian threw his hands up, muttering weakly, “I’m just a lowly bodyguard. I follow Mr. Faymon around daily, but I don’t go into his office.”
Roxanne caught the guilt that flashed across his face and was certain he knew something. “Cillian, you’re going home alone tonight.”
“Huh? I thought you wanted to watch the fireworks together…” Cillian was baffled.
“I don’t feel like going anymore!” Roxanne glared at him. “I’m going to stay here and celebrate Christmas with Mom tonight!”
Cillian finally understood that Roxanne was angry. He begged, “Please… I don’t want to spend Christmas alone.”
How miserable would that be?
Cillian was speechless when Roxanne pretended not to hear him.
He stole a glance at James. Sorry, James. I know I promised to keep it a secret, but Roxanne is more important to me.
Cillian brought Roxanne to a room and proceeded to lay bare everything he knew. He recounted the events from Rayna contacting him to how he defected to Rayna’s side and returned to Yeringham to spy on Curtis, including everything that happened between the couple.
It took only three minutes for him to unload what he knew, but Roxanne was stunned for a long time after listening to him.
Waving his hand in front of Roxanne’s face, Cillian asked, “Hey! Hello, are you okay? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Roxanne sucked in a long breath and yelled, “Gosh! Why did they break up—”

“Shhh! Keep your voice down!” Cillian hurriedly covered her mouth. “The soundproofing is rather poor, so James will hear you!”
He had been afraid that Roxanne would overreact. Hence, he had brought her into the room.
It was a good call!
Pushing his hand away, Roxanne asked in astonishment, “Weren’t they on good terms? Why did they break up and why did Rayna go overseas?”
“I’m not sure. It seemed like she was searching for something.” Cillian shook his head. “Do you know Jefferson? Rayna could’ve broken up with Mr. Faymon because of him.”
“Jefferson Hamilton?” Roxanne stared at him with wide eyes.
Of course, I know him! If it wasn’t for his help, I would not have been able to become so successful. Moreover, he’s also Rayna’s former boyfriend.
Soon, Roxanne managed to calm herself. She murmured, “Could it be that Rayna and Jefferson rekindled the old flame, and that’s the reason she broke up with Curtis? But that doesn’t sound right…”
She had seen how much Rayna hated Jefferson, even going as far as to slap her when she brought up the latter’s name. That memory remained fresh in her mind.
So, why would they get back together?
Unable to make heads or tails out of her words, Cillian asked curiously, “What’s Rayna’s relationship with Jefferson?”
“Oh, he’s Rayna’s ex-boyfriend.”
“Huh?”
“Rayna met him when she was studying abroad, and he was her first love. Jefferson also helped me get into the entertainment industry.”
“What?”
“What are you blabbering about?” Roxanne smacked him on the head. “Shhh! You’re being too loud!”
Cillian rubbed his head, still reeling from the shock. “I thought it was strange… Rayna and Curtis were a perfect couple. So her old flame is the cause of their breakup…”
He pondered the information he had just learned. “Where’s Jefferson from?”
“Do you know about the Terblanc family from Yartran?”
Nodding, Cillian exclaimed, “He’s from the Terblanc family?”
“Yes. He’s also second in line for the inheritance.”
Cillian was rendered speechless.
Roxanne ignored the dumbfounded Cillian and rubbed her chin. “I don’t think it’s wise of her to do this… Jefferson may be rich, but their family has no reach in Aploth! I’d just signed a five-year contract with Excellent Entertainment Company. What if Curtis targets me because he’s pissed about their breakup?”
“I don’t think Mr. Faymon is such a petty man,” Cillian said.
“Hmph! Would you be angry if I’m taken away by another man?” she asked.
“Of course, I would!” Cillian’s reply was instant. He could not bear the mere thought of it. “If someone tries to take you away from me, I’ll blow his brains out!”
“That’s right.” Roxanne patted him on the shoulder. “Men are touchy when it comes to matters related to their women. There is no exception. “Dear Cillian, I will entrust Curtis to you. We need to help him get back together with Rayna. In my opinion, Curtis suits Rayna better than Jefferson after assessing their stats!”
“Uhh…” Cillian blurted, “Are you sure it isn’t because you’re afraid that Excellent Entertainment Company would drop you? If Jefferson were the shareholder of the company, I think you would be singing a different tune.”
