“No, don’t worry. I figured it must’ve been your brother, so I had Ringo keep an eye on him to ensure his safety,” Jefferson reassured her.

“Please let me know if you manage to find him. This is all my fault. I was so useless that I couldn’t even keep Kristie safe,” Rayna said with a guilty look on her face.

She was so afraid of James hating her that she didn’t dare call him after that.

Seeing her so upset reminded Jefferson of his phone call with Ringo. He had told Ringo to let Arnaud’s men follow Kristie, which led to that horrific incident.

If anything, it was his greed that led to Kristie’s tragedy.

Suppressing his feelings of guilt, Jefferson said, “I’ll be sure to contact you as soon as I find him. Now, try to relax. Stressing yourself out is bad for the babies.”

“Yeah, you’re right. I can’t let myself get too worked up. It’s bad for my babies.” Rayna then took a few deep breaths to calm herself down before continuing, “How is Arnaud now?”

“The bullet was coated with a nasty poison. He had his right arm amputated after being rushed to the hospital last night,” Jefferson said with a hint of glee in his voice.

The look in Rayna’s eyes grew cold as she let out a chuckle. “Haha! I can’t wait to see him eat with his left hand when he has nothing left!”

“Oh, this reminds me… Marcus came to see me last night. He signed the document,” Jefferson said while handing her a folder.

Rayna took it over and skimmed through it. “Really? I was so worried about it this morning. I was afraid you won’t get the inheritance right. Why was he willing to sign it, though?”

As she glanced at Jeremy’s signature, she saw that it looked a little different from the one she had someone forge.
