Wedding Bells Chime for Mr. Curtis Faymon and Ms. Wendella Sainz. The headline in bold text felt like a thorn in Rayna’s eyes.

Her arms were shaking slightly.

She had thought she would no longer care about that man after returning from Summerbank, but a crushing pain seared through her heart when she saw the trending news of him being arm-in-arm with another woman.

Being the first to regain her composure, Jessica snatched the phone from Rayna’s hand. “Some of these reporters have nothing better to do than to write clickbait articles on the entertainment industry.”

“That’s right!” Kristie, too, had regained her senses and nodded fervently. “They must be writing nonsense.”

“Which company would dare publish things like that without Curtis’ approval?” Rayna’s expression was calm as if the matter did not affect her in the slightest. “Wendella Sainz? Sounds familiar.”

She could not recall where she had heard the name.

“Is she part of your acquaintances?” Rayna gazed at Kristie. “Do you know her?”

Kristie shook her head and tugged on Rayna’s arm. “Don’t dwell on it, Rayna. Wendella is nothing compared to you. I wonder if Curt has gone blind. Don’t worry. I’m on your side. Tell me the type of men you like, and I’ll set you up with someone with my vast connections. Any of them would be a hundred times better than Curt!”

“All right.” Rayna smiled lightly as she tilted her head to the side and considered the matter. “All I ask is that he stands at least a meter eighty tall, is respectful and loving and is able to support me.”

“A-Are you serious, Rayna?” Kristie was dumbfounded. “Are you toying with me?”

Worried that Kristie would say something wrong, Jessica quickly pulled her aside. “Kristie meant to say that respectful and loving may be too general. Do you have any specific demands for their characters or appearances?”

Rayna smiled. “Not particularly. Besides, only men of exceptional characters belong in the same social circle as Kristie. I’ll be happy as long as they don’t think I’m beneath them.”

Jessica pushed Kristie away.

Upon understanding the meaning behind the look she received, Kristie hurriedly said, “Can do. I will look for him for you in a while, Rayna.”
