Chapter 530

“No, I have to leave the country now!” Rayna shoved him away as tears streamed down her cheeks. “Yatran is a big country. She didn't bring anything with her and had lost contact with you for so long. She must be struggling there!”

I thought Jessie would be fine there as it was Jefferson's territory. I can't believe she went missing there!

Jefferson pulled her into his arms and comforted her in a low voice, “Belle, take a deep breath. She'll be okay. My men made a mistake, so I share the blame for her disappearance. I understand your concern for her as a close friend, but you must also take care of yourself. Arnaud's people are in Yartran. If you go to the airport, they will find out instantly and set a trap for you.”

“But I can't ignore Jessie,” Rayna replied in a hoarse voice, her eyes turning red. “She disappeared for so long, and you couldn't find her at all. How can I not be worried?”

Jefferson said reassuringly. “Don't worry. Ringo checked the underground circles, and there was no sign of Jessica. She must be somewhere in Yartran. She'll be okay.”

Despite that, Rayna didn't cheer up.

Yartran was a big country with dozens of cities. Jessica didn't have any money, so it would be difficult for her to survive there.

“I'll fake an identity and sneak there,” Rayna suggested, for she was still worried. “I want to search for her personally.”

Right then, someone knocked at the door of the CEO's office.

“Mr. Hamilton, Ms. Garland.” Ella opened the door and came in. “Ms. Garland, Mr. Lopez from Lopez Group wants to see you.”

Rayna frowned. “Are you talking about Wyatt Lopez?”

“Yes. He's in the reception room now.”

“He previously barged into my office. Why is he so polite today?” Rayna gritted her teeth in anger. “How dare he show up here?”

Ella asked, “Should I tell him to visit another time as you're busy?”

“No need! Bring him to my office now. Let's see what he wants to talk about,” Rayna ordered sternly.

Jefferson had also heard how Wyatt barged into Rayna's office and acted rudely a while ago. Afraid Rayna would get hurt, he offered to keep her company. “I fear he'll hurt you and the babies.”

Rayna shook her head. “I'll be fine alone. You should go back to work. He won't be able to step out of the front door if he dares to hit me!”

Jefferson had no choice but to comply. “If anything crops up, call me through the internal line.”

Rayna's eyes were swollen as she had just cried.

She went to the restroom to touch up her makeup before returning to her office. There, she saw Wyatt sitting on the couch. He seemed more subdued than usual, as if a cloud of gloom had settled over him.

When Rayna saw him staring at the ground blankly, she strode over and sneered, “Mr. Lopez, why are you so polite now? I thought you'd barge into my office and hit me like what you did the previous time!”

Wyatt slowly lifted his head upon hearing her words. His expression was downcast, and it was clear that he was feeling discouraged.

Ignoring her sarcastic comment, he asked patiently, “Where did you hide her?”

“Mr. Lopez, you are a capable man, right? If you can find her the first time, why can't you find her now?” Rayna sat in the seat across from him and snorted icily. “Don't tell me you're that useless.”

“Rayna, I'm not here to argue with you today.” Wyatt forced himself to stay calm. “I know you sent her to Yartran. Where in Yartran is she located?”

As Rayna scowled without saying a word, he added, “What do you want?”

“What do I want?” Rayna lifted her head to look at him.

She was disgusted by his haggard look and how he deliberately acted humble before her. It felt like a villain had chopped off her limbs before asking if it hurt.

Cold with fury, she grabbed the cup of hot coffee Ella had delivered earlier and threw it at Wyatt's face.

Although the coffee wasn't made with boiling water, its heat was sufficient to cause Wyatt's face to redden.

Wyatt wiped the liquid off his face and glared at Rayna as the veins on his forehead twitched.

Rayna slammed the cup back on the desk and snapped, “Wyatt, why don't you ask what Jessie wants? You are the reason her family was destroyed. How dare you ask where she is?”

“Didn't she take revenge on me?” Wyatt retorted as he clenched his jaw in hatred. “I know her plan, but I endured her actions. Instead, she aborted my baby to avenge her family and make me suffer!”

I may have inflicted pain upon her, but without me, she would have never gotten closer to her enemy. I hated her, but I never tried to harm her family!

“That's impossible!” Rayna hissed. “She'd never do that. You must've done something to harm her for her to abort her baby.”

Wyatt snickered icily. “Getting pregnant is within her plan. Do you think she cares? I went to the hospital and watched as she aborted the baby. I couldn't be blind, could I?”

Rayna furrowed her brows.

She knew Jessica had lost her baby but didn't know how it went. Jessica didn't tell her anything about the abortion.

I talked to Jessica on the phone when she first got pregnant. She promised she wouldn't use the child to take revenge on Wyatt. It didn't seem that she was joking, but why did she abort the baby?

Wyatt got a piece of tissue to wipe off the coffee droplets on his face and said calmly, “Rayna, tell me where she is. I won't do anything to her. All I want is to talk to her.”

“How could you be this shameless?” Rayna let out an angry snort. “You want her...”
