Chapter 630

Half an hour later, Roxanne left the study. As she passed by Curtis, she glanced at him with an obviously unhappy look in her eyes.

While Roxanne didn't have the best relationship with Kristie, they didn't even want to look at each other at that moment.

Upon seeing that, Jasmine approached Roxanne. “I'll send you out.”

Roxanne nodded before the two left the living room and the Faymon residence.

Soon after Jasmine left, Theodore stood and approached Curtis. “Don't take it to heart.”

“I'm not.” For the most part, Curtis didn't mind Roxanne's attitude, but some of what she said hurt him. Could Rayna's accident and kidnapping have been prevented if Jefferson was still alive? No, no, I shouldn't overthink it or compare myself to him. It's pointless.

Rayna had no idea how long she had been on Conch Island. Her blindness made her feel very unsafe. Although she knew Caylie and the man wouldn't hurt her, that knowledge didn't make her feel any safer.

“Can you tell me if there are other people on the island, Caylie?” As Rayna sat on the balcony couch and listened to the sound of the ocean waves, she asked Caylie, who was standing next to her, a question. “Are there any shops or malls here?”

“I know the name sounds a bit unique, but Conch Island is the same as any other place, Ms. Griffith. There are other residents on the island, but they're a rare sight here because this place is quite far away from town,” Caylie explained. “Did you ask that question because you want to go shopping, Ms. Griffith?”


Shopping, eh? I don't particularly feel like doing anything, but it is quite boring staying in the mansion all day. “A little...” Rayna whispered, “But I don't know if he, you know...”

“I think he'll allow it. After lunch, I'll call him and ask him about it. Or should I dial the number and let you talk to him?” Caylie suggested.

“Mhm, that sounds good to me.” Rayna nodded. It'll be great if I can shop around. Spending all day either inside or around this building is quite dull. If I go shopping, I'll be able to experience that sense of liveliness and crowdedness, which sounds enticing to me right now.

Aside from Rayna, Caylie, a few housekeepers, and bodyguards, there weren't any other people. The mansion felt very big to Rayna. In fact, for the past few days, Rayna would occasionally ask Caylie to accompany her on a tour around the mansion. They had done that around seven or eight times already.

Meanwhile, a phone had been buzzing on an office table again and again.

When someone pushed the office door open and saw no one else was inside, they were going to leave right away. However, they stopped and approached the office table after hearing the phone vibrating.

An unknown number was displayed on the screen. It was hard to tell if someone had called the phone by accident or if the phone's owner intentionally didn't add the number to their contacts, which would be suspicious.

A pair of slender hands grabbed the phone and answered the call.

Without delay, the woman on the other end spoke. “Are you busy right now?”

“Mhm,” the man answered with a deep voice.

The woman remained silent for a moment before saying, “I want Caylie to bring me to the town for a shopping trip.”

Bring her to town? So this call came from the countryside? Softly, the man replied, “All right.” Then, he changed his voice. “Where are you planning to shop in town?”

“Hmm... Wait a second. Caylie, are there many places in town?” Rayna wasn't sure how huge Conch Island's town was. Thus, she wasn't sure how to answer his question.

“It's not big, but it's not small either. However, there are indeed many places in Conch Island's town. There's even an area that acts as a boundary separating the island from a neighboring country.” The man could clearly hear Caylie speaking on the other end. “Just tell him we're going to shop around the town center. We won't go anywhere else.”

The reason she said that was because she wasn't familiar with the area near the boundary and was afraid she would accidentally bring Rayna to somewhere they shouldn't.
