Chapter 656

“It's just something to make sure you obey me. Don't worry. It won't kill you!” After returning to the car and opening the car door, Thibault added, “Remember what you said today. If you dare harm Rayna again, I'll be force-feeding you something else.”

With that, Thibault got into the car and sped off.

Standing by the street, Adrienne balled her fingers into fists as she watched the car leave her in the dust.

...

When Rayna arrived at Faymon Group together with Curtis, Tilly was waiting outside the latter's office with a thick stack of documents in hand.

Surprised by Rayna's presence, Tilly attempted to hide the documents behind her until Curtis gestured that it wasn't necessary.

Robin, who was in the office first thing in the morning, was briefly stunned to see that Curtis had come in with Rayna.

If I remember correctly, Mr. Faymon wants to discuss the Yartran real estate development today. Is it all right for Rayna to be here?

As Curtis led Rayna into the office, Tilly followed closely behind.

After settling Rayna down on the couch, Curtis walked right to his desk where Tilly subsequently placed the stack of documents on. Just as she was about to speak, she held her tongue the moment her gaze fell upon Rayna.

Noticing her hesitance, Curtis signaled for her to continue.

“Mr. Faymon, this is the information provided by our colleagues in Yartran. They reported that there are no fundamental problems with our real estate development there after surveying the site in the morning. Other than man-made reasons for the collapse, our contacts in Yartran never mentioned that the land had been separately developed before and that the ground below was mostly hollow.”

While flipping through the documents, Curtis froze when he heard the report. He then looked up at Tilly and asked, “Who is the head of the geological survey team at our end?”

“It's Andre Galvao,” Tilly replied. “I have already checked with him, and he said that they didn't notice anything amiss during their survey. He even claimed that it was impossible for the ground to be hollow. More importantly, we only discovered this after repeated checks on the site.”

Pointing at the document opened in Curtis' hand, Tilly added, “Here. Although it looks the same as the blueprints we initially received, it is actually different.”

With his gaze trailing Tilly's finger, Curtis began to compare the differences between the two blueprints. Finally, he realized one of them showed a larger area underneath the sunlight.

“This blueprint was provided by our contact in Yartran.” Tilly continued, “The person who drew the design was the royal designer of Yartran, Gordon Wolk. While this one was produced via a collaboration between our designer and Gordon. I have clarified the matter with our chief designer, Greta, and she has confirmed that the blueprint back then is the one you're holding in your left hand. As for the different blueprint that was presented, she had no knowledge of it.”

While speaking, Tilly showed Curtis the chat on her phone to ensure that there was no miscommunication.

“Leave the blueprint with me, and have the secretarial department follow up on this matter,” Curtis instructed after putting the blueprints away. It wasn't until Tilly had left that he got up and walked to Rayna's side.

Upon hearing his approaching footsteps, Rayna looked in the direction of the sound. “Has the blueprint been tampered with?”

“Mmm-hmm,” Curtis grunted in reply.

“How long has it been used? Didn't the first person who received it notice that something was wrong?” Rayna attempted to discuss the matter with Curtis. “Under different lighting conditions, the person studying it would definitely have discovered the issue. There's either something wrong with their eyes or maybe they are not our people.”

“Something wrong with their eyes?” Curtis honed in on a crucial point. “If that's true, how can we tell?”

“It really depends. To be honest, I'm not really sure, as I was just making a wild guess.” Mid-sentence, a thought suddenly struck her. “What about being color blind?”

“Color blind?” Curtis was intrigued.

“That's right. If light can change the color on the blueprints, wouldn't someone who's color blind not be able to tell the difference, unlike an ordinary person?” Rayna continued to put her theory into words. “Everything would then make sense.”

Upon hearing her words, Curtis pressed on the intercom. “Mr. Yeast, please come into my office.”
