Dear Sweetheart novel

Rayna followed the manager into the office.

After closing the door, she placed the bag on the desk before the manager could even say anything.

She then unzipped the bag and revealed the stacks of cash inside.

The manager was completely stunned upon seeing that.

“Here’s three hundred thousand in cash. All I need you to do is delete the surveillance camera footage that shows

me driving back here today afternoon,” Rayna said while pointing at the bag.

The manager glanced at the money with widened eyes, seemingly wavering.

After thinking about it for two whole minutes, the manager asked, “So, you just need me to delete the surveillance

camera footage that shows you returning? Nothing else?”

Rayna nodded. “Someone might come over a few days later to check the surveillance camera footage. He’s very

skilled when it comes to IT stuff, so make sure to do a clean job at deleting the footage.”

“No problem. I’ll have someone take care of it,” the manager reassured her.

Rayna took the rest of the cash out of the bag and stacked them neatly on the desk. “All right. Thank you very

much.”

She then left the manager’s office and returned to her condominium.

After closing the door behind her, she pulled out a voice recorder and played her conversation with the manager

earlier.

This was her backup plan.

If I can bribe this manager so easily, then Wyatt could most certainly do the same. If that happens, I’ll sue that

manager for deception using this recording!

A few peaceful days later, Rayna received a short video clip from Wilson.

The thumbnail of the video was a picture of Curtis dressed in a traditional outfit. The warm and gentle vibe of his

outfit formed a huge contrast with his cold and distant facial expression.

Rayna felt her heart skip a beat when she saw how attractive he looked.

As much as she didn’t want to see him, her finger had tapped on the play button before she even realized it.

While she did see him in that outfit fairly often while filming the video, seeing the finished product on her phone still

felt very impactful.

The camera angles were perfect, and the scenery in the background complemented his outfit really well.

It looked so good that, for a second there, Rayna forgot it was a fictional work of art. The look in Rayna’s eyes also

helped make the scene all the more realistic.

When the scene cut to Curtis staring affectionately into the camera, Rayna quickly exited the video.

Even with her phone flipped over, her head was still filled with images of Curtis’ gentle expression.

Ugh… Why am I like this? How long will it take for me to forget about him and move on? She rubbed her temples in

frustration.

“I’m sorry, sir. You can’t enter without an appointment. Please cooperate, or I will have to call for security…”

Rayna regained her senses when she heard her assistant, Ella, arguing with someone outside.

She wanted to see what was going on and had just gotten up from her chair when the door to her office was kicked

open.

Wyatt then stormed into her office a second later. His suit was wrinkled, and he looked somewhat exhausted as he

glanced about, his line of sight falling on Rayna.

“Where is she?” Wyatt asked while walking up to Rayna, the look in his eyes grim.

“Who are you talking about?” Rayna snapped back at him.

She glanced at the broken doorknob and continued with a sneer, “Mr. Lopez, please keep in mind that this is Glory,

not Lopez Group. You need to make an appointment with my assistant if you wish to see me. Not only have you

barged into my office like a vulgarian, but you also broke my door when you kicked it open. I’ll have to bill you for

the repairs later.”

“Drop the act! I checked the surveillance camera footage at Zenisan Villa! You went to see her four days ago, and

you took her with you! You really have gotten bolder, Rayna!” Wyatt yelled angrily.

Rayna crossed her arms as she replied, “Oh? Is that so? Why don’t you show that footage to the police and sue me

for kidnapping her, then? Oh, wait, you’ll need to have proof of your relationship with Jessie in order to do that!”

“D*mn you!”

Infuriated, Wyatt grabbed Rayna’s collar and pulled her toward him.

Because Rayna was a lot shorter, she had to stand on the tip of her toes.

“Let go of Ms. Garland, or I will call the police!” Ella yelled as she rushed over and tugged at Wyatt’s arm, only to

have him kick her in the gut.

It hurt so much that Ella curled up into a ball on the floor.

The look on Rayna’s face turned gloomy when she saw him hurt someone innocent. “Wyatt! My office has

surveillance cameras! I will take action if you hurt my employees again!”

Wyatt sneered and regarded her with disdain. He then lifted her even higher off the floor as he snapped back at

her, “Yeah? What could you possibly do to me, huh? You’re only successful today because of Curtis, so don’t you

dare threaten me! Now, I will ask you this one more time. Where are you hiding her?”

As the material of Rayna’s shirt was rather thin, she had to stand on her tiptoes just to prevent it from ripping.

“Why should I tell you? So you can keep her locked up like a prisoner? So you can torture her every single day?” she

asked while glaring coldly at him.

“What I do with her is none of your business! Don’t make me hurt you, Rayna!”

Rayna wasn’t the least bit intimidated by him and replied with a sneer, “Oh, please! It’s not like you haven’t hit a

woman before! I’m telling you, Wyatt Lopez. You’re never going to find her!”

The look on Wyatt’s face grew increasingly frosty after he heard that.

“Oh, and you can forget about that baby as well! Jessie is way too frail, so I’ll look after her with or without the baby.

I’ll also send her overseas and find her a decent man—”

Smack!

Wyatt raised his hand and slapped Rayna hard across the face.

The slap contained so much force that it left her stunned for quite a while, her cheek burning.

Does Wyatt hit Jessie like this when they get into arguments? Thank goodness I found a reliable private detective

and saved her from that mansion! There’s no telling what could happen to her if I rescued her even a day later!

Wyatt’s chest was heaving slightly, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging beneath his skin.

“Where are you hiding her?”

With her cheek red and still numb from the pain, Rayna looked up at him and said defiantly, “You’ll never find out,

Mr. Lopez! Come on, show me what other tricks you’ve got!”

Wyatt shot daggers at her. “So, you want to do this the hard way, huh? I’m warning you, Rayna. You’d better not

force my hand, or you will definitely come to regret it!”

He then tightened his grip on her shirt collar as he enunciated every word, “This is your last chance to answer my

question. Where is she?”

“I don’t know!” Rayna replied coldly.

Enraged by her stubbornness, Wyatt gave her another slap across the face.

Gabriel, who happened to come in at the right time, shuddered when he saw how violent Wyatt was.

He then ran toward the latter and grabbed his arm to stop him.

“Please calm down, Mr. Lopez! You and Ms. Garland used to date each other in the past, right? How could you hit

her like this?”

Wyatt shot him a vicious glare. “Let go of me, or I’ll hit you as well!”

Gabriel continued gripping Wyatt’s arm. “Don’t do this, Mr. Lopez! Ms. Sanders was involved in a car accident, so

Mr. Faymon needs you to head over to Xyperia!”

“What?” Wyatt froze upon hearing that.

Rayna, too, was stunned for a few seconds. “How did that happen? Is it serious?” she asked anxiously.

“Very. The doctors at the hospital are currently trying their best to stabilize her condition.” Gabriel let out a sigh as

he continued, “I came over as soon as I got the call from Mr. Faymon. The private jet has already been prepared.”
