Dear Sweetheart Chapter 48 I Will Break Your Neck

“Interesting! Did you make this? Was it difficult making something like this?” Rayna was intrigued by the

ring. She tapped it twice, and the red light dimmed.

“It’s not too difficult. It’s harder getting the materials,” the brother replied. James managed to get the

materials from his instructor because he had put extra effort into his assignment. The material would cost

a tonne if he were to sell it off in the market.

James had made two similar rings. One of them had a more appealing design, and James originally

wanted to give it to Rayna and the plain one to Roxanne, but Kristie saw the prettier one and took it.

When Kristie saw that ring, she put it on immediately and refused to take it off. She even threw James

her credit card, saying, “It’s just a ring. Just charge however much you want for it. I’m not giving it back to

you.”

Little did she know, money was not the main issue to James, but regardless, James had no intention of

arguing with her, for he dreaded her high-pitched screech most of all.

So, he had no choice but to sacrifice Roxanne. He figured he could just take the ring back from Kristie

when he quit.

“Does Roxanne have one?” Rayna suddenly asked. “She’s in the entertainment industry, so I guess she

needs this more than I do.”

“She does. I’ll give it to her later.”

Since James had said so, Rayna did not see why she should turn him down. Although the design was

not to her taste, Rayna still put it on since it fitted her ring finger nicely and was a tracker made especially

by her brother.

When lunch time came, the doorbell rang. It was Roxanne.

“I hope I’m not too late. I came right after I finished the shoot for an ad,” she announced gleefully. She

looked at her brother in disbelief upon entering the house. “James! What did you eat at school? You grew

so tall!”

“I didn’t have any superfood. You only have yourself to blame for not being as tall,” James ridiculed.

“Hey! I’m a hundred and seventy! I’m taller than Rayna, at least!” Roxanne seethed, kicking James.

“Please speak politely to your sister. You’re always so rude. Does it hurt being polite to your elder sister?”

“Why do I feel like you’re younger than me?”

“Cut it out, James!”

“All right. That’s enough. Come over and eat,” Rayna called out, knocking on the table.

After Roxanne went over to the table, Rayna glared at her and questioned, “Since when are you taller

than me? I’m also a hundred and seventy,” Rayna pointed out.

“Rayna, that’s not your height. You’re a hundred and sixty-eight.”

Rayna picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it in Roxanne’s mouth. “Shut up and eat!”

Linda smiled, looking at the children bantering among themselves.

During the meal, Linda saw to it that Roxanne had two plates of spaghetti until she was so full she lay flat

on the couch after the meal. Since Roxanne was not rushing to go home, Rayna suggested that they

play poker.

Roxanne readily flashed ten thousand in cash for the game, but all the money ended up being pocketed

by James.

“James Griffith! Can’t you go easy on me just once? I’m your second elder sister! Do you have

something against me? This is my money!” Roxanne bellowed in disgruntlement as she booted James.

“Just shut up if you’re a noob,” James teased with his lips curved. He was in a phenomenal mood, for he

had just won the game.

“Rayna! He’s bullying me!” Roxanne complained to Rayna. “He’s even taking advantage of me in a

game. He’s insufferable!”

“Says the one who kicked me!” James begged to differ.

“So, what? How could you do this to a woman? You’re doomed to be single forever, James!” Roxanne

shouted, kicking him twice again.

“He already has a girlfriend, though,” Rayna suddenly interrupted with a sly smile.

“For real?” Roxanne was surprised. She looked at James and asked, “Who’s this tasteless girl?”

James’ expression darkened.

“What? James has a girlfriend?” Linda came dashing over when she heard their conversation. “James,

you’re still young. You should focus on your studies now.”

“Mom, she’s just my schoolmate. No one has the time to think about relationships at my school,” James

explained, rubbing his buzz cut.

“Good to know,” Linda noted with a sigh of relief.

“I bet she doesn’t even like you. Look at yourself in the mirror. You’re so clueless. I wouldn’t even fall for

you if I were a young girl,” Roxanne chaffed with a laugh.

“You’re so annoying, Roxanne,” James retorted with a fallen face.

Kristie is already a handful. I can’t believe I have to deal with Roxanne even after work.

The sister stuck out her tongue at James and took out her phone as she turned to Rayna. “Rayna, I

came across a really cool beautifying app recently. Why don’t we take some selfies together?”

Rayna looked back in disgust. “I’m not sure about you, but I’ve really had enough of you. I already see

you every day.”

“Hey! It’s just a few photos!”

James stared hard at Roxanne, feeling something was amiss, and his gaze turned cold.

The three of them stayed at Linda’s place until about three in the afternoon before taking their leave.

Rayna wanted to send James back, but the latter declined.

“It’s fine, Rayna. I can go home with Roxanne. I have something to discuss with her,” he answered,

hugging Roxanne’s shoulder.

“Okay, then.”

So, Rayna hailed a taxi after she walked out of the residential area.

As for James, since Roxanne’s minivan was just right beside the road, he went in with her with his arm

still around her.

“What do you want, James?” Roxanne questioned the moment they got in.

Instead of answering, James grabbed her phone from her bag and unlocked it before Roxanne could

even stop him.

When he clicked into the album, he saw numerous photos of Rayna and waved the phone in front of

Roxanne. “Why did you take so many photos of her?” he interrogated.

“What’s wrong with that? Can’t I take pictures of my sister?” Feeling uncomfortable under James’ burning

gaze, Roxanne came up with a strained excuse.

“Don’t lie! You’re so selfish and vain!” James scoffed. He thought Roxanne had used Rayna’s photos for

unscrupulous purposes, so he opened her WhatsApp.

Roxanne felt her heart thumped violently.

That’s it.

James scrolled through her chats but did not find Roxanne’s conversation with Jefferson, for she had the

habit of deleting all her conversations with him.

James could not put a finger on anything without any proof.

“That’s enough, James,” Roxanne snapped, snatching her phone back. “She’s my sister. I won’t do

anything to her, even if I’m selfish and vain. I’m not that mean!”

“Then why did you save so many photos of her?”

Roxanne felt so pressured she broke into a sweat. She pouted, answering, “Fine. I’ve been looking for a

boyfriend for her since she divorced Julian.”

“You’re looking for a boyfriend for her? I doubt you’ll even come across anyone decent,” James

commented, eyeing her from tip to toe.

“What do you mean?” Roxanne reacted in dissatisfaction. “I’m still popular in the circle and know many

high-level executives in many companies. They’re way better than Julian.”

“She has just gone through a divorce. Can’t you give her a break, at least? Whether she gets married or

not has nothing to do with you,” James argued, his hand pressing against the car seat.

“I’m just trying to help our own sister! You don’t have to be so hard on me as if I did something

unforgivable,” Roxanne replied, shrinking backward to keep some distance.

“You’d better not do anything. I don’t care how you behave in the entertainment industry, but I’ll break

your neck if you dare use Rayna as a bargaining chip.”

Roxanne paled. That was the first time James ever threatened her.
