Chapter 207 Did Julian Give You Anything

At eight o’clock in the evening, Rayna hailed a taxi and went to the hotel.

Upon arriving at the hotel entrance, Rayna felt the urge to leave when she saw the name on the giant

screen and several receptionists at the door.

The hotel was under Faymon Group, and they were the host of this cocktail reception.

The last thing she wanted to see at that moment was Faymon Group.

“Are you Ms. Garland from Hatchair Group?” a receptionist greeted Rayna warmly just as she was about

to leave. “Please follow me.”

After much contemplation, Rayna smiled faintly. “Thank you.”

I came to this cocktail reception as a representative of Hatchair Group. It will be fine even if I run into

Curtis.

With that thought, she followed the receptionist into the hotel with her head held high.

Rumor had it that when Faymon Group’s recruitment started half a month ago, several executives’

inboxes had been flooded with emails. A sea of people also attended the job fairs hosted by the group.

Faymon Group had been established for decades. Even though this year was not a typical recruitment

season, there were more job seekers than the previous years.

It was no surprise that many people looked up to Faymon Group when the group reemerged at the top

after weathering such a big crisis. Everyone who received the invitation attended the event.

The magnificent banquet hall was filled with people.

Rayna entered the hall calmly.

That night, she wore a champagne-colored halter dress. The slim-fit design encapsulated her slender

figure, her fair skin glowing flawlessly under the lights.

Her black hair was tied into a loose bun and fastened with a camellia hair clip, revealing her slender

neck. She pursed her lips slightly and plastered a smile on her face.

“Ms. Garland.”

Some bigwigs in the industry knew Rayna because she had been the acting CEO of Faymon Group in

the past. Despite her youthful appearance, she managed to resolve several crises for the company.

Although she was no longer working at Faymon Group, a capable and beautiful woman like her naturally

attracted many people’s attention. Some of them came to greet her with a glass in their hands.

Rayna chatted with other people with a smile on her face. She was calm and collected.

Nevertheless, she was slightly surprised by the situation.

When Rayna was working as the interpreter for the vice CEO in the past, she had only talked to the other

company’s translator or representative while the higher-ups discussed collaborations. She did not have

the opportunity to communicate directly with the leaders.

It seemed that Rayna made acquaintances with more talented people after she became the acting CEO

of Faymon Group. She could communicate and mingle with these people effortlessly.

“Ms. Garland, you’re capable and stunning!” A big shot raised his glass and beamed at Rayna. “Mr.

Faymon is quite a discerning guy, isn’t he? After all, he managed to discover a gem like you.”

A smile bloomed on Rayna’s face. “You flatter me. There are many more capable women out there

besides me.”

Indeed, she would not have gotten to where she was today without Curtis’ help.

“Ms. Garland, why did you join Hatchair Group instead of staying at Faymon Group?” the big shot

probed.

“Faymon Group already has Mr. Faymon.” Rayna took the opportunity to introduce her company. “I like

new challenges, and Hatchair Group suits me perfectly. Mr. Quesada, let’s have a talk when you’re free,

shall we? I think our companies can cooperate on many projects.”

The big shot was glad to hear her words. ”Hahaha! We’re on the same page. It’s a deal, then. Ms.

Garland, you must promise to come over when I have time to invite you.”

Clinking her glass against his, Rayna responded, “Sure.”

After socializing with other people for nearly thirty minutes, Rayna felt her face stiffen due to her smiling

constantly. She came up with an excuse to walk away and took a glass of champagne from the table to

take a breather.

Suddenly, a man walked toward Rayna and greeted her in a deep voice, “Ms. Garland.”

Rayna maintained a polite smile on her face as she turned to greet the newcomer. Only then did she

realize that she knew this man.

It was Mathias Ziegler, the vice CEO of Faymon Group.

Rayna had only met him once when she was at Faymon Group. He rarely showed up at the company.

Mathias knew how to enjoy life and did not look old at all. He looked stylish in a suit. Despite his ordinary

look, he looked like a generous man who exuded a positive aura.

Rayna recalled Julian’s last words before he died and sized up Mathias. She could not believe that such

a kind-looking person had something to do with Jonathan’s death.

Putting away her thoughts, Rayna smiled faintly at Mathias. “Mr. Ziegler.”

Mathias clinked glasses with her.

“I’ve been busy with matters overseas, but I know all about what happened to you, Ms. Garland.”

Mathias stared intently at Rayna with a smile, causing her to feel a chill running down her spine. “There

are many powerful women in the business world, but there aren’t many who are as beautiful and capable

as you and don’t ask for anything in return.”

“How could I work for others and not ask for something in return?” Rayna retorted.

Mathias capitalized on the opportunity to make snide remarks about her. ”Does that mean Mr. Faymon

has given you a substantial reward? Ms. Garland, it must be difficult for you to get to this position as a

mere interpreter.” Suddenly, he smiled warmly. “Oh, I didn’t mean anything else by that. I was just too

surprised. No one wanted to take over Faymon Group back then. Ms. Garland, you’re quite bold, aren’t

you?”

“I majored in translation, but that doesn’t mean my ability is limited to languages.” Rayna smirked. “Mr.

Ziegler, have you not heard of the saying, ‘fortune favors the bold’?”

I despise people like him. Why does he insist on mocking other people? What a waste of this kind-

looking face!

Standing with her legs crossed gracefully, Rayna uttered, “Besides, both Old Mr. Faymon and Mr.

Faymon were still with the group back then. With so many capable executives under me, what was there

to be afraid of? As for you, Mr. Ziegler, it’s understandable that you have a lot on your plate. But still,

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

you’re Faymon Group’s vice CEO. You were nowhere to be seen when the group was in trouble. Now

that Faymon Group is back on track, you’re suddenly not busy anymore. To be honest, I’m not the only

person who thinks you’re taking advantage of the group.”

Mathias frowned slightly. Rayna’s words had hit a nerve in him. Nonetheless, he masked his annoyance

with a kind smile. “Ms. Garland, didn’t you say that Faymon Group has so many capable executives?

The company surely won’t suffer in my absence.”

Rayna did not want to engage in a conversation with someone like Mathias. She might fall into his trap if

she was not being careful. “Mr. Ziegler, I’m not feeling well. I’ll leave you be and take a breather over

there.”

With that, she turned to leave.

As soon as Rayna took a step, she felt a pinprick on her shoulder.

She winced in pain and looked over her shoulder, but there was nothing.

Standing next to Rayna, Mathias grinned and spoke in a soft voice that could only be heard by the two of

them. “Ms. Garland, it’s not wise to show off your ability.”

Rubbing her shoulder, Rayna smiled back at him. “Why? Are you afraid that I’ll stop you from making a

fortune?”

“You can’t stop me even if you want to.”

Mathias edged closer to her, his kind face looking a bit menacing without the light. “Watch your back, Ms.

Garland. Otherwise, you might suffer the same fate as Julian.”

Hearing that warning, Rayna nearly exploded with fury.

She shot Mathias a death glare. To get a confession out of him, she asked, ”Do you have something to

do with Julian’s death?”

Wasn’t Chester the culprit?

Mathias straightened his back and flashed her a smile. “Did Julian give you anything?”

Without waiting for Rayna’s reply, he added, “Ms. Garland, many people will lose their lives if you find out

about something. If I could make your supervisor die quietly, I could do the same to you too.”
