His Precious Love

“Hey! What are you guys doing?” someone shouted angrily from the side.

The pressure on her arms and legs was gone, and she could breathe again.

Rayna gasped desperately for air as the person removed the pillow from her face and patted her on the cheek.

“Are you okay, Ms. Garland?”

After taking a moment to regain her composure, Rayna slowly opened her eyes.

The person calling out to her worriedly was the woman who had greeted her the other day.

“What happened? Who are you?”

“Someone wanted you dead, so they planted their men in the police station. After finding out about your arrest, Mr.

Hamilton got me in here so I could look after you,” the woman replied softly.

Jefferson?

Rayna lowered her head and saw eight women lying on the ground.

They had been beaten up so badly that were barely breathing.

Rayna broke into an icy-cold sneer when she looked up and saw the broken surveillance camera. “Oh, so this is why

I couldn’t request a solitary cell.”

“Are you currently experiencing any sort of discomfort, Ms. Garland?”

Rayna shook her head. “No, and it’s all thanks to you. What’s your name?”

“Emerald Clocklore.”

“Clocklore? Are you and Ringo related?” Rayna exclaimed.

“No, we’re not.”

After asking Emerald a few questions, Rayna finally understood what was going on.

Jefferson had sent Emerald over to Norwal City after recognizing Rayna. She had been working for Faymon Group in

a lower-level position.

She was the one who made the arrangements for Gerald’s car accident.

Emerald had been protecting Rayna in secret ever since she received her orders two weeks ago.

After finding out about it, Rayna didn’t get mad at all.

“While I don’t like him having people follow me around, my babies and I would’ve been dead if you hadn’t been by

my side tonight.”

Usually, Jefferson would be the first to step in to save her whenever she was in danger.

Sometimes, Rayna wondered why the two of them simply couldn’t be together even though he was such a nice

man.

After a while, some of the women were starting to regain consciousness.

Rayna glared at her and asked, “Who sent you all to kill me? How much did that person pay you all?”

“It was Mr. Cyrus,” the woman replied.

Rayna grabbed her by the chin and said with a sneer, “Do you really think I don’t know Cyrus? That guy always

resorts to dirty tricks! He would never attempt something this bold!”

“It’s up to you whether you believe it or not!” the woman replied with a frown.

Emerald yanked her out of Rayna’s hands and punched her in the face. “Tell us the truth!”

That punch was so hard that it left the woman stunned for a few seconds while blood flowed out of her nose.

After coming back to her senses, the woman screamed at the top of her lungs, “Help! Someone is trying to kill me!”

The door opened immediately, and the police officer, who had been gone for the entire night, came rushing into

the cell.

The look on his face turned gloomy when he saw what was going on. “What are you all doing?”

The woman screamed, “Get me out of here! They’re trying to kill me!”

“Oh, looks like I’ve made myself a really powerful enemy here! He got so many people involved just to get at me!”

Rayna sneered when she saw the police officer call for backup.

“Watch what you’re saying, Ms. Garland!” said the police officer.

Rayna shot him a cold glare in response. “What? I didn’t mention your name, did I? Why are you getting so

nervous?”

Realizing that Rayna was trying to trick him into spilling the beans, the police officer panicked and stopped talking

immediately.

He waited for his colleagues to arrive before escorting the women out of there, leaving Emerald and Rayna in the

same cell.

“Who else do you think could’ve done this if not Mr. Cyrus?” Emerald asked.

Rayna glanced at her tummy that had gotten slightly bigger.

Suddenly, she recalled how Emma had glared viciously at her when leaving with Selena. In fact, Emma had even

threatened to get at her.

“I think I know who it is,” Rayna replied with her lips pursed.

The date of Rayna’s trial was drawing closer, but she had yet to receive a call from her assistant.

It was possible that someone at the police station was deliberately preventing her from receiving the phone call.

Emerald told Rayna not to lose hope, as Jefferson would definitely be on his way to rescue her.

When her trial was three days away, a police officer brought a visitor over to the cell.

“Rayna Garland, you have a visitor.”

Rayna assumed it was a lawyer at first.

It wasn’t until she looked up and saw the beautiful face outside the bars that she froze in shock.

“Hello, Ms. Garland. I came here to collect something. I heard about your lawsuit, so I figured I’d drop by and pay

you a visit,” Wendella said politely, her high heels clacking loudly on the floor as she made her way over.

Rayna flashed her a polite smile in return. “It’s an honor to know a famous diplomat like you, Ms. Sainz.”

Wendella’s lips curled into a faint smile as she replied, “Oh, I’ve already resigned. As you know, I had to return to

the country because of my marriage. It’d be hardly appropriate for me to continue working overseas after getting

married.”

Rayna frowned upon hearing that.

Wendella’s smile widened when she noticed her response. She continued, “I know you’ve done a lot to help Faymon

Group in the past. I also know that you’ve been very useful to Curtis. I would like to help you in your time of need as

well.”

Rayna’s heart was aching, but she did her best to hide it. “Thank you very much, Ms. Sainz. My trial is in three days.

Could you help me contact Mr. Faymon and tell him about my situation? I would appreciate it if he could testify for

me in court.”

“He’s really busy. I haven’t been able to get through to him. Curtis told me he’d pick out a wedding ring when he

left for his business trip. It seems he really has his hands tied with work,” Wendella said with an awkward

expression.

Of course, Rayna could read between the lines and knew exactly what she was implying.

So much for coming here to collect something… I bet she came here to humiliate me on purpose! I can’t believe a

diplomat like her is resorting to such petty tricks! This is such a waste of resources that her parents have provided

her with!

Rayna flashed her a faint smile. “Oh? Are you getting married to Mr. Faymon soon? In that case, allow me to

congratulate you, Ms. Sainz. There’s no need to contact Mr. Faymon if you can’t get through to him.”

“I hear they have really strong evidence against you, Ms. Garland. You are going to lose unless you have someone

testify for you,” Wendella replied.

“Yeah, I know. The trial is still three days away, so I’m in no rush. Who knows, Mr. Faymon might just return on that

day,” Rayna said nonchalantly.

Noticing that Wendella had gone silent, Rayna continued, “After all, I am Mr. Faymon’s ex-fiancée. He had that duck

stew delivered to me because he didn’t want me to go hungry. No one expected things to turn out like this. He’ll

definitely try to help me out if he knows I’m being sued, so I have no need to worry.”

“Is that what you have in mind, Ms. Garland? Are you not afraid of getting him in trouble?” Wendella’s expression

turned gloomy.

Rayna let out a soft chuckle as she replied, “He won’t help me if he feels that way. Oh, please don’t get the wrong

idea, Ms. Sainz. There’s nothing going on between me and Mr. Faymon. I just happen to know him very well, and

he’s partially responsible for this incident.”

“Oh, I understand. You knowing him well doesn’t affect my trust in him at all.”

“That’s good to know. The last thing I’d want is for you to think that Mr. Faymon still loves me. I don’t want to ruin

your relationship like that.”

The corner of Wendella’s lips twitched slightly.

She thought she had mastered the art of dealing with people after working abroad for so many years, and yet,

Rayna had bested her with ease.

“You sure have a way with words, Ms. Garland!” Wendella said with a forced smile.

Rayna pursed her lips. “Thank you. Mr. Faymon said that too. He never dared argue with me because he knows he

can’t win. Instead, he finds other ways to bully me.”

The look on Wendella’s face was as cold as ice. “I still have some stuff to take care of. I’ll be on my way now!” she

said and stormed off immediately.

“Bye, Ms. Sainz!” Rayna called out to her from behind.
