Chapter 742 Pet Store Suspect
Yuna's answer stunned Rayna for a moment. Cassidy's afraid of these small, curry creatures, so why would she
bring them away by herself?
“Did Cassidy take them away herself?” Rayna asked.
In response, Yuna shook her head. “A pretty lady accompanied Ms. Cassidy upstairs and grabbed two of them.”
Pretty lady? Perplexed, Robin asked, “Those two don't let strangers touch them easily, though.”
“Then we don't know.” Yuna tugged Yasmin's shirt and explained, “They were obedient in the pretty lady's arms.”
“In that case, whoever took them away was someone they were familiar with,” speculated Rayna before she turned
to Robin. “Who else could've interacted with them aside from us?”
When Robin saw the sharp look in her eyes, he licked his dry lips and said, “Mrs. Faymon, you're saying...”
“You know what I mean,” she uttered. I know that after Curtis entrusted those two to Robin's care, Robin took them
to the girl who helped wash them in the past.
In response, he defended, “No, that can't be it. She won't—”
“Perhaps this was part of her plan all along. That day, in the hotel, no one could leave the building due to the heavy
rain. Yet, somehow, she coincidentally showed up in the hotel, even though she worked in the pet store. Have you
thought about how odd that was?” From the very beginning, Rayna had been suspicious of that woman.
However, back then, she didn't overtly express her doubt.
“Those two have mostly been in your care, so tell me, where have you been purchasing their food and other items
from, hmm?” Rayna questioned further. So far, during their stay at Jayfort, Curtis had mostly let Robin do what he
wanted instead of dictating what he should do.
“I bought them from Milly's shop, but she won't—” Before Robin could finish his sentence, Rayna interrupted his
defense.
With a serious tone, she reminded him, “You should know by now never to judge a book by its cover, Robin. Maybe
she seems nice when interacting with you, but you can't deny the possibility that she's working for someone. I'm
telling you now that I'll be verifying this matter with Curtis because I hope you won't intervene.” I can tell he likes
the woman in the pet store. It's not that I don't trust him. It's just that when emotions are involved, it can be
challenging to do the rational thing.
“Are you... doubting me, Mrs. Faymon?” Robin questioned with dissatisfaction.

“I'm not. I'm merely reminding you.” Rayna turned to Yuna and Yasmin. “You two should head upstairs first.”
The children nodded before ascending the staircase.
Moments later, Curtis, who had overheard the conversation, entered the living room and approached Robin when
he saw the latter frowning at Rayna. “She doesn't mean anything else by that, Robin. You don't need to overthink it.
Also, her reasoning isn't unsound. You did bring those two to the pet store for a bath, so it's safe to assume they let
the woman bring them away because they were already familiar with her.”
“But Milly's just an ordinary woman. She won't...” Robin uttered softly. “I'm not lying to you both, Mr. Faymon. She'll
never do that.”
After listening to what he said, Rayna shot a tacit look at Curtis. “I'm going to the bedroom to rest for a while.”
With that, she left the living room.
Once Rayna was out of Curtis' sight, he glowered at Robin. “It seems like I've been too lenient with you recently.”
In response to Curtis' admonishment, Robin lowered his head in silence.
“How dare you talk back to my wife?” Coldly, Curtis swept his gaze past Robin. “I'll send someone to investigate
who the woman in the pet store is and her background. If Rayna is correct in her assumption, I expect you to
apologize to her. However, if that woman is innocent, I'll apologize to you on behalf of Rayna.”
Upon ending his sentence, he returned to the kitchen.
Robin was rooted to his spot and gulped anxiously. First, he glanced at the kitchen. Then, he peered at the staircase.
Once the coast was clear, he sighed. I know I've gotten a little too emotional earlier. However, now that I've pissed
both Mr. and Mrs. Faymon off, how am I supposed to ease the tension between us?
Instead of returning to her room, Rayna went to Robin's room after she reached the second floor.
Seeing that the door wasn't locked, she pushed it open and entered the room. The first thing she saw was the cage.
She ambled toward it and examined its surrounding, but she found nothing notable. Just as she was about to leave,
she accidentally stepped on something.
She picked the object up and realized it was a small tablet.
Just as she wondered what it was, Robin returned to his room. In response, she handed the tablet to him. “Is this
medicine yours?”
He glanced at it and shook his head. “No.”
“The animals', then?”
“No. Their deworming was conducted in the pet store. I didn't buy any medicine for them.” He grabbed the tablet
and examined it. “Although, this one does look like the deworming medicine there.”
Just as he finished his sentence, he turned the tablet around and froze when he saw the words inscribed on the
surface.
Upon noticing his odd reaction, she peered at the tablet in his hand. “You've seen this before?”
As much as Robin wanted to deny it, he spilled the beans when he met the sharp look in Rayna's eyes. “Yes, this is
the brand of deworming medicine that the pet store has.”
She raised her eyebrow. “Considering I found that tablet here, it does mean the animals were taken away by
someone working in the pet store, which I still think is Milly.”
Robin's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, making him look like a child who did something wrong.
Meanwhile, when Curtis went upstairs, he checked the bedroom, thinking Rayna was resting there already.
However, when he saw she wasn't inside, he hurriedly searched for her before finding her in Robin's room. With a
grim expression, he strode into the room.
The moment Robin saw Curtis, he automatically stepped to the side, increasing the distance between him and
Rayna.
“Why are you here? I thought you wanted to rest?” inquired Curtis in a deep voice.
“I thought the culprit might have left something behind, so I came to check. I was right.” Peering at the tablet in
Robin's hand, she continued, “It's the deworming medicine from the pet store.”
When Curtis saw the white tablet in Robin's palm, he questioned, “Are you sure?”
“I'm certain, but I don't know for sure if it's that girl. In any case, it would seem Mr. Zeller bought many people in
the area off.”
“I'll handle this matter. You don't need to care about this.” Curtis didn't want Rayna to pay too much attention to
matters she shouldn't worry about. “You haven't taken today's medicine yet. I've just prepared it, so don't forget to
consume it after dinner.”
“The medicine Cassidy prepared...” Instead of completing her sentence, she looked at Curtis.
“I don't think she'll hurt you,” he assured calmly. “While the medicinal herbs in the warehouse may be dangerous,
the examination report indicated that their consumption in controlled volume won't cause any harm. Besides,
Cassidy didn't use the medicinal herbs from the warehouse in the medicine she prepared.”
In response, she nodded. “Have you checked the medicinal herbs in the dispensary yet?”

“No.”
“You should ask someone to grab some samples for analysis later.” While Rayna believed Cassidy wouldn't let
anyone consume those unsafe medicinal herbs, she was confident the latter had a reason for keeping them.
Upon noticing his odd reoction, she peered ot the toblet in his hond. “You've seen this before?”
As much os Robin wonted to deny it, he spilled the beons when he met the shorp look in Royno's eyes. “Yes, this is
the brond of deworming medicine thot the pet store hos.”
She roised her eyebrow. “Considering I found thot toblet here, it does meon the onimols were token owoy by
someone working in the pet store, which I still think is Milly.”
Robin's cheeks flushed with emborrossment, moking him look like o child who did something wrong.
Meonwhile, when Curtis went upstoirs, he checked the bedroom, thinking Royno wos resting there olreody.
However, when he sow she wosn't inside, he hurriedly seorched for her before finding her in Robin's room. With o
grim expression, he strode into the room.
The moment Robin sow Curtis, he outomoticolly stepped to the side, increosing the distonce between him ond
Royno.
“Why ore you here? I thought you wonted to rest?” inquired Curtis in o deep voice.
“I thought the culprit might hove left something behind, so I come to check. I wos right.” Peering ot the toblet in
Robin's hond, she continued, “It's the deworming medicine from the pet store.”
When Curtis sow the white toblet in Robin's polm, he questioned, “Are you sure?”
“I'm certoin, but I don't know for sure if it's thot girl. In ony cose, it would seem Mr. Zeller bought mony people in
the oreo off.”
“I'll hondle this motter. You don't need to core obout this.” Curtis didn't wont Royno to poy too much ottention to
motters she shouldn't worry obout. “You hoven't token todoy's medicine yet. I've just prepored it, so don't forget to
consume it ofter dinner.”
“The medicine Cossidy prepored...” Insteod of completing her sentence, she looked ot Curtis.
“I don't think she'll hurt you,” he ossured colmly. “While the medicinol herbs in the worehouse moy be dongerous,
the exominotion report indicoted thot their consumption in controlled volume won't couse ony horm. Besides,
Cossidy didn't use the medicinol herbs from the worehouse in the medicine she prepored.”
In response, she nodded. “Hove you checked the medicinol herbs in the dispensory yet?”
“No.”
“You should osk someone to grob some somples for onolysis loter.” While Royno believed Cossidy wouldn't let
onyone consume those unsofe medicinol herbs, she wos confident the lotter hod o reoson for keeping them.
