Chapter 93 She Is Mine

In the end, Rayna and Jessica had to move the castle into Rayna’s bedroom together.

Rayna diverted her attention so she wouldn’t keep looking at the sparkling castle. Nevertheless, when

she stepped out of the shower, she couldn’t stop herself from staring at it. In fact, she had the urge to

touch it.

It’s just a diamond castle that I’ve seen before previously. Why am I so excited? But…

Rayna rolled over in bed to look at the diamond castle. The only source of light came through the gap

from the window, but the castle was glittering brightly in the dark as though it could suck one’s soul in.

Oh, it’s gorgeous.

The business trip lasted for a few weeks, but Rayna quickly got over jet lag back home. She woke up

early in the morning to prepare breakfast and lunch. After having breakfast, she went to the subway

station together with Jessica to head to work.

“Oh, I’m sleepy.” Jessica kept yawning as she stayed up late last night to watch a drama. However, that

didn’t stop her from scrolling on her phone.

Rayna was impressed.

“Nana, quick! Retweet this!” Suddenly, Jessica perked up and showed her phone to Rayna. “BC just

released a new car model and has organized a giveaway. The prize is a car!”

Rayna took one look at it and snorted. “There’s nothing worth retweeting. If the prize is that attractive,

they will give it to someone internally instead of nobodies like us.”

“Oh, just retweet it to lower their chances.” Jessica took Rayna’s phone and reposted it on her behalf. “I

heard that BC is quite generous. Someone won a car a while ago.”

After retweeting the giveaway tweet on Twitter, Jessica returned Rayna’s phone to her gleefully. “Let’s

wait for the announcement of the winner three days later!”

“You have nothing better to do, huh?”

They arrived at the company and went on their separate ways at the elevator. Rayna entered the

translation department.

After a few weeks of not coming to work, Rayna couldn’t recognize her office as the change was pretty

drastic. She glanced around and realized that there were some items that didn’t belong to her on her

desk.

At the same time, Edith showed up in a tight-fitting red dress with a smug grin plastered on her lips.

“Edith, did you move my desk after changing the layout of the office?” Rayna raised her voice and

flashed a cold smile. I went on an outstation trip with Mr. Faymon, but I haven’t resigned yet.”

Unfazed, Edith told her condescendingly, “Oh, I was afraid you might be busy and didn’t tell you we hired

a few employees. There is a change of desks. Your desk is right there.”

She pointed at a desk, which was underneath the air conditioner and right in front of the windows.

Rayna’s gaze turned dark. Why? She’s sidelining me blatantly, huh?

“Edith, you’re nice enough to get me a desk that is warm in winter and cool in summer.” Rayna quickly

shot her a smile. “Thank you, Edith.”

Her smile caused Edith’s heart to sink in fear. However, the latter quickly recalled that she would be

taking over the supervisor’s position officially a few days later. Why would I be afraid of Rayna? She’ll be

my subordinate soon.

Regaining her confidence, Edith stood straight and declared, “Of course, I won’t treat my subordinates

badly. Now that you’re back, you have to get back to work. Chloe, hand over the work I assigned you

earlier to Rayna.”

The person replied in the affirmative.

Rayna didn’t object. Her lips curled slightly as she said, “Okay.”

As Rayna went to her new desk calmly, Edith observed her for a while before returning to her office.

A while later, the colleague, Chloe Frost, came to Rayna’s desk with a stack of documents. The dozens

of files looked like backlogs piled up for a month.

“Rayna, Edith wants these completed by next week,” Chloe told her. She picked two documents out and

added, “These two are more urgent. She needs them by tomorrow.”

Glancing at the glass door, Chloe lowered her voice to say, “Rayna, just endure it. She will definitely get

the position. Don’t go against her, as she’s a vengeful person.”

“I know. Thank you.” Rayna offered her colleague a warm smile for the kind reminder.

However, she wasn’t about to swallow her frustrations.

It was obvious Edith wanted to make things difficult for her. The documents that needed her attention

weren’t processed before, so she had to sort out and add remarks for each term.

Rayna remained calm and completed two documents efficiently.

By then, it was already half-past eleven.

Assuming James had finished class, Rayna pulled her phone out to text him: James, can you use your

phone now? I need your help to check something.

James’ school was strict, so he rarely got to touch his phone. Rayna usually had to wait for a long time

before she received a reply. To her surprise, she came back from heating her meal to receive a reply

from James.

James: Sure. My teacher gave us the entire afternoon off.

Hmm, his teacher is quite reasonable.

That was what Rayna thought. She had no idea James went to Tyrandas, too. He came back ahead of

her and resigned from his bodyguard job but had yet to return to campus.

She sent the name of the restaurant, hotel, time, and Edith’s name to James so he could hack into the

hotel’s security system and surveillance cameras to get something.

James: Rayna, did you get bullied?

Rayna chuckled. He’s quite astute, huh?

She replied: Yes. That’s why I need your help to investigate her so I can teach her a lesson.

James: I’ll revert back to you half an hour later.

Rayna was surprised to learn that he could do that in half an hour. She knew James majored in science

and was a computer expert. That was why she asked for his help. It’s quite difficult to hack into a hotel’s

security system, though. Can he do it in half an hour?

She got her heated meal from the pantry and returned to the office to see two police officers talking to a

colleague.

The colleague spotted Rayna and parted her lips to tell the police officers something. She also pointed at

Rayna.

The latter frowned, but the police officers were making their way over to her. After showing his ID and the

warrant, one of them said calmly, “Ms. Garland, you are under suspicion of being involved in a murder

case. Please come with us to assist in the investigation.”

Rayna asked, “Who did I murder?”

“Your department’s supervisor, Mr. Jonathan Lawson.”

“Mr. Lawson died from a heart attack. That has nothing to do with me.” Rayna’s frown deepened.

That happened a few weeks ago. Why are the police here for me?

“We can talk about that back at the police station.” As Rayna wasn’t about to cooperate, the police

officers pulled out their handcuffs to arrest her.

The other colleagues in the translation department gathered to watch the commotion.

Rayna didn’t want to blow things up and affect the company’s reputation. After all, they only wanted to

bring her back to the police station.

She stretched her hands out willingly.

The police officer was about to cuff her when an angry voice rang out. “Do you have the right to take

away my employee at your will?”

It was Curtis, who strode into the office with a grim expression. His long legs looked especially slender in

the gray slacks he was wearing. After entering the office, he gazed at the police officers.

Naomi was right beside him, looking just as intimidating as him.

“It’s you, Mr. Faymon.” The police officer who was about to cuff Rayna shot Curtis a nod. “We were

informed by our superior that Ms. Garland is a suspect in a murder case. We’d like to bring her back to

the police station to question her.”

“I know whether or not my employee has broken the law,” came Curtis’ answer. “She was with me at

Grasim Hotel to discuss a collaboration the day Mr. Lawson died. I can be her witness.”

The police officers froze when they sensed the overwhelming pressure from Curtis.

“Mr. Faymon, even if Ms. Garland has an alibi, that doesn’t prove anything…”

Curtis grew impatient and glanced at his secretary.

Naomi promptly took one step forward and said politely, “Officers, Mr. Lawson died from a heart attack. It

happened half a month ago, and the hospital should be able to provide a diagnosis report. If his death

was related to Ms. Garland, you should’ve come to her right after Mr. Lawson died. Mr. Lawson has been

buried as of now. His wife knows the reason he had a heart attack was that he often stayed up late. She

had already accepted the fact. You shouldn’t tire yourselves by opening the case again.”

The police officers were rendered speechless by her sharp retort.
