Chapter 232 The Lifestyle Of The Rich
A glint flashed across Rayna’s eyes.
As an avid news reader, she knew about Sanders Group. She was also aware of how Jasmine had
climbed the company’s corporate ladder and become one of the higher-ups. She must have some tricks
up her sleeves.
Jasmine would do anything to achieve her goals. This included faking a marriage with Curtis.
“Being ambitious is not necessarily bad.” Rayna might not have spent much time with Carl, but she liked
that child whose eyes sparkled like stars in the sky. “There might have been some bad blood between
you and Mrs. Xavier, but please don’t drag a child into your revenge. It’s not worth it.”
Jasmine’s eyes darkened. She tilted her head and looked at Rayna.
Rayna could tell Jasmine was staring at her even though she did not turn around to look at her. After
pressing her lips, she said, “When Carl lent me his mountain bike during an emergency, I immediately
realized he bore an uncanny resemblance to someone I know.”
“You…” Jasmine started breathing heavily. She was surprised to learn that Carl and Rayna knew each
other. This wouldn’t have happened if Carl had worn a mask properly when he stepped out of the house.
Rayna responded with a grin. “This secret is safe with us. Don’t worry. I didn’t tell anyone, including Mr.
Xavier.”
Jasmine heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you.”
“I’m merely keeping my promise.” Before ending the topic, Rayna could not help but continue, “Carl
would always tell me he missed his dad, and he looked forward to seeing his dad during Christmas.
Though your marriage with Curtis is fake, he was upset when he read the news.”
“Yeah. He’s been ignoring me for the past couple of days.” Jasmine sounded exhausted. She massaged
her forehead and said, “I must get my hands on the shares in Sanders Group. Mr. Faymon is my only
hope.
“Mr. Faymon told me to meet him upstairs because he wanted to talk to me about the incident between
you and Stephanie in the café. There was no way to stop the news from spreading since Stephanie
played the sympathy card, not to mention there were witnesses outside the premises.

“Stephanie’s aunt owns a factory and happens to be one of Sanders Group’s suppliers. There were
some problems with the factory, so I handed the document to Mr. Faymon and struck a deal with him. In
return, he gave me some money. That’s all.”
Rayna was relieved upon hearing the explanation, but at the same time, she was also overwhelmed by
mixed feelings. So this is what it’s all about, huh? But why did they have to bring the discussion upstairs?
They could have just discussed it in the living room. They can’t blame me for being suspicious since they
were sneaking around.
Jasmine quipped, “Mr. Faymon may appear to be heartless, but he’s done a lot for you, Ms. Garland.”
“You’re reading too much into it, Ms. Sanders.” Rayna composed herself and tried to speak casually.
“Perhaps Mr. Faymon was willing to help me because I used to work for Faymon Group.”
“If that’s the case, I suppose Mr. Faymon must be very busy since he has to help so many employees in
Faymon Group,” Jasmine teased.
Her remark rendered Rayna speechless.
Rayna ignored her joke. When they reached Jasmine’s neighborhood, she said, “We’ve arrived, Ms.
Sanders. I hope you can tell Mr. Xavier personally about Carl someday.”
Jasmine bobbed her head and responded with a faint smile. “Take care, Ms. Garland.”
It was already ten by the time Rayna arrived at her condominium. Many things had happened today, but
she was in a good mood.
After entering her room, she glanced around and noticed something white and fluffy lying on top of the
diamond castle. She took a closer look and realized it was the Ragdoll kitten.
The kitten opened its eyes and meowed languidly.
“Of all the places, you chose the most expensive place to sit on.” Rayna went up and stroked its fur.
She had wanted to return the kitten to Curtis because rearing a pet would take up too much of her time.
But now, the kitten had become a big part of her life.
Right then, her phone vibrated. It was a WhatsApp message from Curtis: Are you home?
Rayna rested her chin on her hands and could not stop smiling.
Curtis did not talk much to Rayna after adding her number. Even their first conversation on WhatsApp
began with him asking her to pay for the stained carpet. Now he had learned to care about her.
Sometimes, he would even play pranks on her. How did all this happen?
Rayna replied: Yes. Five minutes ago.
After mulling over it for a while, she snapped a photo of the Ragdoll kitten lying on the diamond castle
and sent it to him.
Curtis responded immediately: The diamond castle is worth much more than the kitten. Does it not feel
uncomfortable, though?
Rayna texted back: Maybe it likes to feel rich.
Curtis was bereft of words upon reading that.
The thought of the man’s speechless look put a smile on Rayna’s face. After picking up her nightgown,
she went to the bathroom to take a bath.
After a long day, she could finally sleep like a baby and have a nice dream.
The next day, when Rayna was about to step out of the room, she noticed the usually spacious living
room looked congested. The aroma of food wafted through the air as about five well-dressed chefs were
busy preparing food by the bar.
“Pardon us for the intrusion,” one of the chefs apologized.
Rayna thought she was still dreaming. After closing the door, she patted her face to wake herself up.
Besides feeling a tingling numbness on her cheeks, she still heard sounds from the living room.
She opened the door once again and saw Wyatt standing outside and waving at her.
He gave her a cheerful grin and said, “Good morning, Darling! I brought a group of chefs from a five-star
hotel over to prepare breakfast for you guys. It’s a pleasant surprise, isn’t it?”
Rayna did not know what else to say. So it’s not a dream. It’s happening right outside my living room.
“Is this what rich people do all the time?” she questioned.
Wyatt shook his head. “Rich people have stay-in cooks to take care of their meals. You can’t hire a
personal cook because this condo has limited space. Would you like to move into a bigger unit?”
His explanation rendered her speechless.
The moment Rayna sat down by the Epean bar counter, someone walked out of the kitchen and handed
her the menu. She flipped through the pages and noticed a few dishes were labeled “to arrive in air
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfreight in an hour.”
She could not help but exclaim inwardly. So this is the lifestyle of the rich!
Half an hour later, Jessica, too, came out of her bedroom.
Wyatt ran to Jessica, embraced her, and gave her a peck. “Good morning, Jessie. I invited the chefs
from your favorite restaurant over. What would you like to eat for breakfast?”
“Hey, stop behaving like a Husky.” Jessica patted his shoulders and pushed him away. “You stink.”
“I rinsed my mouth this morning.”
“You must have smoked. Your body reeks of tobacco!”
“I’ll rinse my mouth again.” Instead of refuting, Wyatt went to Jessica’s room to rinse his mouth.
Rayna could not believe her eyes. When Jessica came toward her, she asked, “You two have gotten
back together?”
“He’s so clingy that I can’t turn him down.” The awkwardness was written all over her face. “His parents
have just returned from Epea, and he wants to take me back for dinner.”
A corner of Rayna’s lips quirked up. “You guys have just broken up not long ago, and now you’re back
together. Is this relationship a child’s play to you?”
Jessica responded, “Well, he has taken care of those videos. He’s also a well-behaved boyfriend who
doesn’t drive me mad.”
Rayna felt like crying all of a sudden. This is too much! Why do I have to stand here and listen to her
complimenting her boyfriend?
Meanwhile, Wyatt came out of the room after rinsing his mouth and clung to Jessica. He even told her he
could bring the chefs to Faymon Group to prepare lunch for her.
Rayna stormed out of the condominium and left for the office, as she could no longer stand the lovey-
dovey couple.
She logged in to Twitter and realized the café incident involving her and Stephanie had become a
trending topic. Nevertheless, she had secretly recorded the heated argument and handed the recording
to the cops. When the recording was released publicly, all the netizens started lambasting Stephanie,
calling her a scheming b*tch who had gotten a taste of her own medicine. A few tried to ruin Rayna’s
reputation but were criticized by the other netizens.
