Chapter 249 Wealthy Sister In Law
This man had never been in the kitchen before, yet the first meal he cooked was so successful! It’s
infuriating!
Curtis handed Rayna a fork and said proudly, “There’s nothing I can’t do as long as I put my heart into it.”
Rayna was speechless. What a shameless man!
She picked a piece of delicious-looking sweet and sour pork and ate it. Not even two seconds later, she
couldn’t control her expression because of the sourness and spat out the meat. “Why is it so sour?”
“There are pineapples inside. Isn’t it normal for it to be sour?” Curtis replied. “It’ll be more abnormal if it’s
sweet.”
“Fine, you win.” Rayna was too lazy to argue with him. She moved on to taste another dish, which was a
plate of scrambled eggs mixed with some bitter melon. After taking a bite, she spat out the food with a
bitter expression and complained, “Why is it so bitter?”
“It’s called a bitter melon for a reason, right?”
Rayna had no retort left. She didn’t dare taste another dish and scooped two spoonfuls of fish soup while
trembling. After taking a sip, her expression stiffened as she swallowed the soup with difficulty. She
asked, “Why did you add so much sugar to the soup?”
Curtis’ expression changed subtly as he answered, “I thought I added salt.”
“You—” Rayna was so close to cussing him out, but she held back the urge and just gritted her teeth.
“Even if it was salt, are you trying to kill me by adding so much?”
“Is three teaspoons too much?”
Rayna almost banged her head on the table out of defeat. After a few seconds, she spoke. “Mr. Faymon,
promise me you won’t cook again, all right? Just order some food if you’re hungry.”
“I followed the recipe. My cooking should be all right.” Curtis was still feeling proud of himself. Yet, the
look on his face became even weirder when he tasted a piece of the pork he made. Reluctantly, he
swallowed the meat and said, “Let’s order some food.”
It was so sour that it felt like his teeth were about to fall out.
“We shouldn’t order anything else! Finish the food!” Rayna snapped and rolled her eyes at him. “Pork is

expensive nowadays. It’s wasteful to throw it away! We can still eat it since it’s not burned.”
“I don’t lack the money to buy more pork—”
“Being wasteful is shameful!” She interrupted him by stuffing a piece of pork into his mouth. In a
threatening tone, she continued, “I will place a hundred rats in your house if you don’t finish all this food!”
Curtis remained silent and watched her eat the food quietly, even though the food was too sour for her
liking. Warmth filled his heart. I will gladly give her the moon if she were to ask for it right now. She’s too
cute.
The pork and fish soup were still bearable to Rayna. However, the scrambled eggs were too bitter. Thus,
she let Curtis finish it. It was the first time in her life that she felt miserable while eating.
Rayna sent a text to Kristie: My dear sister, you’re so blessed. I’m jealous of you.
Kristie replied: Oh my goodness! What did you just call me, Rayna? Please repeat it!
Rayna: My dear sister.
Kristie instantly transferred two hundred thousand to Rayna.
Kristie: I’ll definitely treat James well! Don’t worry, Rayna!
Rayna: This money…
Kristie: Is it not enough?
Just when Rayna wanted to tell Kristie it was more than enough, the latter transferred another two
hundred thousand to her. Additionally, the latter sent her a few pictures of luxury bags released in the fall
season. Next, the latter asked about her preference or if she wanted them all.
Seeing that, Rayna deleted the reply she was planning to send and quietly received the four hundred
thousand transferred to her by Kristie.
After that, Rayna replied: If that brat doesn’t treat you well, just let me know! I’ll punish him for you!
Kristie: Kisses! You’re the best, Rayna! I love you the most!
Ah, I guess it’s pretty great to have a wealthy sister-in-law.
“What a genius she is. She’s using my money to make you happy,” Curtis uttered coldly before sitting
down next to Rayna.
“Where are your manners, Mr. Faymon?” Rayna covered her phone screen immediately and glared at
him. “How dare you peek at my phone! You’ve violated my privacy rights!”
“Anyone can see your phone because you were holding it so high up.”
Rayna had no words of retort. With a frustrated expression, she kicked him lightly. “Go sit over there.”
However, Curtis then noticed her red and swollen ankle. Narrowing his eyes, he grabbed her leg. It
seems like she sprained her ankle. It’s all swollen. ”What happened? Why didn’t you tell me about it?”
“I-I’m fine.” A hint of scarlet crept onto Rayna’s cheeks. She wanted to pull her feet away from him, but
he placed her leg on his thighs and massaged it gently.
After a short while, he asked, “Does it still hurt?”
Rayna shook her head in response.
“This won’t do. Let’s go to the hospital.” He was worried after seeing how swollen her ankle was.
“I don’t want to. It’s just a sprain, and it doesn’t hurt much.” She strongly refused. What if he brings me to
visit the obstetrics and gynecology department again? That would be so embarrassing!
She then kicked him again and exclaimed, “It’s all your fault! I told you that the space was too small, but
you were still so fierce, causing me to fall from the couch and twist my ankle…”
At the thought of those sexual memories, she found herself unable to continue speaking about them.
Therefore, she lowered her head to avoid eye contact with him.
It didn’t take Curtis long to understand her words. He could not contain his laughter and was kicked by
Rayna again. Later, he went to get the first-aid kit and applied some anti-inflammatory ointment on her
ankle.
While he was applying the ointment, Rayna asked worriedly, “Regarding the mini surveillance camera… I
won’t go viral because of the footage, right?”
“You won’t. Faymon Group controls the stock market of the famous websites in our country,” answered
Curtis. “The signal at the club was cut off by Wyatt, so nothing was uploaded to the internet.”
Rayna sneered. “He can’t even protect his own privacy. How can he manage someone else’s?” With
that, she tossed a pillow at Curtis. “I’m so annoyed by your mere presence!”
The pillow bounced off him harmlessly. “You can hit me if that makes you feel better.”
Irritated, Rayna kept hitting him with the pillow.
Sometime later, Curtis remained unfazed while she was feeling sore and tired. As she lay down, he
handed her a cup of coffee, bothering her further.
After goofing around, Rayna began to discuss serious matters with Curtis. “I’ve applied for a long leave
with Mr. Chambers.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Why?”
“Curtis, please hire me again at Faymon Group,” Rayna requested as an icy glint flashed across her
eyes. “Mr. Ziegler has taken action on my mom. I can’t just let it slide.”
Hearing that, Curtis responded with a darkened expression, “I’ve had my eyes on Mathias for a long
time. However, he’s extremely smart, and we’ve only ever caught his scapegoats. He changed his
nationality a long time ago, and he also has a strong network of connections. If we capture him without
having any evidence, he will simply drag people he knows into the matter. It would be unhelpful to us.”
“Even the most secure program has its flaws, let alone him,” Rayna said. “Besides, I’m not alone. James
and Wyatt would help me.”
With that, she turned to Curtis and asked suspiciously, “Do you think all your subordinates are useless?”
Curtis was rendered speechless by her accusation.
Seeing how Curtis remained quiet, Rayna continued mocking him. He rubbed his temples helplessly.
After a while, he pinned her down on the couch when she was still laughing at him.
Then, he stared at her dangerously. “You seem happy, don’t you, Ms. Garland?”
“No, you’re still an impressive man, Mr. Faymon,” Rayna complimented him against her conscience.
“Look. There isn’t any other company in the country that can compare against Faymon Group, right? It’s
because Faymon Group has the most talented people!”
“Are you saying I’m not good enough?”
“You are great!”
Hearing that, Curtis looked at Rayna with a meaningful expression. Rayna was utterly clueless at first,
but her face reddened completely when she realized what he was insinuating. “You’re too much, you old
pervert!”
Curtis pulled her into his embrace and carried her upstairs.
“What are you doing?” Rayna asked cautiously. “Our discussion is over. I want to go home!”
“I’m carrying you upstairs to have a nap.”
“I’ll do so when I get home. Put me down!” She struggled in his arms with all her might. “I don’t want to
sleep at your house!”
“Didn’t you just call me an old pervert? I won’t be living up to my title if I don’t do something.”
“I was wrong, Uncle Curtis.”
