Chapter 326 Despicable Man
“Stop talking! That’s enough!” Rayna clutched her heart. It’s hurting so badly. It’s as if I just got stabbed
in the heart. I can’t take it anymore… Those truths and that man’s feelings for me… He’s so foolish!
We’ve already broken up. Why did he have to do all those things? Why did he have to come and find
me?
Even though no tears were shed, she was choking up when she said, “Why did you have to come here?
Why did you have to tell me all of this? Why did you guys have to expose me to all these cruel truths on
the same day? I don’t want to know! I don’t want to know about anything!” She squatted down and
hugged her own knees. How I wish I hadn’t known Jefferson when I was studying abroad, hadn’t joined
Faymon Group after coming back to the country, hadn’t married Julian, hadn’t gotten cheated on by
Julian, and hadn’t known Curtis!
Instead of uttering another word, Jessica merely squatted down and accompanied Rayna in silence.
With her shoulders trembling, Rayna buried her head between her knees. After a long while, she raised
her gaze toward Jessica and asked spitefully and weakly at the same time, “Where is he now?”
“That’s the reason I came to look for you.” Jessica closed her eyes and said solemnly, “Cyrus gave
Jefferson a document and told Jefferson that his mother is still alive. Cyrus wants Jefferson to give up on
the Terblanc family’s inheritance. Jefferson’s mother married Kenneth, so that makes Dorothy Jefferson’s
sibling. Jefferson came to Norwal City to find Sandy, but she ended up stabbing him a dozen times.”
Upon hearing that, Rayna almost ran out of breath. While clutching Jessica’s shirt tightly, Rayna asked,
“Where did he go?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I don’t know,” Jessica answered. “He called Ringo and told him to get the police to turn a blind eye. After
that, he has been unreachable. Ringo summoned all the help he could get and searched for Jefferson for
two days. They still can’t locate him. In the end, Ringo could only ask me to look for you. He said you
would surely know.”
“So when Ringo called me that day, Jefferson had already gone to see Sandy.” Rayna’s lips trembled
when she said, “That selfish Boniel kept Sandy to himself by force. Of course, Sandy hates Jefferson.
So… S-So… Where is he now? Where could he be?”
Rayna burst into tears and grabbed Jessica’s arm tightly. “With the state of his body, where could he
have gone? Tell me…” Although Rayna was asking Jessica, she was also asking herself the same
question.
Eyes reddened, Jessica comforted Rayna by saying, “He’s going to be fine. You know how much he likes
you. Besides, he said he’s not done preparing your gift. He won’t abandon you.”
“I want to look for him. Wherever he is, I must find him!” Rayna anxiously pushed Jessica aside and
wanted to stand up. However, her legs had gone numb because she had been squatting for a long time.

Jessica wanted to hold Rayna, but the latter shoved her aside and staggered out of the hospital.
Rayna hailed a taxi and got into the car. For some reason, she was crying uncontrollably. Her tears then
dripped down and drenched the screen of her phone.
She kept calling Jefferson, but she couldn’t get through to him.
She even called Ringo, but no one picked up the phone. It was also possible that Ringo just didn’t want
to answer her phone call.
When she arrived outside Jefferson’s office, Rayna rushed out of the car and ran inside. She recklessly
bumped into a few people along the way and got coffee spilled on her body.
In tears, she arrived at the reception and asked, “Your CEO… I-Is Jefferson here?”
The receptionist jumped in alarm and stammered, “M-Mr. Hamilton hasn’t been here for a long time, but
the vice CEO is here. Do you want me to make an appointment for you?”
He’s not here. That’s right. Why would he be here? Rayna dashed out of the building and got back into
the taxi again. She racked her brain to figure out where Jefferson had visited upon arriving in Norwal
City. She then told the taxi driver to drive to wherever she thought Jefferson could be.
Rayna searched for him till night fell. By then, she had cried out all her tears, and her feet were bleeding
due to the friction with her high heels. Where is he? With the state he’s in, where could he have gone?
Rayna gazed at the surrounding high-rise buildings in a daze. There was a lot of traffic, and all passers-
by seemed to be in a hurry. Some of them were smiling, while some looked sad. Yet, she didn’t see the
person she was looking for.
As she stood there, she swept a glance at her surroundings. Soon, the noises she heard gradually toned
down. In the end, she heard nothing but silence.
Right then, she managed to calm herself down. What’s Jefferson’s brother’s name again? Is it Cyrus
Terblanc? Did he find out that Sandy had escaped from the fire and was rescued by Kenneth? Did he
know Jefferson and Dorothy are siblings? Is that why he sent Dorothy to Jefferson? Is he looking forward
to watching the siblings kill each other? Since he’s so well-informed, does he know that Sandy has a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfamily of her own? Does he know Curtis is Sandy’s son? Does he know that?
Countless questions were surfacing in Rayna’s mind. That man, Cyrus Terblanc, he’s frightening. That
man is a devil! He likes to scheme against others. Surely, he knows about everything. He hates
Jefferson, but he refuses to end Jefferson’s life. Instead, he told Jefferson the truth bit by bit and tortured
Jefferson to death!
All of a sudden, a man popped up in Rayna’s head. That blue-eyed blonde man with an impeccable
smile and haughty gaze. On the day of the tender, that man, Arnaud, suddenly came to flirt with me in
fluent Chanaean. When I was leaving, he told me he had a present for me. What present? Wait! I
remember something! After I left the tender event, I found out Mom had fallen down, so I went to the
library to check the surveillance footage. At that time, someone logged in to my WhatsApp. Soon after
that, something happened to Curtis at the club. Curtis told me he came to me after receiving my text.
Stephanie said Jefferson told her to do that, but Jefferson wouldn’t do something like that. Could it be?
Could that be Arnaud’s present to me?
After Rayna cleared the doubts in her mind and connected the dots, a realization dawned upon her, and
she was flabbergasted. So Arnaud, the man who spoke fluent Chanaean is actually Jefferson’s brother,
Cyrus Terblanc! He arrived in Norwal City a long time ago, and he deliberately went to the tender event
to talk to me. After saying what he had to say, he just sat back and enjoyed the show. Who is the show
for, though?
The scene of Curtis dismantling the surveillance cameras came to Rayna’s mind. She was breathing
heavily and clenching her fists so hard that she dug her nails into her palms. Even so, she didn’t feel any
pain. The show was for Jefferson. I’m going to kill Cyrus! That man is despicable, wicked, and vicious!
