His Precious Love

Chapter 656

“It's just something to make sure you obey me. Don't worry. It won't kill you!” After returning to the car and opening

the car door, Thibault added, “Remember what you said today. If you dare harm Rayna again, I'll be force-feeding

you something else.”

With that, Thibault got into the car and sped off.

Standing by the street, Adrienne balled her fingers into fists as she watched the car leave her in the dust.

...

When Rayna arrived at Faymon Group together with Curtis, Tilly was waiting outside the latter's office with a thick

stack of documents in hand.

Surprised by Rayna's presence, Tilly attempted to hide the documents behind her until Curtis gestured that it wasn't

necessary.

Robin, who was in the office first thing in the morning, was briefly stunned to see that Curtis had come in with

Rayna.

If I remember correctly, Mr. Faymon wants to discuss the Yartran real estate development today. Is it all right for

Rayna to be here?

As Curtis led Rayna into the office, Tilly followed closely behind.

After settling Rayna down on the couch, Curtis walked right to his desk where Tilly subsequently placed the stack of

documents on. Just as she was about to speak, she held her tongue the moment her gaze fell upon Rayna.

Noticing her hesitance, Curtis signaled for her to continue.

“Mr. Faymon, this is the information provided by our colleagues in Yartran. They reported that there are no

fundamental problems with our real estate development there after surveying the site in the morning. Other than

man-made reasons for the collapse, our contacts in Yartran never mentioned that the land had been separately

developed before and that the ground below was mostly hollow.”

While flipping through the documents, Curtis froze when he heard the report. He then looked up at Tilly and asked,

“Who is the head of the geological survey team at our end?”

“It's Andre Galvao,” Tilly replied. “I have already checked with him, and he said that they didn't notice anything

amiss during their survey. He even claimed that it was impossible for the ground to be hollow. More importantly, we

only discovered this after repeated checks on the site.”

Pointing at the document opened in Curtis' hand, Tilly added, “Here. Although it looks the same as the blueprints we

initially received, it is actually different.”

With his gaze trailing Tilly's finger, Curtis began to compare the differences between the two blueprints. Finally, he

realized one of them showed a larger area underneath the sunlight.

“This blueprint was provided by our contact in Yartran.” Tilly continued, “The person who drew the design was the

royal designer of Yartran, Gordon Wolk. While this one was produced via a collaboration between our designer and

Gordon. I have clarified the matter with our chief designer, Greta, and she has confirmed that the blueprint back

then is the one you're holding in your left hand. As for the different blueprint that was presented, she had no

knowledge of it.”

While speaking, Tilly showed Curtis the chat on her phone to ensure that there was no miscommunication.

“Leave the blueprint with me, and have the secretarial department follow up on this matter,” Curtis instructed after

putting the blueprints away. It wasn't until Tilly had left that he got up and walked to Rayna's side.

Upon hearing his approaching footsteps, Rayna looked in the direction of the sound. “Has the blueprint been

tampered with?”

“Mmm-hmm,” Curtis grunted in reply.

“How long has it been used? Didn't the first person who received it notice that something was wrong?” Rayna

attempted to discuss the matter with Curtis. “Under different lighting conditions, the person studying it would

definitely have discovered the issue. There's either something wrong with their eyes or maybe they are not our

people.”

“Something wrong with their eyes?” Curtis honed in on a crucial point. “If that's true, how can we tell?”

“It really depends. To be honest, I'm not really sure, as I was just making a wild guess.” Mid-sentence, a thought

suddenly struck her. “What about being color blind?”

“Color blind?” Curtis was intrigued.

“That's right. If light can change the color on the blueprints, wouldn't someone who's color blind not be able to tell

the difference, unlike an ordinary person?” Rayna continued to put her theory into words. “Everything would then

make sense.”

Upon hearing her words, Curtis pressed on the intercom. “Mr. Yeast, please come into my office.”

No sooner had Curtis spoken than Robin walked through the door. “Mr. Faymon, you wanted to see me?”

“Rayna, please share with Mr. Yeast your hypothesis.” Taking a seat beside Rayna, Curtis put his arm around her

before instructing Robin, “Go to HR and investigate the engineers involved. Also, do so quietly.”

“Mmm-hmm,” Robin grunted in acknowledgment before listening to Rayna relate her suspicions to him. At the

same time, Curtis gave him specific instructions which he noted down.

After Rayna spoke for a long time, Curtis handed her a glass of water. “Take your time. There's no rush.”

She took a sip and continued to discuss the probable scenarios in her mind. Upon jotting everything down, Robin

took his leave from Curtis before leaving the office.

“You're really smart!” Curtis' eyes glistened with pride once Rayna was done.

However, she seemed nonplussed about his compliment. Instead, she put her palm over Curtis' hand and asked

curiously, “I assumed that you would have thought of it.”

From Rayna's perspective, there was no way Curtis hadn't considered the possibility.

“Are you just trying not to let me feel awkward in your office?” Rayna questioned.

Even though she had heard every word of Tilly's report, she couldn't see the expression on Curtis' face due to her

blindness. Nonetheless, she was certain that if she could think of the possibility, so could Curtis.

Before Curtis could reply, Rayna didn't see the point of harping on the topic. Instead, she flatly added, “Actually, it

wasn't necessary for you to do that. I was just angry at you for not telling me earlier about the real estate

development in Yartran. Although it does bother me that our relationship might be affected by our conflict of

interest, I'm not that unreasonable to stop my husband from making money.”

“Rayna, I admit that it's my fault for not telling you about the project in Yartran earlier, but... It never crossed my

mind that we would argue over the fact that Faymon Group has encroached on Terblanc Group's turf in Yartran.”

After brief contemplation, Curtis gradually explained, “Your concerns are also mine, as I'm equally worried that you

would be pressured in Yartran. Nonetheless, this project was an endeavor of Grandpa's much earlier, but he never

got the chance to execute it. Now the opportunity has presented itself, I feel as if I shouldn't miss it. At the very

least, I hope to complete it on his behalf while he's still alive.”
