Dear Sweetheart Chapter 25 A Good Show
Thank god I’ve never offended Uncle Curtis in any way.
Laying down on the soft bed that was extremely comfortable for sleeping, Rayna slept soundly for the
night. When she woke up, she heard vague footsteps and noises outside her room.
The show’s about to begin?
With a face full of smiles, Rayna took her time to freshen up, change into a fresh set of clothes, put on
her makeup, and put on the ring Julian gifted her before opening the door.
Julian looked anguished as he stood amongst the swarm of reporters. He did not realize Rayna was
coming out of the room as he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I understand that one should not wash one’s
dirty linens in public, but my wife has crossed the line. I’ve been struggling to make ends meet, but there
she was. Cheating on me behind my back. I suspect the child in her is not even of my bloodline!”
Julian pretended to be a pitiful man and a husband whose wife cheated on him. Meanwhile, the reporters
took their stand as they sided with Julian. Rayna just waited and watched, looking smug.
With that acting skill, it was a shame that Julian did not receive an Oscar.
The reporters then started convincing Julian to breach the door. Julian pretentiously turned them down
for a moment before he satisfied their needs. He started kicking the door, and with the help of the
reporters, the door was quickly kicked open, allowing them to swarm into the room.
After getting into the room, Julian couldn’t conceal the excitement flickering in his eyes at the sight of the
figures under the blanket.
Rayna, you’re done for!
“What do you think you’re doing, Rayna?” Julian roared as he removed the blanket, revealing two naked
people underneath the blanket. He, however, quickly found himself dumbstruck, for instead of Rayna, the
lady on the bed was Meredith!
In the meantime, the reporters tapped their fingers quickly on the shutter-release button, and the noises
slapped some senses back into Julian. Thinking that Meredith betrayed him, Julian grabbed the woman
by her hair in a manner lacking politeness or grace and slapped her.
Slap!

The heavy slap immediately woke Meredith from her sleep.
The slap stupefied Meredith. She, however, quickly snapped out of it after realizing the crowd
surrounding her and the angry Julian standing beside the bed. What mattered the most was that both
Meredith and Dylan were in bed naked.
“Ah!” Meredith shrieked and hurriedly wrapped the blanket around herself. “What is this? Why am I with
him in bed? That shouldn’t have been me!”
“If not you, then who? Do you think we’re blind?” Julian viciously said, “You’ve done well, Meredith
Jones. You told me there were some family matters you had to deal with and asked me to wait in the
hotel last night, but here you are, cheating on me with another man?”
With a horrified look, Meredith exclaimed, “Since when did I say something like that? Also, aren’t you the
one who sent me a message? I thought—”
“I’ve never sent you a message like that!”
While an argument ensued, Meredith felt something was off. She pinched Dylan and woke him from his
sleep. “Weren’t you the one who brought her to the hotel yesterday? What happened?”
“I-I don’t know!” Though Dylan knew the reporters would take photos of him upon waking up, that was
not part of the plan. Besides, he was sure he had entered the room with Rayna, not Meredith.
In the meantime, the reporters became even more excited after seeing the plot twists.
One of them even asked a question sharply, “Mr. Faymon, who is the person you’re referring to? Also, it
appears that you’re very upset with the presence of this lady. Are you, perhaps, related to her in any
way?”
Hearing that, Meredith’s expression darkened even more. She was too preoccupied with arguing with
Julian that she forgot about the reporters’ existence, which allowed them to witness the argument
between Julian and her. At the thought of that, her expression twisted even more.
“Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Faymon and I are nothing more than just good friends.” Meredith gritted her
teeth and used Dylan as a decoy. “He thought this colleague of mine assaulted me, so he came to my
rescue.”
The way the reporters looked at the woman had changed.
What they heard was that Julian reprimanded Meredith for cheating on him. For that, they even had an
argument.
This lady is so good at twisting the truth!
Yet, as they accepted Julian’s money, they dared not say anything recklessly and waited for Julian’s
reply.
Meredith gestured to Julian with a glance. Upon capturing the signal, Julian, too, came to the realization
that they had been set up by someone else. He played along with Meredith’s plan and said, “Yes. I’m
here to help Ms. Jones.”
In the meantime, Dylan’s expression changed drastically.
Pointing at Meredith, Dylan stuttered badly, “Ms. Jones, you set me up?”
“You’re the one who took me here and sexually assaulted me. Why act like you haven’t done it now?”
Meredith slapped Dylan and continued, “If you’re unhappy with me in the company, you can always tell
me. Why resort to such a pathetic and despicable method?”
With that said, Meredith covered her face with her hands and started weeping. At that moment, she
looked very pitiful.
“You b*tch! You’re the one that asked me to help!” Dylan grabbed Meredith by her hair and scolded,
“How dare you accuse me now? What are you up to?”
Just as Dylan started shoving Meredith around, Julian couldn’t stand back anymore. He lunged at Dylan
and hurled punches at him.
No matter what, it was more important to protect Meredith at that moment.
“Julian, forget it.” Meredith held Julian by his hand and pretended to be a magnanimous person. “He’s
my employee, after all. There’s no need to make a police report. Let’s not make a scene out of this.”
“How could you forgive him after what he had done to you?”
Rayna, who stood behind the reporters, was speechless at their interaction. She reckoned that the acting
where Meredith pretended to be a forgiving person and smiled at the reporters, asking them not to make
a scene out of it, deserved an award.
Well, well, well!
There was no way she would let them off that easily.

gave Rayna a signal.
Seeing that, Rayna knew it was time for her to make her appearance. She held her hand on the door,
pretended that she had just arrived, and with a voice that was not loud but clear enough to be heard, she
asked, “Darling, why are you here?”
The reporters turned around immediately. They saw Rayna standing on the doorstep, and so did Julian
and Meredith. Upon the sight of Rayna, Meredith’s eyes looked like they were about to shoot out a fire
that would incinerate Rayna alive.
She knew. She knew Rayna was the one who orchestrated the whole scene.
“And you must be Mrs. Faymon, right?” The young man hired by Rayna came running up to her and
asked, “Mr. Faymon said you were cheating on him with another man in the hotel. However, when we
arrived with Mr. Faymon, we did not see you and the so-called man. Where did you come from, Mrs.
Faymon?”
“Cheating on him?” Rayna was startled and hurriedly explained, “No, no. A colleague was kind enough to
send me to the hotel last night, but he was even more hung up than me. I arranged a room for him and
got myself a room after that. I’m here because someone texted me, telling me that my husband is—”
Rayna stopped talking abruptly as she heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Julian, whose clothes were
still neat.
After that, she seemingly finally noticed Meredith, who wrapped a blanket around herself, and Dylan,
who was still on the bed. She pretended to be shocked by the scene and said, “Oh? So Ms. Jones is
here as well? No wonder it’s so lively right now.”
“Yes, yes.” Meredith was livid that she almost broke her nails from clenching her hands too tight. Yet, she
could not further damage her reputation and image with the reporters still around, so she gave Julian
another signal.
Julian immediately grasped the message and dragged Rayna away. “Dylan assaulted Ms. Jones. All
right, that’s enough. Let’s go. There’s nothing to see here. Ladies and gentlemen, let’s leave.”
When Julian dragged Rayna, he dragged her in an unmanly manner that had her stumbling.
As she stumbled, Rayna raised her hands, and the young man, who Rayna hired, caught something and
asked without hesitation, “This ring. It’s from the same series as the necklace on Ms. Jones’ neck, no?”
