Chapter 94 Falling Into The Trap Willingly

One of the police officers was still trying to make his point when Naomi interrupted him, “If you insist on

bringing Ms. Garland back for interrogation, you must give our company and the public a proper

explanation. That’s because our company shares will be affected once news of Ms. Garland being

brought away by the police is out. Also, it will not look good on the police force in the eyes of the public

and the media when Ms. Garland is released without charges later.”

The two police officers were stumped for words. They were not confident of this arrest either.

They could only blame their poor luck for getting this assignment. Everyone knew that Faymon Group

could not be offended. If they really brought Rayna back to the police station for interrogation, they would

be the ones to be scorned.

The two police officers exchanged glances with each other.

After a brief moment, one of them said, “Since Mr. Faymon is acting as Ms. Garland’s guarantor, then we

have no reason to dispute that Ms. Garland is innocent.”

Curtis nodded his head in agreement.

Although the whole incident lasted less than ten minutes, Rayna was quite shaken by the dramatic twist

of events. Some employees continued to linger around and gossiped among themselves.

“Ms. Garland,” Curtis called out to Rayna.

Rayna was brought back to her senses by Curtis’ alluring voice.

She glanced at Curtis and hurriedly lowered her head. “What’s the matter, Mr. Faymon?”

Curtis replied, “Mr. Lawson’s death has nothing to do with you. Thus, please don’t think too much about

it. If the police come for you again, don’t leave with them. Just bring up my name. Understand?”

Feeling warm in her chest, Rayna was touched by Curtis’ words. “I understand. Thank you, Mr. Faymon.”

“You’re welcome.” With that, Curtis left the translation department with Naomi.

After Curtis’ departure, the translation department fell silent for a minute.

Soon after, the nosy parkers began to crowd around Rayna. Their faces and eyes were filled with

curiosity.

“Rayna, you’re so amazing. Mr. Faymon actually came and spoke up for you.”

“You’re already divorced from Julian, yet Mr. Faymon still takes such great care of you. You’re so lucky!”

“Rayna, since you spent half a month with Mr. Faymon on a work trip, I bet the supervisor role must be

yours now, right?”

Although everyone appeared to be smiling and teasing Rayna, their words were obviously filled with

sarcasm.

Rayna was accustomed to such situations. She did not get angry but smiled instead. “Since everyone

has such high praises for Mr. Faymon, let me find his availability and invite him for lunch and chit-chat

with all of you.”

Everyone’s faces started to change. They tried to shrug it off by telling Rayna that they were only joking

and that Curtis had always looked after her anyways.

Rayna chuckled in her heart.

These people don’t even dare to fart in front of Edith. Yet, they have no qualms about hurling all sorts of

derogatory remarks at me. Do they really think they can walk all over me?

Meanwhile, James swiftly forwarded his findings to Rayna. Not only did he manage to get what Rayna

wanted, but he also discovered that Edith had been paid by someone to create disputes among

employees across a few departments in the company.

Rayna kept the two important videos away and sent the rest of the evidence to Naomi’s email address

anonymously.

These documents were sufficient to thwart Edith’s dream of being promoted to the supervisor role.

The next morning, Edith entered the office with her head high up in the air. However, after attending a

meeting, she walked out with a dejected face, as if she was drenched in a heavy downpour.

Seeing that, Rayna took some documents and went into Edith’s office.

“Edith, the documents that you wanted are ready.” Rayna had, in fact, settled them the day before, but

she did not hand them in because she wanted to wait for this opportunity to see Edith’s despondent look.

“Well, Rayna, I didn’t expect you to be this capable!” Edith stared at Rayna, her eyes filled with rage.

In the meeting earlier, Edith had tried to hint about appointing a supervisor for the translation department.

However, the management ignored her. Afterward, she heard about the incident involving the police and

Rayna and how Curtis personally came to save her.

Rayna played dumb and asked smilingly, “Edith, what do you mean by that?”

Edith slammed her hands on the table and hollered, “You should know very well what I’m talking about!

Don’t think that just because you rubbed shoulders with Mr. Faymon, you can have your way. This

supervisor position will never be yours!”

“I’d never thought of sitting in that position.” Rayna looked her straight in the eye. “You’re the one

coveting this position. But looking at your face, could it be that your hopes are dashed?”

“You…” Edith raised her hand and was about to hit Rayna when she stopped. She knew that hitting

Rayna would only prove her right, and she would lose all her pride.

Edith moved her hand away to support her chin and glared at Rayna arrogantly. “Of course not! I’m the

most suitable candidate for this role, and the management is aware of this fact.”

If the management really chooses you, they’re definitely foolish!

Rayna muttered to herself before smiling sincerely at Edith. “I also think that you’re the best person for

the job, and I look forward to your guidance in the future. If there’re no other matters, I’ll take my leave.”

After Rayna left her office, Edith angrily kicked at a chair but ended up hurting her toe instead. Her face

twisted in pain.

Edith had nothing but hatred for Rayna.

The latter joined Faymon Group after her but quickly proved her capabilities and earned praise from

everyone. Even Jonathan was impressed with her. As if that was not enough, she even married Julian

and became Curtis’ cousin-in-law!

Edith felt that her abilities were not that far off compared to Rayna’s. However, when it came to

opportunities, she did not have any share at all. Even when Jonathan was reassigned to the office in

Norham, the management only shortlisted Rayna to be his successor and completely disregarded her.

How could she not hate Rayna?

The more Edith thought about it, the angrier she became. She took her phone and rapidly sent a

message before letting out a sinister grin.

At half past three in the afternoon, Edith approached Rayna at her desk.

“Rayna, stop whatever you’re working on now.” Edith threw a folder on her desk. “Mr. Simon Smith from

Universal Investments Corporation is meeting a business partner from Faulkay for dinner tonight. He has

requested a translator from us, so I’m sending you there.”

Rayna glanced at Edith suspiciously.

A few hours ago, she was staring at me as though she couldn’t wait to tear me apart. Now, she’s asking

me nicely to help with a translation request? It must be a trap!

“Edith, I have too much on my plate at the moment. Please find someone else to do it.” Rayna pointed to

the pile of documents on her desk and continued, “These documents are urgently required by you. I don’t

dare to delay further.”

“No hurry, you can hand in these documents later,” Edith responded. “Rayna, is it because I’m only the

acting supervisor, and that’s why I’m not getting your respect?”

Rayna knew that no matter what she said, Edith was insistent on her going.

“Okay, I’ll go over in a minute.”

Seeing Rayna agree, Edith finally let out a smile, albeit somewhat wicked. “Hurry along then. The dinner

venue is Plum Blossoms in the eastern district. It’s quite a distance away!”

With that, Edith turned around and walked off.

Rayna stared at the document for a while, sighing.

She knew it was a trap that she was walking straight into, but there was nothing she could do about it.

It was already five o’clock when Rayna arrived at Plum Blossoms in the eastern district.

Although Plum Blossoms was well known to be a venue for business meetings, it was not the kind of

secluded venue that one would envision. In fact, it was lively throughout the day. Other than dining, there

were plenty of entertainment options as well.

As Rayna alighted the car and was about to enter Plum Blossoms, she could faintly hear a female’s

laughter nearby.

The laughter was so familiar that she could not resist turning her head to take a look.

There and then, Rayna saw Meredith decked in branded clothes, exuding an aura of confidence and

elegance. Her slender hand was holding onto the arm of a man who had just gotten out of the car. The

man looked at least fifteen years older than Meredith.

Rayna thought Meredith had retreated from the scene after she was blacklisted from the finance industry.

To think that she managed to find another backer so quickly after leaving Julian.

Well, it was not surprising. The Meredith that she knew was capable of much more.

As Meredith raised her head, her gaze happened to meet Rayna’s. In an instant, her eyes turned cold

and vicious, like a cobra staring at its enemy.
