    Dear Sweetheart Chapter 20


    Chapter 20 Help


    Curtis frowned at the sight of Kristie’s haughty demeanor as she held the whip and flogged Rayna


    forcefully as if she was taking revenge on thetter.


    He did not expect Kristie’s sense of superiority to grow to the extent of whipping others at the set after


    he had allowed her to do as she pleased for the past two years.


    She would’ve died countless times if it wasn’t for the Faymon Group’s support.


    Curtis kept his phone, opened the car door, and strode toward the filming location. Just as Kristie was


    about to swing the whip in her hand again, he piped up, “Kristie.”


    His voice was not loud, but it was firm and powerful, so everyone at the scene heard him.


    Before Kristie managed to hit Rayna, she noticed Curtis’ arrival and immediately turned into an


    obedient girl. Kristie jogged up to him and held his arms. “Why are you here, Curt?”


    She even rubbed her head affectionately against his chest.


    A hint of iciness shed across his eyes, but he did not push her away. Instead, he merely uttered, “I’m


    here to take you for lunch.” Curtis casually nced at the set as he spoke and noticed Roxanne


    helping Rayna up from the floor.


    As Rayna was dressed in a white outfit, Curtis saw that a small part of her skirt’s hem had turned red


    because of the blood, and when she got up and walked away, her blood continued to drip onto the


    floor. It seemed like Kristie had been rather unforgiving in hitting Rayna earlier.


    “Mr. Faymon.”


    “Mr. Faymon.”


    Everyone in the entertainment industry was aware of Kristie’s background and the identity of her


    sponsor.

    Curtis had always kept a low profile. He seldom appeared in public, even when he was in the country.


    At that moment, being able to meet an influential figure like him in person, everyone hurriedly gathered


    around and greeted him. He merely nodded faintly in response.


    Trailing behind Kristie on their way to the resting room, Curtis stopped briefly in his tracks and said to


    one of the staff beside him, “Bring two bottles of the best medication you have to that actor.”


    That staff hastily nodded.


    Meanwhile, after Roxanne helped Rayna to take a seat, she quickly rolled up thetter’s sleeves. Tears


    brimmed in Roxanne’s eyes when she saw Rayna’s arm which was covered in wounds. “Sit here,


    Rayna. I’ll go and buy some medication for you.”


    Due to Roxanne’s low poprity and minimal influence, there was no way she could acquire the


    medication from the film crew.


    However, just as she was about to purchase the medication, a staff approached her and handed her


    two tubes of medicated cream and a bag of cotton wool balls. Roxanne was still in a daze even after


    the staff left because she could not believe the crew member had provided her with the medication.


    Assuming someone gave her the medicine because they saw Rayna was hurt, Roxanne cursed


    inwardly. Then, she immediately used the cotton wool balls to clean Rayna’s wound.


    “Rayna, I’m sorry,” Roxanne apologized in an undertone.


    “It’s just a superficial wound. I’m fine,” Rayna replied. After all, she could not leave her biological sister,


    Roxanne, to her own devices.


    Rayna nced in the direction of the resting room. She had seen Curtis showing up earlier, and


    judging by Kristie’s reaction, Rayna reckoned the two shared quite an intimate rtionship. “Is that


    woman Kristie Winton?”


    “Who else can behave as conceitedly as her in the entertainment industry?”


    Now, Rayna grasped the situation.


    No wonder she seemed so familiar when I saw her just now. So, she’s the most popr female


    celebrity from Excellent Entertainment Company under Faymon Group. I only know one of Faymon


    Group’s vice CEO is her godfather, but I certainly did not expect herrgest sponsor to be Curtis.


    While Roxanne applied the cream on Rayna’s arm, she rambled on, “Kristie came from an ordinary


    family, but she’s sessful now because she received help from a benefactor. If I am as lucky as her,


    I’ll be famous soon!”


    “With your stupidity, do you think you can ever be famous?” Rayna pped her sister’s head. “Are


    you nning on gaining poprity by making the news headline for offering yourself up, having your


    naked pictures taken, and being sent to the police station?”


    Roxanne was shocked. Then, she smiled sheepishly. “R-Rayna, you knew?”


    Rayna questioned Roxanne, “How did you know the cufflink belongs to Curtis? I can’t believe you even


    met up with him.”


    Roxanne remained silent.


    Rayna immediately pulled Roxanne’s ear forcefully.


    “I’ll talk. I’ll tell you everything!” Roxanne conceded due to the pain. She exined with tears in her


    eyes, “I brought that cufflink to a specialty store to get it checked. Only then did I realize that cufflink’s


    remarkable origin. Then, I arranged a time to meet up with Mr. Faymon by using the excuse of wanting


    to return the cufflink. Rayna, I did not have any ulterior motive. I just wanted to give him back the


    cufflink and ask for some tips from him.”


    “Tips? You requested five hundred thousand from him. Do you know how much money that is? I can’t


    believe you bought a role using that ridiculous amount of money! Is there something wrong with your


    brain?” Rayna shouted.


    Roxanne mumbled, “I don’t have any other choice because of the fiercepetition in the


    entertainment industry. With my beauty, you can’t expect me to act as a mere servant in this show,


    right? Besides, Ipeted with so many people tond this character.”


    Rayna’s mind buzzed, listening to Roxanne’s response. She could barely contain her urge to beat her


    stupid sister to death. “Roxanne, did I spend over one hundred thousand a year to fund your studies so


    that you can end up as someone’s ything?”


    Roxanne pouted. “I knew you would criticize me in this manner. Rayna, you’re too naive. The


    entertainment industry is a veryplicated industry full of shady deals. Do you think all the actors and


    actresses are pure and innocent? If you really care for me, you shouldn’t have broken up with Jefferson


    in the past. With his help, I—”


    Rayna raised her arm and gave Roxanne a hard p.


    At the mention of the name she had not heard in a long time, all the bad memories resurfaced in


    Rayna’s mind and overwhelmed her, causing her lips to turn pale and her hands to tremble.


    “Rayna?” Growing up, Rayna had never hit Roxanne even once. That unexpected p rendered the


    latter dumbfounded as she stared at Rayna in utter bafflement. “D-Did you just p me?”


    Dissatisfaction surged within Roxanne instantaneously, prompting her to yell at Rayna. “Did I say


    anything wrong? How dare you hit me? Take a look at the man you married. He’s such a cheapskate


    and had never offered to take care of us. You’ve spent most of the money you earned on his family,


    and despite how well you’ve treated them, I’ve never seen them reciprocate your kindness!”


    Rayna’s eyes reddened. She lifted her hand again to p her little sister but managed to stop herself at


    thest minute.


    That’s right. Roxanne is absolutely right. Other girls prioritized their own families, but I focused on


    caring for my husband’s family. In the end, this is the miserable fate that befell me. Fortunately, I did not


    lose too much money to them.


    “Regardless of how terrible my life is, this is still my personal matter.” Rayna took a deep breath to


    suppress her anger, yet her lips continued to tremble. “Do not mention that name again in the future.”


    She regarded Roxanne with a harsh, cold stare. “If you dare speak that name again, I’ll cut all ties with


    you in the future, and you’ll resolve that matter involving the five hundred thousand you owe Mr.


    Faymon on your own.”


    Roxanne had never seen Rayna act that way. She nced at thetter fearfully and nodded.


    Roxanne did not know much about Jefferson. She merely knew he was Rayna’s boyfriend when Rayna


    studied abroad and that he came from a wealthy family. One Christmas, he even gifted her a small


    castle that cost one and a half million.


    Initially, Rayna mentioned she would bring Jefferson back to the country for her family members to get


    to know him during the festive season. However, when Rayna returned, she changed her name, hastily


    got into a rtionship with Julian, and married him.


    Roxanne tried to sound out the reason behind Rayna’s breakup with Jefferson. At that time, Rayna


    nearly pped Roxanne and warned thetter never to talk about Jefferson again. Since then,


    Roxanne had never uttered his name.


    Rayna waited until she calmed down a little before asking Roxanne, “What agreement did you sign with


    Mr. Faymon?”


    Roxanne nced at Rayna. After noticing Rayna showed no inclination to scold her, she said, “It’s a


    trantor’s agreement. Mr. Faymon asked me if you are fluent in Uronian. He told me the five hundred


    thousand is the fee for your interpretation service.”


    “How did you know I’m fluent in thatnguage?”


    Roxanne quickly covered her head, afraid that Rayna would hit her again. “I didn’t, but I thought you’re


    such a brilliant trantor, so you should know thisnguage too. That was why I agreed then.”


    A sense of foreboding crept into Rayna’s chest.


    Why did Curtis ask me if I knew Uronian when we were inside the restroom the other day? It seems like


    he has checked my background, then deliberately tricked Roxanne into signing the agreement.


    Otherwise, he would have sent her to the police station. But I learned thisnguage from a book. No


    one should know about this aside from that person. Moreover, because there are lesser than fifty


    people in the world who are fluent in thisnguage, I did not add this skill to my curricr vitae. How


    did Curtis know I understood thisnguage then? And what kind of help does he require of me?
