Dear Sweetheart Chapter 127
Chapter 127 I Regret My Actions
No one apart from Curtis and Alfred had ever trusted her this much.
Not wanting to hesitate any further, Rayna nodded and said with a confident look in her eyes, “Please
rest assured that I will do my job well as acting CEO and help Faymon Group survive this crisis!”
Satisfied with her response, Alfred had Naomi fetch the appointment letter. He then signed his name on
it and sent the digital version to all employees of Faymon Group.
Since Rayna had the official appointment letter signed by the chairman, no one dared say another word
about it.
Just minutes ago, they were all arguing about it in the conference room. With the candidate being
chosen, all the higher-ups left the conference room as they no longer had any reason to stick around.
Alfred wasn’t feeling well, so he left the conference room as well.
After personally seeing the shareholders out the door, Rayna returned to the conference room and saw
Julian, who was on his way out. She remained in the elevator and waited for him to enter before hitting
the button for the first floor.
The elevator hummed softly as it made its rapid descent.
“Why did you defend me during the meeting earlier?” Rayna asked calmly without looking at him.
She noticed something different about Julian the moment he entered the conference room earlier. Not
only did he look a lot wearier than thest time she saw him at the hospital, but he was also a lot less
confident when he spoke. That,bined with his act of defending her, made him seem like a
completely different person.
“I wasn’t defending you. I was simply stating the facts. It was all my fault,” Julian replied.
Although he turned his head the other way to avoid looking at Rayna, his gaze still fell upon her. The
look in his eyes was abination of guilt and regret.
Rayna pursed her lips and kept quiet for the rest of the elevator ride.
Upon arriving at the first floor, she turned to face Julian and extended her hand as she said,
“Regardless, I would still like to thank you for what you did. From now on, we’re even.”
Julian hesitated for a bit before reaching out to shake her hand. It wasn’t until he felt her touch that he
realized they hardly held hands throughout their marriage. As if that wasn’t bad enough, they even
slept in separate beds.
Rayna’s hand felt soft and warm to the touch, and her body exuded a faint fragrant scent. For a second
there, Julian found himself reluctant to let go of her hand.
Upon shifting his gaze toward her face, he saw that she was looking at him with her lips still pursed.
“Rayna, would you believe me if I told you that I regret my actions?”
“I would.” Rayna could tell what he was feeling from the look in his eyes, but she maintained her calm
expression as she pulled her hand back. “But it doesn’t matter anymore.”
Whatever feelings she had toward him had already faded over time.
As the doors of the elevator opened, Rayna stepped aside to make way for him.
Julian had wanted to say something, but couldn’t seem to find the right words. “Goodbye,” he said after
a long pause and stepped out of the elevator in defeat.
I was the one who let go of her, so I have only myself to me.
Sienna and Chester happened to step out of an adjacent elevator at the same time. The look on
Sienna’s face turned gloomy the moment she saw Rayna. She then let out an angry snort before
leaving the office building with Chester.
After getting into the car, Sienna eximed furiously, “What the heck was Alfred thinking? Why would
he leave the hospital ande all the way here just to screw things up?”
“Looks like he has more spies in Faymon Group than we expected,” Chester replied.
“It’s not just Faymon Group! He even has spies around us! Not only does he not trust us, but he doesn’t
trust Jason and Jared either! We’re all family, for goodness’ sake! I can’t believe he’d hand over a
company with a market value of hundreds of billions to an adopted son!”
“And whose fault is that, huh?” Chester shot her a fierce re as he continued angrily, “This happened
because you insisted on investing in your lover’spany using Faymon Group as coteral! Now,
look what happened! You failed to set up thatpany, and you still owe those foreign banks over a
billion! Faymon Group’s reputation overseas plummeted as a result, and thepany’s stocks almost
fell to zero! Alfred wouldn’t have been so defensive toward me if it weren’t for that!”
Sienna’s face went pale for a moment before she snapped back at him, “You’re no better yourself,
Chester! As greedy as I may be, I never went as far as trading Faymon Group’s secrets with others and
partnering up with them to set up apany! You weren’t the one in charge of Woodtree Group at the
time, but your mistress was the manager in charge of researching and developing cosmeceuticals.
When the cosmeceuticals series was fully developed, you sold thepany’s top secrets to a foreign
company and made billions in the process. However, Faymon Group nearly got sued for infringement
as a result. The only reason it didn’t suffer any losses was that Woodtree Group’s products had yet to
hit the shelves!”
`
Chester waved at her as he said, “That’s enough! Insulting each other won’t do us any good! I had to
come up with other ways to make more money! The profits from Faymon Group weren’t enough for me!
Not only does Alfred keep us out of Faymon Group’s senior management level, but he also gave his
adoptive son half of thepany’s shares! We only received two percent each, which barely even
makes us shareholders!”
“Exactly! Alfred would rather have a manager be acting CEO instead of us! It’s clear as day now.
Sweet-talking the shareholders won’t do us any good because Alfred was the one who brought them
into thepany. They’ll always do as he says no matter what!” Sienna eximed.
“Are you seriously okay with letting that woman run Faymon Group?”
“So what if I’m not okay with it? Alfred is determined to back her up, so any objections from us will only
make him unhappy!”
Chester then leaned in close and whispered something in Sienna’s ear.
Shocked by what he said, Sienna eximed, “Half of those shareholders are on Alfred’s side. This is
way too risky!”
“That old fox Mr. Ziegler has long since been coveting Faymon Group. The only thing holding him back
is his fear of Alfred. If we work with him, we can let him have thepany while we take the shares
and the money. That way, he’ll be the one to bear all the risks. You don’t want to spend most of the
year overseas with no money and no power, do you? We worked so hard to strengthen Faymon Group,
and yet, Alfred chose his adopted son over us! It’s about time you learn to stand up for yourself,
Sienna. At least do it for Jared,” Chester said.
Sienna kept her head low and went into deep thought.
Curtis is the reason my son couldn’t get promoted. If this n works, Jared will be able to rise up the
ranks effortlessly!

A few minutester, she shed him a smile and replied, “You’re right, Chester. We can’t achieve
victory without taking risks. Alfred will never appreciate our contributions to the Faymon family anyway.
Curtis is still unconscious in the hospital with his legs disabled, so the future of Faymon Group remains
uncertain. It’s better to save ourselves than to wait for an unknown oue.”
“It’s only his legs that are disabled, so he’ll regain consciousness sooner orter. He can stille to
work even if he’s wheelchair-bound. Also, he might be able to make a full recovery if Alfred gets him
treated overseas. We’ll have to do something about that,” Chester reminded her.
Sienna shot him a warning re. “Don’t do anything rash, Chester. He is still Alfred’s adoptive son, and
his friend had a bunch of men surround the ward. If you get caught trying to do anything to him, we will
lose everything we have, and this whole n will fail!”
“What friend?”
“I’m not sure. He seems to be from the Norham branch. They’re worried about Curtis, but they don’t
seem to care about Faymon Group’s affairs.”
Chester let out a disdainful snort. “I doubt Alfred would allow them to get involved anyway. Once we
take care of Faymon Group, we’ll go after the Norham branch as well.”
