Dear Sweetheart Chapter 197
Chapter 197 Curtis Is Lying To You
Rayna could not care less about what Sienna was telling the media but fixated her gaze on Curtis. The
man was pursing his lips, and his expression remained cold.
This is so weird. He looks so calm and unconcerned about giving up Faymon Group. Why?
Meanwhile, someone hidden in a dark corner aimed a silenced gun at Rayna’s heart. A few seconds
later, the person pulled the trigger. The silver bullet pierced through the rain, flying toward her heart.
“Rayna!”
A deafening shout rang out behind her, and the voice was familiar.
Before she could turn around, a figure had already pounced on her. Following the sound of something
piercing into the flesh, she was thrown hard onto the ground with the person copsing on her.
She could barely open her eyes in the rain. Only after she wiped her face did she realize the person
was Julian. Completely soaked, he frowned as he breathed hard, gasping for air.
“Julian, how did you…” When she tried to push him away, she found her hands sticky and gazed down
—the man’s shirt was stained red with blood.
It took him a while before he lifted his head to look at her, panting. “Are… you okay?”
“I’m fine. Don’t move, don’t move!” Rayna, frightened to the core, tried to make a call and get an
ambnce. However, there was water on her phone screen, and she failed to unlock the phone despite
several attempts.
Her eyes turned red-rimmed as she cussed aloud, “What a lousy phone!”
She immediately shouted for help. However, besides the vehicles on the road, no one was around on
such a rainy day.
“It’s okay.” Julian could feel life ebbing away from his body. “I don’t have time to wait for the ambnce,
anyway.”
“Shut up!” Rayna chided as she impatiently tried to unlock her phone. After several attempts, she finally
seeded and made a call.
“Somebody’s hurt. We’re right at the intersection next to Faymon Group. Pleasee quickly!”
Panicking, her voice turned hoarse.
Julian broke into a smile upon seeing that. He couldn’t hold on anymore. As his arms went weak, he
copsed beside her.
“Everything is going to be okay.” Rayna took off her jacket to stop the bleeding on the man’s wound,
comforting him and also herself, “The ambnce will be here soon. Please hold on a little longer.”

Julian tilted his head and looked at her. Hisplexion slowly began turning pale. “Rayna, you’re so
kind. You’re perfect. Is it toote for me to find out about that now?”
He wondered why he would abandon such a beautiful woman in the past.
“Please, don’t talk.” She was already mentally exhausted from Faymon Group’s affairs, and what
happened to Julian pushed her to the verge of breaking down. “Are you crazy? Why are you here?”
“It’s Chester,” Julian said. “After his second son, Jason’s death, he holds a grudge against Curtis. After
learning about your rtionship with Curtis, he sent someone to kill you secretly.”
He held her hand, puffing. “Rayna, Curtis is lying to you. He’s involved in internal strife with Sienna.
The car ident was part of his n. His legs are fine.”
Thest ounce of trust in Rayna’s heart vanished.
She didn’t dare to affirm her guess all this while because she refused to believe Curtis would use her. I
feel stupid. It turns out he’s only using me, taking advantage of my guilt.
“What an idiot I am!” Rayna burst into tears. “Why would I fall in love with someone like him?”
His strategy ends up hurting a lot of people.
Julian’s eyes darkened. He raised his hand to brush away the tears and raindrops on her face. “You
like him because he sees your capabilities and nurtures you. It’s not your fault. I’ve been secretly
keeping an eye on your news for months. I’m happy to watch your sess. However, I regret what I
did, for I’ve lost you.”
If I had paid more attention to her in the past, everything would be different now. He was filled with
nothing but regret at that moment.
Rayna was at her wits’ end when she saw Julian’s breathing getting weaker and his hands turning
colder. “Please stop talking. I beg you, please…”
She looked around in panic and despair. “Why isn’t the ambnce here yet?”
“This shot is to make up for what I’ve done,” Julian added.
He moved his arm with great effort, trying to take something. Seeing that, Rayna searched through his
pockets for him and took out a small box. The instant she opened the box, a pair of beautiful pearl
earrings came into her sight.
Tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
She never expected him to remember the fact that she liked all kinds of pearls.
“Is it for me?” she asked.
Nodding, Julian spoke in a weaker voice. “I bought it a long time ago but didn’t have the chance to give
it to you.”
Rayna immediately took off her earrings and threw them aside. With her trembling hands, she
managed to put on the pearl earrings and force a smile. “Do I look good?”
“Yeah. You look pretty.” Julian lifted his arm with difficulty as he spoke, trying to caress her face.
She bent down, took his hand, and put it on her ear. In a choked voice, she said, “Thank you. I like it
very much.”
A smile of gratified delight bloomed on Julian’s face.
However, he was overwhelmed by anguish and was breathing with difficulty at the same time. The
pitter-patter of the rain washed the blood from his body into the drainage ditch next to him.
“I owe you this. Remember not to cry anymore in the future.” Julian leaned over and whispered into her
ear, “You look best when you smile.”
Nodding, Rayna sobbed uncontrobly. “Sure.”
Julianboriously took a deep breath before saying, “I found out that your supervisor’s death is rted
to Mr. Ziegler. You have to be wary of him.”
“I know.”
“I’m so sorry, Rayna.” Julian no longer had the strength to move, let alone caress her face. “If there is a
next life, can we be together?”
“Sure. Let’s be together.” Rayna knew the man couldn’t hold on any longer and wailed miserably. “I will
put on the most beautiful wedding gown and have a grand wedding with you.”
Julian leaned against her chest with a delighted smile.
Soon, the ambnce’s siren approached from afar and stopped beside Rayna. Several nurses
hurriedly alighted from the vehicle, but Rayna, shivering, remained kneeling on the ground with Julian
in her arms.
“You’re toote,” she said tearfully through gritted teeth.
The heart-wrenching pain was unbearable, and it was as if her heart was torn into shreds. Looking at
the aloof man on the huge screen of Faymon Group, she started bawling her eyes out.
She was in utter despair that day, for she had lost yet another important man in her life.
My heart… It hurts so much.
Rayna followed the ambnce to the hospital in a daze. She could hear nothing and all she saw were
the doctors and nurses walking past her in a haste along with Julian’s lifeless body.
“Julian, my boy!” a woman screamed and rushed over anxiously, ignoring the shoes that had fallen off
her feet in the process. The moment she saw the cold body on the stretcher, she couldn’t help but
tremble all over.
Rnda flung herself onto Julian’s body and cried, devastated. “My boy, how could you leave me
alone? You are so cruel…”
She was so agitated that she almost fainted.
Rayna went up to hold her and whispered, “I’m sorry.”
Realization dawned on Rnda when she heard Rayna’s apology. Screaming, she gave Rayna a p
across her cheek.
Rayna did not dodge the p and instead took it withoutint.
As if still not satisfied, Rndanded a few more ps on Rayna’s face before sping the younger
woman’s neck, strangling her. “Julian and you are already divorced! Why are you still pestering him?”
she wailed.
