Dear Sweetheart Chapter 369
His Precious Love Chapter 369
“It was my
fault, Dad,” Jefferson said at once. “I was the one who hurt her first. Please don’t me her. Besides, w
e’ve made up now.”
“So what if you’ve made up?” he
raged. “This woman is vicious to have sent you to prison. You are going to meet your end by her hand!”
Jefferson had the urge to retort, “Should I be greedy like you and get rid of theirckeys?”
However, he swallowed the vehement words. “She’s gentle and kind, which you will see if you get to kn
ow her She’s also smart enough to help me with the business.”
Boniel’s scowl remained.
Jefferson held Rayna as a show of support. “It’s her first time in our home, Dad. You could at least be c
ourteous. I told her you’re easygoing and love me the most.”
As Boniel doted on Jefferson, his younger son, he shook hands reluctantly with Rayna for his sake.
“I am Calbert’s father, Boniel Ternc.”
Then, Boniel beckoned Jefferson, and the pair entered the dining
room. “Tell me,” thetter said with an air of paternal love, “how is the business expansion in Aploth goi
ng?”
Hepletely ignored Rayna.
Rayna did not exhibit any signs of dissatisfaction. Instead, she pursed her lips and followed suit into the
dining area.
Having sent Jefferson to prison and tarnished his name, I deserve Boniel’s cold shoulder.
During their meal, Rayna silently observed the conversation between Jefferson and Boniel and realized
that aside from the things Boniel had done to Jefferson’s mother, he was a decent father.
After initial pleasantries, Boniel asked Jefferson, “How long will you be staying this visit?”
“As we’re not in a hurry to expand in Aploth, I would like to stay a little longer this time.” Jefferson nc
ed at Rayna with a smile. “I want to show Belle around Yartran.”
Despite being slightly disgruntled, Boniel nodded with satisfaction upon finding out that his son was sta
ying in Yartran. “Good. Go wherever you please, ande to thepany to lend a hand after
you’re done. sightseeing.”
“There’s one more thing I have to do during this trip back, Dad-”
Jefferson was about to say something when an attractive male voice interrupted, “Have you forgotten w
hat you said about having us run our ownpanies without using your connections as practice, Dad?
”
A slender silhouette approached as the voice increased in volume.
Arnaud was d in a ck three–piece suit. He handed his jacket to a servant to reveal a ck
vest upon his well–built and erect frame. His thin lips wore a smile.
He exuded a princely air just from standing there and surveying the scene with his haughty gaze.
“I know you love Calbert, Dad,” Arnaud said pleasantly, “and are worried that he may not rise to the tas
k, but I am your son, too. Would you also grant me a position if you’re going to allow him to learn the ro
pes in thepany?”
Boniel did not think himself biased. “Your brother is not as good as you, not to mention younger. The
Chapter 369
resources you have been taking from me over the years far exceed what has been granted to him.”
Arnaud arrived at their table and sat across from Jefferson. “I deserve them, Dad. It’s his fault for not w
orking as hard. If you’re giving him your connections, I should have something too.”
Boniel waved his hand. “Fine. I’ll have somebody make the arrangements tomorrow.”
Rayna kicked Jefferson under the table. “Reject it,” she whispered. “We’ll decide further when we get th
e right of inheritance of the Ternc family. Otherwise, we’ll just be strengthening Arnaud’s position.”
She did not wish to be defeated by Arnaud right when she arrived at Yartran before executing her n.
Jefferson did not need Rayna’s warning to understand their predicament.
“It’s all right, Dad,” he told Boniel. “I have yet to expand the business in Aploth, but thepanies here
in Yartran are raking in huge profits. In fact, one of them went public a year ago. I will have somebody s
how you the financials over the next few days. Cyrus is right. We need practice, and it won’t do
us any good if we use
your connections.”
“As expected of my son. I know you’re capable!” Bonielughed boisterously, looking very pleased.
Arnaud sneered at the warm scene before him.
Soon after, the housekeeper brought Arnaud his dinner.
Boniel was asking after him in concern when he identally nced at Rayna, and disapproval
shed across his face. “Cyrus, meet Ms. Gand-”
Arnaud interrupted him, turning to gaze at her as he did so. “I am acquainted with her. She’s Calbert’s g
irlfriend. What a surprise to see you in our home, Ms. Gand.”
“Naturally, I would bring my girlfriend home to meet Dad” Jefferson said.
Arnaud grinned. “How heartwarming it is to see you reunited after your breakup all those years ago. Th
e most surprising thing I have learned is that Ms. Gand was once married, had
ties to Mr. Faymon of Faymon Group, and may soon marry into the Ternc family. Remarkable!”
Boniel’s expression shifted, and his wariness toward her increased.
Glowering, Jefferson was about to speak when Rayna quickly grabbed his hand and smiled at Arnaud
“There is something I must rify with you, Mr. Cyrus. I got married only after I ended things with Calber
“No matter what, Calbert is my brother,” Arnaud replied smoothly. “I know everything you have done to h

Arnaud’s jaw froze in its act of chewing. His pupils dted.
Rayna lowered her gaze to nce at him for a moment before continuing, “However, you did no such th

Rayna maintained her polite smile. “I have always been this outspoken, which you may not be used to s
Her wit was sharp, and her Anndurn fluent. Despite Arnaud’s initial provocation, she returned the jab
and proved herself Arnaud’s equal without the slightest hint of fear.
Despite his initial preconceptions toward Rayna, Boniel began to see her in a new light after
witnessing her exchange with Arnaud.
This woman seems to be made of something.
“Enough. Let’s eat,” Boniel said, as if in defense of Rayna.
Arnaud’s jaw tightened, but he did not say a word.
