Dear Sweetheart Chapter 372
Chapter 372
She heard someone knocking on her door when she exited the bathroom after washing up.
“I’m awake. What’s the matter?” Rayna asked politely.
The housekeeper replied, “Ms. Gand, please have your meal in the dining room, then head to Old
Mr. Ternc’s study. This is an order from Old Mr. Ternc.”
“All right. I got it.”
Rayna didn’t want to wear the heavy dress yesterday, so she put on the clothes she had worn when
she arrived. Upon entering the dining room downstairs, she saw Jefferson had already reached, and he
was the only person there.
He walked over and pulled out a chair for her.
After Rayna took a seat, she asked him in an undertone, “It’s just us? Aren’t your dad and Arnaud
having their meal?”
He poured her a ss of milk while answering halfheartedly, “My dad received a document before
lunch and went upstairs in a rage. A short whileter, he summoned Arnaud to his study too.”
“Is that the document you mentioned?”
“Yes.”
“That’s pretty fast.” Nevertheless, the situation was advantageous to them. Rayna added, “The
housekeeper told me to go to your dad’s study after I finish my lunch. Will you be going as well?”N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
After seeing him nodding his head, Rayna grew impatient. “Let’s hurry up and eat, and then we can go
and see Arnaud getting punished. This will decide whether we can acquire the right of inheritance.”
Taking in her adorable mien, Jefferson chuckled.
After finishing their lunch, they went to Boniel’s study together. Rayna witnessed Boniel giving Arnaud a
hard p across thetter’s face through the left-ajar door when she arrived at the entrance.
“B*stard! Didn’t I tell you not to meddle in this shady business? Are you turning a deaf ear to my
warnings?”
Jefferson knocked on the door. “Dad, can wee in?”
“Come in!”
Upon entering the study, Jefferson and Rayna noticed the documents scattered across the floor. Boniel
wore a furious expression, evidently just having vented his anger, while Arnaud stood before his father
with his head lowered.
Jefferson picked up all the documents and asked, “Dad, what’s going on?”
“Have a look yourself!” Boniel tossed the file on the table to Jefferson and bellowed, “Your brother is
resorting to unscrupulous methods to earn money. He’s even participating in shady business like this!”
Arnaud licked his numb lips and straightened his back. “Dad, things have changed now. The Philier
family is also taking part in this business. Do you want to get cast aside by the other ns?”
“Shut your mouth!” Boniel pped Arnaud again. “I’ve told you this. You can pull any scam or
deception when doing business, but you’re forbidden from involving yourselves with this hical
dealing!”
Jefferson pretended to browse through the file before saying to Arnaud, “Arnaud, I know you’re trying to
win more people’s support, but you’ve indeed made a mistake by going against Dad’s will in partaking
in such business.”
Arnaud turned to look at Jefferson with his cold and malicious gaze. “Do you think I don’t know you’re
behind this?”
“Mr. Cyrus, you can spew as much nonsense as you wish, but you can’t simply pin the me on
others.” Rayna waited for the right moment to speak. “You assume Calbert is framing you. Well, I think
you tricked Calbert into giving up his right of inheritance.”
“You’re not qualified to speak here!” Arnaud snapped fiercely.
“Cyrus!” Boniel mmed the tabletop forcefully and roared, “She’s your brother’s girlfriend. Why are
you shouting at a woman?”
Then, he swept his eyes across Jefferson and Arnaud. “You two arepeting against one another
more ferociously than those families with over ten male siblings. I’m being utterly shamed by you two!”
Jefferson and Arnaud fell silent.
Boniel ced his hands on his hips and paced around inside the study for a long while before he said
to Jefferson, “Your brother’s mistake is unforgivable. I’ll give you another chance to regain the Ternc
family’s right of inheritance.”
Arnaud looked at Boniel. “Dad, you’re too biased toward him!”
Boniel sneered. “I’m being biased? Is his error as severe as yours? Or do you wish me to revoke your
right of inheritance and gift the Ternc family’s assets to someone else?”
Arnaud kept quiet and grimaced.
Jefferson took a step forward. “Dad, I will solve any difficulties to reim my right of inheritance.”
Boniel took out a document from the drawer of his desk. Then, he affixed his signature and handed it to
Jefferson.
“The Tenth The King’s Party will be held in two months, and members of many families will be
participating in the event. As long as everyone on this name list signs this document, I will announce
your remation of the Ternc family’s right of inheritance.”
He paused briefly and added, “I’m tired and wish to step down from the leadership position in the
group. I’ll carry out a test in the future to assess which of you is more capable of taking over the
Ternc family. Of course, that is provided that you can regain the right of inheritance. Otherwise, I’ll
only evaluate your brother since you won’t be qualified to share any part of the Ternc family’s asset.”
Rayna furrowed her brows. I really don’t know if Boniel is biased toward Jefferson or if he’s trying to
make things worse for thetter. After Arnaud bes aware of this matter, he will undoubtedly devise
ns to stop the politicians from signing the document. In this case, Jefferson will face much more
obstacles in recovering his right of inheritance.
Jefferson received the document without hesitation and nodded. “Rest assured, Dad. I will aplish
this task.”
“That’s enough. All of you can get out now.”
Annoyed by the sight of his burdensome sons, Boniel chased them out of his study.
When Rayna was leaving the room, she unintentionally noticed therge oil painting hanging on the
wall. The woman in the picture was beautiful, and her eyes twinkled kindly. She was none other than
Sandy before she was disfigured.
Rayna thought hatefully. If it weren’t for Boniel’s ruthlessness in forcing himself on Sandy, Curtis
wouldn’t have lost his parents. Curtis wouldn’t be rted to Jefferson, and these bothersome problems
wouldn’t have arisen.
Sensing her wobbly gait, Jefferson reached out to support her. “Are you feeling nauseous again?”
“I’m fine.”
Rayna’s heart ached when she met his concerned gaze. I shouldn’t have harbored that kind of thought
just now. If Jefferson’s identity had been altered, we wouldn’t have met, and my life would’ve certainly
be different. In that case, I wouldn’t have met the love of my life too.
“Jefferson, thank you.” She expressed her heartfelt gratitude. “If I didn’t encounter you in the past, I
wouldn’t have met with Julian and all my other friends. Not to mention, all these events have made my
life much more interesting and colorful.”
Upon hearing that, Jefferson felt a hint of destion in his chest. He bore his blue eyes into her. “Me
too.”
Still, he was filled with immense regrets because he had severed the possibility of them bing a
couple with his own hands, and there wasn’t any way for him to recover that anymore.
If he had known that time would change everything, he would never let go of her, no matter the price he
had to pay.
“That’s enough. Let’s drop this topic.” Rayna pursed her lips as they walked forward side by side. She
asked, “Is anyone on the name list who is on good terms with you?”
“There is, but…” He paused briefly while handing her the name list. “Most of the politicians are better
acquainted with Arnaud. Aside from family background,working also ys a critical role in this
circle. When I lost my right of inheritance, those politicians who were friendly with me have probably
switched sides to butter Arnaud up.”
Rayna received the name list and browsed through the content. Her body shuddered when she saw the
name at the bottom of the page. It’s Jeremy.
The King’s Party was a significant event among the elites of Yartran. Jeremy served Loang and was a
well-known figure in the scientific researchmunity. Hence, it wasn’t surprising for the organizer to
invite him.
Noticing the frown on her face, Jefferson said, “Don’t worry, Belle. I am still the Ternc family’s
second born son, after all. Perhaps they’ll do me a favor if I pay them a visit.”
She shook her head. “I know you take enzyme inhibitors daily, and your body’s condition is improving.
However, the doctor did mention negative emotions and fatigue will rapidly worsen your illness.
Therefore, let me handle this.”
“No!” he refused coldly. “You’ve been overexerting yourself for my sake and almost suffered from
miscarriage previously. I won’t let you shoulder this task alone this time anymore.”
