Dear Sweetheart Chapter 397
Chapter 397
“Oh! She scored again.”
Suddenly, Curtis spoke with a dark look in his eyes. “Gabriel, since he loves champagne so much,
bring three bottles and pour them down his throat.”
“Understood.” Immediately, Gabriel set off to get the champagnes.
Jeremy was rendered speechless. “Where did you find an assistant like him? He’s still so obedient to
you even though you keep exploiting him! Is he going to get rid of my body if you wish to kill me?”
Curtis sneered soundlessly. “If you don’t shut up now, he might actually buy a coffin for youter.”
Choked with fury, Jeremy rolled his eyes. When he looked at the other private room again, he realized
something was amiss. “It’s her turn to y, but why is she covering her corbone instead of moving?”
Curtis followed his gaze. Indeed, Rayna was standing still.
Because her body was tilted, he could see she had one hand on her corbone and was biting her lip
slightly with a troubled look on her face.
Upon taking a closer look, he realized she was doing that because the silk ribbon supporting the weight
of her gown had snapped.
“Her gown must be torn,” Jeremymented, having understood Rayna’s predicament as well.
“Considering that the gown hugs her body, I reckon it’d drop to the ground if she let go,” he added with
a smirk.
He then clucked his tongue. “I’m sure those men in that room would want to see the beautiful body
underneath that gown.”
By then, the people in the room across from theirs had caught on too, and they seemed to be making
things difficult for Rayna. Jeremy nced at Curtis, only to see that thetter had an indifferent look on
his face. It appeared that he was unaffected by the happenings.
Hah! There’s no way Curtis isn’t affected by what he’s seeing! If he didn’t care about this woman, he
wouldn’t have put his work aside toe here.
“The beauty is surrounded by a group of beasts. How pitiful. Since I’m free, I’ll help you save her,”
Jeremy said as he ced his ss on the billiards table and rose to his feet.
Right when he was about to leave, Gabriel returned with the three bottles of champagne.
That rendered Jeremy speechless again. “You actually went to grab those? Your boss was only
kidding!”
Gabriel said seriously, “Mr. Faymon never jokes around. Mr. York, are you going to chug the bottles on
your own? If you find that too hard, I can help pour them down your throat.”
Jeremy could note up with a reply.
Momentster, he patted Gabriel on the shoulder. “Why don’t you enjoy these bottles of champagne?
I’m going to save the damsel in distress.”
“You’re staying here to finish the champagnes.” Curtis was not nning on sparing Jeremy any dignity.
With a grim expression, he took off the brooch from his suit and summoned the attendant, who had
been behaving like an invisible person the whole time.
“Take this to the opposite room and give it to the woman in the ck gown,” he said as he passed the
brooch to the attendant.
“Yes, sir.”
Having sensed the threat in Curtis’ tone, Jeremy tried to flee. “Mr. Faymon, our female lead is trapped
in a wolf’s den. An attendant can’t be of any help. It’s better for me to go over.”
Before he could move, Gabriel blocked his way.
“Mr. York, you should enjoy your champagne. Or would you rather I help you with it?” He brought a
bottle of champagne up to Jeremy’s face.
“No thanks! I don’t need it!” Jeremy forced a smile over gritted teeth and red at Gabriel. “I’ve never
met an assistant as annoying as you!”
“You tter me, Mr. York.”
Jeremy was at a loss for words again.
Rayna thought Arnaud prepared that gown to test if she dared to wear it. Never did she expect him to
tamper with it.
As the silk ribbon had broken on its own, she dared not move at all, standing still in the same spot.
The gown was nicely fitting, but it was not tight. The innermostyer was made of smooth silk fabric.
Without the ribbon’s support, the entire gown would drop to the ground.
Rayna took a deep breath and said to Marcus, “I have to go to the restroom for a while.”
“Oh,e on. The match’s almost over. Just hold it in for a little longer, Ms. Gand. Here. It’s your
turn,” he replied as his lustful eyes roamed her body.
The other men in the room responded with an equal amount of enthusiasm.
They were staring at her like a group of ravenous wolves as if they knew something was wrong with her
gown.
It was not Rayna’s first time encountering that kind of situation, so she could handle itposedly. But
I’m close to winning. It’s really a shame if I give up now. Still, it’s better to give up now than to let them
see me naked.
“I’m sorry—”
Rayna pursed her lips and was about to say something else when the door was pushed open.

The attendant who entered looked around the room. Upon spotting Rayna, he walked toward her and
handed the brooch to her. “A gentleman asked me to give you this.”
“Thank you.”
Great. This brooch can hold the gown together. It’s just what I need right now. Perhaps Jefferson knew
something was wrong with my gown and asked someone to send it over.
Thoughts ran through her mind as she quickly fastened the brooch on the ribbon. Wait. I don’t recall
Jefferson wearing a brooch today. Did he borrow it from someone?
Once she was done, she smiled at Marcus. “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”
“It’s fine.” Despite his disappointment, Marcus still faked civility, saying, “Ms. Gand, you should’ve
told us that something was wrong with your gown. No man could bear to see a gorgeous woman in
distress.”
Rayna let out a soft chuckle. “I’m easily embarrassed, so I can’t bring myself to trouble other people.”
At that, he gritted his teeth in secret. D*mn! This woman is silver-tongued. How dare she insinuate that
I’m petty!
A few minutester, the white ball was the only ball left on the table.
After counting the scores, the attendant announced the results, “Mr. Marcus scored a hundred and
thirty-three points while Ms. Gand scored a hundred and forty-seven points.”
Although Marcus’ face turned grim, he continued smiling andplimented, “Ms. Gand, not only are
you beautiful and intelligent, but you’re also great at snooker. I admit my defeat.”
Rayna shed him a faint smile as she passed the cue stick to the attendant. “My mentor is a world
champion. If he wishes to y, there’s no one who can win against him.”
Marcus was curious. “Which world champion taught you to y?”
She evaded the question. “Mr. Marcus, I won. You have to give me two minutes.”
“Fine.”
The two of them walked out of the private room and went to a quiet corner before Rayna talked to him
about that matter. “We’re friends, and I sincerely wish to negotiate with you. I know Mr. Cyrus has a lot
of supporters, and you’re one of them. But you must’ve heard Mr. Boniel adores his younger son even
more. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have arranged for a test like this when Jefferson wished to regain his
status as the heir. “
A hint of lust shed across Marcus’ eyes as he stared at the collected, eloquent young woman in front
of him. “Since you’ve proven your sincerity, Ms. Gand, I suppose I can discuss things with your
further.”
Then, he got closer to her and continued, “I want fifty percent of the Ternc family’s shares, or you
can be mine for one night. What do you say?”
Rayna stood with her back ramrod straight and eyed him with a fake smile. “I hear that you and your
wife have an agreement that if one of you has scandals reported on the news, either party will have to
give up all their assets after the divorce. The market value of yourpany is worth tens of billions,
right? That’s quite a lot. Besides, your wife is here today. Aren’t you afraid that she’ll find out?”
Marcus’ lips quirked. “Isn’t there a saying about giving everything up for a beauty? If I can spend a
night with you, I can give up everything I have.”
“If that’s the case, I guess we have nothing to talk about anymore,” she said. Then, she nced at the
time on her phone and continued, “Two minutes’ up. Well then, I won’t bother you anymore, Mr.
Marcus.”
Refusing to give up, Marcus called out to her, “Wait! I know I’m thest signature you need on that
document. Are you really willing to let your boyfriend lose such a good opportunity?”
