Dear Sweetheart Chapter 485
Chapter 485
Upon hearing that, Rayna knew that someone had deliberately yed dirty tricks and made it difficult
for Giselle to return so that thetter could not alibi her.
Rayna tried to recall the happenings at the lock-up. As she started connecting the dots, she could
guess who the mastermind was. “I see. Give Ms. Brenn a call and thank her for rushing back for my
sake. Everything’s settled here, and she can return to where she came from.”
E nodded. “I’ve contacted the person in charge of Egret Scents as well as more than ten media
companies. We shall hold a press conference at two in the afternoon in the conference room. Is that
okay, Ms. Gand?”
“Sure! I’ll be there at two sharp.”
Immediately after E left, Rayna opened up the takeout boxes and enjoyed her piping hot spaghetti
bolognese. It warmed her tummy up and made her feel better.
While eating her delicious food, she had shbacks of Curtis making the same food for her.
Although the spaghetti bolognese he cooked for her was very salty and the ting was bad too, she
found it extremely appetizing.
It was the first time that man had ever made a meal for her. Moreover, it was a te of spaghetti
bolognese.
Rayna’s heart ached whenever she thought about the past.
She tried to distract herself by whipping out her phone and calling a private detective.
The line was connected about ten secondster.
“Ms. Gand.” After greeting Rayna, the private detective joked, “I heard that a smallpany is suing
Glory. Are you perhaps nning to engage my service to find out more about them?”
Rayna took her time to swallow her food before answering, “I can settle that case within today. The
reason I called is to obtain the dirt on an individual.”
“Who is it? Your arch enemy?”
“The Xavier family.”
The private detective kept quiet.
After a minute of silence, he replied cryptically, “You know, Ms. Gand, I’m just a small business
owner. I don’t want to take the risk and end up hurting myself.”
“I know. I won’t let you take uncalcted risks.”
When Rayna was making her way to thepany earlier, she had thought about a special n. “You
just need to focus on the investigation and leave the rest to me. Besides good remuneration, I’ll also
help you obtain Yartran citizenship.”
“Really?” The private detective found it unbelievable. “It’s not easy to apply to be a citizen of Yartran.
Are you sure you can help me with that, Ms. Gand?”
Rayna was resolute. “Yes. Email me all your details, and I’ll get it done within a month at most. If
anything happens to you during the investigation process, I’ll bear full responsibility. They won’t do
anything to you.”
The private detective pondered for a long while. He then replied firmly, “All right. As long as you can
change my nationality, I’ll check on the Xavier family for you and keep you posted, Ms. Gand.”
Rayna heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you. I’ll transfer the money to the same ount.”
“Sure!”
Shortly after hanging up, Rayna received an email from the detective containing all of his personal
information.
She browsed through it before sending the details to Ringo.
Since Emma was bold enough to harm her and her children at the lock-up, right under the noses of the
police officers, she would not let it slide.
Ringo texted: How soon do you expect the task to bepleted?
As soon as Rayna confirmed the request to be super urgent, Ringo told her he would get it done
through his personal connections, and the fastest would be half a monthter.
Upon seeing the message, Rayna thanked him sincerely.
Ringo texted again: Ms. Gand, you should thank Mr. Hamilton. The only reason why I’d satisfy all of
your requests is that he regards you with high importance.
Rayna wrote: Emerald told me he’s back in Norwal City. Is that right?

When they were still being retained at the lock-up, Emerald had told Rayna that Jefferson had been
informed of the matter, and he should be making a trip back to Norwal City. However, Rayna did not
see him even after she was released.
Rayna hoped that Jefferson did note back for her sake because she was worried that Arnaud
would n something against him in secret.
However, Ringo did not respond to her message.
While waiting for a reply, Rayna read her notes prepared for the press conference.
Yet, she could not help but wonder if Ringo was busy with work in Jetroina, as he had yet to reply to
her message.
After what seemed like an eternity, the phone rang.
It was E. “Ms. Gand, the media is here. Are you ready?”
“Yes. I’ll be right there.”
Rayna kept her phone in the drawer and grabbed her suit jacket from the chair.
Back when she was looking for a venue for her office, she had custom-made two loose suit jackets for
official asions.
For the event in the afternoon, it would be inappropriate for her to dress casually.
She went to the bathroom and checked in the mirror for her peace of mind. Once she saw that the suit
jacket could hide her baby bump, she left the room.
E was already waiting for her by the elevator.
She pressed the button as soon as she saw Rayna approaching.
“Ms. Gand, you look somewhat different today,”mented E.
Rayna’s heart skipped a beat. She thought E had discovered her pregnancy. “I don’t look good in this
suit jacket?”
“No. It’s not about the jacket.” E pondered for a while. “In the past, you looked rather timid, and
you’re always feeling sentimental. But now it seems you’ve be fearless.”
Oh, I see.
They both entered the elevator.
Rayna exined, “It’s because I’ve learned that there’s no use to be scared. Instead, it’s better to tell
the world that I’m not one to be trifled with.”
The more she gave in to others, the more they would think of ways to attack her.
If that was the case, Rayna thought she might as well face the challenges head-on.
E led Rayna to the conference room.
As soon as they opened the door, they were greeted by a full audience of reporters.
Two men were sitting on the stage, and one of them exuded an imposing aura as he answered the
reporters’ questions.
E took a quick nce at the stage and uttered, “I’m sorry, Ms. Gand. I invited them on stage, but I
didn’t expect them tomence before the scheduled time.”
“It’s okay. It’s hard to keep the reporters seated or for them to remain silent.” Rayna could not be
bothered. “Did you bring the item?”
E showed her the briefcase. “Yes. It’s in here.”
“Good.” Rayna then put on a polite smile and entered the conference room without any hesitation.
“Thank you foring to Glory at this hour.”
Everyone had their gazes fixed on Rayna the moment she started talking.
Even after joining Glory, Rayna had always been a low-key figure.
Not many people within the industry knew that Glory had had a change of top management.
Unbeknownst to the public, Glory’s new vice CEO was actually a woman. Nobody was aware of that
until they started digging for information about thepany when Egret Scents released an official
statement using Glory of giarism and theft more than ten days ago.
Then, rumor had it that the vice CEO was suspected of murdering a pregnantdy, bringing the matter
to a climax in an instant.
The reporters were eager to meet the vice CEO of Glory in person. When they found out that Glory
would be holding a press conference, they hade running with their tools and equipment at the drop
of a hat.
Rayna was in the limelight. Everyone kept clicking on the camera shutter to snap her pictures.
A reporter gasped in shock when he finally recognized her. “I remember now. Ms. Gand was the
former acting CEO of Faymon Group, known for her capabilities. Why is she with Glory now?”
“I thought she looked familiar too. Is she the same Rayna who got into a scandal with Mr. Faymon?”
“Yes, I think she’s the one!”
The reporters made a beeline for Rayna and bombarded her with a series of questions upon realizing
that she, a former employee at Faymon Group was involved in a scandal with Curtis.
Their unrehearsed, sharp questions rang in her ears, making her feel very annoyed.
Rayna signaled E and the security guard for help.
Once the reporters were forced to keep a safe distance from Rayna, she announced calmly, “Ladies
and gentlemen, the purpose of this press conference is for Glory to rify the usations alleged by
Egret Scents. If you’re interested in getting to know me and finding out where I used to work, I’ll invite
you for tea when I’m free. At that time, I’ll make sure to answer all of your questions.”
