Chapter 742


    Chapter 742 Pet Store Suspect


    Yuna''s answer stunned Rayna for a moment. Cassidy''s afraid of these small, curry creatures, so why


    would she bring them away by herself?


    “Did Cassidy take them away herself?” Rayna asked.


    In response, Yuna shook her head. “A prettydy apanied Ms. Cassidy upstairs and grabbed two


    of them.”


    Prettydy? Perplexed, Robin asked, “Those two don''t let strangers touch them easily, though.”


    “Then we don''t know.” Yuna tugged Yasmin''s shirt and exined, “They were obedient in the pretty


    lady''s arms.”


    “In that case, whoever took them away was someone they were familiar with,” spected Rayna


    before she turned to Robin. “Who else could''ve interacted with them aside from us?”


    When Robin saw the sharp look in her eyes, he licked his dry lips and said, “Mrs. Faymon, you''re


    saying...”


    “You know what I mean,” she uttered. I know that after Curtis entrusted those two to Robin''s care,


    Robin took them to the girl who helped wash them in the past.


    In response, he defended, “No, that can''t be it. She won''t—”


    “Perhaps this was part of her n all along. That day, in the hotel, no one could leave the building due


    to the heavy rain. Yet, somehow, she coincidentally showed up in the hotel, even though she worked in


    the pet store. Have you thought about how odd that was?” From the very beginning, Rayna had been


    suspicious of that woman.


    However, back then, she didn''t overtly express her doubt.


    “Those two have mostly been in your care, so tell me, where have you been purchasing their food and


    other items from, hmm?” Rayna questioned further. So far, during their stay at Jayfort, Curtis had


    mostly let Robin do what he wanted instead of dictating what he should do.


    “I bought them from Milly''s shop, but she won''t—” Before Robin could finish his sentence, Rayna


    interrupted his defense.


    With a serious tone, she reminded him, “You should know by now never to judge a book by its cover,


    Robin. Maybe she seems nice when interacting with you, but you can''t deny the possibility that she''s


    working for someone. I''m telling you now that I''ll be verifying this matter with Curtis because I hope you


    won''t intervene.” I can tell he likes the woman in the pet store. It''s not that I don''t trust him. It''s just that


    when emotions are involved, it can be challenging to do the rational thing.


    “Are you... doubting me, Mrs. Faymon?” Robin questioned with dissatisfaction.


    “I''m not. I''m merely reminding you.” Rayna turned to Yuna and Yasmin. “You two should head upstairs


    first.”


    The children nodded before ascending the staircase.


    Momentster, Curtis, who had overheard the conversation, entered the living room and approached


    Robin when he saw thetter frowning at Rayna. “She doesn''t mean anything else by that, Robin. You


    don''t need to overthink it. Also, her reasoning isn''t unsound. You did bring those two to the pet store for


    a bath, so it''s safe to assume they let the woman bring them away because they were already familiar


    with her.”


    “But Milly''s just an ordinary woman. She won''t...” Robin uttered softly. “I''m not lying to you both, Mr.


    Faymon. She''ll never do that.”


    After listening to what he said, Rayna shot a tacit look at Curtis. “I''m going to the bedroom to rest for a


    while.”


    With that, she left the living room.


    Once Rayna was out of Curtis'' sight, he glowered at Robin. “It seems like I''ve been too lenient with you


    recently.”


    In response to Curtis'' admonishment, Robin lowered his head in silence.


    “How dare you talk back to my wife?” Coldly, Curtis swept his gaze past Robin. “I''ll send someone to


    investigate who the woman in the pet store is and her background. If Rayna is correct in her


    assumption, I expect you to apologize to her. However, if that woman is innocent, I''ll apologize to you


    on behalf of Rayna.”


    Upon ending his sentence, he returned to the kitchen.


    Robin was rooted to his spot and gulped anxiously. First, he nced at the kitchen. Then, he peered at


    the staircase. Once the coast was clear, he sighed. I know I''ve gotten a little too emotional earlier.


    However, now that I''ve pissed both Mr. and Mrs. Faymon off, how am I supposed to ease the tension


    between us?


    Instead of returning to her room, Rayna went to Robin''s room after she reached the second floor.


    Seeing that the door wasn''t locked, she pushed it open and entered the room. The first thing she saw


    was the cage.


    She ambled toward it and examined its surrounding, but she found nothing notable. Just as she was


    about to leave, she identally stepped on something.


    She picked the object up and realized it was a small tablet.


    Just as she wondered what it was, Robin returned to his room. In response, she handed the tablet to


    him. “Is this medicine yours?”


    He nced at it and shook his head. “No.”


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    “The animals'', then?”


    “No. Their deworming was conducted in the pet store. I didn''t buy any medicine for them.” He grabbed


    the tablet and examined it. “Although, this one does look like the deworming medicine there.”


    Just as he finished his sentence, he turned the tablet around and froze when he saw the words


    inscribed on the surface.


    Upon noticing his odd reaction, she peered at the tablet in his hand. “You''ve seen this before?”


    As much as Robin wanted to deny it, he spilled the beans when he met the sharp look in Rayna''s eyes.


    “Yes, this is the brand of deworming medicine that the pet store has.”


    She raised her eyebrow. “Considering I found that tablet here, it does mean the animals were taken


    away by someone working in the pet store, which I still think is Milly.”


    Robin''s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, making him look like a child who did something wrong.


    Meanwhile, when Curtis went upstairs, he checked the bedroom, thinking Rayna was resting there


    already. However, when he saw she wasn''t inside, he hurriedly searched for her before finding her in


    Robin''s room. With a grim expression, he strode into the room.


    The moment Robin saw Curtis, he automatically stepped to the side, increasing the distance between


    him and Rayna.


    “Why are you here? I thought you wanted to rest?” inquired Curtis in a deep voice.


    “I thought the culprit might have left something behind, so I came to check. I was right.” Peering at the


    tablet in Robin''s hand, she continued, “It''s the deworming medicine from the pet store.”


    When Curtis saw the white tablet in Robin''s palm, he questioned, “Are you sure?”


    “I''m certain, but I don''t know for sure if it''s that girl. In any case, it would seem Mr. Zeller bought many


    people in the area off.”


    “I''ll handle this matter. You don''t need to care about this.” Curtis didn''t want Rayna to pay too much


    attention to matters she shouldn''t worry about. “You haven''t taken today''s medicine yet. I''ve just


    prepared it, so don''t forget to consume it after dinner.”


    “The medicine Cassidy prepared...” Instead ofpleting her sentence, she looked at Curtis.


    “I don''t think she''ll hurt you,” he assured calmly. “While the medicinal herbs in the warehouse may be


    dangerous, the examination report indicated that their consumption in controlled volume won''t cause


    any harm. Besides, Cassidy didn''t use the medicinal herbs from the warehouse in the medicine she


    prepared.”


    In response, she nodded. “Have you checked the medicinal herbs in the dispensary yet?”


    “No.”


    “You should ask someone to grab some samples for analysister.” While Rayna believed Cassidy


    wouldn''t let anyone consume those unsafe medicinal herbs, she was confident thetter had a reason


    for keeping them.
