Chapter 92 Diamond Castle Not For Sale

“What?” Jessica’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You have a younger brother? How old is he?”

“He’s a few years younger than me and is still a student. I think he’s quite cute,” came Rayna’s answer. “It’s about time he finds a girlfriend. You can chat with him on WhatsApp.”

James previously told her that his schoolmates were mostly boys. There weren’t many girls around. Thus, Rayna was afraid he’d be led astray.

They will be dating, not getting married. It’s a good thing for them to get to know each other more.

“Oh, your younger brother must be similar to you!” Jessica gave Rayna a teasing push as a bright smile flitted across her lips. She was a sucker for attractive people and could accept the fact that he was two years younger than her.

During the meal, Jessica had already gotten James’ WhatsApp number from Rayna. She kept stealing glances at her phone anxiously, grumbling that James hadn’t replied to her.

Rayna grinned. “He’s at a boarding school with strict discipline and doesn’t get to look at his phone every day. Don’t worry. I’ll let him know when he visits during the weekend.”

Jessica placed her phone down reluctantly.

A while later, she couldn’t help but start chattering again. This time, it was about work. She told Rayna that the new planning department manager was Brooklyn Faymon.

“Wow, I only learned through gossip that Brooklyn Faymon is Mr. Saunders’ goddaughter. He was the one who transferred her back from the Horington branch. Edith from your department belongs to Mr.

Saunders’ faction, too, right? I can’t believe a vice CEO can be this powerful. He might be able to monopolize the entire Faymon Group!”

“Brooklyn is in Faymon Group?” Rayna narrowed her eyes.

Brooklyn was the second daughter of Alfred’s eldest brother and Julian’s first cousin once removed. She knew that much. A few years ago, Rayna went to the Faymon residence with Julian during the new year and met her once. She remembered Brooklyn as an ostentatious woman.

However, when Alfred was still in power in the Faymon Group, he left orders that there shouldn’t be too many Faymons in the upper management except for the board of directors. Thus, the Faymons were sent to the branches in different states.

Why does Mr. Saunders have the guts to transfer Brooklyn back to Faymon Group? What is he doing? Is he trying to sound Curtis out?

“Yeah. She came a few days after you went to Tyrandas,” Jessica revealed as she stuffed a boneless chicken wing into her mouth. Her cheeks were puffed up as she mumbled, “Edith is doing all she can to butter up to Brooklyn. She ordered high-end takeaway food to the planning department every day and did everything Brooklyn told her to do like a lapdog.”

“Of course, she would want to butter up to Brooklyn. Brooklyn is a Faymon, after all.” Rayna chuckled lightly. “Besides, she’s just an interim supervisor for now. Whether or not she becomes the manager depends on Brooklyn’s help.”

Jessica pouted unhappily. “She entered the company earlier and has a backer. That’s all. Your supervisor wanted to recommend you to take over his position before going to the Norham branch. Alas, something happened to him before he could say anything, so Edith took advantage of the situation.”

She leaned forward to stare at Rayna eagerly. “Nana, didn’t Mr. Faymon say anything? You’ve been at Tyrandas together for a long time. Didn’t anything happen? Will Mr. Faymon back you up?”

“No, it was a work trip,” Rayna replied in exasperation, cutting Jessica’s daydream short. “Stop imagining things. Nothing is going on between Mr. Faymon and me, so I don’t need him to back me up.”

The collaboration is completed, and I don’t owe Uncle Curtis anything now.

“Just work?” Jessica munched on her food, looking disappointed. “You used to be relatives. Why is Mr. Faymon this heartless?”

Rayna had no answer to her question.

“Brooklyn was parachuted into our department, and your department is also in a mess. If a few other people get parachuted in, will Faymon Group be done for?” Jessica asked.

“Shut up, will you?” Rayna couldn’t stand it anymore and stuffed a chicken wing into the woman’s mouth to stop her from talking. “That isn’t our business as long as we get paid on time. If you don’t stop talking, I won’t cook anymore tomorrow.”

Jessica chose to shut up so she wouldn’t have to order takeaway food tomorrow.

Right after Rayna said that, her phone on the coffee table rang. She went to the living room to get her phone and discovered it was a call from an unknown number.

Is Julian calling again?

Rayna answered the call. “Who is this?”

“Ms. Garland, this is Naomi Gardner, Mr. Faymon’s secretary,” a voice belonging to a female greeted her politely. “I’m at the entrance of your condominium. Can you come down now?”

“Sure.”

On the way downstairs, Rayna wondered, Didn’t Naomi send me back a few hours ago? Why is she here again? Did something urgent crop up? Didn’t Uncle Curtis and I get even?

Outside, Rayna saw Naomi waiting at the end of the stairs, looking as professional as usual. She was flanked by two men. There was also a tall box over one meter beside her.

“Ms. Garland, sorry to disturb you this late.” Naomi gave her a bow and stepped aside to reveal the huge box. “Mr. Faymon asked me to deliver this to you.”

“What is it?”

“I’m not sure, but it’s pretty heavy. The deliverymen will deliver it to your doorstep.”

Rayna wanted to reject the gift as she didn’t want to have anything to do with Curtis anymore. Nevertheless, Naomi looked like she wouldn’t leave unless Rayna accepted the gift.

Her lips twitching, she showed them the way up.

A few minutes later, the box over one meter tall was placed in her condominium. Naomi left with the deliverymen while Jessica walked around the box with her bowl in her hands.

Curious, she asked, “Nana, what is this?”

“I don’t know.” The box was tightly sealed as though it contained an antique. Rayna got a pair of small scissors to cut the ribbon and wrapping it away. It took her a while before she successfully opened the box.

“Wow, I’m going blind!” Jessica gasped when the contents of the box were revealed.

Rayna was stunned, too.

After the box was removed, a glass case containing a diamond castle appeared in their sight. The castle was made from at least thousands of diamonds that sparkled under the light brilliantly. It was an enchanting sight.

After a stunned silence, Jessica was the first to regain her composure. She yelled excitedly, “Oh, my! Isn’t this the Disney diamond castle that isn’t for sale? Oh, my heart is about to melt! It is so pretty!”

Hearing that, Rayna finally recalled what it was.

She gazed at the diamond castle in the glass case blankly, refusing to believe that Disney’s diamond castle, which only appeared in exhibitions, was at her house.

Right then, her phone vibrated twice. Rayna unlocked her phone to see a new WhatsApp message.

Curtis: Ms. Garland, I hope the castle can give you a sweet dream. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

It was a simple sentence, and Rayna understood every word. Nevertheless, she couldn’t stop the tip of her ears from going red. Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt like she was made of sweet cotton candy.

“Oh, a text from Mr. Faymon.” Jessica had inched over with a cheeky grin on her lips. “Why did you tell me you have nothing to do with him, huh? Look at his gift. It means something, doesn’t it?”

“Perhaps it is a thank-you gift.” Rayna quickly regained her senses and shoved Jessica away. “After you finish eating, wash the dishes. I’ll head to my room now.”

“What about the diamond castle? Will it get stolen if we leave it in the living room?”
