His Precious Love Chapter 227
Chapter 227 I Will Marry A Teacher
Still, Theodore had to consider the Xavier family’s and the Goath family’s sensibilities.
With hurried steps, he left the café with Stephanie in his arms. When he saw Curtis, who was waiting by the road, he said, “I’m sending her to the hospital. Rayna is still inside.”
The latter’s eyes clouded over.
The two men were on their way to deal with some affairs. Unexpectedly, Theodore drove to the café after checking his phone.
As Curtis got out of the car, he shot a dark look at Stephanie. “Don’t f*cking play the victim. Not even Theodore can protect you if I find out she’s injured.”
Frightened by his words, Stephanie shuddered in fear and cowered in Theodore’s arms.
Rayna, who was left behind in the café, was in a tight spot from being surrounded by a crowd. They were all staring at her intently as if they were heroes of justice about to solve a crime.
After sweeping her gaze across them, she warned, “Don’t choose sides when you don’t even know what actually happened. I’m going to call the police if you continue to block my way.”
One of the people in the crowd reprimanded, “We saw it with our own eyes! Not only did you steal that girl’s boyfriend, but you also splashed sulfuric acid on her!”
“Yeah! You’d be doing exactly what we want by calling the police!”
Rayna tried to force herself through the crowd, but a woman shoved her backward while chiding, “My husband was seduced by a mistress! I abhor mistresses the most! Instead of living an honest life, they
choose to destroy other people’s families! People like you should be stripped naked before everyone else! It ought to teach you not to seduce other men!”
As the woman yelled, she reached out to tug off Rayna’s clothes.
With her in the lead, the others swarmed forward to do the same. Seven or eight pairs of hands tugged on her hair and clothes. Rayna put up a resistance to their attacks with all her might while defending herself using her hands.
The woman who scolded Rayna was especially ferocious, intent on stripping the latter naked in public. The next second, the woman shrieked as someone grabbed her hair and kicked her in the stomach.
The other women who were attacking Rayna collapsed to the ground after being either tugged on their hair or kicked to the side.
Curtis wrapped Rayna tightly in his coat and held her in his arms. His gaze on the crowd was callous, the overwhelming sense of oppression leaving them feeling suffocated.
“I don’t hit women, but certain scums are an exception,” he stated flatly. “Scum who have laid a hand on my woman cannot leave this café.”
The woman who was the first to strike Rayna scrambled to her feet and scolded him with vehement anger, “Who are you calling a scum, you son of a b*tch! This woman is promiscuous. Who knows how many men she has slept with? She snatched the girl’s boyfriend and even disfigured her! She deserves to be—”
Her last sentence was cut short by a scream. As it turned out, Curtis gave her a vicious kick, sending her flying backward and crashing into a table behind her.
The hostile air around Curtis made him look downright terrifying. “I’m cutting your tongue off if you say another word!”
The others were terrified of him.
Soon, the police arrived to arrest those women under the charges of assault.
“Why are you arresting us? We were merely teaching that girl a lesson for being a homewrecker!” one protested.
At once, the arrested women began causing a ruckus, refusing to comply. They were even wailing at the top of their lungs to get the attention of passersby outside the café.
“Thank goodness that I have a card up my sleeve.” Rayna, who had regained her composure, fished out her phone from her pocket and played an audio recording.
Thus, her conversation with Stephanie was broadcasted and made known to everyone in the café.
The crowd had various reactions upon hearing Stephanie’s threats toward Rayna. None of them expected such a turn of events, nor did they anticipate Rayna to be the true victim.
Rayna handed her phone to the police. “I suppose this can be used as evidence, right? Please deal with the situation accordingly if Ms. Goath tries to frame me again.”
The police nodded in quick succession. “Don’t you worry! We will make sure to be impartial!”
By then, the women began apologizing to Rayna, not wanting to have a criminal record. However, the latter was unfazed by their apologies upon recalling their crimes. Besides, her arm even bled from the scratches they made on her.
Curtis wanted to take Rayna to the hospital after leaving the café.
“It’s too much of a hassle to go to the hospital over such a minor injury.” She rejected his offer as she did not want to waste time waiting in line to see the doctor. Instead, she bought some iodophor and plasters from a nearby pharmacy.
Curtis’s gaze darkened when he glimpsed the scratches on her fair arm.
I’m going to make sure those women spend half a month in lockup!
While disinfecting her wounds using the iodophor, he asked, “Did she ask to meet you because of the news?”
“Yeah. She pretended to be a business partner.” Rayna frowned. “I wasn’t expecting her to be scheming enough to carry sulfuric acid on her.”
“Did you get any of it on you?”
With that, Curtis lifted her clothes. Blushing, she immediately grasped his hand. “Don’t grope me, Mr. Faymon. You’re behaving like a pervert.”
It was then he realized that he had gone overboard, so he retracted his hand.
The iodophor solution left a chilly sensation on her wounds. Wincing, she complained, “What have I done to offend Mr. Xavier? First, it’s his mother who looked for me, and then it’s a woman who likes him. It’s a good thing that there’s nothing going on between us. Otherwise, I would be leading a miserable life.”
“Are you thinking of having a relationship with him?” Curtis sounded annoyed, given his solemn tone.
Rayna shook her head. “No way. I dare not date someone as prestigious as Mr. Xavier. Once I earn enough money, I will marry a teacher and lead a normal life.”
His face fell as he seethed. “Why do you have such a quick change of heart, Ms. Garland? You were planning to confess to me a few months ago, yet you’re now thinking of marrying a teacher?”
She’s such a heartless woman!
“Humans possess cognitive abilities. W-What’s wrong with me having a change of heart?” Rayna muttered awkwardly. “As you said, that was months ago.”
Curtis sealed her lips with a kiss to cease her chattering. He even deliberately applied more pressure than necessary and only released her after a long while.
“You—” Rayna covered her mouth with one hand in exasperation. “You have no shame! What you just did was no different from a hooligan!”
“Weren’t you the one who forced my hand?”
“Why am I to blame when you were the one who took advantage of me?”
“It’s your fault that I no longer care about decorum.” Curtis pinched the flesh on her chin, warning, “You have one chance to correct yourself. Let’s try again.”
Rayna swatted his hand away and taunted him by6 saying, “I will marry a teacher. It would be best if he’s an art teacher!”
“Think twice, Ms. Garland.” The man began to play foul. “If I’m in a bad mood, I’ll send Kristie to study overseas, and your brother won’t be able to see her again.”
“Can’t you be reasonable?” His threat evoked a glare from her. “They are going strong as a couple! Why must you break them up? Isn’t she your family?”
“That reminds me. I have to marry her to a rich young man. From what Wyatt told me, a young man who is the heir to a conglomerate has been courting Kristie,” Curtis added casually. NôvelDrama.Org content.
That silenced Rayna.
After taking a deep breath, she apologized sincerely. “I shouldn’t have said that. I hope you won’t take it to heart, Mr. Faymon.”
“What was it that you shouldn’t have said?”
“I got ahead of myself. I shouldn’t have claimed that I want to marry a teacher.”
Curtis seemed satisfied with her response, seeing that a smile tugged on his lips. “This will teach you not to have your head in the clouds, Ms. Garland.”
Inwardly, Rayna rolled her eyes at him.
After dressing her wounds, he wanted to send her back, only to receive a phone call when they were trying to hail a taxi.
The taxi arrived right after he hung up. With a grim look on his face, he opened the door to let Rayna get in. “You should go back first. I have to make a trip to the hospital.”
