Chapter 376: Chapter 376

“I know about that as well.”

Sandy told him all about Boniel’s wicked ways, so Jefferson knew how Boniel forced her to leave her husband and son.

The son that Sandy was pregnant with turned out to be Jefferson’s brother from another father.

However, he had never met that brother of his.

After skimming through the contents on the phone screen, Jefferson froze and tensed up all of a sudden.

After staring worriedly at him for quite some time, Rayna couldn’t stand the tension and called out to him, “Jefferson?”

“No! This can’t be!” Jefferson leaped to his feet and smacked Rayna’s phone to the floor. “This must be Arnaud’s doing! There’s no way he and I are...”

“Calm down, Jefferson.” Rayna ran up to him and grabbed his arm as she continued, “Sandy’s name used to be Xandra. She married Sylvester and gave birth to Curtis.”

“No! No! This can’t be true! You’re lying to me!” Jefferson yelled in disbelief and shoved Rayna off.

He then slumped against the couch with a depressed look on his face.

Rayna sat down next to him and wrapped an arm around his shoulder. “I know you don’t want to believe this, but it’s the truth.

Curtis is your half-brother.”

“But the two of us have always been so far apart... We don’t even know each other...” Jefferson refused to believe that his half-

brother was the one who stole his woman.

He tightly clenched his fists as he continued angrily, “He was married, wasn’t he? Why did he have to go steal someone else’s wife? Why did it have to be Curtis’ mother, of all people?”

“This isn’t your fault, so you shouldn’t stress yourself out over it. Just use your father’s love toward you to your advantage and become the heir of the Terblanc family. Once you do, you’ll be able to do anything you want, including getting your revenge,”

Rayna comforted him.

Jefferson looked up at her and asked, “When did you find out about this?”

“It was after you met Sandy. My brother gave me a call and told me about it,” Rayna replied honestly.

“Does he know about this?”

Rayna nodded. “Jefferson, it’s true that you and Mr. Faymon are related by blood, but he knows you’re not at fault, so he won’t hate you for it or anything. I’m telling you this so that you’ll be able to keep your cool if Arnaud uses it against you. I know what I’m doing isn’t fair, so you can scold me or hit me if you want to.”

“Oh, I couldn’t possibly bring myself to hurt you. I know you do this because you care about me. I just don’t like being involved in such a dramatic turn of events, that’s all.”

I would’ve been okay with anyone else. Why did it have to be Curtis?

Rayna pursed her lips and kept quiet.

She took it way worse than Jefferson when she first found out about it.

However, she also knew nothing was going to change that fact. All she could do was prevent Arnaud from pitting him and Curtis against each other.

Rayna knew that Curtis and Jefferson couldn’t care less about Naomi, but she wasn’t expecting Naomi to have returned to Yartran long ago and hidden within the Terblanc residence.

It was already nine at night when Arnaud came out of Boniel’s study.

Judging by the faint smile on his face, it was obvious that he had a pleasant chat with Boniel.

“I’m heading over to Bruce’s, and I’ll need a new suit for an important cocktail reception tomorrow,” he said while retrieving his coat from the housekeeper.

“Sure thing, Mr. Terblanc. Would you like me to send you over?”

“No, I can manage it myself.”

Being a designer hired by the Terblanc family, Bruce was staying in a small bungalow on the west.

Arnaud was able to get there via dome car within eight to nine minutes.

Bruce was instructing his assistant on cutting up some fabric in the living room when Arnaud showed up. He quickly stepped forward to greet Arnaud, but the latter simply waved at him and made his way to the second floor.

He walked to the end of the corridor and knocked five times on the door, which opened up from the inside shortly after.

Naomi was wearing gray-colored casual wear, and her face was pale. Even so, she still looked incredibly beautiful.

Immediately after opening the door, she threw herself at Arnaud and pounded against his chest. “I’m surprised you still remember me! I thought you had forgotten about me!”

“I think about you all the time, so there’s no way I would ever forget you.” Arnaud then pulled her into the room and closed the door behind them as he continued, “But I can’t keep coming here without reason, or people are going to get suspicious.”

Naomi pushed him off angrily. “Don’t give me such excuses!”

Arnaud hugged her from behind and planted kisses on her neck as he whispered, “My heart beats for you, Naomi.”

He then snaked his slightly calloused hands under her shirt and caressed her silky smooth skin. “Do you want it, Sweetheart?”

Unable to resist his seduction, Naomi turned around and kissed him aggressively on the lips.

It wasn’t long before their bodies were intertwined in bed.

Naomi’s hair fell upon his bare chest as she nestled in his embrace. She looked a little tired, with her eyes barely open.

“When did you get here?” Arnaud asked while running his fingers through her hair.

“A week ago. Thank goodness you bribed Bruce into working for you. Otherwise, I’d have nowhere to go!” Naomi replied lazily while resting her chin on his chest.

“Has Jefferson been hunting you down like a dog?”

“Yes, he has. He found out about me being here the moment I arrived. I nearly got killed at the airport!” Naomi replied angrily.

Arnaud narrowed his eyes upon hearing that. “I paid those people lots of money, and yet, they couldn’t even defeat Jefferson?”

Naomi looked up at him as she said, “Oh, you can just replace them later. By the way, I heard Jefferson had Rayna moved into the Terblanc residence.”

Arnaud gave her a light pinch on the cheek. “Oh, come on. I know the poisoned gown was your doing. The entire manor is in chaos because of that incident.”

Naomi simply let out a defiant snort in response. “Hmph! That’s what he gets for returning to the Terblanc family! He’s sick, and yet, he has the audacity to compete against you for the position of the heir. So, I got mad and wanted to teach him a lesson!”

She then got up and asked nervously, “What’s wrong? Did I mess things up?”

Arnaud gave her a light poke on the cheek. “No, you didn’t. On the contrary, I’m very satisfied with what you did. My father stopped pursuing the matter after a housekeeper died. He even gave me a huge amount of money.”

“Why?”

Arnaud then told her everything that had happened in the living room earlier.

Naomi leaned back against his chest and hugged him tightly. “You have me, Cyrus. I’ll always love you and stay by your side. I’ll keep you company and make lots of babies with you. We’ll be very happy together.”

Instead of responding to her words, Arnaud asked, “Did you manage to kick the addiction?”
