Chapter 465: Chapter 465

Rayna knew about Zenisan Villa; it was a high-end residential area. Previously she won a unit there from a wager with Meredith and a few others, but she later transferred it to Jefferson.

Did Wyatt buy a unit there too? She wondered.

Not wanting to miss any lead, she asked the private investigator, “Do you have the unit number?”

“Yes, I’ll email the details to you.”

“All right. Thank you.”

After settling some matters, Rayna checked her email for Wyatt’s address sent by the private investigator. She then notified her assistant, Ella, that she was knocking off early and left the office.

On the way to Zenisan Villa, she called Lopez Group to find out about Wyatt’s whereabouts.

She learned that Wyatt was out of town for a business trip and would only be back three days later.

Upon reaching Zenisan Villa, Rayna effortlessly found the unit based on the information provided by the private investigator.

As she walked to the gate, she took a closer look at the mansion.

The garden was well maintained with blooming roses. She could see the housekeepers busy working in the mansion from the windows.

Given that Wyatt only comes to the mansion a few times a month, it was strange that he had housekeepers staying there to maintain the property. Mmm, someone is living here!

Rayna concluded that Jessica must be staying there. She composed herself and pressed the doorbell.

Soon after, a housekeeper came out from the mansion.

She walked briskly along the garden to the gate. She looked at Rayna warily. “May I ask what’s the matter?”

“Oh, Wyatt asked me over. I heard she’s not feeling well, and I’m here to accompany her,” Rayna answered after a brief consideration.

Afraid that the housekeeper would not believe her, Rayna opened the photo album in her phone and showed a photo of her and Wyatt holidaying in Jetroina to the housekeeper.

Seeing Rayna and Wyatt in the photo, the housekeeper became less wary.

“Please hold on. Let me make a call.”

“You won’t be able to get him,” Rayna said with a smile. “Didn’t he notify you all when he left? He’s on a business trip now. I reckon he must be very busy with meetings.”

“Mr. Lopez did mention he’ll be busy during this period.”

Since Rayna was aware of Wyatt’s schedule, the housekeeper was convinced the former came here under his order. At once, she let go of all suspicion and opened the gate.

As she followed the housekeeper into the mansion, Rayna asked casually, “The weather is so nice. Doesn’t she want to take a stroll outside?”

“Ms. Marsh hardly comes down. She likes to coop herself in the room.” The housekeeper sighed. “She stays in the room all day, and her condition is poor. We’re worried about the baby in her tummy.”

Wyatt is indeed hiding Jessie here!

Rayna suppressed her anger and went along with the housekeeper. “Don’t worry. I’ll talk to her when I see her later.”

“Thank you so much.”

The housekeeper led Rayna to the third floor and knocked on the door. “Ms. Marsh, your friend is here to visit you.”

A weak female voice could be heard a few seconds later. “Come in.”

The housekeeper pushed open the door.

From the housekeeper’s sigh earlier, Rayna guessed Jessica might not be doing well.

After entering the bedroom, Rayna’s heart twitched in pain when she saw Jessica’s frail body and soulless eyes.

Jessica looked up. Her eyes widened in disbelief when she realized the person who stepped in was Rayna.

Rayna smiled at her.

She turned her head and said to the housekeeper, “You may leave now. I’ll have a chat with her.”

The housekeeper nodded. “All right. Would you like some biscuits and coffee? I can bring them up.”

“Not at the moment. I’ll call you if there’s a need.”

Rayna immediately closed the door after the housekeeper left.

Jessica had already walked over. Looking mildly excited, she asked Rayna, “When did you come back? You look good. How’re the babies?”

“Why do you keep asking about me? Look at yourself.” Rayna’s eyes welled up as she looked at Jessica. “Why did you become so skinny, my dear...”

She turned her gaze toward Jessica’s stomach and realized there was no baby bump. “Aren’t you pregnant for a while now?

How come there’s no baby bump?”

Jessica’s smile faded upon hearing Rayna’s question.

After a long while, she pursed her pale lips and said softly, “Those two babies are gone...”

For the next hour, Jessica related the past happenings to Rayna.

Including how she lost the babies and why she had been staying here.

Rayna’s expression gradually stiffened as she listened to Jessica. At the end of the conversation, Rayna snarled through gritted teeth, her body trembling with anger, “He’s inhumane! To think I trusted him, believing that he’ll treat you well.”

“Well, I owe him. So it’s right that he takes revenge on me.” Jessica laughed weakly, trying to put on a calm front. “Once, I took his phone while he was sleeping and called my uncle. They should be holidaying in Jetroina now. As long he doesn’t touch my uncle and his family, he can take my life anytime.”

Rayna hollered, “You don’t owe him anything! You’re not wrong to avenge your family. He’s in the wrong. Serves him right for having such a father! A person like him doesn’t have any f*cking balls and only knows how to bully women!”

Jessica caressed her stomach and said resignedly, “I’d like to keep this child, but I have no appetite. I’ll vomit whatever I eat...”

Every time Wyatt hugged her to sleep, she would be reminded of what she saw in the study, which made her want to vomit with disgust.

Her reason for keeping this child was not because of Wyatt.

It was because the pain of losing the twins before made her too heartbroken, and she did not want to experience it again.

Jessica looked at Rayna’s baby bump with a tinge of envy. “Have they been behaving well?”

“Not really. They kept kicking me some time ago, but it’s better now.” Just then, Rayna was reminded of the duck stew incident.

She felt her chest stiffen and could not continue.

Rayna changed the topic. “Do you have anything important to pack? I’m going to take you away.”

“I can’t leave.” Jessica shook her head. “Wyatt has been experiencing mood swings recently, and I don’t want to drag you into my matters. Further, I’m doing quite well here...”

“Doing well? You got to be kidding me. Look at how skinny you’ve become!” Rayna berated her. Holding back her tears, she said, “Wyatt is treating you like a prisoner. He doesn’t care about you after leaving you here.”

Just as Jessica was about to speak, Rayna intercepted her, “Don’t worry for he dare not do anything to me. I’ll take you to a place where he can’t find you so you can focus on your pregnancy.”

“Nana, let’s forget about it...” Jessica was hesitant about leaving with her.

She did not want to drag Rayna into this mess and end up losing her only friend.

However, Rayna gave no room for negotiation and pulled Jessica out of the room.

When they reached the living room on the first floor, they were stopped by the housekeeper.

“Ms. Marsh, where are you going?”

“Oh, it’s all right. I’m just taking her for a short stroll,” Rayna calmly replied. “We’ll be back in the evening.”

The housekeeper glanced at Rayna and recalled Wyatt’s order. She became wary. “Let me arrange for someone to accompany you then. If Ms. Marsh wishes to do shopping at the mall, there’ll be someone to help carry the bags.”

Rayna declined, “Don’t worry. I drove here, so there’s no need. Anyway, it seems like you don’t trust me?”

“That’s not what I meant...”

“Well then, why are you getting in the way? I just want to take her for a stroll. Are you afraid that I’ll abduct her?” Rayna chuckled. She dialed a number on her phone and passed it to the housekeeper. “All right then, why don’t you inform your boss about this.”

As the housekeeper took over the phone, she kept apologizing.

The phone kept ringing but nobody answered the call.
