Chapter 749 The Products Have All Been Tampered With

Curtis perused the report and saw that the substances were the same. “It seems that Rayna's hypothesis stands up.”

“It's clear that a comprehensive internal investigation is needed at Glory. Jasmine did it once previously, but I now suspect that it wasn't conducted thoroughly.” Jeremy suggested, “Now that you and Rayna are back, it'd be more convenient for you two to handle it yourselves.”

“Mmm-hmm. I'll deal with it.” Curtis put the report away and stared grimly out the window at the first light of dawn.

When Rayna woke up and realized she was in the Faymon residence, she pulled the covers aside and got out of bed.

The moment she opened the door, the nanny approached with the children in her arms.

As it had been a long while since she last saw her children, Rayna swiftly took her daughter from the nanny's arms. “Xareni, do you miss me?”

Carrying Xareni, she returned to her bedroom while the nanny followed her with Yosef and Yelena in her arms.

No sooner had the two little ones been laid on the bed than they crawled toward their mother. With their outstretched arms, all of them were yearning for a hug.

Rayna hugged them one after another and had to do so for two rounds straight.

“Where's Curtis?” she asked the nanny when she recalled that she had not seen Curtis since she awoke. However, the nanny simply responded with a shake of her head.

After playing with the children for some time, Rayna got the nanny to carry them out for breakfast while she went into the bathroom to wash up.

Linda was playing with the children in the living room when Rayna walked down the stairs. The sight of her daughter brought tears to her eyes.

Rayna approached her mother and gave her a hug. “Mom, I'm back. Don't cry.”

Linda nodded as she wiped her tears away with a tissue. “Roxanne went filming and isn't back yet.”

“It's all right. I can always see her when she comes home,” Rayna reassured her mother.

Just then, Alfred arrived at the living room from upstairs with the butler's support. When he saw Rayna carrying the children, he greeted her with a smile, “Rayna, do you feel any discomfort?”

The young woman shook her head.

After the housekeeper served breakfast on the dining table, the three of them prepared to head to the dining room when the roar of a car engine was heard from the yard.

Stopping in her tracks to look out the window, Rayna was greeted by the sight of Curtis getting out of

the car.

The moment he entered the house, he went over to her side and planted a kiss on her forehead. “Did you manage to sleep well?”

Rayna nodded. “Join us for breakfast.”

Curtis waited for the nanny to take the children from Rayna's arms, then led her to the dining room.

Sitting at the dining table, Alfred asked, “Have you come home for good this time, or are you only staying for a few days?”

Upon hearing his question, Rayna threw Curtis a glance. She did not know how to answer.

“We'll be staying for the time being as there's an ample supply of medication. We'll only need to return when we're running short.” Holding Rayna's hand, Curtis gave her a reassuring look, to which she nodded.

“I told the housekeeper to prepare the medicine. Remember to take it later.” Linda regarded Rayna with a look of concern.

While grunting in acknowledgment, Rayna snuck intermittent glances at the man seated beside her. Despite Curtis' calm countenance, she was still unable to rest easy.

After breakfast, Rayna suggested a visit to Glory to check on the situation there. Naturally, Curtis agreed to it and accompanied her to the office.

Along the journey to the office, she saw many outdoor display screens on skyscrapers reporting on the incident related to Glory's products.

“Did you go to the office earlier?” Rayna asked as she turned to look at Curtis. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Yeah. I went to the office and the research base.” While speaking, he retrieved a document from the glove compartment and handed it to her. “Take a look at this. It's the comparison report between the substance mixed into Glory's products and the one found on the flower petal in Ashley's house.”

After casually flipping through a few pages of the document, Rayna set it aside. “It looks like Ashley is the biggest problem. The flowers in Cassidy's house were big but contained no foreign substances. Serekos were in the soil, so the soil's properties are the only things that changed,” she stated flatly.

A beat later, she asked, “Is there any news from the residence? Have they found Yasmin and Yuna yet?”

“Both of them have been sent to Andrew's place, so there's no one else but the bodyguards at the residence,” Curtis replied.

His words caused Rayna to sigh. “Just as expected, Yuna is still siding with Mr. Zeller. I wonder how Cassidy is doing now.”

Soon, their car gradually came to a stop in Glory's underground parking lot. Once the couple exited the vehicle, they took the elevator upstairs.

The elevator stopped on the eighteenth floor. Just as Rayna was about to step out, she ran into a female employee.

The already frantic-looking employee panicked further at the sight of Rayna. “I'm sorry, Ms. Garland. I didn't see you coming,” she said, apologizing profusely.

Rayna waved her hands as she exited the elevator. Thereafter, she turned around to glance at the sign marking the elevator for her private use. Once she was certain of the fact, she questioned, “Do you use this elevator during normal times?”

The color drained from the female employee's face. “I... No...” she stuttered in palpable panic.

When Curtis emerged from the elevator behind Rayna, he trained his sharp eyes on the female employee. “What's that document you're carrying?”

The employee's hand that was holding the document instantly stiffened. Cautiously, she raised her eyes to look at Curtis and Rayna. “This is from the R&D department.”

“The R&D department? No one is allowed to take documents out of there. Why do you have it? They have a huge office and their own archives, so what are you doing with this document?” Rayna questioned calmly.

The employee stammered, “T-This... is... for the tests...”

No sooner had Rayna heard the word “testing” than she snatched the document over. After skimming a few pages, she eyed the employee with a solemn look. “Are you bringing this to your next employer or trying to sell it yourself?”

The document turned out to be a record of the past products Glory had developed.

“I...” The employee dropped to her knees from fear. “I'm sorry, Ms. Garland. I... This document... I just need money. Someone told me to bring this over, and they'll pay me a sum in return. I want my child to receive medical treatment...”

The employee's act of bemoaning made Rayna smirk. After cocking a brow at Curtis, she walked past him and continued forward.

Behind her, Curtis whipped out his phone to make a call. Soon, someone arrived to escort the female employee downstairs.

With the document in hand, Rayna headed straight to the laboratory. When she saw the employees working inside the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, she was momentarily stunned.

Curtis came up from behind her. “We have to interrogate her.”

“Yeah,” Rayna replied. “Nowadays, people like to use children as an excuse when caught red- handed...”

Having detected the sarcasm in her tone, Curtis smiled. “I'm surprised you were able to see through her convincing act.”

“As a mother, I can tell from a woman's vibe if she's also one,” she explained, placing the document in his grip. “I'm going in to take a look. You should wait outside.”

Before Curtis could suggest that they enter together, Rayna had already walked off.

After putting on a cleanroom suit, she pushed open the doors to the laboratory. “How are the tests coming along?”

At the sound of her voice, the employees turned around to look at her. Once they ascertained it was Rayna, a few came forth to hug her, but she stopped them and gestured for them to continue with their work on hand.

“Someone has tampered with our G-range products with an unknown element.” One of the members of the R&D team approached her and handed her a tablet.

Rayna read the report intently. “Does this element have any effect on human skin?”
