They did not manage to make it back to campus. Instead, Raeleigh was taken by Santiago to his villa. After entering the building, Santiago took a look at the time and saw that it was already two in the morning. He decided to call Jepherson anyway, and within an hour, Jepherson had made his way to the villa. When he entered the house, Jepherson first went to look for Santiago, who was sitting downstairs. Seeing that he was fine, Jepherson ran upstairs to find Raeleigh. Raeleigh heard someone knocking on the door and stood up to open it. It was Jepherson standing outside the door. Raeleigh froze for a moment, and Jepherson reached out to pull Raeleigh into his embrace, squeezing her hard, as if he wanted to melt and merge his body together with hers. Raeleigh remained silent the whole time. Raising her head, she fixed her eyes on the roof and raised her hands to hold Jepherson. Jepherson was breathing hard, very hard. Raeleigh knew that he was afraid and wor
Santiago glanced at the others before he smiled at Cynthia. He then turned to the old butler and said, "Let's go." The old butler was busy calming himself down. He wondered what Santiago was up to and why there was something so strange about him. Elina was left out in the cold. She turned around to look at Santiago, who had already left. She was slightly angry. The Richards family had harmed her family before. What were they doing there? Elina turned to look at her two daughters. Her eldest and second daughters were both looking towards the direction in which Santiago had left. Her second daughter's face was still somewhat red. How could she not know that she was longing for love? Elina's expression instantly darkened. "Cynthia." "Yes." Cynthia turned to look at her mother, Elina. "Mother." "Do you know who he is?" asked Elina with a dark expression. Cynthia was also a smart person. She thought for a moment and said, "I know. He's from the Richards f

She didn't dare to raise her head to look at Santiago, but her face flushed red anyway. How could the old butler not know what was going on? He wanted to stop her, but he didn't know what to say. If he didn't stop her, then it wouldn't make sense either. span What kind of person was Santiago/span? His reputation had long been ruined. Cynthia was like a moth to a flame. It was useless
Raeleigh had woken up by the time Santiago returned home. As she had overslept, she was a little anxious when she walked downstairs. She had to sit for an exam. As she contemplated, she realized that she had not been doing anything in the past week. "No worries, Jepherson will make the necessary arrangements," said Scarlette, who was standing by her side. "Nah, it s okay," Raeleigh said. "I ll sit for the exam." She glanced at Scarlette. It annoyed her that Scarlette had been perpetually lacking in independence. "Hey, Santiago, you re back," Scarlette said. She stood up the instance she saw Santiago. Giving no reply, Santiago headed straight for the kitchen to grab some snacks. He acted as if he did not see Scarlette. "Jepherson has always left some food for you," Scarlette said. Raeleigh recollected that Jepherson had instructed that some food should be allocated for Santiago when she had her meal with Jepherson a moment ago. Scarlette was right.
Raeleigh accepted the certificate. As Jepherson picked up the design blueprint, he said, "This blueprint shall remain confidential. The company will invest in its production. I wish to reiterate that under no circumstances that this blueprint be leaked. Otherwise, you ll have to face the music." Jepherson's face darkened. His sudden change of mood took Raeleigh by surprise. Everyone looked stone-faced. They were aware of the rules. If a vehicle s design would enter production, then its blueprint shall not be leaked whatsoever. Whoever leaked it would have to pay for it. The Richards family treated everyone well. Be that as it may, they would never forgive traitors and spies. Everyone knew that if it weren't for their uncompromising stance on this issue, the Richards family would not have achieved its current status in society. In other words, the Richards family would spare no expense to uncover the truth. They would go to great lengths to investigate a
"Did Santiago see the message?" Zorion asked Scarlette as he took the phone. "Yes, he did," she said. "He told us not to worry." Zorion looked at Raeleigh. As he put Scarlette s phone in his pocket, he took his phone and made a call. He then walked out of the mall. Scarlette grabbed Raeleigh by the arm and trailed after Zorion. It was a one-minute phone conversation. In less than three minutes, they walked out of the mall. More than ten cars in black could be seen parking outside. Because of the special mark on the cars windshield, they knew that those cars belonged to the Whalen family. The traffic police would refrain from interfering even if they caused a traffic congestion. They were respectable members of the society. The police had always held them in high regard. The police should not be the only entity tasked with ensuring that public security was upheld. At times, concerted effort from multiple parties was required. Zorion walked towards one of
Tongue-tied, Santiago thought that he was going to die. Deanna was still crying. A few curious onlookers were staring at them. As Zorion got out of the car, Scarlette followed suit. Raeleigh was bewildered as she got an up-close look at Santiago. "Hurry up, get to the hospital," she urged. As Raeleigh shouted, Zorion carried Deanna immediately. She clung to Santiago, refusing to let go. Eventually, she loosened her grip and Zorion was able to carry her. Thereupon, Santiago lost his balance and fell. Immediately, Raeleigh clasped him in her arms and yelled, "Santiago, Santiago." Deanna s face turned pale due to the hysterical crying. At that moment, she looked at Zorion anxiously and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?" Scarlette glanced at her and rolled her eyes. "Hadrian, help me out," Raeleigh shouted. Hadrian bent over to carry Santiago before walking towards the car. Raeleigh got into the car quickly. Agitated, she started the car immedia
It had been two days since Santiago woke up. He was still feeling dizzy. His headache had not subsided either. As he woke up, he saw Raeleigh and Jepherson by his side. The rest of the visitors had left. "How are you feeling?" Raeleigh asked. Santiago laughed and said, "Feeling groggy, of course. Haven t you seen my current state?" Raeleigh was speechless. "I was just expressing my concern," she said. Sitting at the opposite side of the ward, Jepherson s face darkened. It was at that moment that Santiago added, "I feel a little pain." Jepherson's mood had visibly improved. Raeleigh looked at Santiago and said, "Be sure to tell me immediately if you ever feel unwell." "Okay, I will." Santiago then smiled at Jepherson and said, "I'm feeling alright. You may make a move." "Nah, I'll stay here and look after you," Jepherson said. Amused, Santiago then replied, "No worries, Raeleigh s here. Go." Jepherson remained seated. Santia
