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
Santiago twitched. As his lips itched, he lifted his hand and wiped it. This terrified Deanna. Immediately, she put her hand behind her back as she shook her head, as if subconsciously trying to assert that she was not the one who touched his lips. It just so happened that Scarlette walked past the ward. As she saw Deanna s overwrought expression, she wondered if she had gone hysterical again. Deanna took a seat, pretending that nothing happened as she waited for Raeleigh and the rest to return to the ward. Santiago was still asleep. Raeleigh brought some chicken porridge while Zorion was carrying a fruit basket. Jepherson came back empty-handed. Scarlette had a feeling that Deanna was not mentally sound. She grabbed hold of Raeleigh s arm and whispered in her ear. "Stop making a fuss over this issue," Raleigh said as she shrugged her off. She then walked towards Deanna and handed her the chicken porridge. "Dig in while it s still hot," she said.
As she walked out of the ward, Raeleigh made her way to the staircase. She did not like taking the elevator. As she stopped at the entrance of the staircase, she was bewildered to find Zorion tagging along. "Are you alright?" Zorion asked. "Left something in the ward, huh?" Raeleigh shook her head and said, "Nah. Anyway I m not leaving yet." Instantly, she felt bad. She thought that she had intentionally created a window of opportunity for Deanna. She looked at Zorion and said, "I'm meeting Scarlette. You don't have to keep me company." Scarlette was standing at the entrance of the ward. She walked towards Raeleigh the moment she saw her. "I want to buy something," Raeleigh said. "Come along with me." "Let's go," Scarlette said. "It just so happens that I want to buy something too." She then took Raeleigh by the arm and walked towards the staircase. With hands in his pockets, Zorion stood and watched as Raeleigh left. When she was out of sight, he turned
