Johan was perceptive enough to know what Jepherson was trying to convey. Nonetheless, he did not bother responding to his remarks. Otherwise, he would have fallen right into his trap. Nonetheless, he knew that Jepherson would not leave unless the Moore family came clean about what they had done. Jepherson then glanced at Santiago and said, "Well, since our visit isn t welcomed, let me be frank and tell things straight from me then. We ll leave afterwards." The old butler glanced at Johan before directing his gaze at the two siblings. He had a feeling that there was more to what Jepherson said. He had only just scratched the surface. "Old Master hasn t been well," the old butler said. "The doctor has told us that his memory is deteriorating. He would need to rack his brains to recall what has happened." The old butler glanced at Johan as he spoke. However, he remained silent. Jepherson smirked. "Well, so the butler is apparently the one calli
As Jepherson and Santiago walked out of the Moore family s home, they each got into their own cars. Jepherson then sped off. Santiago hurried after him. From expressways to local streets, the two siblings went about racing each other. Jepherson led the high-speed car chase as he drove to the top of a hill. Refusing to concede defeat, Santiago tried to play catch-up. He stopped when he was a dozen or so meters away from Jepherson. Then, he got out of the car. As they reached the top of the hill, Jepherson looked for somewhere to sit. Santiago followed suit. The two siblings did not talk. They sat there for a while. As it was getting late, Santiago yawned and said he was feeling drowsy. They then made a move. When they arrived at the foot of the hill, Jepherson told Santiago, "Head to the school and pick Raeleigh up. Let's go for a meal." "Why don't you go?" Santiago said as he leaned back in his seat. "Well, can you cook us a meal then?" Jepherson asked. "
Now that Raeleigh had received the ring and the bracelet, a sense of unease crept up on her. Even though she had expressly informed Jepherson that she was not after fame and fortune, his proposal somehow caught her off guard. She felt that he was rather self-serving in that he did as he pleased and did not consider her feelings. In other words, as long as it made him happy, he would go public with their relationship. A few people could be seen sitting in the living room on the first floor. Raeleigh was sitting beside Jepherson while he was chatting with Santiago. Raeleigh stood up and went upstairs. Since she would not be returning to her home, she went upstairs to have a rest. She wanted to collect herself too. A few moments later, Jepherson went upstairs. As soon as he went into the room, he saw Raeleigh looking pensive as she fell into a daze. Jepherson closed the door and walked towards Raeleigh. He wrapped his arms around her waist. Then, he lowered h
Soon afterwards, Scarlette was back. She put the pair of black sneakers on the floor. Santiago waved at Raeleigh. "Come here." Raeleigh had no idea what he was up to. When she came closer, Santiago held onto her shoulder as he put on his sneakers. He treated Raeleigh as if she were mere railings in order to keep his balance. Raeleigh gave him a grumpy look. She looked unusually annoyed. After putting on his shoes, Santiago did some warm up exercises. Then, he made his way to the basketball court. Raeleigh and Scarlette tagged along. There was quite a commotion when they reached the court. Everyone was cheering for Santiago. A sea of onlooking crowds could be seen encircling the court at that moment. "Take a seat," Santiago said as he motioned Raeleigh and Scarlette to head to the seating area. The girls glanced around the court. Then, they made their way to the seating area. Quite a number of players could be seen standing at the court by then. Raele
Santiago had been playing half-heartedly since the second half of the game commenced. He had been losing control of the ball whenever he dribbled. The score had been fifty-six to twenty-one. In a short span of time, the opposing team was able to catch up. The current score was then fifty-six to fifty-five. Like a cat on a hot tin roof, the PE teacher was agitated at that moment. He directed his pointer at Santiago, as if grumbling about how he had been messing up. However, he did not reprimand him directly. After all, his family owned Elkton University. Having had to suppress his anger, he was therefore not in a good state of mind. Raeleigh could not help but to be amused to find the PE teacher rubbing his forehead whenever Santiago lost control while dribbling. Had she not been worrying, she would have laughed out loud. Now that the opposing team was only one point behind, the PE teacher did not say anything, but the coach yelled, "Hey, Santiago. What s wrong with y
Deanna was excited to learn that Santiago had never had a girlfriend. Exhilarated, she chimed in, "Well, Santiago isn t exactly a brat. He s saved my life." "Of course he's not a brat. The Whalens and the Richards have known each other for the longest time. Both of you were childhood friends who grew up together. Naturally, he won't turn his back on you when you re in danger." "Really?" Deanna said. She looked skeptical. "Yes, absolutely," Raeleigh said. "Raeleigh, could you please do me a favor?" Deanna said blushingly. "Find out what kind of girls Santiago likes." Raeleigh wondered how Deanna would react if she came to know that Santiago was in a romantic relationship with Cynthia. "Oh, you poor thing. What have you got yourself into," she thought. Raeleigh paused for a while and said, "Sure. But it will take time though. I ve got to find an opportunity." "No biggie. Be sure to find out..." Deanna remained silent afterwards. As she bit her lips
Agitated, Deanna almost burst into tears as she received the call. "They ve agreed to join us for dinner, so why didn't they come?" Deanna thought. "Zorion, does Santiago hate me?" Deanna said. "Is that the reason he refuses to join us for dinner?" She had a bee in her bonnet. After all, she could tell that Santiago did not quite take a liking to her. Zorion walked towards Deanna and playfully pinched her cheek. "No worries," he said. "It has got nothing to do with you. I guess something came up. Let's head to the dormitory later to find out what happened. In the meantime, let s dig in. We ll get some food for them in a bit." Deanna felt much better after Zorion consoled her. She then turned around and started digging in. After that, she ordered some food for Raeleigh. As darkness set in, boys were prohibited from entering the women's dormitories. There were exceptions to every rule though, as Santiago could be seen lingering in Raeleigh s dormitory. A
After the car pulled up, Raeleigh raised her head to marvel at the Richards Group s skyscraper office building. It was her first time here. She was surprised to find many luxury cars parked by the side of the building. Raeleigh clasped her laptop in her arms as she got out of the car. Jepherson glanced at Stuart, signalling him to help Raeleigh. Immediately, Stuart walked towards Raeleigh and extended his arms. "Miss Anson, let me carry the laptop," he said. Raeleigh handed the laptop to Stuart. Then, she lowered her head and looked at her clothes. She was relieved to find that she was decently dressed in a formal business suit. Otherwise, she would not be able to leave a good first impression. Now that she was here at the company, she knew that she would be taking part in the production of Phantasy Dream. It would be her first day working officially at the Richards Group. Considering this, it would be unbecoming of her if she were to leave a bad impression on her co
