"Yeah, now." Hanging up, Santiago raced his car to Raeleigh's house. Upon arrival, he got out of the car and went in to find Cynthia, who had yet to change her clothes. "Get changed and let's go," Santiago said decisively. Cynthia chewed on it for a moment before she turned to take her coat and went out with Santiago. While she was in the car, she said, "I don't think it's the right time for us to hang out." "There is nothing right or wrong about it. Look, you've been busy for a week, and you owe this timeout to yourself." Santiago cracked a smile. At first, Cynthia wanted to tell him that she hadn't done much, but the words remained unspoken. He sped to a jewelry shop, got out of the car, and went in to purchase a diamond bracelet for Cynthia. She said that she did not want it as it was too lavish a gift. Notwithstanding her objection, he still made the payment and let her put it on before he turned around and left the shop. Cynthia chas
Silence descended upon Raeleigh. She turned around and went back to the villa. Never again did she give her actions and emotions away, nor did she bring up again the subject of leaving Richards Group. On that same note, however, she didn't produce any pieces of work, and Richards Group didn't bother her either. Raeleigh rested for two days and was ready to attend the lectures in the university. "Raeleigh, are you really going to attend the lectures?" Deanna had bought a lot of delicious food for Raeleigh early in the morning. Recently, Deanna had been spending her time in leisure and hadn't been attending any lectures. Rossie came to her house, and her brother no longer stayed by her side every day. Sometimes, she felt that she had fallen out of her brother's favor. Nevertheless, she was still quite happy that her brother had taken a liking to someone. It was just that she couldn't put up with his behavior of overstaying his welcome in Rossie's room. After all, Rossie
"Is Raeleigh dying?" Looking at Raeleigh's back from a distance, Deanna pouted and felt weepy. At first, Scarlette wanted to admonish Deanna, but her words were stuck in her throat when she saw Deanna's doleful expression. Seeing how Raeleigh lived like a zombie, Scarlette couldn't be cheerful either. It was just that Jepherson had disappeared without leaving a message. She could neither understand it, nor could she accept it. Raeleigh sauntered for a short time before she found a secluded spot and sat under a tree. In fact, it was pretty quiet that season. Yet, Raeleigh felt that only a place out of everyone's sight could offer the real quiet and tranquility she yearned for. The moment she sat down on the ground, Santiago took off his jacket and threw it to her. "Sit on this." Raeleigh took a look at the clothes on her lap but didn't heed his words. She didn't think it was a good idea to sit on a man's clothes. She gave only the slightest glance bef
Scarlette still had not emerged out of the car after Hadrian had waited for a long time. He went to her side, raised his hand, and rapped on the door, but she remained seated in the car. He opened the door and went in, staring at her. "Are you coming out or not?" Scarlette pulled a long face as she stared at him. "We agreed to go home. Why would you come here?" Annoyance was written all over her face. "Then, I'll carry you down." Hadrian bent over, intending to lift Scarlette into his arms. She dodged to the side, refusing to let him carry her. However, Hadrian seemed to have anticipated her reaction. He held her hand and pulled her over. When she was in his arms, he got out of the car and put her down. Subsequently, he held her wrist with one hand and closed the car door with the other. After that, he turned around and pulled her towards the restaurant. She didn't want to go in. She stood outside and struggled, but she was weaker than him in terms o
"The relationship between my sister and you is another story. I don't want to interfere with her choice. But you... you may be a member of the Richards family, but you can't alter the outcome of this matter." "By killing a person, you have transgressed the law. And by doing that, your man must pay for it. You should understand it." Flynt sneered. "However, you're from the Richards family, and I can give you some time to talk to your people. Mr. Santiago, I believe that you won't aid and abet in a murder, or will you?" "Because that sounds like something the likes of you will usually do. We haven't committed any murder. Hence, we don't need to deceive anybody. If your obscurity troubles you so much that you can't help being an attention seeker, then I can lend you a hand. Might I suggest making your glorious 'achievements' the talk of the town?" "Are you threatening me?" Flynt smirked. "Uh-oh, I'm only offering help to settle things. You'd better not forget who y
Arriving at the villa, Raeleigh sat downstairs. It was not very late. They went to the police station and came back very soon. Actually, it didn't take much time. She was waiting for Santiago to come back to inquire about Hadrian's matter. Scarlette was also feeling on edge about it. Xanthus and Cynthia didn't rest either. When they saw Raeleigh and Scarlette come back, they both sat down in the living room. Santiago came in from the door. It wasn't until he sat down that Raeleigh started asking, "Is Hadrian in hot water? Did someone really die?" "The waiter is dead for sure." Santiago sat down, picked up an orange, and began peeling it. Raeleigh gasped. "Seriously?" "Otherwise, why was Flynt so arrogant?" When speaking of Flynt, derision was written all over Santiago's face. Cynthia blanched when she heard what he said. Santiago then added, "Cynthia, you shouldn't consider yourself one of them. You didn't do anything other than bearing the same fami
Raeleigh shut her eyes, ruminating for a while. To tell the truth, she shouldn't have come here. If she had not come, then those numerous distressing events might not have transpired in the first place. She felt that with fame came trouble, and it was also courtesy of these troubles that she had wound up in her current state. It would be great, she thought, if she could leave here and return to her original life. Rousing from his dream, Jepherson gasped. He got up and went to take the medicine for his heart disease. After taking it, any hint of grogginess was cleared away. He put on some clothes and stood by the glass window, gazing out at the outside world. It was still the original place, and the city was still colorful, but it was ironically unpleasant to him. He looked up at the ceiling, which was decked like a starry sky. Back then, when he worked together with Raeleigh to design it, he had liked it so much that he couldn't phrase his satisfaction. But righ
"How is he?" Raeleigh felt conflicted. Their relationship had ended, but she couldn't help caring about Jepherson's health condition. Jepherson slowly raised his head to look at Santiago while he continued to say, "He didn't sleep last night, so he is still asleep now." After a brief silence, Raeleigh replied, "Has he seen a doctor?" "Yes, but it did not help much. I won't be going back today, perhaps tomorrow too. Scarlette can accompany you. Don't get out of the house today." "I don't need anybody to keep me company." "I am going to hang up now." Jepherson stopped him just as he was about to end the call. He placed his hand on the phone. However, Raeleigh had already ended the call. A beeping tone came from his phone, indicating that the call had ended. Only then did Jepherson slowly withdraw his hand. "So what if she is our sister? If you can't overcome this mental barrier, is that still considered love? You should instead use it to pr
