Deanna walked towards Rossie. Raeleigh stood up and said to Rossie, "I'm indebted to Zorion and Deanna. I came here today to return the money. I hope I didn't cause any misunderstandings." Rossie was smart. She knew that Raeleigh was honest from the look in her eyes. Ever since their first meeting, she knew that Raeleigh had no feelings for Zorion. However, Zorion was different. Although he had never admitted it, he'd be lying if he said he did not have feelings for her. Rossie did not want to get involved in his affairs. He had the freedom to do what he wished to. It was none of her business and she knew she would leave him eventually. Rossie continued walking down the stairs and said, "I'm heading outside to the courtyard. Please continue." It was rare for Rossie to have free time. Usually, she would not be able to go out. Rossie stepped out into the courtyard and started walking around its perimeter. The Whalen family's courtyard was huge. Although she
As soon as Santiago left, Deanna began to discuss the money with Rossie. According to Santiago, as long as either Deanna or Rossie accepted Raeleigh's bank card, it would mean that Raeleigh no longer owed the Whalen family any money. "Rossie, you have to give them back the card. If money is all you need, then I can give it to you. Let me go get it from my purse," Deanna said as she pulled Rossie's hand worriedly. However, Rossie replied, "I need this money. Your brother initially promised to give me a sum of money once we found you. He also promised that he would send me abroad, but he broke his promise. Not only was I not allowed to leave, he even forced me to sleep with him." "Deanna, if it were you, then would you be willing to stay?" Deanna was caught off guard by her question. She stared at Rossie for a long time before saying, "Even if it is so, you can't accept the money. I will ask my brother to give you back the money, alright?" Rossie shook her head. "
Raeleigh froze. Jepherson's eyes darkened as he briefly looked at the time on his watch. He then asked them, "Can you explain to me why you guys are late for class?" "There was some heavy traffic," Santiago said as he entered the lecture hall. He was stunned to see Jepherson too. Deanna was the most surprised of them all. Jacky was also in the class. Santiago made his way to his seat after he replied to him. Meanwhile, Deanna was still holding Raeleigh's arm in a daze. She was whispering into Raeleigh's ear. Raeleigh was not surprised. Elkton University was run by the Richards family, so it was not out of the ordinary for him to be here. "Let's go," Raeleigh said as she led Deanna into the lecture hall. She did not expect to see Jacky inside. Zorion obviously saw him as well, so he hesitated when walking back to his seat. When Zorion arrived at his seat, he motioned for Rossie to sit inside. He had also saved a seat for Deanna. Deanna's jaw was about
After entering the courthouse, Raeleigh grew quiet. Flynt held her wrist and dragged her into the courtroom. Although he was rough, he did not exert too much strength. Flynt had no sooner appeared than he was quickly surrounded by several people and one after another, they were clamoring to say a few things to him. Flynt said, "You don't have to tell me these things. I'm here for the trial. Everything else remains the same, end of story. She has to take responsibility for her own actions." "Yes, Mr. Moore." After replying, those people stepped back. Raeleigh turned around and looked at those pitiful people. Then, she raised her head to look at Flynt. "Do you want your sister to go to jail?" Flynt found it comical. Without even looking at Raeleigh, he said, "Yanora deliberately hurt Cynthia. I have seen this happen before, at home, when we were younger. In my family, ruthlessness is the norm, and it's every man for himself. Between two people, only one will survi
Raeleigh remained silent the whole time Novalie talked. Novalie felt tired by the time she was done. She said to Jepherson, "This is my house. You're not welcome here. Please leave." Novalie dragged Raeleigh into the room as she spoke. Once they entered the room, she heaved a sigh and said, "You should get away from here. Anywhere is better than this place. It's pointless for you to stay. It would only make things worse." Raeleigh closed the door and helped her grandmother to the bed. She sat opposite Novalie and did not speak. Novalie looked at her helplessly. "Raeleigh, you don't have to worry about me. I don't mind if you put me in a nursing home." Raeleigh shook her head. "No way." "I'm getting old. I will be a burden to you." Novalie sighed and thought that if not for herself, then Raeleigh would not have been tied down, and her future would not have been restricted. After lying down for a while, Novalie soon nodded off. Raeleigh opened the door and w
Raeleigh was pulled back by Jepherson. At that time, Santiago and Cynthia entered the room. When Marissa saw Cynthia, she snorted. "You are not welcome here. Get out now!" Marissa had not liked Cynthia even before she knew Cynthia was from the Moore family. Now that she knew, her aversion towards Cynthia had snowballed. Cynthia did not say anything as she glanced at Santiago. He asked, "I'm right here. What are you so afraid of?" Cynthia did not answer. Marissa sneered. "There's so many fish in the sea, yet why do you have to pick him of all people? Don't you know how old you are? What, are you trying to trick a kid?" Cynthia was not thick-skinned. She blushed after hearing Marissa's words. Cynthia lowered her head and did not say anything, allowing Marissa to say whatever she wanted. However, Santiago refused to stand by and do nothing. When he heard Marissa's words, he immediately said, "Grandma, if you don't like me, then it's fine, but you cannot
Marissa was stunned when she saw Jepherson fall onto the ground. She pointed towards the ground before passing out on the couch herself. Raeleigh hurried over to check on Jepherson. She called out his name but he did not respond. Stuart quickly called the driver to bring the car over and sent both Jepherson and Marissa to the hospital. As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Jepherson was immediately rushed into the emergency room. Raeleigh waited outside. Marissa was the first to regain consciousness and immediately requested to see Jepherson. Then, the nurse helped her to the emergency room. However, when she saw Raeleigh, she immediately reached out and slapped her. It was so sudden that it caught Raeleigh off guard. She held her face in her hands and looked at Marissa, who was sneering. "This is for you. Now get the h*ll out!" Raeleigh frowned and glanced at the door of the emergency room. "I'm not going to leave until I know that he is alright." "Qui
Raeleigh was fetched by Flynt as soon as she came out of the hospital. She didn't intend to get into the car, but Flynt refused to leave and kept on waiting. She had no idea what made her enter the car, but she did feel a wave of guilt wash over her after she got into the car. However, what could she have done then? "Did you have an argument with Jepherson because of me?" Flynt asked Raeleigh while driving. Raeleigh leaned back in her seat and stared into space. Part of her attire had been torn, so she kept her hands on it to make sure it stayed intact. Flynt noticed the bruise on her face, but did not question her. Soon, they arrived at the entrance to Flynt's villa. Raeleigh looked outside and said, "Send me home, please." "Aren't you afraid that your grandmother and Xanthus would get worried when they see the bruise on your face?" Flynt got out of the car and opened the door for Raeleigh. She took a quick look around and noticed that the sky was already dark. She d
