After Seibert left the office, Raeleigh quickly closed the door and pulled Santiago away. "Are you crazy?" Santiago walked to the other side of the room and sat down. Then, he called the cleaner. "Come and clean up." Raeleigh frowned in confusion. She turned around and stared at him. "Why on Earth did you do that?" He put down the phone and answered, "He hit Stuart. So, why can't I hit him?" "You're unreasonable." Raeleigh's face turned darker as she glared at him. He narrowed his eyes as he recalled the incident when he was a child. Stuart had almost died that time. He was in a coma for a few days. "Please don't meddle in men's business in the future, Raeleigh," Santiago said coolly. He opened his eyes and stared at the furious Raeleigh. "My grudge against him has nothing to do with Jepherson, but he is Jepherson's subordinate. Jepherson will call me to ask what's going on." "You're wrong for hitting him." Raeleigh was so furious, and she did not kn
Raeleigh lifted her gaze and stared at Xanthus. Of course, she knew about this. However, she already made her decision. She thought of something else. She looked at Xanthus and asked, "Will you get angry if I want to rob you?" Xanthus had a funny expression. "Why would you suddenly think of this question?" "Nothing. I just want to know the answer." "I will give you anything you like. After all, I only have one sister. If I don't, then I will feel bad." Xanthus chuckled, but Raeleigh asked, "What about the items you treasure the most? The items that you only want to keep for yourself?" Xanthus thought for a moment, and he then answered, "I will." Raeleigh smiled. She went to wash her hands, and she then came back to lie down on the bed. "How is Stuart?" "Stuart is fine. You should rest. He can already talk, although his speech is still unclear. His condition is stable now." "That's great. Are you going to visit him tonigh
When Jenna came out of the ward, Hansen, Jepherson, and Santiago were discussing outside. She paused and watched them at the door. She looked at Hansen, and she then walked over and sat beside him on the bench. Jenna never wanted things to come to this. After all, Marissa was their family, and she was an elderly. Even if she did something wrong, they should not go for her. However, they could not indulge her just because she was an elderly. Raeleigh was innocent. There was no reason for Marissa to do such a thing. "What do you want to say to Grandma? Are you going to talk about Raeleigh?" Jenna needed to know the answers then. Hansen yawned. "Since you're all sleepy, then let's go back to sleep. Don't lose your sleep because of this. Mother and I are going to rest too." He stood up and pulled her with him. She was not a fool. She knew they did not want her to know what happened. That was why he was acting like this. Jepherson and Santiago took
Marissa grew furious as she lay helpless in her room. Meanwhile, cries for mercy came from outside the room, and they sounded worse than a pig being butchered. Everyone in Marissa's room was frightened. They were all present when Marissa gave instructions to the men. Now that they were all grounded, those who hired the men and gave her the idea would be punished together later. The thought of being punished scared them. Marissa sat unmoving the whole time, but her facial expression seemed miserable. She could not believe that after caring for Jepherson for so many years, he would point the gun at her in the end. Jepherson... Well, isn t he such a good grandson? Was he going to kill her? She clenched her hands into fists, and her face blanched. Outside... "Mr. Jepherson, Mr. Jepherson! Please spare my life." The two men kneeled on the ground, their bodies badly bruised. It was freezing cold outside. Kneeling outside under such weather was
Santiago drove away. As he drove, he received a message. He gave it a cursory glance before heading towards his destination. When he emerged from the car, he looked around. There was nothing special there. Santiago proceeded to approach the entrance of a cafe and lingered there for a while. After surveying it from outside, he walked in. It was not very large. It was just a medium-sized cafe. After entering, Santiago found a seat where he could observe the other tables. Then, he sat down and ordered a cup of coffee. A waitress came over to serve it. Santiago tipped her and inquired, "When did you start working here?" The waitress was a beautiful girl. She was wearing a black uniform, and her makeup was exquisite. The moment Santiago walked in, she noticed him. She was thrilled that Santiago asked her something. She replied, "I've worked here for more than half a year. Sir, is there something I can help you with?" "Nothing in particular. A pretty girl
When Raeleigh got to know that something had gone awry, it was already a day later. Raeleigh had a strange feeling when Santiago did not come back. She called Jepherson, who told her that they were looking for Santiago. That was when Raeleigh knew that something was seriously amiss. "Didn't you get some people to protect Santiago yesterday?" In response to Raeleigh's question, Jepherson fell silent. Raeleigh thought it over. "Why didn't you search for him earlier? I told you that something might happen to him. Aren't the two of you brothers?" Raeleigh never wanted to lose her temper, but sometimes, she could not control it. In the end, Raeleigh said nothing. She hung up right away. Jepherson was sitting inside a car. After Raeleigh hung up, he took a look at his phone before his eyes landed on Seibert, who was sitting in front of him. "Still no news regarding Santiago?" "Not yet." Jepherson looked outside. His gaze swirled with chilliness
After she was done with her preparations, Raeleigh went to the lobby of the hospital. Xanthus accompanied her to wait for Jacky. Jacky stopped his car at the entrance and got out. He was slightly staggered when he saw Raeleigh. He hadn't expected her to dress that way. After sizing her up, Jacky opened the car door of the backseat and gestured for Raeleigh to go in. Xanthus walked over. His gaze landed on Jacky and he said, "Sorry for the trouble." "I'm not doing it for you. That number you dialed is my private number which only a few people have. The fact that you called me meant that Santiago had told you to come to me in the event of any mishap. I'm doing it to help Santiago." Jacky stood aside, dressed in all-black and looking entirely composed. He radiated an aura of coldness, similar to Santiago. Raeleigh also stood there and gazed at them for a short while before she bent down to get into the car. Then, she peered at the two people outside the car,
Raeleigh lowered her head, remembering her main purpose of coming here. "I actually came here with a purpose today." Raeleigh lifted her head to gaze at Flynt, who then questioned, "What is it?" "I'm here to bid farewell to you." Raeleigh thought that she should come up with a reasonable excuse for visiting him. In addition, the excuse had to be one which would move him, so that he'd let his guard down. After all, she had come very abruptly. Surely enough, Flynt froze for a moment when he heard Raeleigh's reply. What followed was another question. "What for? Are you going abroad?" Raeleigh nodded. "I'm going to Everland or Europe. Xanthus wants to take me there. We won't be coming back." Flynt was flabbergasted for a while. Then, he gave a few coughs. His eyes were filled with disbelief. Concurrently, Raeleigh stood up and sauntered around the room while saying, "I can't accept Jepherson's idea of loving me. He wants to imprison me. He even ask
