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
Raeleigh had only taken a few bites before her phone rang. She took out her phone and looked at the screen. "I'm going back now." The call was from Jacky, who hadn't spoken at all. Raeleigh ended the call. "Perhaps, Jepherson has gone back. Xanthus is calling me. I must go back now." Raeleigh put away her phone and looked at Flynt, who then stood up. "This is our only enjoyable date. It's a pity that it has to end too soon." Flynt stood opposite Raeleigh. She remained silent for a moment, and she then said, "If you go abroad in the future, then call me. I'll treat you to a meal." Flynt's gaze was fixed on her. "I'd prefer if you stayed here rather than go abroad." Raeleigh kept quiet until Flynt said, "You can leave now. I'll see you off." "There's no need for that, I came by taxi. I'll get a cab to leave as well." Raeleigh turned around and trotted outside. Flynt walked her to the intersection. There, Raeleigh swiveled back to Flynt to t
Raeleigh and Jacky hit the bar. She had dressed up beforehand. To disguise herself, she wore a tight suit, revealing her thighs, and got herself an afro hairstyle into the mix. It was winter, which made her feel extremely cold in such an outfit. She only took off her cardigan and put it in the car right before emerging from the car. Jacky stared at her through the rearview mirror. Notwithstanding his admiration for Raeleigh's wisdom and beauty, he was rendered speechless by her disguise. She dressed up like a little imp foraging for food. If Santiago saw her current appearance, then Santiago would probably kill him first. That day, Jacky drove a taxi. Pushing open the car door, Raeleigh got off. Jacky instantly called his men. "Protect the person who got out of the car. Otherwise, you'll have me to answer to." "Yes, Mr. Jacky." They took the order and began to keep an eye on Raeleigh. It was the first time for Raeleigh to wear such killer
Just when Raeleigh was scrambling for a solution, several people walked towards her. Raeleigh leaned against the wall, worrying if they were coming after her. They were gradually closing in on her. Meanwhile, she discovered that these people were preventing others from getting close to her. Feeling uneasy, she took out her phone. If something was about to happen, then she had to inform Jacky in an instant. Otherwise, it would be too late if it did. She was ready to dial the number when she received a call. The phone vibrated. Raeleigh lifted her hand to take a look. It was Jacky. She answered immediately. "Stay under the radar. Leave it to us and retreat right now. We'll handle what's going to happen next." "I won't leave until I see Santiago." She couldn't bring herself to leave like this. What if they couldn't save Santiago? When a person fret so much over another person, their intelligence would diminish over and over again. Raeleigh w
Before the bouncer left, he glanced at Raeleigh for a while, saying, "Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen to you." "I have money. I'll let you study as you wish." With that, he closed the door and left. Raeleigh gazed at the doorway before she took out her phone to send a text message to Jacky, telling him that he should send in another group of men because his first batch had gotten into trouble, and that she couldn't rescue Santiago as his bones had been fractured. "Later, I'll go down to find the switchboard and turn it off. Pandemonium will erupt in the bar while the guards at the basement will face difficulties too since there's no electricity, and the elevator will be out of order. I will find a way to go down. Wait for me outside." "Don't be reckless. Wait for my people to go in. As long as we confirm that Santiago is in the basement, there will be no problem." Raeleigh stood up without answering. She could not wait any longer.
