While Raeleigh was on the phone, the designer in front of her asked, "Do you think it's all right to place the exits here?" She took a look at the floor plan and raised her eyebrows, then mouthed to the guy, "Hold on a second." She turned around and said to Jepherson over the phone, "Something just came up. Let's talk some other time." After she hung up, Raeleigh continued with the discussion, and she soon forgot all about her conversation with Jepherson just a few moments ago. At the other end, Jepherson put down his cell phone and pursed his lips. After rubbing the space between his eyebrows, he stood up. "Cancel the meeting this afternoon. I have something to do," he said to his secretary curtly. After leaving the office, he drove straight to where Raeleigh was. When Raeleigh saw him, she was wearing the red coat Santiago had bought for her. She was standing in front of the site holding the site's blueprint and surrounded by a group of young men o
While Raeleigh went to whip up a meal, Jepherson sat in her room and studied her drafts. In addition to her two notebooks and phone, pens, piles of papers, and drafts littered her desk. He stared at the design and thought of the other designers he had met earlier. He placed his coat aside, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and picked up a pen to help. When Raeleigh came out of the kitchen, Xanthus was drinking water while Jepherson was editing the drafts. Perhaps due to the small space, Jepherson had some difficulty focusing, but he persisted. Raeleigh put the dishes on the table and walked to Jepherson's side, staring intently at his drafts. Even though he only made some changes to the design, she could not help but admit that he had an innate talent for designing. She had struggled to come up with a solution for the design for days, but it only took him an hour to come up with a design that exceeded her expectations, She fixed
Raeleigh knew that Jepherson would be annoyed with her, but the displeasure would only be temporary. Raeleigh did not probe further to testify that. Although she could tell that Jepherson was sulky during dinner, he still drank on her behalf. Every time her teammates poured her a glass and urged her to drink, he would take the glass. For the first time, Raeleigh found out that Jepherson could hold his liquor very well indeed. He must have downed two bottles already, but he did not seem to have any reaction. At Waverly Village, there was no such thing as low-alcohol liquor. They had their own brewery, and the people in the village much preferred it over others. The boss also did not import or stock any other alcohol, not even red wine. Even if he did, a person of Jepherson's status was unlikely to consider it. As for beer, it would only be cracked open during the hot summer. No one liked drinking beer in such cold weather. Left without much choice, Jepherso
Raeleigh knew that as long as Jepherson did not leave, she would have no peace at Waverly Village. True to her expectations, Jepherson was awakened late at night by his phone ringing. On the other hand, Raeleigh had just fallen asleep. But when she heard the sound of his phone, she opened her eyes and saw Jepherson sitting up to answer the phone. She could hear a woman's voice on the other end of the line. It sounded like Stella's voice. Raeleigh did not pay close attention to his phone call. Instead, she got out of the bed and poured a glass of water for him. After he ended the call, she gave it to him. Jepherson raised his head and hesitated for a moment before taking the water. He held the cup with one hand and Raeleigh's hand with the other, pulling her to sit on his lap. At that moment, Raeleigh sensed that something must have happened. Jepherson kissed Raeleigh's ears and said, "Someone from the Doyle family came." She turned to loo
When Raeleigh and Jepherson arrived at the Richards Family, there were two luxury cars parked at the door. They did not have local car plate numbers, but the cars belonged to the Richards family. Jepherson explained to Raeleigh, "This car was designed by our family, so it's a limited edition model. After production, the first few cars were gifted to some families." "They had to be someone who had a good relationship with your family. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so generous, right?" Raeleigh had already guessed that the car was given to the Doyle family. Jepherson did not answer, indicating a silent admission. Raeleigh followed Jepherson in. The butler was shocked when he saw Jepherson. Then, he walked to Jepherson and greeted, "Mr. Jepherson." Jepherson's gaze was cold as he asked, "Who's here?" The butler glanced at Raeleigh, who was standing next to Jepherson. With his hands tightly grasped together, he said hesitantly, "Some members of the Do
Raeleigh stood by the door, wondering where Jepherson got the marriage certificate from and when he obtained it. Why did she not know anything about it? "Is this how you treat your elders?" Trevor asked. He had been waiting for Raeleigh to say something. She had stood at the door thinking about other things since she entered the door. It did not seem as if she cared about what he wanted to say. He did not know whether he should feel thankful or helpless. Seeing that Raeleigh did not say anything for such a long time, Trevor took the initiative to talk to Raeleigh. Raeleigh raised her head and looked at Trevor. She was not frightened. Instead, she asked calmly, "Did you bring me here just to question me?" Trevor was slightly stunned. He did not expect that Raeleigh would have the guts to ask such a question in front of him. Even his daughter-in-law, Jenna, did not dare to do so. Trevor recovered from his shock and looked at Raeleigh closely. When he s
Raeleigh asked Trevor, "Did something happen to you when you went there?" Trevor snapped back to reality and looked at Raeleigh. "Things went very well when we went to get the goblet. Nothing happened. Moreover, the other party was a very open-minded person. After what I said, he was willing to let us have it. "In the end, we got the bronze goblet at a relatively reasonable price. "Then, I gave it to my friend, who promised to go and save the child tomorrow. "Unfortunately, he suddenly fell ill that night and was hospitalized for appendicitis. "My friend had arranged to meet the kidnappers the next day, so I had to go in his stead. "At that time, I didn't think much about it. All I thought about was saving his child. That was the most important thing. "However, I didn't expect that the kidnappers would grab me when I got there. They even smashed the bronze goblet I brought, telling me that it was a fake. "Back then, I was still in that fi
"It's great that you two are married. I never wanted Stella to be my granddaughter-in-law anyway. Even if she isn't crippled, she's a descendant of a family of bandits. Others may be happy to have her, but I wouldn't." "However, there will always be someone better than you. They're in the dark, and we're in the open. Plus, they have something on me. From what I see, unless your grandmother and I die, this matter cannot be made public." "After we've passed, we will write a letter of self-judgment for you to announce it to the public." "The Doyle family's threat is only temporary; they can't threaten us forever." Raeleigh thought for a moment. "So you want me to pretend to put up with everything and leave the rest to you?" With that, Trevor broke into a smile and said, "You are very smart. However, there is something that's best done soon." Raeleigh frowned. "What's that?" "The priority is to get the marriage certificate done. Otherwise, it will
