Everyone's jaw dropped when Raeleigh came out from the changing room looking like a queen. "Wow!" The other stylists came in to see her. Raeleigh hurriedly placed a hand over her chest to cover her cleavage. The stylists stared blankly at Raeleigh. Suddenly, someone said, "Wow, how beautiful." Santiago, who was standing outside, said, "Get her another dress, one without a fishtail." "Mr. Santiago, this is the most beautiful dress we have. I can guarantee you that Miss Raeleigh will be the center of attention tonight." Santiago turned around and asked, "Who's the one calling the shots?" The stylist was caught off guard and took two steps backwards. "You are, but we're pressed for time. We don't have much time to make changes to the dress." Santiago stared at them. "Are you saying you're not willing to get it ready?" "Mr. Santiago, this dress took days of work from six designers to put it together. No matter how good we are, we will n
Raeleigh looked at the stylist. "Are all of you very afraid of Mr. Santiago?" "Mr. Santiago isn't as reasonable as Mr. Jepherson. He talks with his fists. If he isn't happy, he will hit us. I fractured my hand once because of him." The stylist smiled as he spoke. Raeleigh asked curiously, "You fractured your hand yet you're still smiling about it? Aren't you angry at all?" "Though Mr. Santiago is not unreasonable, he doesn't talk through problems like Mr. Jepherson. Mr. Jepherson will never get physical while Mr. Santiago is the exact opposite. If he can solve his problems with his fists, he won't talk it out." "In fact, Mr. Santiago is a good person. It's just that he's got quite the temper at times, and it's not something he can control." "As long as we don't anger Mr. Santiago, then nothing will happen." "Are you saying this because you work for him?" Raeleigh looked at the stylist strangely. She was surprised that the stylist was still defending
Raeleigh was still holding the cake but she had no way of refusing. In the end, she was pulled forward. Jepherson was dressed in black from head to toe and had a blue rose boutonni?re pinned to the lapel of his suit jacket. He walked up to the stage, picked up the microphone and greeted his guests. When he did, Everyone in the room turned to look at him. Just as Raeleigh was about to take a bite of her cake, Jepherson turned to face her and planted his lips on hers, kissing away the cream on her lips. Raeleigh immediately knew that he was up to something. "What are you up to?" "I'm going to make an announcement." Jepherson gave her a smile before turning around and looking at the guests below the stage. "Good evening, I'm delighted to announce that the Richards Group has already achieved its first quarter target. I would like to thank you for your time and effort, and for coming and celebrating with us. We look forward to your continued support for t
Raeleigh only planned to have one dance with Jepherson. However, after the first song ended, Jepherson handed her off to Santiago to continue dancing. As soon as Santiago stepped onto the dance floor, he became the topic of everyone's conversation. "Why is she wearing Mr. Santiago's jacket?" "Oh, you're right! It seems Mr. Santiago is captivated by her beauty." Although Jepherson overheard the guests talking, he remained indifferent. He even talked and laughed with the guests. After the second dance ended, Raeleigh briefly glanced at her watch to check the time as Santiago led her off the dance floor where Jepherson was already waiting for her. They walked out of the banquet hall and straight to the car. Raeleigh was exhausted and had no idea what was happening inside. Jepherson poked his head out of the car and instructed one of his men, "Go and take care of it." "Yes, Mr. Jepherson." Santiago got into the car as his men turned around an
Raeleigh stayed in A city for two days. After the dust settled, she went back with Jepherson. When they arrived at Richards Group, Jepherson got out of the car and brought Raeleigh inside. It wasn't until she had gone inside that she found out Stella had moved in. Raeleigh couldn't help but be impressed. Despite all that had happened, Stella had still moved in. It seemed that Raeleigh had some difficult times ahead. Thinking of Stella, Raeleigh recalled what had happened to Xanthus. Drug poisoning was no small matter. She turned around and went inside, leaving Jepherson behind. She didn't rest after entering the room even though she did say she was tired and sleepy. After all, she had been busy over the past couple of days. But her drowsiness faded at the thought of living under the same roof as Stella. She packed her belongings, took her suitcase and got ready to leave. When she reached the door, Jepherson happened to arrive at the door
Raeleigh walked down the street. It wasn't that she had been traumatized, she just felt a little discouraged. She didn't know what other women would do when they encountered such a situation, but she couldn't bring herself to compete with someone else for a man. She only wanted to live an ordinary life, even if it would be as tough as before. She dragged her suitcase as she walked. Santiago had been following her, and she didn't even notice that she had reached her home. Santiago stopped and looked at Raeleigh, who was walking forward in a daze. After a while, she stopped and turned around to find that she had already walked past her house. Raeleigh dragged her suitcase all the way back while Santiago fixed his gaze on her. When she stopped in front of him, he said, "I thought you were going to fly?" Raeleigh didn't even look at him. She had no energy to argue with him. Raeleigh walked into the house and gathered her energy. She shouted, "Mom, I'm back."
Raeleigh didn't want to answer, so Scarlette stopped asking in front of everyone. When she stayed at Raeleigh's that night, she asked Raeleigh what had happened that day. At first, Raeleigh just laid there without saying anything. No matter how much Scarlette asked her about it, she refused to say anything. Later, she turned around, put her arms around Scarlette and said from behind her, "If it were you, could you tolerate Hadrian bringing another woman and letting her live under the same roof as you, even if he doesn't really love her?" Scarlette was baffled for a second. She knew that there must be something going on. Sure enough, Mr. Jepherson was at it again! Scarlette held Raeleigh's hand. "Raeleigh, did you tell Mr. Jepherson that you can't live with that b*tch?" "I did but it didn't change anything." "Mr. Jepherson is so selfish." Scarlette couldn't stand it anymore. If it were Hadrian, she would have gone over and slapped him, chopped him into piec
The next day, Scarlette's wedding started splendidly. She and Hadrian came out from their residence and headed for Waverly Village. They had bought a house there, and before going there, they had to go to the local church for their ceremony to exchange their marriage vows. The whole wedding process seemed to be quite simple, but was also solemn. They had invited all the villagers. Lamar and Jazelle were the groom's witnesses whereas the bride's wedding witnesses were Hansen and Jenna. It was a great surprise to see that even Stuart attended the wedding. Scarlette was so thrilled that she drank a lot at the end of the wedding ceremony. Hadrian tried to stop her several times, but to no avail He had no choice but to carry away forcefully. After they left, two others came to the door. Jepherson, Zorion and the others were eating, and so were Hansen and Rayan. They put their enmity aside for the time being. Even though Rayan's daughter was with Jacky, it
