After finishing the work in the office, Jepherson handed the document to Horacio and stood up. Raeleigh looked at the bracelet that had returned to her wrist and followed Jepherson. Leaving the president's office, she stopped him, "Hold up." Jepherson hadn't strode away either; he was waiting for her. "I'm not going anywhere." Raeleigh fell silent for a moment; he made it sound like she was desperate to follow him. "Take this off, so you don't have to take me with you whenever you need it." She stretched out her hand to him, and he took a look at it. "Raeleigh, have you heard of albatross?" Raeleigh frowned. "What does this have to do with albatross?" "Albatross is a monogamous bird. If one dies, the partner will follow; it will stick to its deceased partner and starve itself to death." "I'm like that too. I will only ever love one person in my life; this bracelet is the keepsake of our love. Unless I die, I will never take it off you."
"Hello, Mr. Richards and Miss Raeleigh." Colston came to have lunch when he saw the Richards family's car outside. He paid attention after entering, and sure enough, Raeleigh and Jepherson were inside, so he came over to greet them. Raeleigh had met them before, so she stood up. Louisa cracked a smile. "Long time no see." Raeleigh saw that Jepherson had also stood up. "What a coincidence." "Indeed. But we're bound to meet sooner or later. I've been looking for a chance to talk to you, but who would've thought I'd bump into you here." "I'm not following," Jepherson replied bluntly. Colston didn't intend to beat about the bush either. "I wanted to talk to you about your conflict with Flynt." Recalling he had gone to the countryside to look for Flynt some time ago, Jepherson said indifferently, "If it's about this, you'd better save your breath. No one can touch my woman. He had hired people to harm her so that he could play the damsel in di
Raeleigh only caught a glimpse of Yanora. She dawned a black outfit, walking toward the campus gates while t men pushed Raeleigh to another route. Raeleigh wanted to call out for help, but there was nobody around. Raeleigh and Rossie had purposely chosen this time to avoid being seen by the other students and becoming the subject of gossip, but who would've thought Yanora would use it to abduct her. Raeleigh kept looking back as the men pushed her out of campus. As they were nimble, she was in a car in two shakes. Yanora cast a glance at her as Raeleigh sat, casting a sinister smile. She faced away to remove the black veil from her face, then looked back at Raeleigh, rendering her astounded. There was a deep gash on half of Yanora's face as if someone had lacerated it with a sharp knife. It was not a sight to behold. It was the first time Raeleigh had seen such a disfigured face that she stared at it blankly. Subsequently, she lowered her eyes, belie
Santiago came out of campus to look for Raeleigh immediately. Zorion called home for help; Rayan had wanted to stay out of this matter, but when he heard Raeleigh had been kidnapped, he lent his men to Zorion. When Jepherson heard the news, he shot out of bed and headed out while putting on his coat. Xanthus searched high and low for his sister but to no avail. However, he found Raeleigh's guards, who had been covertly protecting her, passed out nearby campus. "What should we do?" Rossie held Zorion's hand tightly, and Zorion shook his head. "I don't know, but we need to find the kidnapper. Otherwise, things can turn bad very quickly." Rossie fell silent, and she didn't look too good either. This wouldn't have happened if she didn't run away. "It's not your fault; this is obviously long premeditated. It's our fault that we didn't protect you two." Zorion held Rossie in his arms. "How am I to live if something does happen to her?" Rossie bit her lip.
"Old Master Johan." After Colston left, Elina called out to Johan, leading him to glance at her and wave his hand. Elina had no choice but to leave. When Elina left, Johan laid down and said with great effort, "I don't know why but I've been feeling groggy, and I can't breathe properly." "Please don't say that, Old Master Johan. Your health has always been in the pink," Ronard said, but Johan shook his head. "I know my body well." Ronard wiped his tears. He also felt that Johan's health was worsening by the day, but he couldn't put his finger on it. The outsiders thought Johan's health was poor, but he knew the old master had been fine. However, in the past month, his condition was getting worse by the day. "Ronard, after I die, you'll have to assist Thorin. This family cannot be left to Colston. He wants to be on good terms with the Richards family wholeheartedly, but this is not what I want. Flynt can't be the head of the Moore family anymore
Meanwhile, Santiago was still searching and roaming around the north side of Capital City. He had been searching all this while, but there was no sign of her. Frustrated, he slammed his phone onto the ground, shattering it into pieces. When Jacky's car arrived, Santiago was getting on his motorcycle to continue the search. Jacky's men tried to stop him, but he rushed past them without a single hesitation. At this point, Jepherson had already turned the city upside down, but he still couldn't find Raeleigh. Jazelle had already passed out several times from crying, and Jenna would also shed tears from time to time. Hansen and Lamar had been accompanying by their side the entire time, waiting for any news. The two remained silent and handed everything over to Jepherson and Xanthus. But the night had passed, and the day came! ...... "Jerry, have some water." Jenna gave Jerpherson a bottle of water. His lips were already cracked; it wouldn't d
The call to Hansen was like the one to Jacky's. There was still no news to be told. Hansen put his phone down and looked at Jepherson. He had been putting on a tough look, but Hansen could see that his son was on the verge of collapsing. "Take a rest." Hansen stood up. His gaze, as deep as the sea as if they could penetrate and see through the surveillance footage. "She's no longer in Capital City. Dispatch teams to search for her outside. Send out notices and promise those who find her with rewards. As long as anyone finds her, we're willing to give up all assets for her return." With that, Hansen turned around and headed outside. Jenna immediately stood up and followed him. After exiting the door, Jenna caught up with Hansen and tugged at his sleeves. "Hansen?" "I'm willing to give anything for her return. No news may be good news." Hansen pulled his beloved wife into his arms and gave a light yet heavy pat on her shoulder. Things were never
When Raeleigh woke up, she found the space a spotless white, and the lights were dazzling. Raeleigh covered her eyes and observed her surroundings as she slowly recalled what had happened before she passed out. It took her no time to remember she had killed Octus. Raeleigh instantly jolted up from the bed and swept her gaze around her room. It was apparent she was in a spacious cell with two wooden bunk beds. The top beds were occupied with stuff, and she was in one of the bottom bunks while the other was empty. She was alone in the cell. Raeleigh took a look at herself. She had changed into clean prisoner clothes, and her limbs were bandaged. Hearing a sound coming from the other side of the cell, Raeleigh turned around and saw the man who had provoked her into killing Octus and promised that he would protect her emerging from the side. Seeing him, Raeleigh froze. She did not know whether his bronze skin was naturally tanned. He di
