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
Raeleigh fixed her gaze on Austin and repeated, "I want to make a call." But Austin merely sneered. "That's not possible." "I don't want to cut my hair." Raeleigh tried her best to fight for her hair instead, and Austin laughed. "You have no choice; it will only cause trouble if you keep it. You have a beautiful face, so you won't look ugly even if you cut it short." "My parents will be sad if they see me like this." Raeleigh was unbothered by her hairstyle, but she was concerned about how her parents felt if they saw her short hair. "Cut it. Rules are rules. When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Raeleigh could not waver Austin's stand at all if he made up his mind. No matter what she said, he insisted. Her hair was not much longer than a man's either. Raeleigh's hair was black, her chin was sharp, her face fair. With her hair short, she stood on the spot, staring at Austin in a trance. Austin had also had a haircut that day, but his hair was much shorter th
Raeleigh didn't need to turn around to know it was the man who disliked her the most, Lechen. Raeleigh kept playing until it was time for lunch. They were given a break then. Most of the prisoners went to the bathroom before having their meals, while Raeleigh did the opposite. The bathroom was considered clean, but it was crowded. Raeleigh insisted Austin accompany her. As Austin had always been one to be indifferent and never cared a fig, he became the center of attention when a woman appeared by his side all of a sudden. After lunch, Raeleigh and Austin continued the games. It wasn't until the night came that Raeleigh left with Austin. Raeleigh already felt brain fried when she left the room, and she could barely hold her cutleries when it was time for dinner. But she cleaned her plate regardless. She wasn't going to yield to the environment. After dinner, Raeleigh followed Austin back. Entering the cell, Austin told her to take a
Just like when she was forced to confess her feelings to Jepherson, she wouldn't do it if she wasn't driven into a corner. Though Raeleigh held a weapon in hand, he did not take her seriously despite having his guard up; he still walked toward her. On her first hit, the man tried to grab the shovel, but Raeleigh's swing was faster than he had expected, staggering backward from the blow. Austin glanced at his lackeys, and one of them bellowed, "You have the guts to bully her." With that, they rushed forward. The crowd outside was controlled, but those in the middle charged forward like a swarm of bees, leaving Raeleigh bewildered. When the crowd dispersed, she saw the man lying dead on the ground with a thin gash on his neck. He died just like that, with his eyes wide open. Raeleigh gasped for breath and turned to look at Austin, who chuckled and gave her a thumbs-up. Raeleigh did not know how she should respond, but she could feel that her smile at that moment w
