Raleigh could not figure out what on earth was going on. Before she could make a fuss, Jepherson picked her up forcefully and carried her out of the cell. He strode out of the office and put her inside the car Raeleigh turned around, trying to climb out of the car, but Jepherson stopped her. "Stop messing around!" This was the first time that Jepherson yelled at her like this. Raeleigh looked up and glared at him, shouting, "They killed him!" Jepherson didn't flinch after Raeleigh shouted at him. He refused to back down, "You didn't see his body, so how do you prove that he's dead?" "Where else could he go?" Raeleigh screamed again, her voice growing hoarse. Jepherson's breathing grew rapid, and the veins on his forehead bulged. Raeleigh pursed her lips tightly and gritted her teeth. Suddenly, Jepherson grabbed her chin and pinched it hard, "I will help you find him, dead or alive!" Jepherson's voice was even louder than Raeleigh's. Meanw
A life for a life. Raeleigh believed that Austin had sacrificed his life in exchange for hers, and because of that, she could not sleep well nor do anything properly. When Jepherson saw that Raeleigh had finally closed her eyes, he opened the shades and turned on all the lights with the remote control. Then, he opened the skylight on the roof to reveal an artificial night sky. Staring at the sky full of stars above them, he lay down and turned over to hold Raeleigh, placing a kiss on her cheek. Raeleigh didn't move nor resist. However, when Jepherson tightened his embrace, her breathing grew rapid and nervous. Jepherson patted her gently. The more nervous she was, the more he was unwilling to let her go. He remained silent as he held her close to his chest. Eventually, Raeleigh's body relaxed and she fell asleep. Jepherson tightened his arms around her once more. Whenever she stirred, he immediately loosened his grip. He waited until she was sound asleep b
Xanthus was explaining Raeleigh's case to the police when Jepherson arrived at the station. Xanthus's tone was considered benevolent as he talked, but his expression was rather dark. Anyone close to him could immediately detect that he was seething with anger and that he was faking a smile. "Are you implying that my girlfriend's crazy?" "No, that's not what I mean. You are a foreigner, so I don't want it to affect our relationship." The police had already arranged for someone else to talk to him, but Xanthus was not planning to leave until Raeleigh was released. He knocked on the table at the mention of his nationality in annoyance, "All this just because I was born overseas? I was already planning to denounce my foreign citizenship, but I did not expect to be discriminated against because of this." "My girlfriend is innocent. Do you think I'm going to believe you just because of what you said?" "Do you have any evidence? I am a doctor, and I can see
At eleven o'clock, the police unlocked the cell and informed Raeleigh that she could leave. However, Raeleigh did not reply and her eyes remained closed. She remained seated in the chair as if she was asleep. The police officer called her a few more times, but she did not move. He immediately felt something was amiss and slowly walked over. He reached out to nudge her, but as a result, she crumbled off the chair like a puppet. Shocked, he quickly hurried over to catch her in time, then shouted for the others. At this time, Jepherson and Xanthus were waiting for Raeleigh outside. When they heard the police officer shouting, their eyes met and they immediately rushed into the detainment cell without a second thought. They were met with an unconscious Raeleigh in one of the police officer's arms. Jepherson hurriedly scooped her up in his arms and darted out of the station. After placing her into his car, he stepped on the pedal and zoomed away. They headed straight for t
"I don't plan to do anything. Raeleigh is in need of help. I can't just stand by, can I?" Jepherson muttered as he fiddled with his ring. Hansen turned to look at his son, "Are you sure you're the father of the child?" "Yes." Jepherson insisted the baby was his, but his behavior made Hansen even more worried. With an angry grunt, Hansen turned around and refused to address the matter any further. Jenna was almost choking on her rage as well. If her son insisted that he was the dad, then why was he acting like this? Why did he want a divorce? Anyone with discerning eyes could see that he wasn't the father. If he was, he wouldn't have agreed to a divorce. Hansen was also seething. However, he could not blame anyone else but himself for having such troublesome sons. Over the past two days, Raeleigh had been put on a health and supplement meal plan and was being watched like a hawk. No matter where she went, there would always be someone following her. I
Never in a million years did Stella ever thought she'd be asked to leave by Jepherson. So, she sat there for a long time and did not respond. Jepherson immediately asked the servants to pack up Stella's belongings. Stella did not protest. After all, she had no rights within the Richards family. Soon, she was escorted out of the manor by the servants. Before Stella left, she took one look at the Richards Group Manor with a mocking smile. She could not believe that Jepherson had done that. "Come on, let's go." Since Jepherson asked her to leave, then she was going to leave, but she was not going to let this one slide. Stella glanced at the person pushing her. Suddenly he bent down and carried her into the car before closing the door. Stella soon left with her men. In the car, she asked her servant, "Any idea what Santiago has been up to recently?" "No, I have no idea." "Well, forget it." Stella narrowed her eyes and said indifferently
Raeleigh said, "I don't care. It's up to you." "You have guts! Fine, then I will tell you the good news first." Stella hesitated for a moment and said, "You seem to get along well with both Jepherson and Santiago. I bet it'd be hard for you to choose between both of them. Since that's the case, then I'll make the choice for you." Raeleigh tightened her hands around her phone. "What have you done to Santiago?" "What can I do?" Stella asked Raeleigh calmly. Irritation pricked at Raeleigh and she knew Stella did it on purpose. So she tried her best to keep her cool. "Fine. What's the bad news?" Raeleigh did not want to engage in a pointless argument with her. "The bad news is that I accidentally hit him on the head. Now, he's lying unconscious on the ground with blood spilling out of his head. Oh, the good thing is that he's not going to die. Is this still considered bad news?" Raeleigh pressed her lips together then bit out. "Where is he?"
The doctor swept a quick glance at the people surrounding him. He looked at Raeleigh and said, "We did everything we could. Although he's still alive right now, he's never going to wake up. He's already..." The next moment, Raeleigh blacked out before she could finish hearing what the doctor had to say. Everyone including the doctors was frightened. Xanthus immediately pulled her out of the crowd of people. Everyone were speechless with fear. Raeleigh woke up and found herself in a hospital ward. She looked at her mother and asked, "Where's Santiago?" Jazelle wiped her tears and walked over to Raeleigh, "He's in his own ward. His family is with him. Your health is more important. You need to take care of yourself first." Raeleigh looked at Jazelle, "Mom, I am fine." Although Raeleigh said she was fine, she could not hide the fact that she had fainted again. Deep down, she knew that her body was weak. "If you say you're fine, then why did
