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
Raeleigh fell silent and stared indifferently at Jepherson. Then she took one last look at Santiago before turning around and leaving. She told herself that she would never go back into the arms of a man like Jepherson. She used to wear her heart on her sleeves but she now had a heart of stone. All she wanted was to live a peaceful and normal life. She did not expect it would be so difficult. She vowed to avenge Santiago. She would never let Stella go. Raeleigh emerged from Santiago's ward and paused for a moment. Then she briefly looked up at Rossie, who was already walking towards her. "Raeleigh, we're also devastated, but you're pregnant. You have to take care of yourself." "I know." Raeleigh then glanced over at Jacky before leaving. Jacky watched as Raeleigh walked away. Jacky would never forget the look on her face. Her eyes was filled with coldness. It was completely different from the Raeleigh he knew. Raeleigh returne
After Raeleigh hung up the phone, she stood up and headed straight to Santiago's ward. Xanthus immediately stood up and followed her. On the way, he said, "You have to stop running around, otherwise the people around us can't protect us at all." Raeleigh walked in front. She was dressed casually as she was pregnant. Not many people knew it yet, but if Stella knew, she could not imagine what would happen. Fortunately, the weather these days allowed her to dress like this. Raeleigh wore a loose-fitting black outfit that wouldn t hamper the baby s development. Xanthus felt that it was suitable as well. For the past two days, Raeleigh had rolled up her sleeves. That way, others would not be able to tell that something was off about her. Raeleigh's short hair not only highlighted her natural beauty, but also made her look a little unruly. Raeleigh shoved her hands in her pockets and spoke as she walked, "I'm afraid that she won't come. If she comes, I can gua
