Deanna could not fall asleep at night. She stayed up all night thinking about the conversation she had with Raeleigh. She just could not put the matter aside. She lay on her bed and decided to call Jacky. "Jacky." "Deanna, why are you calling me this late at night? What's wrong? Are you having trouble falling asleep?" Jacky was currently in Waverly Village looking for Stella. He had promised Jepherson that he would be able to find her within three days, but in the end, he failed to find her. Jacky had always been a man of his word. He would do whatever he said. He truly did not think that he would be unable to find Stella. If Stella wasn't in Waverly Village, then he would still be able to pretend it never happened. However, that wasn't the case. Although Jepherson did not say anything, it did not mean that there wasn't anything wrong. Waverly Village was massive and trying to find a person in the village was like looking for a needle in a hays
Jacky said, "Go ahead and start searching. I hope we will be able to find her before dawn. If we still can't find her, then I'll have to ask our people to help." "Alright." After Logan left, Jacky stood in front of the car with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He lowered his head and was deep in thought. At this moment, someone appeared from behind him. Jacky turned around to see who it was. The person immediately stopped when he saw Jacky. It turned out to be Bock. Jacky briefly glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing sneaking around?" Bock was bald. Those people around Jacky usually stood out. The most prominent feature about Bock was that he was bald. Although he was not that good looking, but he definitely was not useless. He stood out everywhere he went not only because he was bald, but also because of his athletic build. Bock and Jacky were like brothers. They grew up together with Logan. All three of them had gone to hell an
Jacky's ruthlessness was on full display at this moment. Bock smiled and ordered his men to bring Harvey to a place to be locked up. Meanwhile, Jacky continued on with his search while Logan was also being locked up with Harvey. Jacky spent the entire night searching for the woman but to no avail. Even as the first light of day appeared in the horizon, he still could not find her. So, he decided to visit Logan. At this time, Logan had his hands over his eyes. Jacky entered the room and sat down. Bock was standing behind him. Logan removed his hands from his eyes and looked at Jacky. "Jacky." "Was it you?" Jacky asked. Logan shook his head. "No." Jacky did not ask anything else. He briefly looked at him before standing up to leave. After exiting the room and locking the door, Jacky went to take a rest before continuing on with his search at night. He went the entire day without eating anything. Jacky decided to continue on with his s
Bock tried to lift his head up to look at Jacky. His face was turning purple. He then said, "That's all in the past. I will not trust you anymore. You and Logan abandoned me! Logan betrayed you as well, but you're still nice to him. Something which you've never done to me." Jacky smirked, "Then, you'll die under my hands." Jacky tried his best to strangle Bock, but Bock immediately yelled, "Guys, kill him!" All of Bock's men feared Jacky, but at this moment, it was either Jacky or them. At the thought of facing death, everyone hurriedly threw themselves at Jacky and did their best to pull Jacky away from Bock. At this moment, Bock wanted to get things over with. He threw himself at Jacky and wanted to drown him in the water. However, just as he was about to approach him, he was frightened by the look in Jacky's eyes. "Bock, have you forgotten what you promised me?" Stella suddenly shouted. Bock seemed to have been injected with a burst of energ
By the time Raeleigh went to see Jacky, he was able to sit up from his bed. His body was wrapped in bandages, just like Jepherson, and for a moment Raeleigh felt that they were kindred spirits. Nevertheless, she hadn't expected it when Stella was found, how ignorant she was on the reason why Jacky was injured in the first place. Raeleigh sat down and looked at him in concern, "Are you feeling better?" Jacky's thoughtful look made him seem as if he had fallen into a doze. Deanna took care of him all this while, to the point where she prioritized him more than her own child. If anyone dared to utter a single protest, she would get confrontational with them until no one dared to bother her any longer. It was only when Raeleigh arrived that Deanna had relaxed and returned slowly to her usual self. "Jacky, Raeleigh is talking to you." Deanna saw that Jacky had not replied and took the initiative to speak to him. Jacky looked at her and grasped her hand, before
Thinking of Santiago, Raeleigh slowly averted her gaze. Jepherson asked her, "Are you worried?" Raeleigh picked up a piece of garment and draped it over him. Their height difference was so striking, that Raeleigh had to lift herself onto her toes to be able to properly wrapped the garment around him "It may be warm outside, but you can't be careless." Raeleigh sat back down, and yet Jepherson stood where he was, behind her with his hands clasped behind his back. Amidst the garden these two figures were, during a season where flowers bloomed in bursts of colors, akin to a painting brought to life. Yet no one knew what had happened between them, nor why it had become the way it was now? Louisa came out from the couple's room and stood at the doorway, her eyes on these two people. Louisa didn't know what was going on with Raeleigh. She only felt that the Raeleigh before her now was really lonely. Everyone stayed in the yard until five to six
When he saw Jepherson, Jacky stood up without a word. He then turned around and said, "Bury the dog." Jepherson moved with the intention to follow him, but his way was barred by the village people. Jacky continued, "I only did something that I should have done from the beginning. I was like this before I met you. Those who oppose me will not have a good ending when I catch them. Other than the blood on the ground, I promise that not even her bones will remain." Jepherson's gaze was deep and cold. "Jacky Scott." Jacky stopped and glanced back at Jepherson, "I'm not you. I'm not going to consider the bigger picture. For the sake of the bigger picture, I left behind a mad dog that hurt people everywhere. This isn't how I, Jacky, do things. Never put a snake in your arms, it will only lead to your death." Jacky pivoted on his feet and left with his men. Raeleigh stood a little distance away as she watched Jepherson as well as the entire proceedings. When he tu
After she had her lunch and packed a few clothes, Raeleigh followed Jepherson to his family residence. She had barely stepped through the door when she froze, for who should be taking a stroll in the yard but none other than Trevor and Marissa, the former pushing the latter around. Trevor wasn't a problem to Raeleigh, but the sight of Marissa made her feel on edge. Should she say hello or not? Forget it. Raeleigh was outfitted in a white maternity dress, and with her abdomen round from pregnancy, she looked as stunning as a celestial fairy. Women's pregnancy would usually bring about change, but those like Raeleigh who grow even more beautiful the further along she was were truly rare in between. She didn't even wear makeup, nor applied any skincare products. She stood out like a hibiscus wet with dew and the servants around the area were stunned. No wonder Mr. Jepherson and Mr. Santiago fell over themselves for her, who wouldn't? Raeleig
