As soon as the plane landed, Raeleigh followed Jacky back to Waverly Village and straight to the hospital to visit Jared. Jared was recovering nicely. Raeleigh stood outside and watched him. Harvey briefly updated Raeleigh on Jared's current condition. When she heard that Jared was doing well, she left feeling a burden lifted. After coming out of the hospital, Jacky obtained the test results of the ointment that Crevor had given to Raeleigh. "The ointment is made of a natural substance, which can effectively improve the blood circulation and promote the recovery of bones. There's no trace of any harmful substance. It's all natural and it will not cause any chemical reaction in your stomach even if you mixed it with foods." Raeleigh frowned and took the box over. Then, she took a look at her left hand and said, "Is he really helping me?" "I'm not sure either. After all, we all know that Crevor does not have any good intentions." Raeleigh raised
The next day, when Raeleigh was having breakfast, Jacky came over with Deanna. When they entered the house, Deanna mentioned that they hadn't had anything to eat, so Raeleigh invited them to join her. After sitting down, Deanna started talking about Jared as if he was not there. Jared lowered his head and ate quietly with a cold expression on his face. "I just feel that some people are ungrateful. One should repay a debt of gratitude with kindness, but some people just wouldn't." Raeleigh raised her head to look at Deanna. "What are you talking about? Are you talking about me?" "No, I'm not. Raeleigh, I just want to remind you that it's not good to be kind to people all the time, because if you give them an inch, they will ask for a mile." Then, Raeleigh said, "That's enough. I'm going to stop eating if you continue talking." "Fine, I'll stop talking." It was only then that Deanna stopped talking. At this moment, Jared was still eating. A
Raeleigh had no idea where she was. She was locked up under Geraldine's order. She did not have the strength to fight back, therefore it was impossible for her to resist. However, Raeleigh did not expect that Crevor would be locked up as well. When Crevor was locked up, he did not resist at all. He just protected Raeleigh. They were immediately taken to the car. After travelling for two hours, they were then escorted out of the car. The place where they were locked up looked like a dungeon. Raeleigh stood by the small window and looked outside. The night sky was lit up with bright stars. Raeleigh turned around and looked at Crevor who was sitting on the ground. The floor was not damp but dry. Raeleigh asked Crevor, "Where are we?" "We're in the dungeon located in the backyard of the villa." Crevor said casually. Raeleigh asked, "You have a dungeon in your house?" "It's not surprising. This dungeon has been here for a long time
"Haven't you found her yet?" Jepherson got out of the car, without a trace of anger on his face. He could not blame Jacky for Raeleigh's disappearance because his own men did not protect her as well. What right did he have to blame others? Jacky walked out of Waverly Village and stopped when he saw Jepherson. "We managed to obtain the footage from the CCTV. She left with Crevor and they were heading towards the Helgen Group." "The business center?" "Yes. We weren't able to track down where he went after entering the business centre, but it turns out that Crevor did not show up at the Helgen Group. So, it means that this isn't Crevor's doing. Something must have happened along the way." "Get in the car first." Jepherson and Stuart immediately got into the car. Jacky could not interfere with this matter, lest it caused unnecessary trouble. It meant that Jepherson would have to look for Raeleigh himself. Zorion sent out a search party last night a
Jacky walked aside, while Jepherson walked towards Raeleigh. When he arrived in front of Raeleigh, he raised his hand and touched her face. "Did they hit you?" Raeleigh shook her head. "No." Jepherson raised his hand and pulled her into his arms. At first, he held her gently in his arms, but later he tightened arms around her. Jacky stood by the side and watched for a while before turning around to leave. Harvey followed suit. Then, Jepherson released Raeleigh. He looked at her and said, "I forgive you for what you did with Jared!" "......" Raeleigh frowned. "I'm sorry, I have something else to do." Raeleigh walked passed Jepherson, intending to head into the village, but Jepherson said, "I asked Jared to come back." Raeleigh paused for a moment and turned to look at Jepherson. "That's your business. It has nothing to do with me." "If it weren't for you, he would not have betrayed me." "I'm not sure whether he betrayed you, bu
"Wow! That was quick!" Jepherson raised his eyes and asked Stuart. Stuart nodded. Jepherson asked, "What was her reaction?" "She was so mad that she vomited." "That's disgusting." Jepherson said. Stuart said, "Yes, it was disgusting." "Stuart, I suggest you don't go anywhere during this period of time. I'll send someone to protect you and Lucy. I'm sure you know that the Doyle family will seek revenge. You must be careful." "I understand." Stuart stepped aside. Raeleigh then asked Jepherson, "What did you do?" "Nothing." Jepherson answered casually, but Raeleigh did not believe him. However, since he did not want to explain, Raeleigh did not continue to ask. Soon, it was night time. Raeleigh had just fallen asleep when she heard a sound coming from outside. Jepherson turned around to look but did not get up. Raeleigh wondered who had come to the hospital. After a while, it was quiet outside the ward. Raeleigh
Jepherson was stunned for a moment. He gave her a mystified smile and said, "I don't mind if you're smelly." Raeleigh remained unmoved and lowered her head to eat. Jepherson then poured a glass of white wine. Raeleigh watched as Jepherson filled his glass with wine. She asked worriedly, "Why are you drinking?" "Aren't men supposed to drink?" "Says who?" "Me." Raeleigh was speechless. Jepherson took a sip of wine and ate some peanuts. Jepherson roasted the peanuts himself. He once saw Jacky eat it like this, so he decided to try it himself. The other dish was thinly sliced smoked meat. Raeleigh decided to try a piece. However, just as Raeleigh placed the second piece in her mouth, she saw Jepherson take a sip of the white wine. "It's not water, why are you drinking so much?" Raeleigh was worried when she saw Jepherson drinking. Raeleigh's heart started pounding in her chest when she realised that there wasn't any label on
Lucy Wagner was lying in a pool of blood when they found her. She was already dead and so was the baby in her stomach. Stuart closed his eyes tightly and couldn't say a word. No one would be able to bear the sight of such brutal death. Stuart cried so hard that he could not speak. Jepherson got out of the car and watched Stuart, not saying a word. There were a lot of people getting off the car. At this moment, Lucy was lying half naked in a pool of blood. The colour had drained from her face. It was a cold night. Stuart took off her coat and wrapped it around Lucy. He did not leave her, instead, he pulled her into his arms. There was a large puddle of blood on the ground. Lucy died just like that. Stuart held Lucy and wept loudly on the ground. The wind was whistling and the snow was falling from the sky. This was the scene Raeleigh saw when she arrived. Raeleigh felt as if her heart was pricked by needles. She looked over at Jepherson, who was standing as
