Panicked, Marissa stumbled backward, pointing at Rossie as she trembled. "B-bull-bullsh*t. What are you talking about?" "People make mistakes; that's normal, but those who right their wrongs can be forgiven. Unlike some people who would only keep doing the wrong even when they know it's wrong. Everyone knows that she is a heinous, evil witch, but her family kept quiet because they didn't want her to be sad. But she is an evil witch, after all, doing nothing but the wicked, yet living like a self-righteous a*s. If I were her, I'd just lock myself in a room and become a mummy." "What a shame. She's living all high and mighty even after hurting her own family." "Ridiculous, don't you think? I wonder if God has fallen asleep. How is she still alive and kicking when so many had died?" Deanna blinked in awe of her sister-in-law. What a razor tongue! However, Marissa was still their senior, so Deanna thought Rossie should still be a little more respectful. Even t
Raeleigh sat next to Santiago on the bed, watching the man who still showed no signs of waking up. Seeing Jepherson enter, she hid her left hand behind her back, asking as she looked at him, "Why are you here?" "Why can't I be?" Jepherson walked to her with a deadpan face and sat next to her, his gaze filled with determination. Silent, Raeleigh shifted her hand out, to which Jepherson went to hold, only for her to evade, saying, "I can still move it. It's fine." "I'll only know after I take a look at it. Why are you hiding it from me?" Eventually, Jepherson pulled her into his arms, trapping her, holding her hands behind her back. Raeleigh did not shed a tear but only rested her chin on Jepherson's shoulder. Giving a light squeeze on her hand, he coaxed, "Cry if you want to. Let it all out." Chuckling under her breath, Raeleigh said, "Does it look like I can shed a tear? I've murdered people and done the wicked; I believe I have a ticket to hell afte
Jepherson emerged from Santiago's room the next morning, but she didn't come out with him. Deanna stared at Santiago's room from downstairs and recalled Raeleigh spent the night there, but how was it that Jepherson came out from that room too? Had Raeleigh retreated to her room? "Jepherson, where's Raeleigh?" Only Deanna Whalen would be idiotic enough to ask boldly what no one would. Jepherson inadvertently glanced at her and said, "Raeleigh's still sleeping; she's tired. I've contacted some neurology experts; they'll come over in a few days. Please help me entertain them. I need to leave for a meeting." "You're leaving for a meeting? How do you still have the mood to do that? Aren't you supposed to go to the Doyle family? Zorion said Capital City has been in a state of chaos lately. A lot of people from far and wide are gathering here. They're probably here to come at you, so..." "Come at me?" No sooner had Jepherson quirked his eyebrows than Deanna
Having changed her clothes, wearing a pair of black gloves, Raeleigh descended the stairs leisurely and went to Santiago's room. Entering, she sat down next to Santiago and held his hand. "I want to tell you something. Deanna has given birth to twins with Jacky. They are named Cedric and Heitor. Because of the dispute with the Doyle family, Jacky has now been dragged into it. They waited until Jacky, Jepherson, and Zorion were attending a meeting together to kidnap the twins. I have to go now, and I'm not certain if I'll be able to bring the children back. So if you can hear me, wake up. I need your help." With that said, Raeleigh got up, and Scarlette immediately went to her, trying to persuade her to stay. "Raeleigh, you can't go. You're in no shape. Have you forgotten how Lucy died?" "I'll be fine, don't worry." Raeleigh glanced at Santiago, who still showed no signs of waking up. She thought that could wake him up, but it seemed that he would sleep his years away.
It took no time for Harvey to notice Raeleigh's car was following them. He glanced over at the highly tensed Deanna and continued to speed through the streets to her home. No one dared to cause chaos on the roads in broad daylight; they had been driving along the city center, and everybody gave way for them to pass. They eventually arrived at the Whalen family's home about more than an hour later. Luckily, nothing bad happened. Deanna had someone open the gates, and the car entered the yard while the car Raeleigh was in was parked outside. Deanna turned to look at Raeleigh, who waved at them, signaling Harvey to bring her in. He wasted no time doing so. Raeleigh then left for the RTA in the city center. When they arrived at the gates, Raeleigh got out of the car and went to ask for the director. The director knew her; she didn't explain why but just did. Raeleigh expressed her intention to have a look at the cameras on all the roads in the city. Without gi
Stuart stood guard at the door while Fehmen went to the occupied bedroom, and Jaird went to Raeleigh. Meanwhile, Raeleigh pestered the man to give her the exact amount as she didn't bring any change with her. Seeing Jaird, the man stumped and asked her what was going on. Jaird was fast to respond and immediately roared, "You shameless woman! How dare you have an affair behind my back?! I demand an explanation!" The man was stunned. Raeleigh hid behind one of them and said, "I didn't. Don't slander." A man playing poker laughed, "You two fight somewhere..." Before anyone saw it, Raeleigh flung a knife at the man, stabbing his neck. Just as he was getting up, Jaird twisted his neck while Fehmen kicked another guy in the stomach and delivered a knee to his face, knocking him out cold. As Raeleigh went to the other end of the room, Jaird had already broken a second neck. All the guys in the unit were either dead or knocked unconscious, but they still cou
Everyone from the Whalen family waited at the door as Raeleigh and Deanna returned to Green Jade Garden. Deanna had absolute faith in Raeleigh, just as she did with Jacky, so she didn't hesitate to go along with Raeleigh's plan. Raeleigh walked to the door, but Deanna went in ahead of her. It was the first time she had talked to her parents so rationally. It was only three words. "I trust Raeleigh." What else could Rayan say? The twins were his daughter's babies; she was most unwilling to part with them out of anyone. But the Doyle family had now thrown everything out the window and wouldn't stop until one side was completely wiped out. This was the best option to keep the children safe. Rayan looked at Raeleigh. "I hope you won't lie to us; you should know you'll be the first to go if anything happens to the kids." Although Rayan knew Raeleigh had their best interest at heart, he had to put out his worst intentions. It was a thankless job, but since
Raeleigh was being given a jab, closing her eyes in excruciating pain. Rossie sat down opposite her and asked if she was still hurting, to which she nodded. Rossie said, "The guys still haven't returned yet. I think you have an idea what's going on." Raeleigh shot her eyes open but shut them again a couple of seconds later. Rossie continued, "My father-in-law and Uncle Hansen have come to an agreement. Since they aren't back yet, we'll have to take over their duties." Hearing that, Raeleigh looked over at Rossie. "What are you planning?" "We would have to punish the kidnappers severely, but the problem is how do we ensure everyone's safety. The Doyle family have made their move on us; if we don't teach them a lesson, we, the Whalen and Richards family, will lose our place here in the Capital City." Raeleigh sat up painstakingly leaning on the bed frame, only clad scantily in a few bandages. But her gaze was dull. Was it because she was in
