Deanna stared at Raeleigh blankly, all because of the sentence that she just uttered. It was soon going to be another year as the old year passed and Deanna was extremely, absolutely unwilling to leave Raeleigh's home. However, it's already past midnight and she couldn't not outstayed her welcome here. Deanna mulled over it for a long time. In the end, she still followed Jacky back, but not without a lot of nagging. As for Jacky, he didn't take it to heart. As long as the children were safe, it didn't matter wherever he went. As parents, they hoped for nothing more than this. However, Deanna had already taken this matter as something to be remembered, and inevitably put it on the agenda. She didn't handle it the previous year, hence this time on the second day after the New Year, Deanna went to seek out Raeleigh. Before Raeleigh could even fully wake up from her sleep, it reached their ears that Deanna was waiting downstairs. Jepherson kneaded his brows and got
Deanna was starving to the point that she was drowsy from hunger. Jacky went to make some food to wake her up, then called her when it was done. She woke up all bleary-eyed but smiled when she took note of who was in front of her. While they ate, she couldn't help but let her eyes wander in the direction of the upper floors and spoke aloud in confusion, "Why didn't Raeleigh return Cedric and Heitor to us? Could it be that she's afraid that we'd find out about some secret?" Jacky, who was in the middle of his meal, looked up at her. He frowned as he seemed to have thought of something, "Maybe there's no time to send them back. It's not necessarily a secret." "You've always talked in her defence. Don't you think it's possible? Raeleigh's child has always been fine. At that time when she left, probably she had some fortuitous encounter since her departure was very sudden, yet silent. I think that there's someone in the shadows helping her. If that person wasn't you, then it co
Although Deanna protested, Jacky still placed her in a corner while they stood in the middle of the living room in preparation for their test of strengths. Deanna pleaded. "Jacky, let's go home, okay ?" "It'll be over in a little while." Jacky flicked a look her way. He had always hoped to have this opportunity. Although this wasn't what he had foreseen, since it had turned out like this, he would take it. Deanna pursed her lips. "Next time, I won't come to your house again. I don't like the way you treat your guests." Jepherson laughed at that, "No one invited you. You asked for it yourself." "My children had been forcibly seized by your wife. I came since she didn't return them to me, or else would I willingly come to your house?" When Deanna truly wanted to quarrel, she wouldn't give way to anyone. She wasn't afraid of Jepherson. Jepherson rolled his eyes at Jacky. "Looks like your household's upbringing isn't that great." "The feeling
Raeleigh stared at Hanschel with what seemed to be a brief moment of doubt but still she approached him. Her quiet and beautiful eyes shrouded in ice and snow gazed at him as she said, "Did you think that you got the court to give you a life sentence due to your own capabilities?" Something shifted a little in Hanschel's eyes, a faint look of incredulity in them. Raeleigh surveyed the people around them. Jepherson was somewhat astonished, but Raeleigh had never said what she didn't mean. "I might as well tell you. The one who did your operation, I was the one who hired them. I wanted them to operate and treat your injuries. When you filed for lawsuit, I was the one who paid for it to get through the channels as you followed from behind. This court trial, the initiator of it all isn't you, but me. You underestimated me a little too much. "I can cripple all four of your limbs, and I can leave them intact to live like a decent person. If I were you, I would a
Raeleigh smiled when she saw Austin. "How have you been?" Austin was reading a notebook. When he heard Raeleigh's words, he put the notebook down and raised his head to look at her, "You came at this hour?" "Hanschel Doyle can't live." "It's been arranged." "Thank you." "Is there anything else?" "Mm..." Austin pointedly diverted his gaze to a spot by his side. Once Raeleigh situated herself beside him, he switched on the computer. It was a security feed, and recorded within was a large group of people. She noticed that out of all the people who were raining blows, one of them with his back towards the camera was Stuart, and the one who was bleeding out on the ground was Hanschel. Raeleigh looked at Austin. "Thank you so much for doing this. Otherwise, I have to restrain Stuart from taking action out in public." "The Doyle family was exterminated because of one woman. It's not worth it." "Then how does one get over Lucy's undes
The Whalen family were the first to be made aware of Jepherson's minute movement. Rayan called Deanna downstairs to ask who had leaked the Green House location to him. "I was just simply saying, who knew that he took it for real?" Deanna said with a guileless look on her face. "Troublesome." At the rebuke from her father, she lowered her head. "He's the one who wanted to kick up such a fuss, what does this have to do with me?" "Even if that were true, with all the noise he made, will Austin even return Cedric and Heitor to us?" Rayan was, in fact, most worried about his two grandsons. As for Austin, he could care less. Deanna became anxious when she heard this. "Then what should we do?" Rayan unexpectedly gave a cold look towards his daughter, "What else can you do other than create a disaster?" Deanna was still unsatisfied. She walked up to her husband and said, "Jacky, let's go. I'll go find Austin and ask him why he won't return our ba
When Deanna flipped over groggily and saw that Rossie had arrived, she quickly pushed open the door and got down from the car. Jacky immediately followed suit, a coat in hand as he helped Deanna into it. She wrapped it around herself snugly, a white fur coat that was similar to Rossie's. However, her outfit was of a cropped design, which gave her a smart look in comparison to Rossie. Although Deanna may be a few years older in age than her, Rossie's appearance within the group was like Raeleigh, who gave them the impression of a mature and restrained temperament about her. Jepherson looked at Rossie and said, "I'd like to hear the details." Jepherson had long since seen through what kind of person Rossie was. For her to be able to anger Geraldine to death, this alone was enough to make others be wary of her. "I'm going to have a try. If Raeleigh wants to see me, you can go back to Capital City immediately. Raeleigh will come back sooner or later, just be patient
Jenna held her son's hand. "Santiago, Mommy's tired. Don't you want to open your eyes and cheer me up? Aren't you tired after staying quiet for so long?" Hansen clearly heard everything she said in between tears through the door. He turned to look for the key to the door. Before he could, however, Jenna was already up by the room's entrance. She had stopped crying as she stood by the closed door and told Hansen from inside. "If you come in, I'll go out." Hansen had barely held the keys for more than a few seconds before he put them back. A few minutes later, Jenna returned to her youngest son's side. After he heard her retreating footsteps, Hansen sat back down on the couch. He recalled those days when they were young, the memories strung back together again. Perhaps as they got older, they began to do nothing. Hansen did not shut his eyes for the whole night. It was only when morning arrived that he unconsciously fell into slumber. He dreamt of the moment
