After being in the car for some time, Jepherson moved his hand from his thighs and reached towards Raeleigh. Raeleigh had her head lowered as she watched him place his hand onto hers. He held her hand gently, with his thumb on the inside of her palm while the other fingers held her palm. Raeleigh didn't move. She knew that she wouldn't be able to escape despite what Jepherson wanted to do to her that time. It was the second time meeting him and she didn't get the feeling that he was going to do anything s*xual towards her. On the contrary, Jepherson seemed to be trying to show her that he was being considerate towards her. But why was he doing that? Raeleigh had no idea. After holding her hand, Jepherson turned his face to look at her. He had a light smile on his face. "Was it interesting?" Jepherson whispered as his body moved towards her. Raeleigh didn't avoid him but she just stared at him. Jepherson couldn't get a reaction out of Raeleigh and his expression
After leaving the concert hall, Raeleigh became incredibly silent. She wasn't sure why Jepherson had brought her here and even though she had never been to a place like this, she knew that she wouldn't have been allowed into the concert with the attire she was wearing. If it weren't for Jepherson, she wouldn't have been allowed to go in at all. The concert had yet to end, and they could've left slightly later, but it would have been crowded at the end of the show. Raeleigh was aware that Jepherson didn't want to attract any unnecessary attention, therefore they left the concert early. The two of them walked out of the elevator as Stuart walked in front of them. Jepherson got into the car after Raeleigh. The concert hall's supervisor and manager watched them leave as they stood outside Jepherson's car. On the way back, Raeleigh closed her eyes without thinking as she leaned against the car seat. She usually went to bed at ten o'clock at night and due to spending
Marissa felt furious about what happened. She tried to cool herself down with the exquisite fan in her hand but to no avail. Then, she pulled out her phone and called her daughter-in-law. However, her son picked up the call instead. "Mom, how come you're calling so early in the morning? What's wrong?" Hansen slept late the night before. Although he had taken good care of himself, despite being middle-aged, he was as fit as a young man. He still had urges in bed as usual. Hansen had just woken up from his sleep when he picked up the call and it was Marissa's call that woke him up. He was worried that the sound would wake Jenna up, so he quickly picked up the phone instead. Marissa was stunned, and she pulled a long face. "What do you mean? Are you complaining about the fact that I'm calling you?" "How could that be? I asked you that because I just thought that it must be an important matter for you to call at this hour. Who angered you? Where's Jepherson? I
"What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything? What happened between you and that man last night?" Scarlette was still speaking in a straightforward manner. Raeleigh looked up at her and replied indifferently, "We went to a classical concert and I fell asleep on the way back. We slept at the entrance of the school and only woke up this morning." She wasn't acting shy or as if she had something to hide like other girls would. "How did you sleep at the school entrance?" Scarlette was surprised as she imagined Raeleigh and Jepherson lying on the ground together at the school entrance. "I slept in the car outside the school entrance. Jepherson didn't wake me up." Raeleigh couldn't understand why Jepherson made her go out with him but didn't end up doing anything to her. Everything was oddly normal. "It seems like he's good to you." Scarlette recalled her first time seeing Jepherson when she was a kid. Although the encounter was fine, Jepherson had always been cold and qui
In the Richards Group's Ink Garden in Capital City. "Jerry, do you hear what I'm saying?" Marissa was slightly impatient. She had been questioning Jepherson, and he hadn't replied to her a single word about what happened between him and the girl. Jepherson was looking at his phone. He was looking at Raeleigh's design drawing, which was the last photo sent to him. His eyes and soul were completely blown away by it. Although he could only see part of the design, it was enough for him to tell that he had found a rare treasure. Jepherson put his phone away and looked towards Marissa with a smile, "Grandma, do you want me to start my own family?" "Of course. I like Deanna a lot. Don't you like her too? Our families are perfect for each other, and it is one of my wishes. Do you know that Deanna hasn't been over for a few days? Has there been a conflict between the two of you?" Marissa asked, grabbing Jepherson's hand. She was afraid that he was going to run away like
After investigating Raeleigh's identity, Marissa made up her mind. If there was such a person to help with the situation and ensure Deanna's safety, then it was considered good news. At the very least, Deanna's safety was guaranteed. On the other hand, they would be able to tell who was trying to sabotage the matter. As for Rayan, Marissa could only try to provide them an explanation. She believed that everything was going to be resolved. Rayan was a smart man. Moreover, Hannah and Jenna were best friends. They would agree that this was good news too. Marissa made up her mind. She called the dean of Elkton University to make sure the school took good care of Raeleigh. Since the Richards family was making use of Raeleigh, they should at least give her something back in return. After attending the early morning classes, Scarlette pulled Raeleigh to one side. As they were walking, Scarlette told her that the Richards Group was planning to hold a competi
Deanna heard that the Richards Group was about to hold a car designing competition and it was held in Elkton University. She was intrigued to join but she stood by the entrance hesitantly. "What's wrong?" Zorion asked. Zorion didn't go to school for the past two days and stayed at home to accompany Deanna because he was afraid that she would feel upset. However, ever since Deanna got a call from Marissa, she wasn't feeling emotional anymore and insisted on going to school. "Zorion." Deanna ran towards him with a smile when she saw him. She hugged his arm, like a child asking for attention. Zorion and Deanna were open to each other about everything. If there was one thing that Zorion couldn't live without, it would be his sister, Deanna. "What are you so happy about?" Zorion asked as his eyebrows lifted. "Zorion, did you hear that the Richards Group will be hosting a car designing competition in Elkton University? You're so good at car designing, so w
After smiling at Deanna, Zorion glanced at Raeleigh, and then at Quirina. His eyebrows tightened and he looked disgusted. "If you don't wish for me to question Johan about his upbringing, then it's best that you disappear from my sight. This is a university, not somewhere you can just act as you wish." "Mr. Whalen, you've misunderstood me. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and we're just catching up. I'm not messing with her. Raeleigh, isn't that the case?" Quirina looked at Raeleigh with a flash of hatred in her gaze, warning her to choose her words wisely. Raeleigh was not concerned, but the smaller the trouble, the better. If she let things go, then she would not suffer from any losses. If she did, then she could not do anything about it. Quirina had a powerful family background and there was no way she could win against her. "I'm fine. We're fine. Thank you." Raeleigh didn't know Deanna and Zorion personally. She had only met them once back then wh
