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
When Raeleigh saw Jepherson's smile, she was momentarily stunned. Then, before she could react, he grabbed hold of her hand and pulled her forward. As she tried to loosen her hand from his grip, Jepherson said, "Keep your voice down. Someone is coming." Raeleigh quietened down and checked in front of her as well as behind her. There was no one behind her. She looked around again. Jepherson's pace was faster than Raeleigh's and by the time she had ascertained that nobody was around, he had already led her to a secluded corner of the school. Raeleigh wanted to argue with Jepherson, but she was cornered by him with her back to the wall. Raeleigh didn't dare to move because she was afraid of being found out. If someone showed up, then she would be at a loss for words. As for Jepherson, no one would do anything to him. Raeleigh did not move as Jepherson lowered his eyes and asked, "Did you miss me?" Raeleigh wore a dark expression. Her face was tense. "We've me
Jepherson's temperature dropped, but Raeleigh's went up. Raeleigh leaned against the wall and stared at Jepherson, who had recovered a little. His shirt was wet through the front and back of it. Although he was wearing a coat on top of his shirt, outside, her body had been stuck close to his and her hand had been holding onto the back of his shirt, so she knew very clearly. Jepherson slowly detached himself and pulled her hands off his back. Then, using the corner of his previously discarded outer coat, he wiped her hands clean. Jepherson took off shirt and coat, and slung it over his shoulders. The wind blew past but there was no unpleasant smell of sweat. Instead, there was a faint fragrance of fresh flowers. Raeleigh's big and watery eyes landed on Jepherson's white shirt. The design looked simple enough but every part of the shirt was hand-stitched, which hinted at the expensive price tag of the shirt. This was probably why under wet or even sweaty conditions, a l
...... ...... Raeleigh and Scarlette had been preparing for the whole day. When night fell, according to the agreement, they went to the school gate. Raeleigh stared at the school gate as she walked. At that time, some people had gathered there. Amongst them was the guy from breakfast, who had requested Raeleigh to have a meal with him. But Raeleigh was quite surprised that so many people would show up. Scarlette, on the other hand, seemed not to care. She blew bubbles as she walked. It was not bubblegum, but soap bubbles from a small blue bottle. She blew them as she walked. Raeleigh glanced at her and asked, "Have you really practised martial arts?" Raeleigh was not assured, so she asked several times. Scarlette said indifferently, "I've been practising since I was young. It's definitely not a problem for me to deal with a couple of good-for-nothings." Raeleigh took a look at the school gate. Those sturdy guys, were they good-for-
"Zorion, go and have a look then," Deanna said after a while. Zorion asked the driver to stop and got out of the car. "I'll go and take a look. I don't think I'll be able to find it, and even if I do, I might not be able to help at all. Don't expect too much, do you understand?" Zorion bent down and looked at Deanna in the car. Deanna said quickly, "I know. Zorion, I'll be waiting for you to have a meal." "Okay, don't drive too fast." Zorion instructed the driver. The driver immediately acknowledged him. "Got it, Young Master." The Whalen family was not an ordinary family. Rayan and Hannah only had a pair of children. They cherished this pair dearly, such that all their instructions revolved around the protection of these two kids. When Zorion and Deanna were six years old, they had followed Hannah to the shopping mall. When Hannah was looking at some clothes, Deanna had been taken away by a stranger. Zorion, who witnessed it had held on tightly to the stranger,
