No one in the car said a word. Soon, several people got out of the car and walked towards Black Bear's car. Shortly after, the car door was yanked open and Raeleigh and Scarlette got out of the car. Black Bear thought for a moment and said, "If you like, then these two women are yours." A wise man would submit to the circumstances. Black Bear thought it was just as well if he could curry favour with the Richards family. How many people in Capital City eagerly awaited to curry favour with the Richards family? They all were simply stuck at not having the opportunity to do so. That day, God had opened a door for him and Black Bear was determined to grab hold of the opportunity. So, he went with the flow and presented Raeleigh and Scarlette as gifts. Raeleigh and Scarlette were sent to the front of the car. The person inside the car said something. Then, the car door quickly swung open. Raeleigh was invited into that car while Scarlette was led to a separate c
"I've had enough." Raeleigh dabbed at her mouth, and she then put down the napkin. "Hmm, you haven't had much." Having said that, Jepherson stood up, walked over to Raeleigh, and once again offered her his hand. She stood up from her seat, but did not take his hand. "Let's go," said Raeleigh as she moved forward to leave. Jepherson followed after her. Outside the door, Jepherson said to Raeleigh, "You're going to have to stay over at my place tonight. I wonder whether you are scared or not?" Raeleigh looked at Jepherson and said, "You could send me back." "If we go back now, then who knows what will happen tomorrow. Maybe the entrance of Capital University will be packed with people, just to watch you make the walk of shame. Even it we don't go back, it's fine. If we go back and you get out of the car in the middle of the night, what would the consequences be?" Raeleigh pursed her lips. As she listened to Jepherson's words, every word he had just utt
Raeleigh didn't speak but simply stared at the ceiling. She turned and walked round and round, looking at the ceiling, at how it blended with the rest of the designs of the room. The four corners of this room were at a right angle. It meant that the designer had put in a lot of effort. The room was very big. Normally, other angles such as the 60-degree ones will be the preferred choice as it is naturally more stable. However, skyscrapers like this had their own strengthened framework. The designer had to consider utility, maximization of space, and the smooth movement from one end to another. Perhaps, that was why he had chosen the 90-degree angle. Raeleigh turned around and looked at Jepherson, who had been observing her. She asked, "Is your specialty in interior design?" Raeleigh had heard some things about Jepherson in the school. Having been forced into a relationship of sorts with him, she naturally had to keep a listening ear for matters regarding him. Jepherson
"I too can sleep on the floor," Raeleigh said but she still went to pull back the covers and settled into the bed. After lying down, she looked at Jepherson. There was another bed, and a couch, but he had chosen to sleep on the ground, so it was really not her fault and she wasn't about to guilt-trip herself. Jepherson found it funny. He saw through Raeleigh's thoughts and said, "This way, I can be a little closer to you." Raeleigh froze for a moment. Then, she turned around and looked at the roof, lost in thought. It didn't take long before Raeleigh fell asleep. Jepherson waited for her to fall asleep. Then, he got up from the ground and walked to Raeleigh's drawing. He carefully studied the drawing and raised his head and looked at the ceiling from time to time. This design was really suitable to be used here. He could imagine it. Every time night fell, it was as if the room was under the starry sky. It was really beautiful. If he could combine them toge
Everyone had to gather at the sports ground, so all the students at Elkton were too busy cooperating to remember about the whole Raeleigh affair. Before Raeleigh got out of the car, she was still worried. However, when she got out of the car, the front gate was deserted, save for the principal of the university, who stood there waiting for Jepherson's arrival. She saw no one else. When the principal saw Raeleigh alight the car together with Jepherson, he immediately strode over to welcome them, going first to Jepherson to greet him. "Young Master Richards." Jepherson did not reply to him. The principal looked at Raeleigh and said, "Raeleigh, the university had organized a car designing competition and there'll be people coming over shortly to talk about it, so why don't you go in first." Raeleigh took a look at Jepherson, nodded to the principal, and then hurried to her dorm. She didn't dare to wear the clothes Jepherson had given her as she was afraid of
Raeleigh was in great pain after having fallen to the ground. She only managed to get up with Scarlette's help. Then, Quirina rested on one of her girlfriend's outstretched hands in a rather unbecoming pose. "If you want to leave, then you can crawl out from under my crotch. Then, I'll let go of the fact that you have just insulted me." Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Quirina's posture. Quirina was wearing a royal blue pleated skirt. The way she raised her legs was a very indecent gesture. When Raeleigh was about to stand up from the ground, a guy came up and gave her a push, causing her to fall down again. Raeleigh did not get up after that, but Quirina was waiting for her proudly. "Isn't it lively here?" Zorion came up from behind. His voice was low and elegant. Everyone was shocked when he came over. "Isn't that Mr. Whalen?" Quirina quickly put her foot back down and turned to bat her eyelids coyly at Zorion. "Mr. Whalen?" Zorion didn't even take
"Then, draw another one, write down your name, and hand it in." Raeleigh shook her head. "Forget it. I'm not going to do it." "How can you do that? It's your work. Someone stole it. We have to tell the lecturer." Scarlette was so excited that Raeleigh had to hold her in place and said, "Don't go. Leave this matter to me. I'll go and hand in the drawings with you tomorrow." "Raeleigh, you are too unassertive. This is exactly why they pick on you." "I have no evidence to clarify this matter. No matter who took my blueprints, once a similar one is submitted, then the school will clamp down hard on both for plagiarism." Raeleigh insisted and Scarlette found herself speechless. In the end, the matter amounted to nothing. In the evening, Scarlette said to Raeleigh, "If you're not attending the event, then there is little meaning for me to go, so I'll skip it too." "Go and do your thing," Raeleigh said to Scarlette, who simply shook her head. It was meaning
Hannah was dressed rather plainly. She wore a skirt suit, with plain and inexpensive accessories. Sitting next to Deanna, people couldn't help but to admire her. Many people thought that Hannah was Deanna's older sister, but after she addressed her as mother, everyone understood. Hannah had preserved her looks well. No one could tell her actual age from her face. "Mom, I haven't seen Raeleigh yet. Let me introduce her to you later." It was expected that Deanna's design would be selected. Deanna and Zorion had had been previously trained overseas in car designing. Then, they ended up studying in Elkton University, simply because Deanna liked Jepherson. Otherwise, with Rayan's financial capabilities, it was inconceivable that he would have them graduate from a local university. Hannah patted her daughter's hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense again. If your brother is not happy when he goes back, then he will ignore you." In fact, there was no need for Hannah to at
