Marissa held Deanna's small hand. "Stay for dinner. Isn't your school having an off day today?" "Zorion said he needs to go home later, so..." Deanna carefully glanced at Jepherson. Jepherson's attitude was the same as usual. He didn't make much of a fuss as he accompanied Marissa and the rest to the Ink Garden. Stuart asked the chauffeur to drive the car away and he then followed him. Jepherson helped Marissa to the door. The moment they entered, they saw the person sitting inside. Zorion was sitting on the couch, reading a book. When they heard someone approaching, they looked up at the door. When they entered the door, they saw Zorion standing up and greeted him politely. "Jepherson." "When did you arrive?" Jepherson asked. "This morning." Zorion smiled as if he were a close friend. Seeing Marissa coming over, he raised his hand to give her a hand. Marissa, of course, liked Zorion. She didn't have a granddaughter in this family. If she did, then s
Raeleigh looked at Quirina and smiled. She did not get angry but she said, "We are going to the cafeteria. Please get out of the way." "Get out of the way? You've got a lot of guts. I think you're asking for trouble! Get down on your knees!" Quirina suddenly said in a harsh voice. Raeleigh just looked at Quirina. In order to retain her place of study here, she couldn't fight with Quirina. Otherwise, she would've given Quirina a good beating. "Excuse me, who are you asking to kneel down before you? Do you know no shame? Your last incident of stealing and plagiarizing Raeleigh's work hasn't even been settled yet, yet today you dare come here to cause trouble. The one who should be kneeling down today is you." Scarlette couldn't be bothered about the consequences. She only knew that if a person had neither sense nor shame, then it should be beaten into them, be it physically or metaphorically. "Scarlette, I initially had no intention of bringing you into this, but
Scarlette was arrested for the assault and battery of a schoolmate and attempted evasion from arresting officers. Raeleigh too was arrested for the obstruction of justice. "If you both tell us what happened truthfully and admit to your crimes, then we can let you off easily on account of your student status, and not announce this matter to the public." The police officer opposite Raeleigh raised his hand and smacked the file he held in the other. Raeleigh looked back at him and replied, "We did not do anything. We don't even know Quirina Moore." Raeleigh insisted that she didn't know Quirina. The police officer was angry and paced around in the room. They had been interrogating her for an hour. No matter how much pressure they put on her, they couldn't find anything. Raeleigh just insisted that she didn't know Quirina Moore. So, the police couldn't do anything to Raeleigh. If she didn't know her, then how could she have fought her? Scarlette was even harder to d
"Are you hungry? I prepared some chicken soup for you. Have some. It'll help with the heat stroke." Scarlette adjusted the bed and brought a bowl of chicken soup she had lovingly made for Raeleigh. Raeleigh reached out her hand to take it, sipped it, and asked, "You know how to cook chicken soup?" "I am an orphan after all. What don't we orphans know?" Scarlette sat by her side and Raeleigh was momentarily stunned. She raised her head and looked at Scarlette. She did not speak but ate the chicken soup in her hand quietly. Raeleigh handed over the small bowl to Scarlette after she finished eating. Then, she took a look at the weather outside and said, "What day is it today?" "It's Thursday," Scarlette answered while putting the small bowl aside. Raeleigh looked at her quizzically. "Isn't it Wednesday." "Wednesday has passed. You've been sleeping for a day." Scarlette turned around and sat down, Raeleigh knew only then that she had been in hospital for a whole day
Marissa sat down with Jepherson's help and he told her all about Quirina stealing Raeleigh's work. Marissa really hadn't seen it coming. This little punk from the Moore family named Quirina was so shameless that she had stolen someone else's drawing and was now still trying to fight for her 'reputation'. "How did this kind of person from the Moore family come into being?" Marissa had nothing else to say. Jepherson looked tired. He got up and said, "I'm going to rest. I have to go out at night. If someone from the Moore family comes, then please help me deal with it." "Someone from the Moore family?" Marissa looked at her grandson thoughtfully. Jepherson didn't say anything either and went back to the room to get some rest. Marissa called out to Stuart, "Stuart, is the Moore family looking for the Young Master?" "Madam, Yousif's butler had come to look for him earlier," Stuart answered truthfully. Such a thing had indeed happened. Marissa's face sudde
Jingyun stood up and said, "Well, we can't break our promise. Anran, let's go back first. Don't forget my phone number. If you have something to say, remember to call us." "I see. Be careful on your way." "All right." Anran finally sent Jiang Yuecheng away. She stepped on the snow and came back to lie on the bed, as if she was very tired. She took a look at Anran and asked, "Are you scared?" Anran raised her eyes and fixed her eyes on walking on the snow. "Jingyun is a naive person. They are too far away from each other." "Really? You also saw it?" It was funny for her to walk on the snow. She pulled the quilt for Anran and said, "It's almost 10 o'clock. Take a break." "You should take a rest too. Don't play it anymore. Too many games will hurt your body." "I know more than you. You rest." The snow-covered man checked the door to make sure there was nothing wrong before he went back to his bed to rest. After a good night, Tang Xia g
After Raeleigh laid low at school for a few days, she was summoned by the school authorities. After class, the teacher informed her, "Raeleigh, please head to the principal's office. There's a matter to be discussed." Upon hearing that, Raeleigh walked to the principal's office with Scarlette, no questions asked. When she arrived, she knocked on the door and was promptly met with the principal telling her to enter. She and Scarlette pushed the door open and did just that. Raleigh froze the moment she stepped foot inside. Jepherson was sitting there with his back to her. She then glanced at Scarlette. Scarlette shrugged. Essentially, she was insinuating that he had business with only Raeleigh and not her.' "I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave first," said Scarlette as she turned to leave. The principal also stood up and walked out, "Scarlette, wait a minute. I have something to verify with you. Mr. Jepherson, I'll head out too to see
It was ten o'clock at night when Raeleigh and Jepherson came out of the principal's office. There was barely anyone left in the school. Stuart was waiting for Jepherson downstairs. When Raeleigh exited the room, Stuart hastily stepped outside the compound. At such an hour, they would attract people's attention by driving the car inside the compound. Raeleigh walked Jepherson out. As they were walking, Jepherson asked Raeleigh, "How are you going to deal with the design?" Raeleigh was not worried about that, so she answered casually, "I haven't thought about it. Since it has already caused a great disturbance, it's inappropriate for me to take it out again. If I get it, I'll consider it a stroke of good luck. If not, then that's just the way things are. If it was meant to be mine, it will be. If it's not, then I can't force it to be. I never wanted to participate in the car design competition anyway." "The Richards Group is extremely prominent in the automo
