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
"Who did this?" Scarlette asked, furious. Raeleigh pulled Scarlette aside and comforted her, "Forget it. Take a look and see if there's anything missing." Raeleigh heard that a video of Meica kneeling from that incident in the past had been uploaded online again. The video had caused an uproar in the university forum and fingers were being pointed at Jepherson and her. Later, another video of the incident was posted. The second video exposed Meica's horrible attitude. Not only was Quirina scorned, but Meica was implicated too. Since Meica had been humiliated, Quirina's return would definitely cause more trouble for Raeleigh. Raeleigh was indifferent about those things as she just wanted to finish college quietly. Scarlette refused to calm down, insisting, "Raeleigh..." "I know, but we have to pick these things up eventually," Raeleigh looked at her pitiable underwear. Her face was burning hot, not because of embarrassment but because she could not tolerate
Quirina turned away from the dorm and gritted her teeth. The matter would not blow over that easily. "Let's go," Quirina left the dormitory and brought her minions away. Raeleigh went to the door and pushed it open. Zorion passed the baskets to Raeleigh and Scarlette, who set them on the floor. Then, he closed the door casually, closing off the onlookers meandering around outside the door. "Take a look and see if anything is missing," Zorion lowered his head and glanced at them. Raeleigh took a rough look at the baskets, saying, "Nothing is missing. Thank you so much for your help." "Raeleigh, aren't you being too kind? Aren't you angry that Quirina bullied you like that?" Deanna was furious and she despised Quirina. Raeleigh answered, "It's normal that classmates would have friction between them. I can't pick a fight with her because she bullied me. It won't settle anything." Deanna widened her clear doe eyes, thinking that she had misheard her. She
A scrape on the hand was no big deal, but Marissa could not bear such treatment anymore. The Moore family had gone overboard! The matter a few days ago had just died down, yet they were stirring up a ruckus again. What's more, their attack was directed at the naïve Deanna! Jepherson was no ordinary person and he deciphered Stuart's expression immediately. He suddenly stood up and walked towards the door. "Book a ticket for me," Jepherson commanded as he walked out. Marissa paused for a moment. Then, she stood up, followed him to the door, and praised, "That's more like it." Something came to Stuart's mind. He turned to look at Marissa, saying, "Madam Marissa, I heard that Mr. Whalen doesn't want his parents to find out about the matter. What do you think about that?" Marissa glared at him, "I'll play along with them. Are you chastising me now?" "No, no, I would never," Stuart let out a sigh of relief. "What are you doing? Aren't you going to ac
Meica quickly followed them. Upon seeing Quirina's mangled face when they entered the room, she fainted. Yousif walked to the bed in the medical room and was stumped when he saw Quirina's damaged face which was covered with blood. She really had been disfigured. The principal, who had come, explained, "Mr. Moore, we also just found out about the matter, but we dare not deal with it." He was in the dark about what was going on, but ruining someone's face to such an extent was really an extreme method. The matter probably had something to do with Jepherson. If anyone was to blame, they could only blame Quirina for being too domineering. After so many incidents, she still had no idea how to restrain herself. "I don't want this thing to be known to others. I hope you take care of this well," said Yousif as he bent down and picked Quirina up. He turned around and walked towards the door. After finally waking up, Meica was supported by Vann to exit the room.
Santiago went home once more to retrieve Jepherson's sperm from the sperm bank. After that, Raeleigh got pregnant through medical procedures. However, when Raeleigh was only three days pregnant, the doctor made a major discovery. He informed her that he made progress with Shaney's illness , and that he might have misdiagnosed her condition. At that time, Raeleigh had been so overjoyed that Shaney was fine, and she only remembered that she was pregnant after half a month since learning about Shaney. By the time she remembered that she was with child, she wanted to stop her pregnancy. However, Santiago persuaded her to give the baby to him. Raeleigh pondered about it for a long time before finally agreeing. ...... Time passed in a blink of an eye, and Raeleigh had never expected for things to turn out the way it did. She gave birth to her second child, and Shaney had made a full recovery. Santiago had told her that the baby was the will of God, and he
When Raeleigh got out of the car, she began staring at the Richards family's courtyard. Although the Richards family had already buried Marissa's body, Raeleigh was still unwilling to go back. However, as she gazed at Carsten's precious little face that was looking at her expectantly, she had no choice but to follow Jepherson inside. At that moment, Santigo and the other children were in the yard. When Santiago saw Raeleigh and Jepherson, he smiled and gestured at Jepherson. "What are you doing?" Raeleigh asked when she saw Santiago. "Nothing." Though Raeleigh did not believe Jepherson, she decided not to ask further. When Carsten saw Forden and Shaney, he immediately tried to break away from Jepherson's arms, wanting to get to them. The children were all gathered in the Richards family manor that day. Coupled with the four other children of the Whalen family, there were ten children altogether, and they almost occupied the entire courtyard. Ra
Raeleigh said nothing as Carsten continued sinking his teeth into Jepherson's neck. She stared in shock as blood seeped out of his wound. Jepherson raised his hand and patted Carsten gently, then walked to the bed and sat down. After a while, Carsten finally fell asleep. He closed his eyes as he dozed off in Jepherson's arms. Meanwhile, Raeleigh had rushed out of the room to ask the hotel staff to prepare disinfectants before going back into the room to help Jepherson clean his wound. Jepherson leaned against the wall, still holding Carsten in his arms and unwilling to let go. Raeleigh frowned. "What should we do?" Jepherson's voice was a little hoarse. He had been busy for the past two days entertaining guests. "He got scared because of the crowd. He thought that you didn't want him anymore since he couldn't find you, and probably thinks that I'm the one who forced him to stay there." After bandaging Jepherson's wound, Raeleigh helped wipe Carsten's mouth. Sudd
After Raeleigh and the others left, Santiago walked to Zorion's car and stopped him. Zorion casted a glance outside. "Rossie, you should go first. He won't show any mercy once I get off." "You knew he wouldn't show you mercy, so why didn't you think of that before you caused trouble?" "I was just kidding! Who knew he'd have such a bad temper? I didn't expect him to take it seriously." Rossie sighed and gave in. Glancing at Zorion, she finally understood that he was only using her as an excuse to escape whenever he got into trouble. She got out of the car and looked at Santiago who stood opposite her. "Long time no see." "Where's Zorion?" "He's so afraid of you that he doesn't even dare to come out," said Rossie. "It's too late to be scared." He walked up to Zorion's car with the rod in his hand, then raised the stick and smashed it against the car until it was completely wrecked. When he was done, he tossed the stick aside, turned to pick
After leaving the kindergarten, Raeleigh followed Santiago to the Richards family manor. It had been four years since she returned, so she was no longer familiar with the place. Santiago went in, put Carsten down and asked the children to keep themselves entertained. He then looked at Raeleigh and said, "I came back this time because Mrs. Richards is dying. She has been unconscious for a while now. I came back to see her for the last time." Raeleigh asked, "Mrs. Richards?" "Yes. Jepherson hasn't been home these couple of days because he has gone to visit her. He didn't tell you about it because Mrs. Richards doesn't want to see you. While she was still herself, she did say that she would never let you into the family, and that she didn't want to see you ever again. Jepherson went to take care of her but was worried about you. So, he asked me to come home to take a look and it was only then did I find out that Carsten is autistic. This is on your plate now."
When the time came, Raeleigh enrolled Carsten into a kindergarten. On the first day of school, Carsten was bullied. Raeleigh felt sorry for him as she gently touched his swollen face. He had been beaten because he could not speak. She wanted to confront the bully, but Jepherson stopped her. He told her that Carsten should resolve this matter by himself. That year, Raeleigh could not sleep well at night. Hair loss became an issue, and she was exhausted all the time. But after half a month, the children stopped bullying Carsten. Instead, their parents came to Raeleigh's home. "Just take a look at your child..." The parents pointed to their child, and Raeleigh was confused when she saw a boy about the same height as Carsten. The boy seemed to have taken a serious beating, but when Carsten had gotten beaten up like this, Raeleigh hadn't gone to look for trouble with the bully's parents, did she? Raeleigh retorted, "And? It's normal for
The snow was falling heavily. Jepherson put away the phone and took Raeleigh back into the house. The two stood inside and watched the snow. Meanwhile, Hadrian and Scarlette were busy in the kitchen, not daring to make a sound. The Richards family manor remained quiet when winter was approaching. None of the family members returned even on New Year's Day. Raeleigh went to the yard and waited for them in advance, but no one came back. After New Year's Day, Raeleigh returned to her home with Jepherson. Her family members were all surprised to see her pregnant when she got home. They did not expect Raeleigh to be pregnant after being missing for several months. Moreover, she was almost due. Everyone in the Osteen family knew that Raeleigh stayed because of the baby inside her belly. Undoubtedly, the baby was Jepherson's. However, they wondered where Santiago went. Since Raeleigh said nothing, no one dared to ask about it. They all ignored the incident and sil
Raeleigh was stopped by Jepherson's men at the entrance of the village. 'I knew it wouldn't be easy for me to run away.' "Madam Raeleigh, Mr. Richards is waiting for you." Raeleigh had no choice but to go back with them. At the same time, Jepherson sat on his wheelchair outside the village with a blanket on his lap and upon seeing Raeleigh, he breathed a sigh of relief. Raeleigh walked up to him, "Don't be complacent. I'll leave one day." Shifting his gaze to Raeleigh's belly, Jepherson stretched out his hand and pulled her to him. Despite being too weak to walk, he had a firm grip. Raeleigh lost her balance and fell onto his lap. She tried to escape, but he said immediately, "Don't move." Although his voice sounded terrifying to others, he was trying to negotiate. Everyone turned around to look at them, and Raeleigh blushed. Jepherson covered her body with the blanket, then placed his hand onto her belly. Raeleigh tensed up immediately. She ra
Raeleigh had been depressed for a while after Santiago's departure. After a few days, she finally calmed down a little. Jepherson's health had not improved during this period of time. Whenever he was free, he would stare at Shaney's photo in a daze. Deanna and Jacky had helped take care of Jepherson when Raeleigh fell ill. After Raeleigh recovered, she returned to taking care of him herself. However, Jepherson had been in such poor health that he couldn't even go downstairs. It took Raeleigh a lot of effort to help him get down, especially when he was unwilling to go downstairs. "Autumn is coming. I don't want to go down." He was saying that it was cold downstairs. Raeleigh replied, "I can't take care of you all the time. Are you going to exhaust me to death? Your parents left you alone and ignored you. Santiago abandoned you too. What do you want me to do? I have to work. I also have to take care of you..." "Then stop working. Take care of me." Rael
