Raeleigh finally nodded. Pleased, Deanna smiled and said, "So, it's me who owes you, Raeleigh. We'll be good friends. I'll make it up to you and treat you well. Okay?" "All right." "Then, let's rest." Deanna was about to hop onto Raeleigh's bed when Scarlette stopped her. "Don't. I don't like you coming here. It's already a tight squeeze for both of us, so don't even think about joining in." "Raeleigh, why don't you just sleep in my bed?" Deanna said, tugging on Raeleigh's arm. Raeleigh couldn't refuse Deanna, so she said, "How about I sleep in my own bed? Scarlette, it's dawn already, so you should be able to sleep now." Raeleigh wrested her quilt from Deanna and she went to lie down on her own bed. At first, Deanna remained silent, but her eyes glittered with a calculative look. Raeleigh lay down on her bed. Scarlette thought that Raeleigh would get some rest since she stayed up all night. Anyone would feel tired after staying up all night. Scarlet
"Zorion, what are you doing?" Raeleigh's face was drained of color from the shock and she grabbed at Zorion's clothes, demanding an answer from him. However, he didn't even have time to answer her because his clothes were of such a loose fit that they were practically being pulled off him under her tight grip. Raeleigh caught a glimpse of Zorion's body under his clothes and let go immediately, as if she had been scalded. Zorion lowered his head to look at Raeleigh and pinched her hard. He didn't answer Raeleigh's question. Instead, he looked down at his clothes, which were nearly falling off. "Aren't you taking things too quickly?" The moment Zorion said this, Raeleigh blushed with exasperation and said hotly, "Put me down. I can walk by myself." "If I do that, you'll walk right out of here." Zorion chuckled and raised his eyebrows at her questioningly, then he looked ahead and walked straight through the door towards the hot springs. Hot steam swirled up
Raeleigh remained silent and Zorion also gradually said no more. The water temperature was kept at a constant high heat and Raeleigh quickly started feeling a little dizzy, but she knew that she couldn't fall asleep while in the bath. Soon, Deanna called out to Zorion from the other end of the bath. "Zorion, my head is spinning a little." Zorion immediately went over to Deanna, but before he went, he urged Raeleigh to go with him. "I don't think I'll go over. You can go and take a look. I'll get out of the water in a bit." Raeleigh really didn't want to dawdle in the hot springs much longer. Raeleigh's calm reply put Zorion at ease. She didn't seem like she was going to run away. Nonetheless, he said, "Don't leave. If you're dizzy, just wait outside the water." "I know," Raeleigh replied and Zorion left. Raeleigh was about to get out, but then she felt a ripple in the water. Something was approaching her. Raeleigh looked at the water around her. A small bo
When the news finally reached Raeleigh's ears, it had already spread all over campus. Many people hated her for it. Wherever she walked, rocks would be thrown at her. As Raeleigh walked, someone threw a rock towards her from behind. The stone hit Raeleigh's back. Raeleigh spun around to look at the culprit, but there was no one around. Scarlette was left speechless by the whole affair. "Raeleigh, if this continues, we will soon cause a riot on campus," she said worriedly. Raeleigh glanced at Scarlette and replied, "What does this have to do with me? It's not my fault. Are you putting the blame on me?" Scarlette was the only person left in Raeleigh's world, so Raeleigh could only vent her frustrations on her. Scarlette appeared aggrieved. She shrugged and muttered, "Go ahead and rage at me as you wish." Raeleigh gave Scarlette an apologetic look. "I'm sorry. I have a bad temper. I shouldn't vent my anger on you." Scarlette raised her eyebr
Raeleigh and Scarlette soon arrived at Aeon Computer Center. They got out of the car and Scarlette immediately led Raeleigh inside. It was almost closing time. Like many other retail shops, Aeon Computer Center closed at nine o'clock at night. It was nearly eight o'clock by the time Raeleigh and Scarlette reached. After checking the time several times, Stuart whispered in Jepherson's ear, "It closes at nine o'clock." Jepherson continued reading Raeleigh's book. He didn't even raise his head when he heard what Stuart had to say, and merely said calmly, "Call them and have them delay their closing time." "Right away," Stuart replied and instantly went to make the call. Just as he was calling the computer center, Scarlette received a message. Then, she brought Raeleigh to the designated store. "Here, it's here." Scarlette pointed at one of the stores, pulling Raeleigh along. Raeleigh followed obediently. Both of them went into the store, which specialized in laptop
Raeleigh was a simple girl. Whether she was good or bad, who cared. Some people just loved to bully others and would only stop once they reached a certain point. Raeleigh wanted to stick it out at Elkton University for a few years and she wanted to pass her time at university peacefully. She didn't want to become an alumni well-known for being associated with notorious scandals. Scarlette had spoken without thinking, spilling the beans to Jepherson. "Stuart." Jepherson's voice was calm as always, as if no problem was too much for him to handle. "Mr. Jepherson," Stuart answered quickly. "Take care of it." "Right away." Jepherson gave no further explanation and Stuart didn't say anything else either. But once Jepherson gave the order, there would be those who would surely suffer. Raeleigh felt uneasy. She thought that she would be sent back to Novalie's, but she was taken to the entrance of Richards Hotel instead. When the car stopped
Raeleigh didn't know when she fell asleep. However, when she woke up in the morning, she was in Jepherson's arms. They still had their pajamas on them. What's more, Jepherson was lying flat on his back, and she was the one hugging him. Feeling a little bewildered, Raeleigh hurriedly disentangled herself from Jepherson's embrace, waking him up in the process. When Jepherson awoke, he didn't say a word. He merely looked at Raeleigh as he lay in bed. If it was not because his phone started to ring, he wouldn't have gotten up. Raeleigh had been in a daze for more than ten minutes when Jepherson got down from the bed to get his phone. It was Horacio calling, the president of Elkton University. He had called specially to ask Jepherson about the incident at the school. Jepherson gestured towards the curtains. Raeleigh noticed that the light outside the window was shining directly onto Jepherson's face. He probably found it blinding. They didn't close the curtains
"You're fine with just a penny?" Scarlette said disbelievingly. "A penny is good enough. I'll just take it as recycling." "I'll help you ask about it when I get the chance then," Scarlette answered helplessly. There was no way that she was going to fork out her own money for it. Deanna grabbed Scarlette's arm happily as she counted the number of electronic devices at home that she could sell. "Your family is so rich. Do you still lack that little bit of money?" Scarlette asked, confused. "After I sell them, I can donate the money to those in need. Then, they can eat better." "You can do that with your allowance." "That's different." ...... While they were talking, Zorion took Raeleigh's laptop and opened it. "How many tens of thousands did you buy this for?" Scarlette's jaw nearly dropped when she heard this. Raeleigh just stared at Zorion. "Less than 4,000 dollars," Raeleigh replied. "Oh?" Deanna's eyes lit up. "I want
