Raeleigh looked down at the bag of snacks on her lap. She did not usually eat junk food, but somehow she was feeling a little hungry that day, and she wanted to vent her anger by eating. Raeleigh reached into the bag and took out some packet of cookies. She opened it and began eating it. Santiago took a drag on his cigarette and asked her, "Are you alright?" Raeleigh chewed on a cookie and lowered her head. "I'm coping." Santiago laughed and blew a puff of white smoke. "This is how society works. They think that it's better to get ahead in the world by abandoning their own principles than to endure poverty. It's alright for you to do bad things, but it's a sin if you are poor." Raeleigh looked at Santiago and asked, "What should we do now? Deanna has not been found yet." "You're such a good friend to Deanna. If she knew half of your goodwill, then things would not have ended up like this," Santiago did not answer her question. He took a drag on his c
The two of them then quietly made their way to the inpatient department. Santiago made a gesture indicating Raeleigh to enter first. She went in from the side entrance, and he followed suit. They were not surprised that the people in the cars had already fallen asleep, considering the fact that it was already very late. Raeleigh breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that there wasn't anyone guarding the door. They opted not to take the elevator because it was usually equipped with surveillance cameras. Raeleigh quickly made her way to the stairway. She had briefly scouted the place and roughly knew which rooms were still lit. Santiago did not stop her and followed her up the stairs. It did not take long before they reached the second floor. When they arrived on the second floor, they realized that all the lights had been turned off, only ultraviolet lights were on and that there wasn't anyone on the floor. Raeleigh whispered to Santiago, "Do yo
The elevator soon arrived at the first floor. Santiago leaned against one side of the elevator and looked up at Deanna. When the elevator door opened, there were about five people waiting for them. Immediately, two people rushed into the elevator. Santiago gripped Deanna's thighs with both hands and proceeded to kick the closest person to him. Then, he turned around and kicked the other person. One fell to the ground and the other one dodged his kick. Deanna was sniffling. She cried even harder and somehow still managed to utter, "My brother will not let you guys go. My brother is Zorion Whalen!" Santiago was so frustrated when he heard her words. But then again, he was impressed that she could still utter those words at that time. Santiago soon emerged from the elevator and began fighting with the rest of the people. While he was fighting, a group of people brought Raeleigh out. "Stop fighting, or else I'm going to kill your friend here," one
"I don't mean anything else. Since your friends abandoned you here, I think it's best for you to cooperate with us. It'll be good for both parties." Flynt lowered his head and said, "There are so many ways I can deal with you, yet I don't want to hurt you. I still have some patience." Raeleigh said nothing. She looked as if she was about to pass out as blood kept dripping from her arm. She could not focus on what Flynt was saying. She swayed a little, but she did not say anything. "You are very beautiful. If you wish for it, I can give you whatever you want, including becoming part of the Moore family," Flynt said, and he could not help but to frown. His initial plan was for her to cooperate with him. He did not have any other intentions, but why did he suddenly say those words? He wondered whether the Moore family would accept her? Raeleigh still did not say anything. Flynt lifted his quilt and got out of bed. He walked over to Raeleigh's side and p
"Someone, please call the doctor," Jepherson ordered. He was still holding Raeleigh's hand. She wanted to pull her hand back, but she couldn't. Soon, the group of doctors entered the ward and immediately greeted Jepherson, "Mr. Jepherson." "Can you please give Raeleigh a thorough examination to check whether she's alright?" "Yes, Mr. Jepherson." One of the doctors quickly examined Raeleigh. Once he was done, he immediately backed away. "Mr. Jepherson, everything checks out alright. You can rest assured." Jepherson felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his mind when he heard that Raeleigh was fine. He heaved a sigh of relief. Jepherson was silent for a moment before finally answering the doctor. "Thank you for everything. You guys can leave now. I'll call you if there's anything." "Alright then." The doctors left, one after another. Jepherson glanced at Scarlette, who looked very worried, and said, "Can you please go and get
After Santiago finished his breakfast, he drank some water before heading into the bathroom. Once he came out, he looked at Raeleigh and asked, "Is there anything you need me to do? If not, then I'll leave." Santiago spoke as he walked towards the door. Raeleigh quickly said, "Can you please bring me my laptop?" Santiago turned around and said, "Alright, no problem." After saying that, Santiago cast a glance at Jepherson and left. Scarlette decided to hitch a ride with Santiago back to the university. Throughout the entire journey, she kept her head down and remained silent. Santiago saw Zorion standing at the university entrance just as he pulled into a parking lot. Zorion purposely came to the university to find Santiago. Santiago got out of the car and made his way into the university. He greeted Zorion when he saw him. "Hey, what are you doing here?" "Where is Raeleigh? How is she?" "She's dead. You can extend your condolences,"
The driver immediately pulled over by the roadside. "Get out!" Jepherson immediately ordered Stuart as soon as the car stopped. Stuart did not say a word. He opened the door and got out of the car. As soon as he closed the door, the driver drove the car away. Stuart then got into one of the cars behind and immediately made a call. Since Jepherson had made up his mind, then Stuart felt that it would be better for him to keep his mouth shut lest it caused trouble. When they arrived at the Whalen family villa, Stuart immediately got out of the car and made his way to Jepherson's car to help him open the door. Jepherson swiftly got out of the car. As soon as he got out of the car, he straightened his gray coat and walked towards the entrance of the Whalen family villa. "Mr. Jepherson." The people who were standing at the entrance of the Whalen family villa, greeted him as soon as he approached. Jepherson never smiled whenever he c
Jepherson immediately got into the car after coming out of the Whalen family villa. Stuart had learnt his lesson from the previous car ride. He immediately kept his mouth shut as soon as he got into the car. The driver drove the car and asked, "Mr. Jepherson, where are we going next?" "Let's head over to the Moore Family." "The Moore family?" Stuart was surprised. Jepherson raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Stuart immediately cowered in fear. He did not dare to say anything more. It did not take long before they arrived at the Moore family villa. Jepherson got out of the car and waited at the door. Stuart immediately walked to the door and rang the doorbell. There were a few people standing at the entrance, but they did not say anything. To put it bluntly, the Moore family villa was not a place for anyone to visit as they wished. The only people who were allowed into the villa were of high status. As for the others, they could ignore
