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
Marissa initially wanted to ask, but when she saw Jepherson's serious expression, she had no choice but to call Stuart over. "Stuart, come here," Marissa was doing this to prove to Jepherson that even though he was pulling a long face, she still had her ways. If he did not want to say anything, then she could still ask Stuart. "Is there anything I can do for you, Old Madam Marissa?" Stuart immediately rushed over to Marissa's side. She looked up at Stuart and said, "How's Jepherson lately? His complexion is not good. Is he ill?" Stuart did not know what to say. It sounded as if there was a hidden meaning behind her words. "Mr. Jepherson has been well. He's just a little worn out after what happened to Miss Deanna. We were initially out on a business trip and have been constantly on the move. Once we received the call about Miss Deanna, we immediately rushed back. He's probably not in the mood because Miss Deanna was rash and made a fuss. He even went to th
Marissa suddenly changed her mind, and as she also inquired a lot about Raeleigh, Stuart had naturally said some good things about her. The more Marissa listened, the more she felt like Raeleigh was remarkable, aside from her family background. Thank heavens they had Jepherson in the family acting as a pillar of support. As for Santiago, it was another matter altogether. She realized that Raeleigh was indeed a likable girl. She might be fairly young, but as Stuart had told her, Raeleigh was talented in designing. She would surely make a name for herself. Plus, Zorion had his eyes on her, but she fell for her grandson instead, and she was proud of it. Who was Zorion anyway? Marissa was in a good mood, so she ordered, "You should buy an expensive fruit basket and send it to Raeleigh. Send it to her personally. Just say that I was anxious about Deanna the other day. I hope she doesn't mind if I invite her over next time." After saying that, Marissa went
After pondering for a while, Raeleigh stood up and walked back upstairs. It was obvious that she did not have enough strength. As she was walking, a pair of feet stopped in front of Raeleigh. As she looked up, she saw Jepherson's face. Jepherson bent down and picked Raeleigh up. Then, he turned around and walked upstairs. "You don't have to carry me. If you take the stairs, then it will take a lot of effort for you to carry me." Raeleigh did not struggle, but she quietly pointed out. Jepherson laughed and hugged her even more tightly. "You don't believe in my strength?" Jepherson joked, but Raeleigh was stunned. She was silent since she rarely heard Jepherson make fun of her. "Your face is red." Jepherson smiled very proudly and continued up the stairs with Raeleigh in his arms. Raeleigh's room was on the sixth floor. As they climbed higher, Raeleigh got more worried about him. After all, there were multiple flights of stairs. It couldn't
Raeleigh didn't rest all night thinking about her interaction with Zorion. When she woke up the next morning, she still felt uncomfortable. "Just take the rest of the day off. Your grades are good, and you won't fail in the exam," Scarlette advised her. "It's nothing. Stop pestering me." Raeleigh went to class after breakfast. However, the two Whalen siblings were absent from class. When the lecturer saw her in such a disoriented state, she scolded her. Raeleigh didn't say a word but just stood there. The lecturer only treated her kindly because she benefited the class. Now that she lost this privilege, she didn't any spare mercy for her. And with that, she stood still. Her lecturer didn't respect her at all. The lecturer's words were a little harsh. She scolded her for taking her education lightly and for hooking up with others all day in school. She accused her of ruining the atmosphere of the school and affecting other students' classes. At that point,
The lecturer was so scared that she was even shivering. Everyone looked at the lecturer, who stood by the door. The lecturer lowered her head. Her face was pale as she broke into a cold sweat. Scarlette slyly cried out, "Our lecturer knows who did it." Santiago looked at the lecturer with great interest. "Is that so?" The lecturer took a few steps back and didn't say anything. Santiago asked, "Who did it? Admit it now." The whole class was silent, and Scarlette looked at the lecturer in a mischievous way. Raeleigh then said, "That's it, I won't leave." Santiago looked at her. Only then did he raise his eyebrows and asked, "You're not leaving?" "No," Raeleigh replied. Then, Santiago let go of Raeleigh's hands and snatched the book from Raeleigh's hands. Then, he walked to his seat and sat down. When Santiago sat down, everyone's hair stood on end. It was terrifying! The lecturer trembled as she went back to the platform. She be
Raeleigh stood still before walking to Santiago's side. She snatched her cell phone away from him and walked towards her room, dragging Santiago's wrist. Santiago turned around and looked at Zorion. He didn't say anything and just followed her. Scarlette wasn't here, so she didn't want to offend anyone. With the help of Santiago, Raeleigh wouldn't suffer any losses, so she didn't intend to leave the room at all. After returning to her room, she let go of Santiago's hand and glanced at him. Sometimes, she wished that she knew Santiago sooner. That way, no one would bully her or misunderstand her, much less disturb her. Everything would've been peaceful. One needed to take a look at her right then. The whole world was against her, and she was exhausted by the situation. Raeleigh opened the door to her dormitory as Santiago followed Raeleigh into the room. When she entered the room, she went to lie down, and so did Santiago. Scarlette was pretending to
"Who were you with this early in the morning?" Santiago asked while eating breakfast, not looking up to meet her gaze. Raeleigh said, "I went out for a walk." "Then, why didn't I see you? I also went out for a walk." Santiago continued to ask. "I didn't see you, either." Raeleigh sat up after being satiated and paid no attention to him. Scarlett raised her head to look at Raeleigh and Santiago. She thought that Santiago's future wife must be well-prepared for all his unnerving questions. Scarlette followed after Raeleigh. Raeleigh was on her way to the classroom when she was stopped by Scarlette. Scarlette asked her, "What were you doing in the morning?" "Nothing. I just went for a walk outside." Raeleigh didn't say anything. She was afraid that she would be scolded if she told her what had happened. Scarlette believed that Raeleigh would be safe with Santiago by her side. Without prying further, they went to the classroom. The university was h
