Chapter 1007 Is She Human?


    Raeleigh finally went to sleep in the morning after a productive night with Jepherson. The others had


    already started their day while they were still asleep.


    Santiago knocked on the door after breakfast, waking Raeleigh and Jepherson.


    "What''s the matter?" Jepherson raised his head and looked at the door. He pulled the nket over


    Raeleigh''s shoulder. He was wary that Santiago would break into the room ande in.


    Surely enough, Santiago opened the door and barged in the next moment.


    Jepherson''s face darkened. "Get out."


    Raeleigh woke up in fear and immediately hid in Jepherson''s arms. She felt so embarrassed that all


    their clothes were discarded on the floor.


    Jepherson put on a grave expression but Santiago obviously couldn''t care less. He stepped inside and


    sat on a wooden chair opposite the bed. He asked, "Is there any difference between sleeping with me


    and Raeleigh?"


    "Get lost!" Jepherson raised one of his hands towards the door while he patted Raeleigh, who was


    tensed up in his other arm. His face was cold. Santiago sensed his anger, stood up, and headed


    towards the door. When the door closed, Raeleigh cast a nce at the door. Santiago suddenly


    opened the door again, giving Raeleigh a scare.


    Jepherson held Raeleigh in his arms firmly and said, "P*ss off!"


    Santiagoughed heartily and closed the door behind him.


    Raeleigh kept her head low until she heard his footsteps getting further. Her face had turned pale out of


    fear. She looked up at Jepherson and asked, "What''s wrong with him?"


    "He has been unruly since he was a child. It is true that he has gone too far but he bears no ill will."


    Jepherson patted Raeleigh, stood up, and got out of bed. Raeleigh couldn''t fall back asleep and put on


    her clothes hastily.


    "Rest a bit more. He will not pester you without me." Jepherson went downstairs after he instructed


    Raeleigh.


    Jepherson locked the door of the room from the outside and Raeleigh could finally sleep in peace after


    hearing the click of the lock.


    Jepherson found Santiago downstairs and rolled his eyes in annoyance. He questioned him, "What are


    you causing trouble for?"


    "For fun. Why are you so afraid?" Santiago didn''t seem to care. Jepherson gave him a stern look and


    the two brothers started a stare-off with each other. It was almost three o''clock in the afternoon when


    Raeleigh finally woke up. Jepherson sat across from her while reading a book. He nced up from the


    book as Raeleigh sat up.


    "What do you want to eat?"


    Raeleigh sobered up. "What''s there to eat?"

    "There''s some porridge. There''ll be more food during dinner. Have some porridge first."


    "Are there any guests?" Raeleigh stood up. Jepherson shook his head and answered, "No one would


    "Santiago''s?" Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. She was getting more curious about his family. Jepherson


    stood up and gestured her out of the room. "Come with me."


    Raeleigh put on her shoes and went outside. Santiago was ying cards with Hadrian and a few


    others. They turned around to look at the noiseing from the stairs.


    As the two of them arrived downstairs, Santiago shifted in his seat and said, "Let''s y together."


    "I don''t want to y. Tell your sister-inw to y with you." Jepherson took off his coat and gave it to


    Raeleigh. Then, he turned around and went to the kitchen.


    Santiago smiled at Raeleigh. "My dear sister-inw, let''s y."


    Raeleigh froze, not knowing whether she should submit to being referred to as his sister-inw or not.


    She wanted to deny it but that would make her seem pretentious. After all, she had slept with


    Jepherson.


    Yet, she felt embarrassed for admitting it as she had no official title. How could the Harvey family, a


    wealthy family, ept her?


    Raeleigh was sitting by the side in silence while Santiago wore a naughty smile. "My dear Raeleigh, do


    you know how to y?"


    Raeleigh shook her head. "I don''t."


    "How are you going to y if you don''t know the rules?" Santiago was ying poker. Jepherson came


    out of the kitchen with a bowl of porridge with boiled eggs and put it down for Raeleigh.


    "Eat something first. Watch while he ys. It''s easy to learn." Jepherson sat next to Raeleigh. Santiago


    was shuffling the cards. Soon, the people who gathered began their rounds. They sat across from each


    other, including Scarlette, who appeared very excited.


    Raeleigh took a look at Scarlette. She seemed to know what was going on.


    Raeleigh did not know much of it and was not interested in it.


    Santiago and the others yed while Raeleigh ate peacefully. It didn''t take long for her to understand


    the game.


    Stuart did not participate. He stood aside to keep thempany. Scarlette and Hadrian were ying


    with Santiago. If Raeleigh were to y, then there would be four yers.


    Raeleigh finished her meal and sent the bowl back to the kitchen. Jepherson sat for a while, took out


    his wallet, and ced it on the table.


    When Raeleigh came back, she saw Jepherson sitting at the side, watching them. The other three


    were all staring at Jepherson''s wallet. It seemed like they were salivating for the contents of his wallet.


    Raeleigh had never seen the three of theme to an agreement. Even Hadrian had the same look in


    his eyes.


    Raeleigh felt like she was amb waiting to be ughtered. A very fat, deliciousmb.


    Raeleigh sat down and said, "I can''t y well."


    "Just enjoy yourself," Scarlette said with a smile on her face. Raeleigh took a look at her. That was


    what her friends were for. They were meant to be taken advantage of.


    "We can have a test round first," said Hadrian. Raeleigh looked at him and praised him silently for


    being a gentleman.


    "Come on. You wouldn''t know if you don''t give it a try. Besides, the money isn''t yours to lose." Santiago


    was straightforward. Raeleigh took a look at Santiago. They were brothers and hence insults and


    sarcasm weremon exchanges between them.


    Raeleigh finally understood that relying on oneself was better than relying on others.


    "I''ll y for a while, but I won''t y after dinner," Raeleigh said and the three of them did not refute. All


    three of them nced at Jepherson''s wallet simultaneously. His wallet would probably be emptied by


    dinner, they thought.


    Raeleigh sat down and watched Santiago shuffle the cards. Raeleigh then yed with them. She lost a


    few hundred dors in the first round. Without hesitation, Raeleigh took out some cash from


    Jepherson''s wallet and gave it to them.


    The second round ended in a simr way. When the third round began, Raeleigh started to show her


    true might. Scarlette ced the three queens on the table timidly but decided to withdraw her cards.


    Raeleigh held her hands down and said, "As the saying goes, you can''t go back on your word when


    your cards are put on the table."


    Scarlette watched bitterly as Raeleigh put down the three kings and she then turned her head away


    with a wry smile.


    Hadrian ced the three aces on the table and announced, "Three aces."


    Raeleigh looked at Santiago. Santiago nced at the cards in Raeleigh''s hand. There were still many


    cards in Raeleigh''s hand, and three kings had just appeared.


    He shook his head, passing his turn.


    Raeleigh fell silent.


    "ce your cards." Santiago stared at his cards, and didn''t bother to look at Raeleigh while he spoke.


    He had four two''s in his hands!


    Raeleigh pondered for a moment and counted the cards in her hands. Then, she ced all her cards


    down.


    Scarlette waspletely dumbfounded.


    Raeleigh took the card from Santiago''s hand. She shuffled all the cards and said, "I won before


    Santiago made any moves. ording to my calction, he''d have to pay back threefold, which is four


    hundred and eighty to each of us. Scarlette and Hadrian, you still have ten cards, so you have to pay a


    hundred bucks each."


    She began to collect the money after she finished her sentence. The others looked at Raeleigh as if


    she was a freak. She put the money away and continued to y. They repeated for a dozen more


    times and she won every round. Although Scarlette didn''t have much money left, she wanted to


    continue the game in an attempt to make back the money she had lost. She had lost around four to five


    thousand.


    Hadrian was left penniless.


    Santiago didn''t have much money left either. He kept exchanging money with others.


    Raeleigh was the only one who profited. A huge stack of cash sat in front of her.


    Raeleigh said, "It''s time for dinner. I am not ying anymore."


    Raeleigh kept the money in the wallet and returned it to Jepherson. Jepherson followed after her to the


    dining room.


    The three of them were left speechless as they stared at Raeleigh''s back, who seemed like she had no


    care in the world.


    All of them wondered, "Is she human?"
