Chapter 1087 It Will Not Last
Flynt stared into Raeleigh''s bright eyes and said, "What I''m trying to say is... My sister, Cynthia, likes
Santiago. Although I have no idea how Santiago did it, I''m not surprised, judging by his behavior.
Cynthia was raised by our family ever since she was young and rarely leaves the house."
"However, when I went abroad for my studiester, Cynthia came along with me. She and my elder
sister, Yanora, took care of me."
"Over the past few years, Cynthia has remained very cautious in everything she did. She has never
been fooled by a man."
"If Santiago hadn''t deliberately seduced her, then I believe that she would not have been fooled by
him."
Flynt observed Raeleigh after she put forward her concerns. Raeleigh answered, "Santiago is still
young and can be a little mischievous at times, but he is definitely not a bad person. It must be
because of me that he kidnapped her. Is there anything wrong with Cynthia?"
Although Raeleigh had no idea what kind of a person Cynthia was, based on thete night
conversations Santiago had with Cynthia, she roughly knew that Cynthia was not a bad person.
Flynt shook his head and denied it.
"Then, you should ask Cynthia why she would rather help an outsider than her own family," Raeleigh
said frankly.
Flynt sneered. "Women like sweet-talkers and Cynthia is no exception. Moreover, Cynthia is simple-
minded and kind. She didn''t have much exposure to the outside world. I know she''s very eager to
explore the outside world. I remember her sitting by the window sill, watching the outside world when
we were young. I asked her what she was looking at, but she only replied that the poor people were
very lucky to have their parents'' love."
"At that time, I was too young to understand what Cynthia meant. Later, as I grew older, I gradually
understood. It turned out that children born into wealthy families like us have no control over our lives.
We lived in a world that had been predetermined for us. We are basically like kites, with our lives
determined by the kite flier. That person determines whether or not we were allowed to fly, or how far
we can fly. We basically have no control over our lives."
"Unless we cut off the kite line ourselves. However, that would mean that we wouldn''t have anything
left."
Flynt smiled and said, "Cynthia is an amazing person. If Santiago wasn''t a member of the Harvey
family and if not for hisck of manners, then I might have agreed to her request."
"Actually, Santiago isn''t as bad as you think. That being said, I don''t think Santiago and Cynthia would
make a good pair. Her personality does not suit Santiago''s. It has nothing to do with their status."
"You look at love too realistically. It''s better for you to leave some room for reverie."
In the past, Raeleigh felt that love did not live in cottages as well as in courts. However, she did not feel
the same way anymore.
"What about the rtionship between us?" Flynt asked. Raeleigh froze for a moment. "What are you
talking about? What rtionship?"
"I don''t care what it is, as long as we get to meet," Flynt said seriously. Raeleigh looked at Flynt, slightly
amused. "Are you crazy?"
"I''m not crazy. I''m also human, and I have emotions and desires. Cynthia confided in me, but I didn''t
understand what she was saying. I want to understand what Cynthia meant, and that''s why the only
person I can confide in is you."
"That''s your business. Don''t confuse our rtionship with that."
"I''m not. I saved you just now. Don''t you have a single ounce of good towards your savior?"
"No, I don''t."
...
When the conversation came to an end, Flynt sighed and said, "Even so, can''t we at least be friends?"
"No." Raeleigh did not hesitate. Just then, Santiago entered the room. Raeleigh looked towards the
direction of the sound and froze the moment she saw him.
"Shouldn''t you ask for my permission before asking her to be your friend?" Santiago said as he walked
over to Raeleigh''s side. He took a look at Raeleigh before saying to Flynt, "Cynthia and I will take care
of our own affairs. Raeleigh and you will take care of yours. Do not mix things up. If you truly
understand what Cynthia''s trying to tell you, then you wouldn''t be here talking to Raeleigh."

"We, as people, must learn how to think on our own. We have to distinguish what''s right and what''s
wrong. Don''t use your sister as an excuse to talk to Raeleigh."
Flynt''s face was gloomy, as he said, "You can do anything you want to me, but why did you have to
bring Cynthia into this?"
Santiagoughed and said, "You''re not Cynthia. How sure are you that she does not need me?"
Santiago''s face was full of arrogance. Raeleigh was worried that he would anger Flynt.
"Santaigo, stop talking nonsense. Let''s go," Raeleigh said as she pulled Santiago away. Santiago''s
face looked upset as he said, "I am not talking nonsense. He knows it himself."
"What do I know?" Flynt was slightly annoyed. His face turned red. Raeleigh looked around and she
then said to Flynt, "Santiago has always been like this. Wait, did youe to find me hoping that you
will bump into Santiago?"
"I came to see you because I wanted to talk to you. It has nothing to do with him. He has crossed the
line."
"Cross what line? I brought Cynthia to watch the stars and the fireflies. She has never been so happy
in her life. What about you? What did you do for her? What has your family done for her?"
"Cynthia said that she is willing to marry Jepherson as long as it is advantageous to you. How about
you? What can you do for Cynthia?"
"Could it be that Cynthia was born to pave the way for you and enjoy a meteoric rise?"
Santiagoughed. Flynt swung his fist and gave Santiago a punch. However, Santiago managed to
dodge it and returned a punch. His punchnded squarely on Flynt''s abdomen. Flynt stumbled
backwards before regaining his footing and he heaved a sigh.
Santiago''s lips curled into a smile as he said, "There''s nothing I can''t do. I''ve never forced Cynthia into
anything. Why don''t you go home and ask her if she wanted to help me willingly?"
Flynt paused for a moment and warned him. "Santiago, you better watch out. I will not let you go."
"It doesn''t matter. But I''m warning you to stay away from Raeleigh, or I will break your legs myself."
Santiago nced at Raeleigh with an unhappy look and said, "Let''s go."
Raeleigh looked at Flynt. Then, she turned around and left with Santiago.
As Raeleigh walked away, she turned around to look at Flynt. Flynt looked like he was going mad. Not
only did he fail to punch Santiago, he was also beaten by Santiago.
Raeleigh turned back and looked at Santiago. "Did you have to provoke him?"
Santiago nced at Raeleigh and said, "If he didn''te to annoy me, then I wouldn''t have done it,
would I? He asked for it."
Raeleigh was speechless. "But why did you have to go after his sister? Besides, how old are you?"
"I look older than my age, don''t I?" Santiago said. Raeleigh felt very ashamed of Santiago.
"Whatever the case is, given if it were anyone, I''m sure they would not be able to ept it either."
Raeleigh thought for a moment and reminded him. Santiago was amused by her words.
"I''m no Jesus, I can''t save the world. I''m no Buddha either. I can''t treat everyone kindly. I''m me, the
insufferably arrogant Santiago. If others provoke me, then I will retaliate. I''ll protect those who treat me
well, and I have zero tolerance to those who are bad to me."
"It is easier said than done. No matter how good you talk, what''s the use? What is Cynthia going to do
in the future?"
Raeleigh felt that Cynthia''s and Santiago''s rtionship would notst.
