Chapter 1160 Take Her Along With Him to the Underworld
Raeleigh didn''t get much rest throughout the night. She only fell asleep in the morning. Jepherson got
up Tristany to fetch some water outside, wash the towel, and ask someone to send Raeleigh''s clothes
there. It seemed that nothing had happened, but Raeleigh knew that it would never be the same again.
Jepherson had been bottling up something, and he refused to spill it out,e what may.
When Raeleigh woke up after eight o''clock, she went to wash up. By the time she returned, Jepherson
had arranged the dishes for breakfast. It wasn''t until she sat down that she remembered Stuart, whom
she hadn''t seen in the past two days.
"Where is Stuart?"
Sitting opposite him, she asked. Jepherson, who was wearing a white shirt and clutching some cutlery
and bowls, handed them to Raeleigh. "I''m concerned about Santiago, so I asked Stuart to go with him."
Raeleigh shot a look at him in perplexity. He had sent all the people around them away. What in the
world was he going to do?
After breakfast, Jepherson went to the doctor and inquired about Raeleigh''s state. Her condition was
very stable and she was allowed to be discharged from the hospital.
"The doctor said that you can be discharged from the hospital. Shall we leave now?" asked Jepherson.
Raeleigh thought momentarily. "Then, let''s go. Do you have a lot of stuff to work on? If you are busy,
then you can send me back..."
"I''m going to thepany. If you want to go, then you cane along."
"Then, I want to go to thepany."
They talked and left the hospital together. Xanthus couldn''t rest easy, so he followed them. After
car, Raeleigh didn''t feel anything wrong. However, the chauffeur didn''t take the usual route. Later,
Raeleigh also found that someone was tailing them.
Somewhere along the way, Raeleigh realized that Xanthus had been left behind.
Raeleigh stole a nce at Jepherson, who was holding her hand, and exined, "Xanthus and I are
friends. I think he is a decent man. He told me that I look like his sister, which is why he took me as
one."
Jepherson held Raeleigh''s hand. "Xanthus did have a younger sister. But, ording to my
investigation, she is dead."
Raeleigh was dumbfounded for a second before she raised her head to gaze at Jepherson. "You''ve
investigated it?"
"I won''t turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. Raeleigh... don''t trust others easily, especially male
strangers." Jepherson held Raeleigh''s hand even tighter. Raeleigh didn''t know what to say, so she kept
silent.
When the car arrived at the desNorahtion, Raeleigh took out her phone and sent a text message to
Xanthus. Jepherson walked in front of her and confiscated her phone. He did not look at Raeleigh''s text
message, but he disyed his domineering demeanor, which was enough to intimidate Raeleigh.
"I just don''t want him to worry about me."
"What''s there for him to worry about when you''re with me? You''re my girlfriend, what''s there for him to
worry about?"
Raeleigh remained silent for her own sake.
With that, her phone was ced in Jepherson''s pocket. With his overbearing attitude, she had no
choice but to obey him.
After entering through the door, she followed him and signed her registration at the reception.
Jepherson stayed on the ground floor for a few minutes before he walked towards the elevator with her.
Once they entered the elevator, he pulled her hand over to him. She stared confusedly at him and
couldn''t figure out what he was doing.
Back in the day, in the presence of outsiders, he always wanted to hold and hug Raeleigh in his arms,
as if he wanted to announce to the whole world and let everyone know that Raeleigh was his, to keep
every other man away from her.
However, at that moment, when they entered thepany offices, he walked in front of her,
intentionally keeping a distance from her. His hands did note into contact with hers either. When
they got into the elevator, however, he could not wait to hold her hands.
Stepping out of the elevator, they headed for his office. He took off his zer and gestured for her to
sit. After that, he turned back to his chair while Raeleigh sat down on the couch for a while. She
watched Jepherson operate theputer and start to get busy.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Raeleigh stood up and tried to lend him a hand. He moved the
mouse. "No, I''m good. You didn''t sleep well. Take a rest. I will apany you when I''m done with my
work."
"Then, I''ll go and see Mr. Lamarre." Raeleigh stood up, walked to the door, opened it, and went out.
Jepherson took a look at the door and reopened the browser tabs. He began to stare nkly at the
news regarding the many painless methods of terminating a pregnancy.
Consequently, his expression gradually grew more gloomier.
After browsing for some time, he slumped into his chair. He raised his head and closed his eyes. Then,
he loosened the cor of his shirt and breathed hard.
Raeleigh visited Lamarre. Although she was reprimanded by him, she was still very cheerful.
Raeleigh stayed by Lamarre''s side for the entire morning. Jepherson called her and asked when she

would like to have lunch. Raeleigh told him that she would not go back in the afternoon because she
wanted to keep Lamarrepany during lunch.
"Then, I''ll book a ce and pick you upter."
"Alright."
Raeleigh agreed and stayed at Lamarre''s ce the whole time. At noon, Jepherson still hadn''te
over. Thus, she got up and went to find him.
"I''ll go and check, and I''ll pick you upter." Lamarre was also busy when Raeleigh left. He waved his
hand, signalling her to go first while he didn''t follow her.
Raeleigh went all the way back to Jepherson''s office. When she arrived at the door of his office, she
knocked on the door, but no one responded. She pushed the door open and went in to find that there
was indeed nobody in the office.
She looked around the office. Her phone was still on his table, so Jepherson should not be too far away
from the office.
Raeleigh walked around. She intended to take a look at the phone on the table. Unexpectedly, she
touched the mouse, after which the monitor lit up.
It was also the first time she had found that the screensaver set on Jepherson''sputer was her
photo. To be precise, it was a photo of her sleeping.
Sitting down, she took a careful look at this photo. She double-clicked the mouse and tried to recall the
password which Jepherson would normally use. She tapped a few times on the keyboard, and it was
unlocked as expected.
However, she was reeling in shock with what had been shown before her eyes.
There were more than twenty tabs on the browser, all of which were world-ss hospitals renowned for
their painless pregnancy termination procedures, as well as the experts in this field.
For a moment, Raeleigh felt as though she had been plunged into a deep valley.
After briefly sitting down, Raeleigh stood up slowly. She identally bumped her hand on the table,
which caused the phone to drop from the table. She hurriedly caught it and put it down. Afterwards, she
nced at her bruised arm, walked to the couch in a daze, and sat on it.
Jepherson came back after a while. When he entered, he was surprised to see Raeleigh. He walked to
her side. "When did youe back?"
Raeleigh raised her head to look at him. "Let''s break up. I''ll get rid of the baby myself."
Jepherson sat down. "What did you just say?"
"I said let''s break up. Xanthus and I..." Raeleigh pursed her lips for a long time before she continued to
say, "I found that I''ve taken a fancy to Xanthus. He also promised me that he would take me to leave
this dangerous ce and settle down abroad. I don''t likerge families like yours, and I hate being
disturbed by the Cole family. I long for a tranquil and peaceful life."
"The child is mine. You don''t have the right to..."
"The baby is in my belly, I will consider keeping him. But now, I am sorry. Xanthus has proposed to me.
I''m contemting epting his proposal. He doesn''t mind even if I have a child."
As Raeleigh spoke, she stood up. She could not bear staying here any longer.
Jepherson got up and pulled her back. He held Raeleigh in both of his arms, tightly. "The child is mine.
I have the right to decide whether to keep it or not. Why would you want to leave?"
Raising her head to gaze at him, she tried to push him away with her hands. "You said the child is
yours, but no one can prove it. If it belongs to Xanthus, then what are you going to do?"
Jepherson frowned deeply. "That''s impossible."
"I am the child''s mother, and he''s in my belly. Nobody can prove it before he is born."
"Cut the cr*p."
"I''m not talking cr*p. I''m just feeling unwell. Anyway, I have an appointment with Mr. Lamarre today for
lunch. If you don''t let me go, then he wille to look for me. By then, things are going to get ugly."
Only then did she push him away. Her pace was slow when she turned around and left, but still, she
went out.
Jepherson followed her. Outside the door, he pulled her over and held her face tightly, which was
wearing a cold expression.
Giving a wry smile, Raeleigh wanted to leave.
Those that were unattainable were always the best. Things would not be as marvellous as they used to
be when people had obtained them.
If the child was gotten rid of, then there would be nothing left between the two of them.
Walking to the elevator, she stopped and requested for her phone. "Give my phone back."
Jepherson was mystified. "You didn''t have a phone just now. How did Xanthus call and talk to you?"
Raeleigh did not exin. "Of course there''s a way. I won''t tell you everything about me. Now, I have
nothing to say to you. Give my phone back to me, or else Mr. Lamarre will make fun of me."
"How is he going to make fun of you?" Jepherson came closer to her, but she stepped back. He
approached her again, and she retreated again. Her back was against the wall. Jepherson simply
pressed himself onto her. The fetus was in the Tristany development stage and her belly was still in a
normal shape. It would be fine even if he did so.
Raeleigh''s breathing grew heavier. She had long been ustomed to his body. As soon as he
approached her, she would be turned on. Moreover, this would happen from time to time.
Sometimes, she would also ponder if she had fallen in love with his body first, or him as a person first.
To this date, she hadn''t figured it out yet.
"How is he going to make fun of you?" Unknowingly, Jepherson lowered his head and wanted to kiss
Raeleigh on her lips. However, when he got close to her lips, he avoided them, and kissed the other
part of her body instead. She was turned off in an instant. She looked up slowly. "Nothing. Let me go.
I''m going to have lunch. I''m hungry."
"What if I don''t let you go? What are you going to do?" Jepherson said, pulling her hand and cing it
around his waist. He lowered his head and looked into her clear and deep eyes, and it made his
breathing unsteady.
Without waiting for Raeleigh''s reply, he kissed her on the cheek and everywhere on her face, except for
the lips. Finally, his eyes fell on her lips. Raeleigh''s breathing became heavier while she was gazing at
his lips. Initially, his lips had alreadynded on hers, but he shifted them slightly at thest minute. As a
consequence, theynded on her nose. After that, he held her in his arms, as if there was a sharp pain
in his heart. He said, "Even if I am wrong, there''s no turning back for me. If I am going to die and will go
to h*ll, then I will take you along with me."
