Chapter 1280 Kicking Down the Door


    Santiago went to the Atkinson family, but he was stopped when he arrived. Several servants were


    standing at the door, waiting for him.


    Santiago looked at the servants, a glint of amusement in his gaze. He lifted his leg and kicked at the


    door. "What is this supposed to mean?"


    Santiago looked displeased.


    These servants were afraid of offending him and one of them quickly exined that they were there to


    greet Rhys and Lottie as they would be returning the same day.


    Santiago''s lips curled up into a smile. He stood at the entrance with his hands on his waist.


    "Mr. Atkinson ising back?" Santiago seemed to have believed it. The servants nodded to reassure


    him.


    They knew they would get in trouble if they were to cause trouble for Santiago. But their Young Master


    had instructed them to stand guard here. They had no choice but to do as instructed.


    Santiago kicked the door again. "Mr. Atkinson is on his way, so I understand you are all standing here


    to wee him, but it''s strange that you keep your main entrance shut."


    All the servants fell silent. Santiago gave the main door another hard kick. "I''m going to have lunch


    soon. I don''t have time to waste with you lot. I will be back. Just you wait."


    Santiago raised his hand and pointed at everyone present. The servants bowed their heads quietly.


    Santiago then turned around and walked back towards the car. Raeleigh casted an innocent look at


    Lamarre. "Sometimes I think his temper is like a balloon that will explode at any time."


    Lamarreughed. "He''s not a balloon. He''s an atomic bomb."


    Santiago got into the car and started to drive away. He continued to talk to Lamarre as if nothing had


    happened. Raeleigh sat quietly in the back while Santiago poked fun at her from time to time.


    Raeleigh found it strange that both Santiago and Jepherson were born in the same family but turned


    out so differently. Why was Santiago like this, while Jepherson had apletely different personality?


    Once they got out of the car, they entered the restaurant from the back. A waiter invited them into the


    room they had reserved that morning. Soon, the three began to eat.


    While eating, Raeleigh received a call from Jepherson who questioned her whereabouts.


    Santiago was in the midst of eating when he raised his hand and took the phone away from her. He


    ced it against his ear and asked, "Is something the matter?"


    Jepherson paused for a moment, then said with a grim face, "Bring Raeleigh back."


    Santiago did not reply. He hung up the phone and swiftly deleted Jepherson''s number. He then


    casually ced the phone next to Raeleigh.


    Raeleigh ate quietly, as though she waspletely immersed in her own world. No matter what


    Lamarre and Santiago were discussing, she stayed quiet until they finished their meal. After that,


    Santiago said that he was heading back to the office to drop Lamarre back before going to Zorion''s


    house. Raeleigh sat in the back, and pressed her hand on her forehead as her head started to throb,


    thinking about how she had been in a streak of bad fortune ever since she met the Richard siblings.


    That afternoon, Raeleigh watched as Santiago kicked the door of the Atkinson family manor again.


    Only his final kick left an impression on her., and she had long gotten ustomed to Santiago''s antics.


    She did not pay much attention to his actions as she was already used to them. However, hisst kick


    was particrly hard and she knew that he wouldn''t give up easily. No one could stop him. Santiago


    was always the one with the final say.


    Santiago looked into the rearview mirror andughed. "What''s the matter? Are you scared?"


    Raeleigh was slightly bemused and replied, "Am I not supposed to be?"


    "What''s there to be afraid of now that you''re with me?" The corners of Santiago''s lips curled upwards,


    his thin lips were red and glossy. His smile was particrly bright, but Raeleigh couldn''t be bothered to


    look at him again.


    Raeleigh liked being with Santiago. Although she used to hate him, she cherished him a great deal


    after they found each other again.


    She feltfortable and safe with Santiago.

    As if there was nothing to worry about at all.


    Raeleigh didn''t want to see Jepherson, nor was she willing to be with him. Although she liked him and


    loved him, love alone was not enough to save their rtionship. Jepherson''s presence equated to the


    pressure in her mind. When she was with him, she always felt like she couldn''t breathe and was


    burdened by him.


    She was to me for everything that happened when she was with him.


    Raeleigh wanted a peaceful life, not a chaotic one and that was exactly what Jepherson could not


    provide for her.


    When the car arrived at the gates of the Atkinson family vi, Raeleigh wished she was asleep.


    However, the car pulled up so forcefully that Raeleigh was jolted awake even in her dazed state.


    After stepping out of the car, her gaze followed Santiago towards the door. He mmed the car door


    with a loud bang. The loud noise gave her a sudden headache, so she started rubbing her head with


    her hand.


    Raeleigh felt depressed. She turned around and watched Santiago walk to the door of the manor. He


    sure was a headache to deal with at times.


    Raeleigh remained in the car. This issue had nothing to do with her. It was Santiago''s affair as he was


    the one who had promised Jacky to bring Deanna. She decided she would not get involved in this.


    She should learn to be more tactful.


    Raeleigh felt rather amused when she thought of this. She wondered when she had be so wise.


    Perhaps she had always been wise.


    Santiago made his way to the front door. The Atkinson family didn''t expect him to return that day. They


    were terrified at the sight of him and didn''t know that he was looking for Deanna. They all believed that


    Santiago was there to get even with them.


    The moment they saw Santiago, they retreated slowly.


    Santiago swaggered over to the Atkinson family''s entrance and kicked the door once more. "Open the


    door."


    "Mr. Santiago, please forgive our ignorance." Santiago was the Devil of Capital City. Nobody dared to


    offend him!


    "Enough nonsense. Open the door!" Santiagonded another kick on the door. He had a brown cotton-


    padded jacket draped over his shoulders. His hands were on his waist, his head lowered. The rich fur


    cor ruffled along his shoulder when he kicked the door.


    Raeleigh looked at Santiago.


    She felt sleepy as she watched him  try to enter the house. He left the engine running so it was warm in


    the car and Raeleigh quickly fell asleep leaning against the car seat.


    Santiago turned to look at her. Then, he turned back around and questioned the servants, "What? Are


    you asking me to open the door myself?"


    "Mr. Santiago, please forgive us. We''re only following orders."


    "Alright, I won''t make things difficult for you. Please send a message that I want to see Deanna, and


    get her to see me. I heard that she had eloped with somebody. It wouldn''t look good if the rumor


    spread."


    "Mr. Santiago, that''s nonsense. She is upstairs. How could she have eloped with anyone?"


    "If you refuse to let me see Deanna, wouldn''t that mean she had eloped? Is that why you are trying to


    hide her from me?" Santiago beamed, his usation causing the servants'' head to hurt. How could he


    nder someone like that? Her reputation would be severely affected if she were to get married in the


    future and it had already been ruined when Jacky kidnapped her. It would be further tarnished with his


    usation!
