Chapter 1345 A Dead Giveaway


    Paige grew furious as shey helpless in her room. Meanwhile, cries for mercy came from outside the


    room, and they sounded worse than a pig being butchered.


    Everyone in Paige''s room was frightened.


    They were all present when Paige gave instructions to the men. Now that they were all grounded,


    those who hired the men and gave her the idea would be punished togetherter. The thought of being


    punished scared them.


    Paige sat unmoving the whole time, but her facial expression seemed miserable.


    She could not believe that after caring for Jepherson for so many years, he would point the gun at her


    in the end. Jepherson...


    Well, isn''t he such a good grandson?


    Was he going to kill her?


    She clenched her hands into fists, and her face nched. Outside...


    "Mr. Jepherson, Mr. Jepherson! Please spare my life." The two men kneeled on the ground, their


    bodies badly bruised. It was freezing cold outside. Kneeling outside under such weather was already


    torture, let alone being hit.


    However, Jepherson ordered his men to beat them until their skin was badly bruised.


    This was not a simple beating. He was trying to kill them.


    Santiago came out of the room and sat down. One of the servants handed a pair of gloves to him and


    warmed up his seat. Someone even ced a coat over Santiago''s body to keep him warm.


    Santiago sat to one side, his expressions rxed. However, the more he acted like this, the more


    frightened the people around him became. Everyone knew that if he grew angry, he would torture them


    to death.


    At that moment, Jepherson stood aside with an indifferent expression, as if he did not care about


    anything at all. Upon seeing this, the people grew even more scared.


    They wondered if he was going to kill someone.


    After all, Jepherson and Santiago had never punished anyone together for all these years.


    "You don''t realize what you have done, and you still have the nerve to ask for mercy. Raeleigh is the


    Harvey family''s future daughter-inw. How dare you try to kill her! I think you are asking for death."


    "Why?"


    "Could it be that you''ve lived toofortably, and you want to do something shocking while you''re


    young?"


    Santiago''s demeanor was strange. The crowd grew silent, and no one dared to speak. They held their


    breaths as if they would lose their lives if he heard them breathing.


    The two men didn''t move as they stared at Jepherson. They turned around and begged Santiago for


    mercy. Santiago looked just like a gangster from the olden days as he crossed his legs and looked


    down at the two of them. He didn''t show any mercy at all. He said, "No matter what, Raeleigh is a


    member of the Harvey family, and you should respect us. You should have thought about this before


    you tried to kill her. What''s the use of begging us for mercy after you get caught? You chose to do this.


    No one forced you to do anything."


    "You two had been so unlucky to have bumped into my parents the first time you tried to kill someone.


    This is interesting!"


    Santiago''s voice was not too loud, and others should not be able to hear him through the door.


    However, the door to Paige''s room was wide open, and she heard him clearly.


    Paige''s heart sank when she heard that the men had encountered Calvin and Belle.


    They must have known what was happening here. Otherwise, how would Jepherson and Santiago dare


    to bully her in front of so many people?


    She gritted her teeth. ''So, you''re all bullying me, aren''t you? Just wait, just wait!'' she thought to herself.


    Meanwhile, Santiago continued to talk outside the room. He said a lot more things, but they were


    irrelevant things. The two men kneeled on the ground, and suddenly, they yelled, "Mr. Santiago, Mr.


    Santiago! Please spare our lives. Old Madam Paige ordered us to go there. We have nothing to do with


    this."


    Santiago kicked the two of them hard when he heard their confessions. Then, he shouted, "Do you


    think I am as innocent as a three-year-old? Grandma ordered you to do this? She is already so old, and


    she is confused. How would she order you to kill Raeleigh? You should have thought of a better


    excuse."


    Then, he kicked them so hard that they could no longer speak. The two of them screamed and rolled


    on the ground with their hands covering their heads.


    Of course, Paige knew what was going on. Santiago was pping her in the face.


    She began to doubt her position in the family.


    Who would be willing to do anything for her in the future?


    In fact, she was not wrong at all. That was exactly what Santiago meant to convey. He was warning


    them to stop doing bad things.


    No matter who gave the order, they would not end up well if they carried it out.

    Jepherson and Santiago did not leave immediately after beating the two men up. They stayed back for


    the whole morning and had lunch with Paige that noon.


    They had done what should be done and eaten what should be eaten. However, Paige had lost her


    appetite, and she began to grow sick that morning.


    She did not take a single bite. Meanwhile, Jepherson ate a bowl of rice and some other dishes.


    Santiago had a good appetite, and he ate the most.


    After lunch, Santiago stood up and announced, "I''m leaving."


    He still had something to do. He was going out with Jacky that afternoon.


    Jepherson did not leave. He cleared the dining table and stayed back to apany Paige in her room.


    Paigey on the bed in silence while Jepherson stared outside the window. It seemed that they had


    nothing to say to each other.


    Paige knew that Jepherson no longer held her in high regard. He stayed back to apany her


    because she was his grandmother.


    A dull ache raced from her heart, and her hatred towards Raeleigh grew even more.


    ...


    Santiago left the house and headed straight for the ce that Jacky told him about, which was Flynt''s


    car repair shop.


    He parked outside, and he then got out of the car. He approached the ck car beside him and leaned


    against it. There was still a distance from Flynt''s shop. No one would easily discover him.


    "Is there any movement?" Santiago asked as he leaned over.


    Jacky handed him a cigarette. "Not yet, but it''s strange that there isn''t any movement. They''re too


    quiet. We''ve already monitored everything, but there''s still no progress."


    "You''re definitely not wrong. The calmer it is, the more suspicious it would be. How could the Cole


    family not care about him?" Santiago said as he smoked. Jacky nced at him. "I heard you had an


    affair with his sister. How could you destroy your family? Are you willing to disregard your lover?"


    Cynthia had already left when Jacky arrived. Jacky heard from Deanna about this, but she didn''t


    exin it clearly, so he didn''t remember much about it.


    Santiagoughed. "He and his sister are two different people. You can''tpare them both."


    Jacky alsoughed. After a moment of silence, Santiago asked, "The fact that he didn''t look for


    Raeleigh is a dead giveaway. That gave it away."


    "He was injured and sent to the hospital, but Raeleigh didn''t visit him. Logically speaking, he should


    have gone to find her after he was discharged. There must be something wrong with this."


    "Then, what do you n to do?"


    "Where has he been recently? It''s my turn to go there. I will go and check him out. Keep an eye on this


    ce."


    After that, Santiago waved his hand and went back into his car to receive the message.
