Chapter 1370 y To Win
Santiago brought Raeleigh to Waverly Vige. Raeleigh got out of the car and quickly surveyed her
surroundings. She realized that she was in front of Jack Town Hotel.
A few momentster, Santiago walked into the hotel first and Raeleigh followed him in.
As soon as Raeleigh entered the door, she heard people talking. She quickly nced around the room
and realised that there was a dinner function going on. All kinds of people were present. The younger
ones were engaged in some game at the front. They were cheering and shouting as they yed. It
looked like the game was very intense.
Santiago took Raeleigh''s wrist and dragged her through the crowd, towards the front and pointed
towards the game. "Let''s join in."

It was only here that Raeleigh realised the game involved a man and a woman. It was like a three-
legged race. The only difference was that they had to pick up the balls from the ground and toss it into
their respective baskets. The women were responsible for picking up balls, while the men were
responsible for fighting over the balls. Although there were a lot of balls on the floor, the opponents
were allowed to stop them from picking up the balls, making the game a little more challenging.
Some of them couldn''t continue with the game. They had bruises on their faces and were standing at
one side rubbing their injuries.
Raeleigh shook her head. "Forget it. You just recovered and I don''t want to get beaten up."
"Don''t worry, they won''t hit women." Jacky walked up to Raeleigh and handed her a lollipop. Raeleigh
reached out and epted the lollipop, "I haven''t heard anything about Deanna yet but I''m still trying to
"We''ll talk about Deannater. Let''s talk about the game first." Jacky raised his chin and pointed
towards the game.
While Raeleigh was watching the game, Jacky exined, "This game is held once every year, usually
around new year. All these people present here today are some of the most reputable people in
Waverly Vige. Do you see that box in the front? That box contains the grand prize, which is the same
every year. The winner will be awarded a house here in Waverly Vige. It means that these kids are
actually fighting for a house. That''s why thepetition is so fierce."
"I don''t think we should join in then. We don''t need a house," Raeleigh said. Santiago immediately
retorted, "Who said so? Let''s not waste this opportunity."
Raeleigh was speechless. She cast Santiago a look of disgust. "You are from the Harvey family. I''m
sure you can afford a house. I think it''s better for you to let these people fight for the house instead."
Raeleigh had good intentions. Some of these people had probably trained for one year just to have a
shot in winning a house. It wasn''t fair for Santiago toe and y for the house just because he felt
like it.
Santiago did not agree with Raeleigh. "Yes, I am from the Harvey family, but I don''t have any money
nor do I own a house. I want to win myself a house. If my father ever kicks me out of the house, at least
I''ll still have my own ce. Am I wrong?"
"Why would your father kick you out of the house? Your parents love you. So does Jepherson. I doubt
they would ever kick you out."
"These things can change anytime. I''ve made up my mind. I''m going to try and win the house. Come
with me!"
Santiago pulled Raeleigh towards the centre, wanting to participate in the game.
Raeleigh was reluctant to y. Jacky said to Raeleigh, "You may not win. These people are very
experienced and they have been training for over a year. What are your chances of winning?"
Raeleigh felt that Jacky was right. What were their chances of winning? Regardless of how good
Santiago thought he was, they would not be able to win if she didn''t pick up a ball.
Raeleigh asked Jacky how many teams were left in the game. He said, "There''s a total of six team,
including yours."
"Alright then, let''s y." Raeleigh finally gave in. Jacky took them to one side and they started
preparing for the game. They tied their legs together and joined the rest of the teams.
Soon, the game began. Raeleigh and Santiago quickly started picking up the balls. Although it took
awhile for Raeleigh to get used to it, she was slowly able to move around without tripping over with
Santiago''s help.
In less than a minute, one of the teams fell.
Raeleigh heard the girl scolding the boy. "You''re useless! We''re done!"
The boy kept giving excuses but the girl was having none of it.
Raeleigh looked at Santiago and said, "I think we should move slowly and steadily. Let''s not fight with
them."
Santiago ignored her and pointed towards a ball. "Pick it up."
Raeleigh roughly estimated the distance from where they stood to their bucket. If Santiago was able to
make the shot, he could be a basketball star.
Raeleigh calmly picked up a ball and handed it to Santiago.
Because of the distance, they were all hurriedly trying to move forward. They were not paying any
attention to Santiago.
Santiago himself was not in a hurry. He raised his hands and prepared to shoot the ball. He narrowed
his eyes and shot.
The ball entered the basket and everyone around them stopped. The red team was awarded a point.
After that, the other teams continued picking up the balls. They felt that there was nothing to worry
about. He was just lucky. What were the odds that he could repeat the feat?
Even Raeleigh felt that Santiago was lucky to have scored. To prove her point, Raeleigh picked up a
red ball and walked to the back. She doubted Santiago would be able to score from here.
"Here, one more." Raeleigh almost wanted to challenge him.
Santiago reached out and took the ball from her hand. He didn''t aim this time. After all, he roughly
knew the distance.
Raeleigh was shocked as she watched the ball make its way into their basket. Pin drop silence filled
the room.
Raeleigh had no idea whether he was just lucky or what?
Everyone was looking at them. Raeleigh felt a little embarrassed.
"Let''s continue," Raeleigh said as she continued walking forward. She was intending to fall down on
purpose but Santiago managed to grab hold of her before she tripped.
Raeleigh was not convinced and kepting up with ways to get them eliminated from the game. She
picked up the ball and wanted to throw it elsewhere. Santiago''s arm was so long that he managed to
stop her in time. He threw it into the basket without missing a shot.
The time limit was one hour. Not long after the game began, Raeleigh was already getting tired.
The other teams didn''t even have a single point. Either they were eliminated or they missed their shot.
After a team was eliminated, it was usually the girl who would start to make a fuss, wanting to switch
partners.
Raeleigh walked forward as the game reached the hour mark, signalling the end of the game. Santiago
had no choice but to follow her.
Just as they were about to reach the finish line, Raeleigh was nTristany knocked over by a man.
Thankfully, Santiago managed to catch her before she fell to the ground. Santiago turned around and
nced at the man angrily. His gaze darkened...
It was suddenly quiet. Raeleigh walked away, panting. She was sure they didn''t win.
Raeleigh pulled Santiago. "Come on, let''s go. Time is nTristany up."
Santiago also wanted to cross the finish line, so he continued walking with Raeleigh. There were some
teams who were not happy with the results. One of them picked up a ball and threw it at Santiago.
Santiago caught the ball. He turned around and threw the ball into the basket.
The audience burst with excitement as Santiago and Raeleigh made their way across the finish line.
Jacky began counting the balls in the baskets.
