Chapter 1431 Put On a Show


    Raeleigh went in and stood quietly at the side. As usual, Paige-the person with the most severe


    superiorityplex in the room-did not spare Raeleigh a nce.


    However, nobody told Raeleigh to sit down. Even Jepherson himself was left standing, without anyone


    having invited him to take a seat.


    Although it was his own home, his parents were handling Paige with care. It seemed a bit inappropriate


    for him, as a son and a grandson, to take a seat on his own ord.


    Thus, he decided to stand with Raeleigh.


    Raeleigh looked at him with curiosity in her dark eyes. She lowered her gaze slightly and stayed quiet.


    Jepherson''s hand had been holding Raeleigh''s since the start. In fact, he had been using both hands to


    hold hers, and put their hands behind his back.


    The way others saw it, Jepherson was trying to show Paige respect. At least he wasn''t being tant


    about it. On the contrary, the way Paige saw it, her terrible grandson Jepherson was giving her pointed


    looks on purpose.


    However, Paige did not spare Jepherson and Raeleigh any pride either. After all, Paige''s Book of Life


    dictated that an attitude be given to those who did the same to her.


    Despite that, Paige also did not want to sour her rtionship with Hudson. Although she had lost and


    finally promised not to meddle in the family affairs, she self-proimed herself the winner.


    Hudson had once mentioned that without their consent, no one would be able to enter the door to the


    Harvey Group Manor, much less Raeleigh. To put it bluntly, even though there was no problem with her


    getting together with Jepherson, that did not necessarily mean she had the right to set foot in the


    Harvey Group Manor.


    His words were music to her ears. After all, it essentially meant that it would not be that easy for


    Raeleigh to traverse into the Harvey Group Manor as long as they were alive.


    She thought that Raeleigh was definitely in it for the money. Otherwise, there would be no reason for


    her to stay so long.


    She had given Raeleigh her fair share of hints, yet she still refused to leave. Why? To put it bluntly, she


    was doing it for money, a gold digger who wanted to rely on a cash cow like Jepherson for a


    materialistic life. Paige had seen countless women like that in her lifetime.


    Those B-grade celebrities, who relied on their good looks, were all seductive foxes that were good-for-


    nothing. They couldn''t help their husbands with anything besides eating, drinking and ying around.


    At first, they would put on a show in order to marry into a wealthy family, but as time went by, they


    would reveal their true colors.


    As she thought about it, she figured she didn''t have to worry about Raeleigh too much. If she could live


    to ny-nine years old, she still had a long path ahead of her.


    As the saying went, you can''t judge a book by its cover. As time went by, she would simply wait for


    Raeleigh to let slip her cunning nature.


    "Enough is enough, people. I''m not that petty. Look at you two. Didn''t you promise him that you''d take


    good care of me? Look at me, I''m finer than ever. Never mind, just call Santiago. I''d really rather not


    see him, but his grandfather cares about him and wanted me to give him some money. I can''te for


    nothing, can I?"


    Paige had already thought it through. It was useless to make things difficult for Raeleigh. Just as


    Hudson had said, it would upset Jepherson and Belle, making them think that Paige was a tough, fussy


    mother-inw. Why don''t she, she thought, take it slow, one foot in front of the other?


    It was not the end of the story. The winner had yet to be decided.


    Belle knew that Hudson had already talked to Paige, so she was also very clear that whatever went on


    that day was just a formality, which meant that she no longer cared about those things.


    "Raeleigh, you can go and make the call," suggested Belle. Raeleigh raised her head and froze for a


    moment. She did not expect that Belle would make that decision, and Paige did not speak up to put her


    in a tough position either.


    "I''m on it," Raeleigh agreed. She turned around and took a few steps outside. Then, she took out her


    cell phone and called Santiago.


    The moment her hands left Jepherson''s, his mood went straight down the dumps. With his hands


    behind his back, he turned around and gazed at Raeleigh with what looked like a smile.


    When Paige saw that, she felt a wave of nausea surging in her. He had been bewitched, body and


    soul. She was just a woman. What was so good about her? Thinking of how close they used to be,


    Paige still felt petnt.


    However, she could no longer keep her "Resting B*tch Face". Since she had made a promise, she


    would go with what Hudson had said and treat this like a tough nut to crack in business. Only in that


    way could she win the battle.


    Only then did she truly realize that no matter how unhappy she was, it was useless to employ all


    means possible to break Jepherson and Raeleigh apart. After all, his soul had already been


    spellbound. If she really wanted to get it back, she would have to use a select few methods.


    With that in mind, Paige looked at Jepherson, who had turned around, and said, "Jerry."


    He was stunned for a moment before turning to look at her. "Yes, Grandma?"


    Paige rolled her eyes at him. "You are not going to tell me that your girlfriend is the only one in your


    eyes, right?"


    "Of course not. There are still many other things." Jepherson''s lips curled up, albeit not into a smile.


    The light in his eyes was ambiguous. Paige was confused, wondering what had been going on with him


    as ofte. Why did she feel that he was acting a little off the wall? The more she looked into his eyes,


    the more on edge she felt. He was clearly smiling, but she couldn''t see through him. It felt like he was


    scheming something.


    He was much tooplicated and was made up of pure strategy.


    She took a deep breath and stated, "I don''t care what''s going on with you right now, but put aside your


    thoughts for now. I know that you are very displeased with me because I can''t bring myself to like your


    girlfriend.


    I''m cutting you some ck, but you have to understand that it isn''t because I can''t control you. I''m just


    putting you aside for now. Your grandfather''s health has not been as good as before. I have to stay at


    home to take care of him. I don''t have much power in Capital City, and all of you are working together


    to deceive me.


    Even so, I''m not dead yet. You also have to remember not to go too far.


    Be together all you want, but if something goes wrong, don''t me me for being cruel. When the time


    Paige''s words were essentially giving Jepherson a chance, but he did not get carried away. On the


    contrary, he replied respectfully, "You''re right, Grandma. I will guide Raeleigh not to do anything to


    make you unhappy, lest you feel ufortable."


    "I wouldn''t say that I''m unhappy, it''s just that our family can''t ept an improper woman. I won''t care


    about the past, but as for the future, not so easy, I''m afraid. You''d better think it through."


    "I''ve already thought it through, Grandma." Jepherson grinned, to which she reluctantly grunted in


    response.


    Right then, Raeleigh hade back as well. Paige saw her and added, "Goodness gracious, would


    you stop walking like a duck? It gives people the impression of being unreliable."


    Raeleigh paused for a moment. Had she been clumsy?


    It was obvious that Paige was trying to nitpick.

    Raeleigh nced over to Jepherson. Without refuting, she looked at Belle and Calvin.


    If this were any other time, she wouldn''t have dealt with it and would have left immediately. However,


    she thought, not today.


    For herself, for Jepherson, and also for Belle.


    She still had to put on a show.


    Raeleigh did not show much of a change. She still looked the same as before, as she had heard a lot


    about how the rich and powerful behaved themselves. Although it was not the first time, she did not


    express the fact that she was upset whatsoever. She stopped and said to Paige, "Thank you for your


    advice, Grandma. I will keep it in mind."


    Paige had not expected Raeleigh to agree so obediently either. It might have been a tad bit surprising,


    but since Raeleigh had already spared her pride, there was no need for her to go on with the show.


    She could only say that Raeleigh was not your ordinary girl. At least she knew when to advance and


    when to back off.
