    Raeleigh looked at the stylist. "Are all of you very afraid of Mr. Santiago?"

    "Mr. Santiago isn''t as reasonable as Mr. Jepherson. He talks with his fists. If he isn''t happy, he will hit


    us. I fractured my hand once because of him."


    The stylist smiled as he spoke. Raeleigh asked curiously, "You fractured your hand yet you''re still


    smiling about it? Aren''t you angry at all?"


    "Though Mr. Santiago is not unreasonable, he doesn''t talk through problems like Mr. Jepherson. Mr.


    Jepherson will never get physical while Mr. Santiago is the exact opposite. If he can solve his problems


    with his fists, he won''t talk it out."


    "In fact, Mr. Santiago is a good person. It''s just that he''s got quite the temper at times, and it''s not


    something he can control."


    "As long as we don''t anger Mr. Santiago, then nothing will happen."


    "Are you saying this because you work for him?" Raeleigh looked at the stylist strangely. She was


    surprised that the stylist was still defending Santaigo even though he had fractured his hand because


    of him.


    The stylist smiled. "I''m not afraid of him. I respect him a lot. Mr. Santiago may sometimes act rashly, but


    he''s not a bad person. He knows what he''s doing."


    "Mr. Santiago hired most of us here. Some of us were bullied out on the streets, and he was the one


    who saved us and arranged for us to work here. In fact, I''m proud to be working here and the pay is


    good; at least I will be able to find a girlfriend and not get bullied."


    "But he hit you."


    "I''m sure there was a reason. One time, I identally messed up Mr. Santiago''s hair. He got up and


    gave me a hard push and I fell. When we went to the hospital, they told me I fractured my hand."


    "Later, Mr. Jepherson came by the hospital to visit me and gave me a hugepensation. He even let


    me take medical leave without any sry deduction."


    "You seem to hold Mr. Santiago and Mr. Jepherson in high regard."


    "Yes, I have massive respect for both of them."


    "In fact, when some people lose their temper, it''s for our own good. It wasn''t on purpose."


    "My mother told me that it''s like a parent-child rtionship. He wants the best for us, that''s why he


    scolds and hits us. Or else, why would he even bother?"


    "That makes sense." Raeleigh fixed her eyes on the person in the mirror. She wondered whether


    Jepherson was the one who arranged for the stylist toe and tell her these things.


    Santiago then came out of the changing room. Someone hurried over to straighten Santiago''s suit and


    Raeleigh turned to look at him. He was wearing a ck suit with a white shirt. There was a red rose


    boutonniere on thepel of his suit jacket.


    Raeleigh believed that Santiago was a work of art. She knew that he would get ahead of Jepherson


    eventually. It was only a matter of time.


    One day, he would be extremely far ahead.


    Santiago nced at Raeleigh before straightening his sleeves. The stylist brought over a box of


    jewelry, opened it and let Santiago take a look at it. He decided to go with a wristwatch and a ruby ring.


    Santiago nced at his watch. It was time for them to leave.


    "Come on, let''s go." Santiago took off his coat as he walked towards Raeleigh. He draped the coat over


    Raeleigh''s shoulders and took her hand in his as they walked out. Raeleigh tried to pull away, wanting


    him to let go. However, there were too many people around, with too many eyes fixed on them.


    Santiago had one hand in his pocket while the other held hers firmly as they strode outside.


    Raeleigh couldn''t do anything but to follow Santiago as they left the styling studio together.


    Outside, Santiago opened the car door and helped Raeleigh into the car before getting in himself. The


    driver then started the car and drove them to the venue of the banquet.


    While in the car, Santiago took out his tablet and briefly scrolled through the news. The Harvey Group


    press conference had already begun.


    Raeleigh leaned over and looked at his tablet. She could see Jepherson in a grey suit, answering the


    reporter''s questions.


    Jepherson left at the end of the press conference. Santiago put the tablet down and leaned against the


    window, gazing outside.


    They soon arrived at the banquet venue. Santiago got out of the car and offered his hand to Raeleigh,


    but ignored his help and  emerged from the car on her own.


    Santiago reached for Raeleigh''s hand, pulling her over.


    "Watch what you''re doing, or else I''m going to tell your brother..."


    "If you keep talking, I''m going to kiss you." The driver was shocked by Santiago''s words and pretended


    not to hear anything.


    Raeleigh immediately stopped talking. Santiago held her hand, turned around, and made his way into


    the banquet hall. As they approached the building, a doorman held the door open for Santiago and


    Raeleigh.


    After entering the elevator, Raeleigh pulled her hand out of his grasp and put her hands behind her


    back. Her expression was sullen.


    The elevator door opened, and Santiago stretched his arm out, indicating for Raeleigh to link her arm


    with it. She had no choice but to do so as she followed him inside. The guests were immediately


    stunned when they appeared.


    Raeleigh lowered her head slightly, feeling her anxiety creeping in.


    "Lift your head up," Santiago reminded her. Raeleigh did as told. Her gaze swept through the entire


    hall. The room was crowded with people and she tried to look for Lamarre among the crowd, but she


    couldn''t see him.


    "Mr. Santiago," someone immediately greeted Santiago. Raeleigh wanted to leave, but Santiago had


    his hand on hers, forcing her to stay. Raeleigh had no choice but to stay.


    Santiago exchanged greetings with others as he continued walking with Raeleigh towards the front of


    the hall. At the same time, Jepherson walked out from the other side of the hall.


    When Raeleigh caught sight of Jepherson, she immediately left Santiago and went to him. Jepherson


    turned around and looked at Raeleigh tenderly. He lowered his head and kissed her lips.


    The crowd immediately began to murmur.


    "Is she the guest of honor?"


    "I hear both Jepherson and Santiago like her."


    "She must be something. How rare for a woman to capture both their hearts."


    Raleigh let the murmurs continue.


    Raeleigh then stood at the side as she looked at the arRhys of food. She thought of the look on her


    stylist''s face after two hours of their hard work. She couldn''t eat or drink.


    When Jepherson saw Raeleigh in a daze, he  whispered in her ear, "My beautiful wife, what are you


    thinking about?"


    Raeleigh was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Jepherson. "Don''t you know?"


    Jephersonughed. "Eat whatever you want. You''re already the prettiestdy here."


    "That''s not what I care about. I just feel bad that I''d be putting the stylist''s effort to waste."


    "They''re not here. They wouldn''t know. Anyway, they''ve done their part."


    Jepherson picked up a piece of cake. "Cakes like this are sweet."


    Raeleigh opened her mouth for Jepherson to feed her with it. Then, she picked up a te and put


    another slice on it.


    Santiago walked over. "I want some cake too."


    Raeleigh turned around and saw that it was Santiago. She remained silent as  Jepherson picked up a


    slice and gave it to his brother. While munching away at his cake, Santiago looked at the people


    around him.


    "What time will it end?" Santiago hated crowded ces.


    Raeleigh also looked forward to leaving.


    Jepherson smiled. "We just got here. We must at least dance before leaving."


    Santiago said, "This is a waste of time."


    Jepherson pulled Raeleigh towards him. "Come here."
