Chapter 1608 The Results


    After Calvin and Belle left, Raeleigh put her luggage aside and went outside to have a look. She first


    gathered the servants; she wasn''t surprised to learn there were dozens of them in Fragrance Garden.


    She knew full well what kind of family the Harvey were; it wouldn''t surprise her even if a few hundred


    servants were in a residency.


    The individual rooms aside, the garden outside alone already needed a handful of people to manage,


    so the number of servants present was reasonable.


    Standing in the courtyard, Raeleigh studied the servants and inquired about their jobs in the residency


    before she picked a few of them by instinct and assigned the others elsewhere.


    Then she instructed them to get some rooms ready; one for Xanthus, another for Louisa and Colston,


    while she would be staying in the room right next to Santiago''s.


    Raeleigh didn''t have the intention of making any exnation to anyone. Since she had moved in, the


    decisions were in her hands.


    When everything was ready, Raeleigh went to the manor''s gates; Colston and Louisa had arrived just


    then.


    Raeleigh led them straight to Fragrance Garden; she didn''t need to tell Calvin anything in advance.


    Belle was still a little worried. Not because of Santiago''s condition, as the doctors had already said


    nothing would change for the time being.


    But that of Raeleigh''s pregnancy. She couldn''t sit back and do nothing.


    After taking care of Paige, Belle said, "Mom, I''m going to visit Santiago."


    Paige blinked; she did not even have the strength to raise her hand, but her expression suggested that


    she should go.


    Belle nced at her husband and father-inw. She was still giving Calvin the silent treatment as this


    was the most upsetting decision he had made since she knew him; she wasn''t just mad but infuriated.


    He was getting on in years and wouldn''t listen to her anymore. If it were a decade ago, Belle would''ve


    run away from home.


    Belle went to Hudson''s side and said, "Take a rest first. I''m going out for a while."


    No one told Hudson and Paige Raeleigh had moved into Fragrance Garden.


    All in all, it was because they were worried Paige would be upset, leading her condition to worsen if she


    found out.


    After leaving Ink Garden, Belle went straight to Fragrance Garden. She thought it was odd when she


    saw two servants standing at the front door as anyone coulde and go as they wish, or at least no


    one would be at the door.


    Belle couldn''t wrap her head around it.


    "Madam Belle." Seeing Belle approaching, the two servants at the door greeted her. Belle asked, "Did


    Raeleigh ask you to wait for me here?"


    "No, Miss Raeleigh asked us to guard the door and not let anyone in."


    "Everyone?" Belle thought Raeleigh must have her reason, so she didn''t ask why.


    "Only you, Master Calvin, and Mr. Jepherson cane as you please. We will have to inform Miss


    Raeleigh if anyone else visits."


    "Is that so?"


    Belle thought that it was thoughtful, but the unwee guests would''ve already been stopped at the


    gates of the manor, so what was Raeleigh''s purpose? Who was she trying to ward off?


    Belle was about to go inside when Xanthus brought a few people in. They were strangers in work


    overalls.


    "Who are they?"


    "I''ve hired them to set up some surveince cameras," Xanthus said.


    He only saw Belle when he came in; she was also a little surprised as she looked up around her house.


    There had been surveince in the house before, but Calvin got rid of them as he didn''t like that they


    hindered their intimate moments. Therefore, there was only one by the front door.


    "Did Raeleigh arrange for this?" Belle asked. She didn''t find it strange as it wouldn''t harm to have them


    installed anyway.


    "Yes." Xanthus did not exin, nor did he think it was necessary.


    Belle thought for a moment before saying, "How many would there be?"


    "Everywhere but inside the bedroom."


    "The bathroom too?"


    "Not inside but the entrance."


    "That''s quite a big scale. Put it on our tab." It was her home, after all; Belle couldn''t let Raeleigh pay for


    it.


    "I''ll tell Raeleigh about this. Auntie Belle, you can go in without me. I''m going to look around the


    premises."


    "Go ahead, do what you need to do." With that, Belle headed for Santiago''s room. Seeing the massive


    residence in order, she smiled unknowingly. She had fallen deep into despair because of Santiago''s


    injury. Looking at the ce now, she only realized it was as beautiful as ever.


    As Belle approached her son''s room, the servants greeted her, and Raeleigh heard that Belle had


    arrived, so she stopped whatever she was doing and came out.


    She greeted Belle.


    "I''m just here to take a look at Santiago. Do what you need to, but don''t tire yourself."

    "My two other friends have arrived. I''ll introduce them to you."


    With that, Raeleigh brought Belle over to Santiago''s room. Belle asked, "Who are they?"


    "Members of the Cole Family."


    Raeleigh could only say so; Belle was still a little surprised.


    Entering, Belle froze for a moment when she saw Colston and Louisa. Colston was standing; his


    straight posture reminded her of someone, but she was uncertain. As she moved closer to them,


    Colston turned around and greeted Belle. "Hello."


    Belle sized him up then nced at Raeleigh. "This is..."


    "He is from the Cole family. Colston is the seventh son of Flynt''s generation," Raeleigh exined, and


    Colston added, "I''m only an average guy. The Cole family took me back when my mother died. My


    father has many wives and concubines, and my mother gave birth to me outside wedlock."


    Fixing her gaze at him, Belle asked, "Are you Welven''s son?"


    She had met Welven before. He was good-looking, suave, and knowledgeable. However, he was a bit


    of a casanova. Although not as much as Yousif, he was no decent man either.


    She sized Colston up and said, "In terms of seniority, what do you have to address me as?"


    "The Cole family had never mentioned this to me. I''m no longer a member of the Cole family; it''s just a


    surname now."


    "You have integrity; I''ll give you that. Why are you here?"


    Belle asked and nced at Louisa, who was examining Santiago.


    "Louisa and I are husband and wife. We were caught up in the dispute between the members of the


    Cole family, so we went into hiding in Waverly Vige. But the Cole family saw us as an eyesore, so we


    have no choice but to leave."


    "Louisa is pregnant; I just want a safe ce for her to give birth."


    "We owe Raeleigh a debt. She told us about Santiago''s condition and asked us to take a look and stay


    here in the meantime."


    "By the way, Louisa is knowledgeable in acupuncture."


    Belle now had a rough idea after listening to Colston''s exnation. Hearing that Louisa knew


    acupuncture, she immediately walked over to her as if she was thest straw to save his life. She


    asked, "Can you really cure my son?"


    "I''m still checking, so I can''t answer yet." Louisa continued to check, and Raeleigh said, "Louisa needs


    time, Auntie Belle."


    "Okay, I won''t disturb you. Carry on. I''ll wait here."


    Nervous, Belle quickly sat down, giving Louisa space as she waited for the results.
