Chapter 1617 Scheming
Jared found a pair of scissors and quickly cut off Jepherson''s clothes. It was then that Raeleigh
realized there were several cuts on Jepherson''s body.
Even though the cuts weren''t deep, they bled profusely.
Raeleigh stared at the cuts and unconsciously asked, "What happened?"
"Mr. Jepherson was attacked as soon as we stepped out of our office building. We managed to drive
some of them away and even caught some of the attackers. We thought that was it. We did not think
that we would be ambushed again just as we were about to pull up to the house."
Raeleigh understood Jared''s words but did not understand how Jepherson got injured in the process.
Did Ste not learn her lesson? Did she lose all hope in Jepherson?
Raeleigh had not heard any news about Ste in a long time. She did not understand what was going
on.
Unless it was the Doyle family.
Raeleigh knelt down and helped Jared to take off Jepherson''s clothes. Raeleigh held Jepherson in her
arms and asked Jared whether he needed any help to carry Jepherson into bed.
Jared nced towards the bed and wondered where they were supposed to put Jepherson since
Santiago was already on the bed?
Raeleigh did not think about it too much. She stood up and asked Jared to help her carry Jepherson to
the bed.
Raeleigh did not know why Jared trusted her so much, but he did as he was told.
Afterying Jepherson down on the bed, Raeleigh went to the door to anxiously wait for the doctor to
arrive.
A few minutester, Xanthus came back. When he saw Jepherson''s injured body, he hurried over to
take Jepherson''s pulse. Louisa entered the room and immediately turned into doctor mode as well.
By the time the doctor arrived, Xanthus had already given Jepherson an injection as well as cleaned
his wounds. Louisa also briefly gave Jepherson a quick examination before helping Xanthus to disinfect
the wounds.
Raeleigh asked, "Why didn''t you go to the hospital?"
"Mr. Jepherson told us not to. The Harvey family is currently under fire. Furthermore, things have just
settled down here in Capital City. If we went to the hospital, these things will be made public and the
Harvey family will be attacked again. That was why Mr. Jepherson told us not to go to the hospital. He
was adamant that we came home."
In fact, Jared wanted to send Jepherson to the hospital. But no matter what he said, Jepherson
refused.
That was why Jared had no choice but to bring him home.
Raeleigh stood aside and did not ask any more questions. Not long after, a servant brought the doctor
to the room. He immediately gave Jepherson another examination before inserting an IV drip into his
veins.
Raeleigh calmly sat on the sofa as she watched the two brothers lying on the bed.
This was their world. They would always take turns to get into trouble, which was what made people
around them tremble in fear.
Raeleigh ced her hands on her belly. That was probably the reason why she did not want her baby
to have anything to do with them.
Soon, everyone left the room. Xanthus went to take a shower. Raeleigh was the only one left in the
room as she sat and watched the brothers.
She knew that the lives of the rich and powerful families wereplicated. She did not realize that
there was an ugly side to human nature. Even if you did not provoke them, they would stille and
find you.
Raeleigh did not know how long she had sat there before she decided to take off her sses. She
looked at her hand but noticed that her vision was a little blurry even though her hand was right in front
of her. She had to focus all her strength on her eyes before she could see clearly.
However, the doctor did advise her not to exert herself too much because it might stimte her brain
tumor.
Raeleigh put her sses on again and got up to pour a ss of water. Just then, Jepherson slowly
opened his eyes. When Raeleigh saw him, she quickly walked towards him and helped him to sit up in
bed. Although his movements were slow, he did not feel any pain. He sat up and leaned against the
headboard.
Raeleigh sat down. "How are you feeling?"
Jepherson''s most serious injury was on his arm. So, he lifted his arm and proved to her that he was
fine.
Raeleigh cast a nce at Jepherson''s arm. "Would you like some water?"
"Sure."
Jepherson fixed his eyes on Raeleigh as she poured him a ss of water.
Raeleigh gently blew on the hot water before handing it to Jepeherson, "Be careful. It''s a little hot."
Jepherson opened his mouth. He couldn''t move his hands at the moment, so he had to rely on
Raeleigh to help him.
Raeleigh ced one hand on his shoulder and held the ss with the other. She carefully brought
the ss towards his mouth.
After taking a sip of water, Jepherson asked Raeleigh, "Why are you still being so nice to me? I thought
you had given up on me?"
The interior of the room was as empty as his words. No one could exin why Jepherson would ask
that.
However, Raeleigh did not hesitate.
"You haven''t given up on me either. You still treat me well." After Raeleigh finished speaking, she stood
up and poured another ss of water. Then, she gently blew on it. It was obvious that Jepherson did
not drink enough.
Raeleigh brought it towards his mouth again and he drank it all.
Then, Raeleigh put down the ss and looked at Jepherson calmly. Although their time together had
passed, their ending was still unwritten.
This was only the beginning, not the end.
For the sake of the child, she could not just die like that.
Raeleigh sat there for a long time...
"It was Flynt."
it was not a question. Rather, it was a statement. Raeleigh had just returned and not long after,
Jepherson was attacked. This was clearly Flynt''s doing.
Raeleigh was sure that it was him when she thought of what Flynt had said to her the day before.
Jepherson was calm andposed, but as soon as he heard Flynt''s name, he had a cold and
murderous look on his face. He leaned against the head of the bed and said, "Flynt is a waste of
space. Such people don''t deserve to live."
"And your point is?"
"Nothing."
...
Raeleigh froze for a moment and nced at Santiago on the bed. If Santiago was awake, she
wondered what he would do when he saw his brother injured like that?
She knew that Santiago would seek revenge.
He would cut Flynt into pieces.
Then, he would feed Flynt''s remains to the dogs.
However, she knew Jepherson wouldn''t.
Raeleigh asked, "Why?"
"The Cole family is the founding member of Capital City. What Capital City is today is all thanks to their
hard work."
"Although the Cole family in Capital City was not as powerful as before, they still have countless allies
within the city."
"And these people are the public."
"The Harvey family used to be under the Cole family. Without them, there would be no Harvey family. If
the Harvey family wanted to rece that family in Capital City, then we have to retain our reputation."
"Wealth was like a fleeting cloud. One cannot steal it by force."
"In the end, the Harvey family cannot be the one to attack the Cole family."
Raeleigh sat for a while, "What should we do about the Cole family?"
"All in all, the Cole family only has Flynt. With his character, he won''t be able to walk this path for long."
"The same knife cuts bread and fingers."
"The Cole family has lost too much trust in Capital City. If things do not change, then I wouldn''t even
have to lift a finger to destroy them. Flynt would do it all on his own."

Jepherson''s face was pale, but there was an unprecedented certainty in his gaze. Raeleigh was silent
for a while. She had learned something about Jepherson.
Although he was only twenty-five years old, he was as scheming as an old fox.
She wondered what he would be like in a few years? Perhaps he would forget who he was when they
first met.
