Chapter 821


    August had just ended and it was time for students to start school again. Inside the wealthy homes


    of Capital City, everyone was making preparations for their children who were about to return to


    school.


    At Capital City, in the Ink Garden of the Richards Group.


    There was afortable couch and a spacious living room. It was just like Richards Manor in A


    City, down to its art and furniture.


    Marissa was used to living in A City. Capital City was livelier than the A City but once a person


    came to a certain age, they preferred a quieter and more peaceful environment.


    Despite that, her grandchildren were in Capital City, so Marissa had no choice but toe live here.


    That time, she was invited by Jenna. The Ink Garden was specially cleaned up for her stay.


    Meanwhile, Jenna and Hansen lived in Green Jade Garden. They were close by.


    Marissa was satisfied with her life, especially seeing her grandson who was about to graduate from


    school and was already the vice president of


    thepany.


    "Jerry, are you going to schoolter? Have you seen Zorion and Deanna?" Marissa asked as she


    watched the television with a jade fan in her hand. She looked elegant and graceful.


    The Ink Garden had a more refreshing environmentpared to any other part of the house.


    Although August had passed and the weather was still hot, Ink Garden had undergone a renovation


    and it was a great ce to escape to in the summer. Otherwise, her grandchildren wouldn''t be here.


    At that time, Jepherson was reading a book on a big couch. He was wearing his usual ck pants


    and white shirt. He looked calm and graceful. Jepherson was only 23 years old and he had inherited


    his father''s good looks and intelligence. He was probably even more outstanding than his father in


    the past.


    Hearing Marissa''s question, Jepherson looked up and replied, "I haven''t seen them yet. Zorion and


    Deanna are going to college this year. Their training before school has ended and they are officially


    entering as students tomorrow."


    Marissa leaned forward. "Jerry, do you think Deanna is nice?" Marissa could not help admiring


    Rayan as she thought about what an obedient girl she was.


    Rayan had been doing well himself and his two children were obedient and brought up well.


    Deanna was the only preferred choice as Marissa''s granddaughter-inw.


    "She''s great. How couldn''t she be?" He looked up at Marissa. "What are you trying to say,


    Grandma?"


    "What do you think Grandma is trying to say? You''ll be 23 years old once you graduate and you''re


    about to take over thepany. What do you think?" Marissa had been reminding the family about


    it but Jenna and Hansen said that it was all up to Jerry and they didn''t want to meddle in it.


    He didn''t have to get married, but he could get engaged first.


    Jepherson turned his face away and lowered his head to continue looking at the book in his hand.


    "Deanna is still young and I''ve always treated her like a younger sister."


    "She''s not your actual sister and you two are not rted by blood. You''ve taken good care of her


    since she was young and she has said that she liked you. If you two were to get together, don''t you


    think it will only bring our families closer?" Marissa said. She thought that it was important for two


    individuals to have simr family backgrounds to get married.


    Jepherson thought about it. His thin and handsome face was as calm as water. "Thirty is when


    one''s life is truly stable. I won''t be thinking about marriage until then. Grandma, I don''t think you


    should force me about it anymore."

    Jepherson stood up and rushed towards the exit as he instructed, "Stuart, let''s go to school."


    Jepherson left in a rush and Marissa was left upset. He was so opinionated at such a young age,


    just like his father!


    "No, I have to think of a way." Marissa thought.


    In Elkton University of Capital City.


    The grand Elkton University was one of the famous buildings in Capital City. The Richards family,


    who owned Elkton University, was also one of the well- known powerful families in Capital City.


    Twenty years ago, the Richards family built Elkton University, and then it had be one of the top


    schools for wealthy students from all over the world to attend. The students who attended this


    school were from all kinds of wealthy family backgrounds. The school also epted students who


    were geniuses in various subjects.


    During that time, the freshman ball was in preparation.


    Jepherson''s car stopped at the entrance of Elkton


    University and Stuart went out of the car to open the door for him. The school board were all there


    to wee him, including the principal of the university.


    "Young Master Richards, this is an invitation that Madam Lilian asked me to hand to you." The


    principal was more than 60 years old but he still bent over to speak to Jepherson out of respect.


    Jepherson got out of the car and grabbed the invitation handed to him. He then started walking into


    the university. He looked down at the invitation and realized it was for the freshman ball.


    He casually handed the invitation to Stuart and said, "You can go."


    "Young Master Richards, Madam Lilian''s intention is to introduce Miss Deanna to everyone tonight


    and you must attend the ball, or Madam Lilian is going to call Madam Jenna about it," the principal


    said with his body and head bowed.


    Jepherson turned around, looked at him, and understood what he meant. Then, Jepherson turned


    around and grabbed the invitation from Stuart''s hand.


    Inside the back room of the hall of the freshman ball.


    "Do you see this? This is your schrship


    application form. If I were to tear this apart, then don''t even think about applying for a schrship


    anymore. So, are you done considering it? Are you going to do it or not?" A few girls surrounded


    Raeleigh inside the room as one of them held her schrship application form to threaten her. They


    wanted to humiliate her by making her send an inappropriate love letter to someone. Raeleigh


    refused to do so and she was cornered by them.


    "Are you sure you guys want to do this? This is a society of rules andws and we are in a


    university!" Raeleigh was one of the candidates who were chosen toe to Elkton University


    based on her outstanding results in car designing. She had the highest score in all of Capital City


    and she even got first ce in an international drawingpetition. She did not have a powerful


    family background and she wasn''t the daughter of a wealthy corporation. She got into this school


    solely based on her talents. The spoiled, wealthy girls in front of her could neverpare to her.


    Raeleigh looked at them with a cold gaze. Her eyebrows tightened and she knew she shouldn''t go


    against them because it would only make her situation worse.


    However, she was also unwilling to give in. Her mind and body were fully against it.


    "Thew? I am thew here! Raeleigh, we were hoping that you would get along with us but it


    seems like you''re not willing to and there''s nothing I can do about it. I''m going to tear your


    schrship application form into pieces now, and you better not regret it." Quirina raised her hand


    and was about to tear the form apart. Although Quirina was a new student in Elkton University but


    since she had a powerful background, she was known for being bossy and it was never a good


    thing to be her victim.


    "Wait!" Raeleigh finally gave in after she thought about the eyes of her hopeful grandmother. It was


    not easy for her to get into Elkton University. All she wanted was to graduate smoothly and not be


    involved in any drama.


    "I''ll go." Raeleigh gave in atst. The girl who was holding Raeleigh down threw a love letter to her,


    along with a ck velvet box.


    Raeleigh nced at the box and asked, "What''s inside?"


    "You don''t have to bother with that. Just go and do it. Once you''re done, your schrship


    application form will naturally be returned back to you. You''re the top student in Capital City and it


    would be a piece of cake for you to get your schrship. We wish you good luck." Quirina sneered


    at her. "Raeleigh Anson, who do you think you are? What''s so great about a top student?" Quirina


    insulted Raeleigh in her heart.


    Quirina disliked Raeleigh because she was always focused on her studies, without a care for


    anything else, and she thought she was better than anyone else. Also, Raeleigh was beautiful. Not


    only did she have good grades but back in military training, Raeleigh would be first ce in most of


    the courses like swimming, shooting, and running. Quirina was so annoyed and she even heard that


    Raeleigh was also first ce in an international drawingpetition. Quirina was extremely


    intimidated by her and wanted to humiliate herpletely that day.


    Raeleigh didn''t say a thing and she looked around at the people surrounding her. She looked down


    at the love letter and saw that it was addressed to Jepherson Richards.


    "Who is Jepherson Richards?" Raeleigh asked all of a sudden. Since they wanted to humiliate her,


    she had to find out who she was sending the letter too.


    It was dead silent all around.


    All of the girls, including Quirina, were stunned by Raeleigh''s question. How could one be in Elkton


    University and yet not know who Jepherson Richards was?!


    How could she not know Jepherson Richards! In themunity of students in Capital City, it was


    equivalent to her not knowing who the president was! Everyone in Capital City knew who Jepherson


    Richards was. He had the best grades and he was first ce in basketball, shooting, and many


    more! He was also rich and intelligent. The wealthy girls from all over the country were all trying to


    get into Elkton University just for him. Was it possible for someone not to know who he was?


    Furthermore, there was a huge poster of Jepherson at the entrance of the school. Students would


    go in and out the entrance during their military training, was Raeleigh blind?


    However...


    The group of girls smiled at each other and winked at each other. They found the situation even


    more amusing.


    "We will tell you who he is. As long as you do as you are told, we will give this back to you." Quirina


    tapped the schrship application form in her hand. "Or else, we will tear it up into pieces and kick


    you out of Elkton University."


    Raeleigh could not be bothered to say more. "I understand. I hope you guys won''t lie about that."


    Then, she turned around and walked out in a white dress that her grandmother prepared for her.


    When it was time for the freshman ball to start,


    Quirina found Raeleigh and brought her to the ball.


    At that time, the ball was filled with people and everyone was trying to squeeze themselves to the


    front. It was hard for anyone to move in the crowd. The crowd was here to see Jepherson. Screams


    were heard throughout the hall.


    "Wow, he''s so handsome!"


    "Oh, my gosh! He looks a million times better in person!"


    "If Young Master Richards could look at me once, then I would die in peace."


    There were girly screams everywhere. Raeleigh thought that the girls were acting foolish and she


    was getting a headache from all the noise.


    As they were standing near the outer fringes of the crowd, Raeleigh looked at Quirina and the girls,


    and then asked, "Are you guys sure we can make it to the front?"


    "That''s my problem, you just take care of your part," Quirina said. Then, she pushed someone away


    and said, "Get out of the way, do you hear me?"


    The girl that was pushed by Quirina was a petite girl. She had specially dressed herself up and


    arrived early at the freshman ball just to see Jepherson. She had also entered Elkton University just


    to see Jepherson.


    Unfortunately, she quickly backed away when she saw Quirina trying to get her way in. It was


    obvious that Quirina could get her way most of the time in school.


    The reason Quirina could get her way was because she was from the Moore family. Everyone in


    Capital City knew who the Moore family was and Johan Moore was a well-known figure too.


    He was then over a hundred years old but still energetic as always. He was one of the main seniors


    of Capital City.


    Johan Moore was the grandfather of Jepherson''s mother. Everyone in Capital City was aware of the


    rtionship between these two families. Furthermore, Elkton University was owned by the Richards


    family, so didn''t that mean that half of it belonged to the Moore family?


    Quirina was from the Moore family and she was well-respected in school. Everyone thought it was


    normal for her to be bossy.


    The students who were pulled away by Quirina, moved out of the way, and gradually everyone in


    front moved out of her way too.


    "It''s your turn," Quirina said to Raeleigh as she pointed at the empty pathway in front of her.


    Raeleigh was helpless and she could only walk forward with the love letter and a little velvet box in


    her hand.


    "Do you see that guy with his back facing you? That is him. He is the one in the ck shirt. Hand


    the box to him, open it up, and read the contents out loud. If I don''t hear your voice clearly, then it


    doesn''t count. Then, open up the item and hand it into his hands. If you fail to do any of this, then


    look at this," Quirina said as she waved Raeleigh''s schrship application form in her hand. "It will


    be the end of you." She added.


    Raeleigh looked at Quirina and said, "I hope that you can keep to your word and return it to me."


    Letting out a subtle sigh, Raeleigh walked towards the man whose back was facing her, as


    everyone looked. She didn''t know what Quirina and the other''s intentions were and she didn''t know


    what she was about to get herself into but it all didn''t matter to her. The only thing she cared about


    was toplete her studies at Elkton University.


    At that moment, Quirina and the other girls were waiting to watch a good show.


    A long-haired girl said to Quirina, "You''re savage. Who doesn''t know that Young Master Richards


    hates girls making the first move? I heard that the girls who made a move on him always end up in


    complete humiliation."


    "Tomorrow, the whole school will know that Raeleigh, who is good in everything, is blinded by love


    too. It feels satisfying just thinking about it." Quirina sneered as she yed with her hair.


    Raeleigh walked towards Jepherson step by step.


    Stuart noticed that someone was approaching them and Jepherson noticed it too. Then, Jepherson


    turned around to see who it was.


    At that moment, Jepherson was stunned.


    Raeleigh was wearing a white dress, which was specially prepared for her by her grandmother. She


    initially intended to wear it that day for the freshman ball but she didn''t expect it to be for this


    purpose.


    She had her hair down and she was wearing a pair of pink sandals. It was the most luxurious pair of


    shoes she had.


    She was petite and she had a delicate face. Her dull gaze didn''t look around at the crowd


    surrounding her and she didn''t look up at the person in front of her either. All she wanted was to


    finish her task and get back her schrship application form.


    As for this senior named Jepherson Richards, he had nothing to do with her.


    She paused. Then, without looking up at the person in front of her, she opened up the love letter


    gradually with a stiff movement. She Cleared


    her throat and said loudly in front "Please ept my confession."


    of everyone,
