Chapter 835
After leaving the concert hall, Raeleigh became incredibly silent. She wasn''t sure why Jepherson
had brought her here and even though she had never been to a ce like this, she knew that she
wouldn''t have been allowed into the concert with the attire she was wearing.
If it weren''t for Jepherson, she wouldn''t have been allowed to go in at all.
The concert had yet to end, and they could''ve left slightlyter, but it would have been crowded at
the end of the show. Raeleigh was aware that Jepherson didn''t want to attract any unnecessary
attention, therefore they left the concert early.
The two of them walked out of the elevator as Stuart walked in front of them. Jepherson got into the
car after Raeleigh. The concert hall''s supervisor and manager watched them leave as they stood
outside Jepherson''s car.
On the way back, Raeleigh closed her eyes without thinking as she leaned against the car seat.
She usually went to bed at ten o''clock at night and due to spending her time focusing on the game
the night before, she felt exhausted that day. Moreover, it waste.
Jepherson leaned over and pulled Raeleigh to him, so that she could lean against his body. He
lifted his wrist to check the time as one of his arms circled around her. It was way past ten o''clock.
"Mr. Jepherson, are we heading back to the university?" Stuart asked as he figured that there was
no point heading back since it was closed.
"Yes."
"Alright."
More than half an hourter, the car arrived and stopped at the entrance of Elkton University. Stuart
and the driver got down from the car. He then stood aside and guarded it. Jepherson leaned against
the car seat with his eyes closed as he did a light patting motion on Raeleigh with his hand.
Raeleigh didn''t notice anything wrong as she was dreaming. She had a dream that her grandmother
was patting her to sleep.
She recalled a huge fire at the orphanage back then. Everyone perished in the fire, and she was the
only one who made it out alive.
She remembered that her grandmother was nearby, collecting recyble items that day. She heard
people screaming and ran towards the direction of the screams. It waste at night. She tried to
look for help, and she saw Raeleigh on the ground crying. Raeleigh had a wet nket covering her
body that was put on her by the orphanage''s caretaker.
She was still physically fit back then, and she quickly grabbed Raeleigh away from the fire.
The orphanage building copsed and a bright light shone. Just like that, the fire took away the
orphanage from her while ending more than ten innocent lives.
From that day onwards, she was given the name Raeleigh.
She thought it was a good name for her.
Raeleigh could still remember that she had a high fever after she was saved from the fire. The fever
wouldn''t go down, but her grandmother did not admit her to the hospital. She said that there must
have been a reason behind such a huge fire, and it was her destiny that she happened to be nearby
that night. It was a sign from God.
A few days after the incident, there were a bunch of people who showed up asking about the
incident. They asked if anyone around saw the kids that escaped the orphanage. Her grandmother
imed that she did not see any of them. Those people didn''t seem like they were from the
management team of the orphanage, and it meant that there was a hidden truth behind the fire.
Raeleigh remembered that there were seven other girls in the orphanage who were the same age
as her. She heard that they only managed to find six bodies and that must have meant that there
was one missing girl from the fire. The bunch of people must have been looking for the seventh girl.
From then on, Raeleigh would get nightmares every night. She would often cry or yell in her sleep.
As a result, her grandmother was worried about her and would always pat her to sleep. Raeleigh''s
condition got better ever since she went to high school.
Raeleigh dreamt that her grandmother was patting her to sleep.
Raeleigh was in a deep sleep and she only woke up in the morning. When she opened her eyes, it
was already past six o''clock in the morning. She was woken up by the sound of students passing by
to go into the school.
Jepherson could only feel how sore his arm and body was.
However, when he noticed Raeleigh had woken up, his mouth curved upwards and nted a kiss
on her forehead. "Morning," he said.
His heavenly voice rang into her ears and she gradually looked up at him. She paused at the view
of his charming and handsome face. She then looked away but looked back at him shortly after.
Before she turned to look at him, Jepherson was already smiling. Raeleigh was stunned, and she
didn''t react for a long time. She was recalling back to what happened the previous night.
"Why didn''t you wake me up?" Raeleigh looked upset. Then, her expression turned cold again.
Without waiting for him to reply, she turned around and got out of the car, heading straight towards
the school.
Jepherson couldn''t help but to smirk as he watched Raeleigh getting upset. He knocked on the car
door and Stuart came forward instantly. "Mr. Jepherson."
"We''re done here. Let''s go to thepany."
"Yes." Stuart and the driver got into the car at the same time. They obeyed Jepherson''s instruction
and headed to thepany. There was an important meeting that day and since the president of
thepany was abroad, every little matter in thepany was handled by the vice president of
thepany, which was Jepherson.
The outsiders thought that Jepherson was still in school, but in fact he had been working in the
company for some time, and he had been doing very well. His parents were very proud of him.
Jepherson got down from the car and headed into thepany. Then, Stuart got a call from
Marissa.
"Mr. Jepherson, Old Madam Marissa is on the phone." Stuart handed the phone to Jepherson who
was next to him. Jepherson red at him and said, "Have you seen me?"
His tone was stern and it was nerve-wracking. Stuart was well-trained for this situation and he knew
what to do.
Stuart immediately understood and picked up the phone. "Old Madam Marissa."
"Why are you picking up the call? Where is Mr. Jepherson?" Marissa was upset. Jepherson was
acting out of line, and there was no reason for women to be popping out everywhere beside him
when they had already made a promise. She wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Otherwise, she wouldn''t know how to exin to Rayan about the situation as she was the one who
wanted to introduce the Whalens'' daughter to the public, but the situation ended up horribly.
Although Zorion Whalen hadn''t said anything about it, he came to visit Marissa with a gift. He
wouldn''t have visited her out of the blue. He was probably here for an answer and Marissa had to
find out before it was toote.
Marissa was furious. Everyone in the Ink Garden felt worried about her too. Marissa had barely
lived there for a few days, and she was already upset. If Mr. Hansen and Madam Jenna were to find
out about it, they might be in a tough spot. They were all the elders who moved here from A City,
and they were not familiar with Marissa as they had barely met her.
They just found out that Mr. Hansen was abroad for a business trip and had forcefully brought
Madam Jenna along with him. They had only been here once.

"Mr. Jepherson is in a meeting right now." Stuart stalled Marissa as he watched Jepherson, who
had already entered the building.
"I don''t know if you''re just giving me an excuse. Make sure you ask him to return my call once he is
done with his meeting! He''s driving me mad!" Marissa then hung up the call. Stuart quickly followed
behind Jepherson.
Was Mr. Jepherson going to be in deep trouble?
