Chapter 869
Raeleigh turned to her other side and felt a softness under her hand, and her eyes instantly shot
open. The couch was soft, sure, but it was absolutely not this temperature.
However, when Raeleigh opened her eyes, she saw that she was not on the couch, but she was
sleeping opposite Jepherson.
Raeleigh suddenly got off the bed and looked down at Jepherson.
Jepherson woke up slowly and looked at Raeleigh, whose face was shrouded with a look of shock.
"I saw you sleeping and so I carried you up here. I didn''t do anything you didn''t want to do."
After exining it to her, Jepherson got up and went straight to the bathroom.
Raeleigh had hugged him all night. He was a man, so it would be unusual if that did not elicit any
response.
When Raeleigh got down from the bed, Jepherson was already done washing up and had exited
the bathroom. Raeleigh waited for a while and she then went into the bathroom.
Raeleigh thought that Jerpherson was irritable, like a child who was prone to throwing tantrums.
Although he was older than her, he did things without considering the consequences. He had a bad
temper and was childish.
If she didn''t provoke him, then perhaps they could get along together easily.
Raeleigh stared at herself in the mirror for a while, making sure that Jepherson had indeed not done
anything. Then, she felt relieved.
In TV series and novels, it is often said that the male protagonist would always take advantage of
the female protagonist when she was asleep or just unconscious in general. Raeleigh was most
worried about this.
"It''s good that he didn''t," Raeleigh said, feeling relieved.
When Raeleigh came out of the bathroom, Jepherson was already dressed. Raeleigh was dressed
in the golfing attire she had worn the previous day.
This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
On the bedy Raeleigh''s clothes. Raeleigh walked to the bed and intended to take them away and
get changed in the bathroom. Jepherson stopped her and said, "I''ll go out."
After saying that, Jepherson stepped out and closed the door, leaving the whole room to Raeleigh.
Raeleigh looked at the door for a while. Then, she got changed and stepped outside.
Stuart stood at the door waiting for Raeleigh. When he saw her, Stuart said, "Young Master has
gone to the restaurant downstairs to wait for you. Miss Anson, if you please."
"Ok." Raeleigh followed Stuart downstairs and asked about Scarlette while they were in the
elevator.
"Stuart, do you know anything about Scarlette''s matter?"
Stuart was stunned for a moment, but he hid it immediately in a short time. "Miss Anson, you''re
asking if she has gone down for her meal?"
"Yes," Raeleigh said, as if it was what she meant.
"She has already gone downstairs," Stuart replied. Raeleigh nodded, and then they went to the
restaurant downstairs.
Raeleigh entered the restaurant and found Jepherson inside. Then, Stuart walked towards
Jepherson and pulled out a chair for Raeleigh, who sat in it.
There were not many people here and there were not many people eating. The waiter quickly came
over. Jepherson put his hand on the table and handed the menu to Raeleigh. Meanwhile, he was
reading a newspaper, which was in his hand.
Raeleigh took the menu and had a look at it for a while. Then, she ordered two dishes that she
wanted to eat and asked Jepherson, "Would you like steak for yourself?"
Jepherson picked up the water from the table and took a sip. "Mmm."
"Excuse me, please add a portion of steak, medium rare." Raeleigh looked at the waiter next to her
and informed him.
The waiter epted her request and immediately asked Raeleigh, "Do you need anything else?"
Jepherson flipped through a page of the newspaper. "How do you know that I like medium rare
steak?"
Raeleigh froze for a moment. "Thest time I noticed, you had ordered your steak medium rare too."
"I don''t want anything else," Jepherson answered, but he didn''t look at the waiter, so Raeleigh had
to be the messenger andmunicated it to the waiter.
The waiter took his leave politely. Raeleigh took a look around and found that the atmosphere was
quite good.
"Stuart, book a ticket to return home in the afternoon." "Yes, sir." Stuart turned to the side and
Raeleigh took a look around. She wanted to go to the bathroom, so she stood up.
Jepherson raised his head to look at her. "What''s the matter?"
"I am going to the loo." Raeleigh turned around and walked towards the bathroom. Jepherson
looked at Stuart, who had note back yet. He didn''t know where Scarlette and Hadrian had gone
either. He put down the newspaper in his hand and then followed Raeleigh towards the direction of
the bathroom. He had left to follow her about half a minuteter. However, when he passed by,
there was no one in the corridor.
"Umm..." Raeleigh''s voice came from inside a room. Jepherson followed her voice and walked
towards that direction. He had a hunch that something was wrong.
Inside the washroom was a restricted area where the hotel cleaning staff kept the disinfectants.
Jepherson knew that most hotels, for the convenience of the cleaning staff, allocated such a room
for easy storage and ess of the cleaning products. This was also as a marketing gimmick, to let
their guests know that they take sanitation very seriously.
Jepherson stepped towards the entrance of the washroom. There was a series of pinging noises
from within along with some men''s husky voices.
"Who wants to have a go first?" a man said.
"Remember, we agreed..."
With a bang, the door to the storage room was kicked open by Jepherson. Jepherson''s gaze was as
fierce as a hungry wolf''s, as he appeared at the door with a cold expression.
At that time, there were three young men standing in the room. Raeleigh was knocked unconscious
and thrown on top of a cotton quilt on the ground. It was obvious what they were nning to do.
Jepherson mmed the door of the store room shut with a bang, loosened his cuffs, and walked
towards the three men.
The three of them nced at each other and walked towards Jepherson. In the end, the three of
them fought with Jepherson.
When Stuart returned and did not see anyone at the dining table, he immediately looked for them.
By the time he made it to the toilet, the door flung open from the inside and Jepherson came out
from the store room, carrying an unconscious Raeleigh in his arms.
"Young Master." Stuart stood at the door in a daze. Jepherson cast him an impatient look and then
walked out to the corridor, with Raeleigh still in his arms.
Stuart went in to have a look and was greeted by the sight of three unconscious men on the ground.
He didn''t know how they had been knocked out, and they were probably not dead, but none of them
seemed to be breathing.
There was a lot of blood on the ground, but there was no blood on the Young Master''s body.
Stuart closed the door and left the hotel with Jepherson without saying a word.
Raeleigh woke up on the ne and felt dizzy when she opened her eyes. However, as soon as she
opened her eyes, she came to her senses and she struggled to leave.
"Shh..." Jepherson''s breath whispered on Raeleigh''s ears. Raeleigh slowly looked at Jepherson.
She found that Jepherson was looking at her gently, with a hint of affection in her eyes. Raeleigh felt
wronged and said, "They..."
"They''ve been dealt with." Jepherson put Raeleigh''s head on his shoulder and stroked Raeleigh''s
hair. Raeleigh finally calmed down.
Although she was very strong, she had never encountered such a thing, not to mention that she
was only neen years old.
Feeling Raeleigh''s helplessness, Jepherson slightly narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he hadn''t
beaten them harshly enough.
Scarlette was seated in front and when she turned back and saw Raeleigh''s slightly shivering body,
she sped her palms into tight fists and thought to herself that she would surely beat those men to
death if she ever met them.
On the way back, Raeleigh didn''t say a word. Jepherson did not feel that it was safe to send her
back to the university, so instead, he brought her back to the Richards Group Hotel. Raeleigh
protested and requested to be sent back to school but she was forcefully held back.
