Chapter 923


    Raeleigh, Deanna, and Zorion went to the police station immediately. Everything was taken care of


    quickly and discreetly by theirwyers. The Whalen family wanted to keep a low profile and settle


    things as soon as possible.


    When everything was done, Raeleigh walked out of the station and was surprised to see that there


    were no reporters at the gate.


    "Raeleigh, it''s gettingte. You can stay at ours tonight," Deanna said as she stood next to the car.


    She had already nned to invite Raeleigh over.


    "No, thanks. I''d like to head back to the campus. The semester is almost ending and there are a lot


    of things that I need to catch up on."


    "Okay then. Zorion will send you back. As for Scarlette, you cane with me," Deanna said as


    she got into the car. Scarlette quickly answered, "No, it''s fine. Just have one of your drivers send us


    back. You can go home, don''t worry about us."


    "Scarlette, you don''t seem to like me very much." Annoyed, Deanna stepped forward to grab


    Scarlette''s arm, dragging her into her car.


    Raeleigh knew that it was all nned as Zorion didn''t try to stop Deanna.


    Without a word, Raeleigh got into Zorion''s car. It made Scarlette''s blood boil to see Raeleigh get


    into his car just like that.


    As the door closed, Zorion''s gaze fell on Raeleigh. He was expressionless, but he watched her


    closely.


    The driver started the car and drove away slowly.


    "Scarlette, you''re always trying to keep my brother away from Raeleigh. Don''t you think that they


    look like a perfect couple?" Deannained as she got in the car. The driver held back his


    laughter. Deanna indeed had a way of making people tongue-tied.


    Scarlette was so mad that she wanted to kick the door open and get down from the car, but she


    gritted her teeth and sat still.


    "How have you been these past two days?" Zorion asked after a while, breaking the silence. Calmly,


    Raeleigh replied, "Good. Nothing much happened."


    "I''m attending an event tomorrow. Would you care to join me?"


    Lifting her head, she gave him a puzzled look. "Why don''t you bring Deanna?"


    "Deanna has someone in mind that she wants to go with."


    Raeleigh guessed that she was going to invite Jepherson.


    If that was the case, what would Jepherson think when he saw her as Zorion''s plus one?


    Raeleigh thought for a moment before answering, "I''m busy tomorrow. You should ask someone


    else."


    "Okay." Zorion turned to look out the window and they didn''t exchange another word. Upon arriving


    at the university, the driver got out and opened the door for Raeleigh. As she turning to leave,


    Zorion called out her name.


    Raeleigh turned around and Zorion handed a book to her.


    She nced at it and saw that it was a book about cars.


    "I borrowed it from someone else, thinking that you may be interested. You can have a read. I''ll


    return it when you''re done," Zorion exined, smiling. Without responding, Raeleigh simply closed


    the door and stood waiting for Scarlette. A momentter, Deanna''s car arrived.

    To her surprise, Scarlette got out of the car in silence.


    Raeleigh thought that that was rather abnormal.


    "What''s wrong?" Raeleigh asked. Scarlette just shook her head and said, "Have you ever met


    someone who is so skilled at tormenting people with their words? I almost died listening to


    Deanna back there.


    Raeleigh, I think you''ll be a match for her. You should just give up."


    Raeleigh burst out inughter. "I''m sure Deanna meant no harm."


    "That''s what she said, but she never fails to give me chills whenever I''m around her." Scarlette let


    out a long sigh as she stomped away.


    ncing at the book in her hand, Raeleigh contemted whether it was worth it to have this book


    in exchange for her diary.


    She flipped through its pages and a piece of paper fell out onto the ground.


    She bent down to pick it up and was taken aback by what she saw.


    It was a photo of Zorion, a faint smile on his lips. It seemed to be an old photo, probably taken when


    he was in histe teens.


    Raeleigh looked at the picture of young Zorion in a white top, with his hands in the pockets of his


    ck joggers. She then slipped the photo back among the pages as she headed back to her room.


    Seeing that Scarlette was still fuming to herself, Raeleigh buried her nose in the book for the whole


    night.


    The next morning, Raeleigh didn''t get out of bed. Having learnt her lesson, Scarlette got up and


    nudged Raeleigh. Raeleigh opened her eyes, but she continued lying on her bed.


    "Scarlette, I pulled an all-nighter to finish a bookst night. I want to take a nap. Besides, we don''t


    have any sses today." With that, Raeleigh turned around and went back to sleep. Reluctantly,


    Scarlette went out, locking the door behind her.


    She was still a little worried about leaving Raeleigh by herself.


    With Scarlette gone, the room was empty and quiet, and Raeleigh fell into a deep slumber. When


    Scarlette came back, she was still asleep.


    Raeleigh finally got up at noon. She was thinking about going down to get some food when she saw


    a girl at the door. "Raeleigh, someone is looking for you. She''s a lecturer for the third-year sses."


    Raeleigh nced at Scarlette. "A lecturer is looking for us?"


    "I don''t know," Scarlette said as she shrugged her shoulders. Raeleigh could tell that Scarlette didn''t


    know what it was about either.


    They went down and saw a woman in her forties standing there. Compared to the other lecturers,


    she appeared rather young.


    Raeleigh walked up to her and asked politely, "Excuse me, ma''am. I heard that you''re looking for


    me?"


    "Are you Raeleigh?" the lecturer asked. Raeleigh nodded without hesitation.


    "Yes,m."


    "Come with me. Someone wants to see you." The lecturer turned around and started walking.


    Raeleigh wanted to refuse, but the lecturer was already quite far away.


    Scarlette nodded reassuringly, telling Raeleigh that nothing would happen as Hadrian was around.


    Only then did Raeleigh follow the lecturer.


    As they rounded a corner, the teacher stopped and said to Raeleigh, "He wants to see you, not


    anyone else. Your friend can stay here."


    Scarlette''s eyes darted around, clearly ufortable with that arrangement.


    "Who are you? Why are you looking for me? If you don''t exin things clearly, I won''t go without


    Scarlette," Raeleigh insisted.


    "Here''s the thing. We visited your grandmother. She seems like she''s in good health," the lecturer


    replied. Stunned, Raeleigh''s face turned pale.


    "Why were you visiting my grandmother?" Raeleigh could ignore anyone but her grandmother.


    The teacher just smiled and said, "Follow me, we don''t mean any harm. It''s best for you toe."


    After saying that, she turned around and walked away. Scarlette hastily pulled Raeleigh''s arm,


    "Don''t go, we don''t know them."


    "I don''t have a choice, Scarlette." Pushing her hand away, Raeleigh followed the lecturer. Scarlette


    immediately made a call to Jepherson. At the same time, Hadrian also came over and started tailing


    them.
