Chapter 924


    Raeleigh went with the teacher all the way out of campus. After a couple of turns through the quiet


    corners of the school, Raeleigh saw a car parked in a quiet spot outside the campus. There were a


    few people surrounding the car.


    At this moment, the female teacher halted in her steps and looked at Raeleigh, "Go ahead, he won''t


    hurt you."


    As she nced at the teacher, she asked, "Will you hurt my grandmother?"


    "I''m just following orders to bring you here so I can''t answer that. If you have any questions, you can


    ask the man in the car."


    Raeleigh turned to look at the sleek ck car. Hardly anyone would drive such a car nowadays as it


    was a tremendously expensive and old-fashioned car.


    Taking a deep breath, she walked towards the car. However, she did not look at who was in the car.


    Raeleigh understood that the more she knew, the more trouble she would get into.


    "Who are you?" Raeleigh stood outside with a calm look.


    Smirking, the man in the car said with a low voice, "Are you Raeleigh?"


    "Yes, I am."


    "Do you know why I came here to look for you?" The man sounded like he was in histe fifties.


    Shrugging, Raeleigh replied, "I don''t know."


    "You''re a smart girl and you''ve been doing pretty well since you were young. It''s a pity that your


    grandmother has been a burden to you."


    "My grandmother is not a burden, and we''re fine. There''s no need for you to stick your nose into


    someone else''s business. Get straight to the point."


    "Alright, I want you to be together with Zorion because I want to stir up conflict between him and


    Jepherson. The bigger the better. Can you do that?" He sounded like he was smiling.


    "I won''t hurt others. You should look for someone else," Raeleigh rejected as her face turned pale.


    They were threatening her with her grandmother. What else could she do?


    "My dear, I''ve only got a few days to live. For the most part, I don''t usually bring people into my


    affairs, but you broke in and interrupted my ns. Don''t you think you should pay the price?


    If it weren''t for you, Quirina will take your ce. But now, you got her out of the game. Shouldn''t you


    do something to pay for this?" "I didn''t do anything. Quirina left in her own will."


    "No, she left because of you, otherwise, my n would have seeded. My dear, you''re now


    involved in this mess. If you want to keep yourself safe, you must cooperate with me. I can''t


    guarantee what will happen if you don''t."


    "Who the hell are you? Why are you doing this?"


    "It doesn''t matter who I am. What''s important is who do you want to save. Am I right, dear?"


    Without a response, Raeleigh kept quiet. From the passenger side of the car, a young man with a


    pair of shades alighted. He approached Raeleigh and handed her a cellphone. "This is a phone I''ve


    specially prepared for you to track your location 24/7 and follow up on what you''re up to.


    Don''t try to go against us. You can''t."


    The young man shoved the phone into Raeleigh''s arms, turned around, and went back into the car.


    As the door was shut, and the old man added, "You''re very beautiful. No wonder both of them likes


    you. Take care of yourself."


    With that, the conversation ended and they drove away.


    Confused, Raeleigh stood there stared nkly at the gate. At this moment, Scarlette was dashing


    towards her and Hadrian fainted on the spot. The female teacher was nowhere to be seen.


    "Hadrian, Hadrian, what''s wrong?" She ran up to him as soon as she saw him lying on the ground.


    Holding him in her arms, she touched his cheeks gently.


    Opening his eyes, Hadrian lifted his fingers and pointed in the opposite direction. Scarlette looked


    over and understood. After putting Hadrian''s head down slowly, she got up and chased after them.


    Raeleigh wanted to stop her, but she failed. Scarlette had already rushed out before she could


    speak.


    At the school gate, she helped Hadrian up and said, "Hadrian, how are you feeling?"


    He nced at Raeleigh, "I''m fine. I need to call Jepherson."


    While Hadrian was on the call, Raeleigh took the opportunity to hide the cellphone.


    With a threat that involves her grandmother, Raeleigh had topromise.


    "Hadrian, you''re injured. Let me bring you to the hospital." Fumbling to look for her phone, she


    called Scarlette right away.


    "Scarlette, Hadrian is hurt. Don''t go after them, you may not be able to catch up."

    "Are you saying we should let it go?" Furious, Scarlette kicked the ground hard. Her expressions


    were beyond description as she ran faster than a bolt of lightning.


    "You shoulde back. Hadrian needs to treat his wound. His head is bleeding." Raeleigh hung up


    the phone and asked, "Where''s your car?"


    Hadrian refused to leave. "I have to wait for Scarlette."


    "She''ll be fine. Come with me. You''re here to protect me, not her." Disregarding everything else,


    Raeleigh brought Hadrian to the car. When she got to the driver''s seat, she took the car key from


    him and said, "Get in the car. I''ll drive."


    Meanwhile, Hadrian was standing there, looking at Raeleigh with wide eyes. There was nothing on


    Raeleigh''s file that said that she was good at driving.


    "Get in the car." Raeleigh got in and examined the car system.


    "We can take a taxi." For the first time, Hadrian cared about his life.


    Raeleigh raised her head, "What are you afraid of? Scared that I''ll crash?"


    Hadrian was dumbstruck. This was a life or death situation. How could she ask such a question? It


    sounded like she was making a joke out of his life.


    "Get in the car." Without waiting for a reply, Raeleigh urged him anxiously. Without a choice, he had


    to get in the car.


    "I can do this," Hadrianforted himself. Raeleigh looked at him pathetically and said, "I won''t let


    anything happen to you. I''m a car designer, trust me."


    Fastening her seatbelt, Raeleigh ignited the engine. With both hands on the steering wheel, she


    looked at the rearview mirror to make sure that it was clear before reversing the car. As soon as it


    was fine, Raeleigh drove the car out of the parking lot. Hadrian broke out in a cold sweat.


    It was obvious that Raeleigh was awful at driving. However, judging from Raeleigh''s calmness, it


    was not a big deal.


    Hadrian recalled the first time that Scarlette drove. She had bumped into his and Jepherson''s car.


    As he thought about this, he looked at Raeleigh in a daze.


    While they were on the way, Scarlette called. Raeleigh answered the phone with one hand and the


    other on the steering wheel. With his heart in his mouth, Hadrian raised his hand to cover his eyes.
