Chapter 971
Raeleigh was calm. This was her character. The more dangerous the situation was, the calmer she
was.
If it were not for Deanna, then Raeleigh would not have lost herposure.
At that time, Raeleigh was thinking the same thing as Santiago.
"Since it''s Flynt, how about we go and find him now?" Raeleigh raised her head to look at Santiago.
Santiago shook his head and said, "It''s useless. Even if Deanna was actually with him, I doubt he
would release her. If he admitted that he had kidnapped Deanna, then it would cause great harm to
the Moore family. Mr. Whalen is not in the country. The decision is in Zorion''s hand, and knowing
him, he would definitely not let the Moore family go."
"As you know, young people are fearless. Once the Moore family triggered this battle, Zorion would
definitely subvert the entire Capital City."
"The Moore family had been entrenched in Capital City for many years. But then again, they could
only be regarded as influential figures in the political situation. They cannot fully control Capital
City." "Over the years, the Moore family had not made any great achievements. The Whalen family
had already sealed the fate of Capital City. The Moore family has failed to change the situation. If
they wanted to reverse the situation, then they would have to start from our generation."
"Flynt thinks highly of himself and refuses to agree to his sisters marrying into either one of our
families. Of course, we think poorly of them too. Therefore, there are only two ways for him to turn
the tables on us, and that was to draw one of us to his side while pinning down the other side."
"Unfortunately, the Richards family and Whalen family are inseparable. Even without the marriage
alliance between Deanna and Jepherson to consolidate everything, our two families are still allies.
With Jepherson and Zorion here, even if the road is endless, we still would not be separated."
"Flynt is making things worse for himself."
"Of course, he is smart in his own way, but why did he want to get us involved? We would not be
easily harmed by him."
Scarlette lowered her head. Why were his words so unpleasant?
Raeleigh was stunned for a moment. Santiago was extremely frivolous, but Jepherson was the one
who had to bear all the responsibilities.
"But we can''t just sit around and do nothing. Deanna is too naive. If Flynt was the one who
kidnapped her, then I''m sure she will not let it go. She would not sit there and wait to be rescued."
"Yes, you are right. However, Zorion has already sent out a search party. I''m sure he will be able to
find her faster than us. What we need to do now is to think about how we''re going to tell my
grandmother about what happened between you and Jepherson."
Raeleigh did not respond to Santiago''s words.
"What?"
Santiago rolled his eyes at Raeleigh and said, "About how Jepherson is interested in you."
Raeleigh did not understand. Scarlette suddenly sighed. Raeleigh was not a dumb person. She
knew everything. However, Scarlette had no idea why she was so slow when it came to these
things. At that time, she was still worried about Deanna. She was afraid that she would not be able
toe out safely from the kidnapping.
Jepherson was nowhere to be seen now that Deanna was in trouble. It was impossible for Zorion to
keep everything a secret. Once Old Madam Richards found out about this, the next person she
would deal with would be Raeleigh, yet Raeleigh was still worried about Deanna. Scarlette
wondered whether Raeleigh was actually dumb.
A realization suddenly dawned on Raeleigh and she asked, "You mean, your family..."
"By now, my grandmother would have probably heard about what happened to Deanna. Now, there
are two things you have to be mentally prepared for. The first thing is to meet my grandmother, and
the second thing is toe clean to her about your rtionship with Jepherson."
Raeleigh frowned and said, "There is nothing going on between your brother and me."
"You are smart," Santiago said, raising his hand. Raeleigh''s heart was racing. She could not bring
herself to calm down.
She had already fallen into a crisis because of this matter. She was also not sure what to do.
Santiago briefly nced at Scarlette and said, "When my grandmother asks about thister, tell her
that I''m interested in Raeleigh and that I want her to be my wife."
"What?"
Scarlette was slightly stunned. Raeleigh looked at Santiago quietly. Santiagoughed evilly and
said, "Jepherson is a good man. My grandmother isn''t worried about him finding a wife. However,
I''m different. She will be very happy if someone is willing to marry me. You mighte off as a
weirdo in my grandmother''s eyes."
"However, you have to be mentally prepared. Due to the rtionship between the Richards family
and Whalen family, my grandmother will most likely ask me to give you up to be with Zorion."
"I can tell you that now we are in a united front. If you do not help me, then I will not help you. If you
make a mess, then no one will take care of you, so..."
"I understand. We are now a couple." Raeleigh immediately promised. However, Scarlette wasn''t
surprised.
If Santiago wasn''t here, then she would have pulled her aside and talked some sense into her.
However, she did not dare to do it because he was here.
"Very good. You''re a smart girl. Come on, let''s go and pay my grandmother a visit." Santiago turned
around and began walking. Raeleigh was busy wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, lest
she saw anything.
"Don''t we need to prepare ourselves? Do we have to visit her now?" Raeleigh felt that they should
wait untilter, or at least until they found Deanna.
Santiago lowered his head and said as he walked, "Now is the best time. Otherwise, if Zorion
reaches them before us, then we are screwed."

Raeleigh said nothing and followed Santiago to Richards Manor.
By the time they arrived, Raeleigh had already calmed down. She was then like a death penalty
criminal, who was being rushed to the guillotine. It was just that it was a quicker death. In fact,
regardless of what it was, she was going to die either way.
However, right then, she had no other choice but to put an end to this matter.
She could only do what Santiago said.
As they were walking, Santiago suddenly stopped in his tracks. The servants were shocked to see
him. They greeted him, one after another. "Mr. Santiago, you''re back!"
Santiago raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? Am I not weed?"
The servant quickly lowered her head and said, "No. Of course, you are! I''m going to inform Old
Madam Richards right away."
"There''s no need for that. Where is Grandma? I''ll go and meet her."
"She''s having dinner in the Ink Garden."
"Perfect. We haven''t had anything to eat yet," Santiago said. He reached out for Raeleigh''s hand
They only knew that Santiago was back and there would not be any peace in this ce anymore.
as they made their way to the Ink Garden. The
people in the vi were so scared that they did not
dare to breathe. They had no idea what was going
on.
Soon, Raeleigh was brought to the Ink Garden by Santiago.
"Madam Marissa, Young Master San-"
"What''s the matter? How''s the matter with Deanna?" Marissa was worried about Deanna. Rayan
was not home, so it would be troublesome if something happened.
What was she supposed to do by then?
And what was with this girl named Raeleigh? How did she manage to anger Deanna?
The servant stammered and could not say a word.
Santiago stepped through the door as he pulled Raeleigh, who had lowered her head.
Marissa looked up and was slightly stunned to see Raeleigh.
Marissa had seen Raeleigh''s photo, so she knew this woman was Raeleigh for sure. She did not
have to expend any effort, and Raeleigh had shown up at her doorstep.
Marissa''s face darkened. Just as she was about to lose her temper, her eyes suddenly fell on
Santiago''s and Raeleigh''s joined hands. She instantly fell silent!
