Chapter 1002
Jepherson returned to Richards Manor. Marissa immediately stopped him as soon as he entered.
"You still remember the way back home?"
Since what happened to Deanna, Marissa had not seen her grandson, Jepherson. She didn''t know
where he went and couldn''t find him.
Deanna was in an awful state right then. She didn''t answer the phone and hadn''te back since.
It seemed that there was a huge misunderstanding since thest incident.
Marissa couldn''t see Deanna, so she was worried, but Jepherson didn''t take it seriously and only
returned by then.
"Grandma." Jepherson walked up to Marissa, lifting his hands to hold her. Marissa was frustrated,
but when she saw Jepherson smiling at her, every bad feeling evaporated.
She turned around, heading towards Ink Garden.
While walking, she said, "Your parents are not here, and I''m worried sick of you. What''s more, you
pissed Deanna off without an exnation. Where have you been?"
"I was out of the city, and I just came back. Something happened over there," Jepherson said
absent-mindedly.
"What could it possibly be? Did you go searching again?" Marisa didn''t understand. It had been so
many years. Why couldn''t he believe it?
"Yes, I did. But this time, I had something to deal with, so I came backte."
"What''s the matter? What''s more important than Deanna?"
Marissa did not believe that Jepherson would have anything that could possibly dy his return. In
hindsight, he didn''t regard Deanna as his future bride.
Jepherson hesitated for a moment before saying, "I had a car ident."
Marissa was walking and thought that she had heard a joke, but then she stopped in her tracks.
She turned around to look at Jepherson, who did not speak. His gaze was determined, and
Marissa''s heart jolted.
"What happened?"
Her voice changed. Marissa''s voice was slightly trembling.
The servants who apanied her kept silent. The butler was also surprised. Did something
happen to Jepherson?
Jepherson told her the incident of someone driving with the intention to run over him, but he
reced the main character of the story.
Marissa''s face turned pale when she heard that. She held Jepherson''s hand tightly and said, "Then,
you..."
She was busy looking at Jepherson''s leg. Jephersonforted her. "Nothing much. I managed to
dodge it in time but was slightly injured, so I stayed at the hospital for a few days. I had some
medicine, and they gave me an injection. I''m fine now."
Marissa kept prying with every breath she took. She wasn''t a fool. She held Jepherson''s hand
tightly and walked towards the Ink Garden. When she arrived at the Ink Garden, Marissa sat down.
Those around didn''t even dare to nce at Marissa. No matter what Marissa thought, something
was wrong.
"Stuart, what''s going on? What were you doing? Did you see what happened?" Marissa questioned
Stuart. Stuart knew that he could not escape, so he had long been prepared.
"Madam Marissa." Stuart rushed forward and lowered his head. "It was too sudden. Young Master
wanted to buy gifts for the children at the orphanage in person. As soon as we arrived at our
destination and got out of the car, a car rushed out. Fortunately, he had great reflexes, and he was
quick to notice it. Otherwise, we wouldn''t have been able toe back."
Marissa''s heart shook, and she was frightened.
"What have you found out about it?"
"Yes, it was a stolen car. It was stolen upon our arrival. I believe that someone has set his eyes on
Young Master, and it was nned out ordingly to be carried out of the city, so they won''t need to
worry that something might happen here in Capital City."
Stuart exined in great detail. Marissa nodded in agreement and said, "Well, they''re trying to bully
me, grasping my soft spot? Stuart, go and break the leg of the Moore family''s grandson. Let''s see
how he can still be arrogant."
Marissa was so angry, and she would do anything for her grandson.
Although Santiago was also her grandson, Marissa favored Jepherson. Even in the Richards family,
everyone knew about it. Sometimes, it was so obvious that she doted on him too much that they
could not bear to see it happen.
Stuart stayed silent. He took a careful look at Jepherson.
Jepherson said, "It''s none of your business. All of you can leave now."
Stuart brought all the others out with him as he left. Soon, there were only Marissa and Jepherson
left.
Marissa was furious, but she was not confused.
She looked at Jepherson and said, "Roll up your pants. Show me your legs."
Jepherson bent down and rolled up his pants. She saw that there were a few blisters on
Jepherson''s legs that looked like dry blisters. There was nothing else. It was a little strange.
"What happened?" Marissa had never experienced that before.
Jepherson said, "My bones were affected. They were swollen. It''s fine. I just need to change the
cast regrly."
"And you''re saying it''s fine? Do you think I''m a fool? What''s going on? Do they notice that the
Richards family is getting stronger by each generation, and so they''re afraid and worried? How
could theye up with such a vicious idea to hurt you? It''s so absurd. I''m so furious. I can''t let it
slide."
Marissa''s temper worsened as she grew older. She walked back and forth, trying to find a way to
ruin the Moore family.
That was human nature. When she had nothing to do, she lived a carefree life at home. When she
had something to do, she couldn''t sit still.

Marissa achieved greatness for her husband''spany in her younger years. At that time, many
admired her. Later, she went through unpleasant matters as a result of her daughter-inw, but it
did not mean that she was then old and useless.
Marissa''s anger couldn''t be suppressed at all.
"Call your father and tell him toe back. We can''t let this go. This is too much." Marissa turned
around to look at Jepherson. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I did. He said that it isn''t
appropriate to intervene in this matter."
"Did he say that?" Marissa was even angrier. Jepherson nodded.
"He''s useless." Marissa walked on and thought for a moment. "Call your grandfather and ask him to
come over. Tell him that I''m sick to the point of dying."
Marissa was really enraged at that time.
Jepherson sensed that trouble would befall him when he heard that his Grandpa wasing.
"There''s no need for that. It''s time for Grandpa to live a happy life. I also want you two to reconcile
when the affairs in Capital City are settled. I don''t want Grandpa to work too hard anymore."
Marissa doted on Jepherson. No matter what he said, it sounded pleasant to the ear. Her anger
subsided greatly.
"My child, you can''t even deal with your affairs, yet
you''re thinking about me and your grandfather?
Your grandfather can''te back anytime he
wants. He has something to attend to."
"Grandma, you don''t have to worry so much. Since I''m back now, I won''t let this matter slide. It''s just
that we can''t rush into things for now. It''s as if we''re taking advantage of their troubled situation and
Johan being ill."
"Didn''t my father say that we should convince others with reason? If we want them to lose, then
they should be sincerely convinced."
"That''s what they usually say, but what if they continue to carry out misdeeds? What will happen by
then?"
"They dared to act outside the city, but that might not be the case in Capital City. Santiago and I
both encountered this problem. I think this matter should be investigated carefully, so I won''t have
much time to keep youpany, and I hope you won''t step out of the house."
"Desperate times call for desperate measures. Right now, there''s only the trio of us of the Richards
family in Capital City. Santiago and I have already been affected. I''m worried for your safety."
Only then did Marissa understand that Jepherson
hade back to remind her to be careful. Marissa was naturally delighted and grew to love her
grandson even more. Her mood instantly brightened.
