Chapter 1012


    Hadrian held Scarlette''s hand, trying to reassure her.


    The corners of Santiago''s mouth curled up into a smile. It was as if he was a highly infectious


    disease, which was something that could not be ignored.


    "I''ll ask you again, who sent you here?" Santiago asked, standing by the side. He stared at the


    people around him, but no one said anything. He stopped asking and continued to fling the chair


    violently, until all of them were lying on the ground, bleeding all over. Only then did he throw the


    chair to the ground, and ncing at Scarlette and Hadrian, before turning around to walk towards


    Raeleigh. He pulled Zorion aside and walked out of the restaurant, holding Raeleigh''s hand.


    At first, Raeleigh didn''t want to look at the ground, but when she went out, she happened to notice a


    lot of people lying in a pool of blood on the ground. For a moment, Raeleigh''s face turned pale, and


    she waspletely frightened. Her palms broke out in cold sweat from the nervousness as she


    recalled the scene when the fire started in the orphanage.


    Raeleigh grabbed Santiago''s hands tightly. "No, don''t leave..."


    Santiago turned around. Raeleigh was shrinking in fear as she held his hand.


    "What''s wrong?" Santiago looked at Raeleigh. Raeleigh kept shaking her head. "No, don''t go..."


    Scarlette and Hadrian came to Raeleigh''s side. Raeleigh loosened her grip and covered her eyes,


    crouching on the ground, not daring to get up.


    Santiago squatted down and looked at her. "What''s wrong?"


    "Were you shocked?" Scarlette also squatted down and asked. Raeleigh didn''t say anything.


    mes filled her eyes. Scenes of dying people crossed her vision.


    Santiago pulled Raeleigh in his arms and held her tightly. "It''s alright. It''s alright."


    Santiago stood to his feet and carried Raeleigh. He turned around and walked to the door. Raeleigh


    didn''t dare to look at him. She covered her eyes with both hands. She only knew that too many


    people had died.


    When they got in the car, Santiago immediately drove Raeleigh to the hospital, but when they


    arrived at the hospital, Raeleigh was already fine. It was obvious she had calmed down from the


    way she spoke.


    "Are you sure you''re alright?" Santiago looked at Raeleigh with a displeased expression. She


    seemed to be a different person just then, as if she had been possessed by an evil spirit.


    Lifting his eyebrows, Santiago did not trust her and scanned her up and down.


    Raeleigh nodded. "I''m fine now."


    Santiago took a look at the time. It was already ten o''clock at night.


    "Let''s have a check up, since we''re already here." Santiago did not feel that it was a waste of time.


    He asked the doctor to arrange Raeleigh for a fullbody examination.


    After the results were released, Santiago came out and sat outside to have a look. The results


    turned out fine. Raeleigh was in good health.


    Santiago put away the report in his hand, turned around, and left with Raeleigh.


    As soon as he got out through the door, he saw Zorion''s car parked at the gate. He stopped for a


    moment and returned to the car, seemingly unperturbed as he drove back to school.


    "Zorion, is there anything wrong with Raeleigh? I think she seems to be triggered by something."


    Seeing Raeleighing out, Deanna could not help asking. Zorion did not answer but fixed his


    eyes on Scarlette and Hadrian, who followed after


    the two.


    Only then did he drive away and went back to the Whalen residence.


    After getting out of the car, Zorion took out his cell phone and called his men. "Check where Flynt is.


    Send a few people to the Moore family residence to stand watch. Find his second sister too. Cut off


    her little finger and send it to him."


    The phone was then put down by Zorion. Deanna was a little scared. "Zorion, aren''t you being too


    cruel?"


    Zorion turned to look at Deanna. "Don''t they think it was cruel when they kidnapped Raeleigh?"


    "Raeleigh is fine, but you want to cut off his sister''s finger. If it were me, what would you do if


    someone else cut off my pinky?"


    Zorion was stunned. He had not thought of that problem. He looked at Deanna, staying silent for a


    second, before saying, "Some things are not how you think. The world is not ck or white. In fact,


    it''s gray. Deanna, you''re not young anymore. In the past, I have always taken care of you, protecting


    you from being tainted in this world. I didn''t let you know how cruel this world is. Do you still


    remember? You were taken away when you were younger. Those people took you away because


    they thought that you were beautiful. You were so beautiful as a child that it caused people around


    you to have evil intentions. Our family is also kind, but the world is too contaminated. Even children


    won''t be spared."


    Deanna pulled him back. As they walked, she said, "I understand. I know all of you have protected


    me, and I know that you have good intentions. You punished the bad guys because they did terrible


    stuff. But Zorion... can you not hurt Flynt''s second sister this time? She''s his sister, and the person


    whomitted the misdeed is Flynt. It''s not fair to hurt her and make her lose her fingers. In the


    future, she will have a hard time with her inws and be looked down upon. If you offend someone,


    then others will alsoe for me. What should I do?"


    Deanna didn''t wish to have an awful brother. She wanted Zorion to be a good man.


    How could Zorion not know what she was thinking?


    "Well, I''ll listen to you this time. It won''t be like this the next time." Zorion kept to his word, took out


    his cell phone and called his men. He told them that they did not have to cut off Flynt''s sister''s


    finger.

    After making the phone call, Zorion returned to the vi with Deanna. Sitting down, Zorion recalled


    what had happened during the day and felt that


    something was amiss.


    Deanna also said, "Zorion, do you think something has happened to Raeleigh? Look at her. She


    seems to be triggered."


    "Yes, I''ll send someone to check on it." Zorion made another phone call. Deanna sat on one side


    and waited for Zorion to finish talking on the phone. She then asked, "Don''t you think that Santiago


    is being too excessive?"


    Zorion did not speak at first. Of course, he knew what his sister was asking, and that was why he


    said nothing.


    "What do you mean by him going too far?" However, when he saw the hopeful gaze on her


    expression, he still couldn''t help but to speak.


    Deanna thought for a moment and said, "Pulling and tugging Raeleigh. You know Raeleigh''s


    character. She can do anything. She doesn''t have that many thoughts. She''s just not smart


    enough."


    Zorion''s eyes twitched. Just who in the world was that stupid?


    Knowing that Deanna had the wrong idea, Raeleigh was not the kind of person who was clueless.


    She was like a rock with no feelings.


    "Is that so?"


    "Yes. Even if Raeleigh is not with you now, she''s still Jepherson''s girlfriend. Then, what is Santiago


    doing? Why does he keep holding onto Raeleigh?"


    The more Deanna spoke, the angrier she became. "I''m not sure if Jepherson knows about this


    matter. Zorion, I''m going to tell Jepherson."


    "Tell him what? " Zorion was amused by his silly sister.


    "Tell Jepherson about Santiago''s actions and that he needs to be wary of him," Deanna said as she


    rose to her feet. She did as she pleased, but Zorion pulled her back without hesitation.


    Zorion was also very concerned about his silly sister!


    "Deanna, listen to me. This has nothing to do with us. It''s not necessary to tell Jepherson, and..."


    Zorion felt quite helpless. Deanna was in a dilemma. "And what?"
