Chapter 1080
After Raeleigh apanied Novalie for a stroll in the yard, she sent her back to the room before
taking a seat on the couch downstairs. When one had something on their mind, it was hard to see
other things in their surroundings. Even the smartest ones would be in a daze.
Santiago was still mad at Deanna and Zorion that morning. He still had not gotten over it yet. He
pulled a long face at breakfast. If it weren''t for Novalie''s presence, then he would have definitely
vented out his frustrations at Raeleigh.
However, before he realized it, Deanna was chatting away with Raeleigh on the couch. Raeleigh
was still in a daze as she sat there. It was still morning, so Santiago was bothered by it.
After taking an apple from the kitchen, Santiago walked towards Raeleigh and sat down beside her.
He took a sniff of the apple and waved the apple in front of Raeleigh. When Raeleigh finally came
back to her senses, she asked, "Yes?''''
"What happened to you? You look like your soul left your body." Hearing Santiago''s words, Raeleigh
was speechless. She had no idea what was going on in his head. His words sounded simple and
honest, but they could trigger anyone and send them blowing their tops off.
Raeleigh rolled her eyes at Santiago. "You''re the one who looks like your soul has left your body!"
At that moment, Deanna was standing at one side, talking to Scarlette about the game. Initially, she
had wanted to talk to Santiago about it but he wasn''t interested. So, she went into the kitchen and
was a little absent- minded. When she emerged, she saw no signs of Santiago. The next time she
saw him again, she found him flirting with Raeleigh. Her face was tense. She felt very wronged.
They were all friends with Santiago, but why did Santiago treat Raeleigh particrly well and would
always turn to her? Whenever she approached Santiago, he wouldn''t talk to her and always
avoided her.
Scarlette snorted in contempt when she saw Deanna''s frustrations. She felt that it was weird to see
Deanna making a move on Santiago. She wondered why women would all fall in love with the men
of the Richards family, as if they were the only family with worthy men. What was Deanna thinking?
She had a crush on Jepherson for so many years and right then she changed her mind. It
happened all too quickly. Even if it was a good thing, she should at least keep her options open.
If they did end up together in the future, Deanna would have to see her long-time crush as her
brother- in-w, and her husband was someone whom she...
Scarlette was exhausted just thinking about it.
"If your soul did not leave your body, then why are you in a daze?" Santiago did not understand.
Raeleigh could stay in a daze for a whole day.
Raeleigh turned to look at him and said nothing. Only then did she notice Zorion''s presence and
that he was looking at them.
When Raeleigh saw Zorion, she briefly swept her eyes across the entire living room. It was easy to
find a few people in therge living room. When Raeleigh saw Deanna, she was looking at her with
a sad expression.
Only then did Raeleigh stand up. Misfortunes nevere one at a time. Santiago was also partially
to be med. Why couldn''t he find someone else to bother?
Raeleigh went to the kitchen to prepare a te of fruit and brought it out. She ced the fruits in
front of Deanna and Scarlette. "I did not sleep wellst night. I''ve been in a daze the whole morning.
If you did not call me, then I would have fallen asleep."
Scarlette looked at Raeleigh in disdain. She knew that she was lying.
Scarlette reached over and picked up a fruit. Then, she stood up, intending to leave, but Raeleigh
did not allow her to leave. "Sit down."
Scarlette had to sit back down.
"I''ve juste over and now you want to leave? Are you sick of me?" Raeleigh nced at Scarlette
unhappily. In fact, she could not stand being alone with Deanna.
Scarlette scoffed and said, "I don''t want to bother you."
In fact, Scarlette was talking about Deanna, and Raeleigh was aware. Raeleigh wanted to say
something, but before she could say anything, Deanna said angrily, "Scarlette, I was wrong about
you. How can you talk to Raeleigh like that? I''m not going to defend you even if we are friends. Can
you please treat Raeleigh a little nicer?"
Scarlette was about to lose her mind. She briefly red at Raeleigh and said to Deanna, "I didn''t
ask you to be my friend. You can always leave if you are unhappy."
"Raeleigh, look at her!" Deanna grabbed Raeleigh''s arm again. Scarlette was infuriated by
Deanna''s behaviour.
Was this person for real?
Raeleigh rolled her eyes at Scarlette. "Deanna has always been like this. You can do nothing about
it." "She''s not young anymore," Raeleigh said, pointing at Deanna. Raeleigh pushed her hand away
and said, "She''s only neen years old."
"So am I..."
"You are too impatient."
"Impatient? You''re calling me impatient?!" Scarlette yelled. Anger was running through her veins.
"Why don''t you take a look at yourself in the mirror?" Raeleigh handed a piece of fruit to Deanna.
Deanna was happy that Raeleigh offered her the fruit first.
Raeleigh also took a piece and said, "Let''s y some poker."
"What?" Scarlette''s eyes widened. Poker? She thought incredulously.
Raeleigh knew that as long as there was money involved, she would be able to pique Scarlette''s
interest.
Scarlette made up her mind immediately and finished eating the fruits in her hand. Then, she went
upstairs to get the poker cards. It was as if she had prepared for this. She brought her wallet with
her and sat opposite Raeleigh. She intended to get revenge for her loss and win back all of her
money, plus interest.
Deanna was also very interested in poker, but she wasn''t good at it.
"Are we going to gamble with money?" Deanna asked as she took a bite of her fruit. She appeared
to be very interested.
"It''s not necessary," Raeleigh suggested. However, Scarlette immediately said, "If we are not
ying for money, then I''m withdrawing."
Scarlette stood up and was about to leave. Deanna did notck money. She immediately stood up
and stopped Scarlette. Then, she said, "I have money. My brother, too."
Raeleigh almost burst intoughter when she heard Deanna''s words. She was definitely naive as a
child.
"It''s useless if you have it. You should ask Raeleigh whether she has money," Scarlette said.
Scarlette briefly nced at Raeleigh. Then, Deanna turned to Raeleigh and said, "Raeleigh, if you
don''t have any, then I can lend you some."

At the mention of that, Raeleigh suddenly remembered that she still owed Zorion a huge sum of
money. She remembered Deanna once told her that as long as she got together with Zorion, money
would not be an issue. However, she failed to do it, so she still owed him money.
Raeleigh thought for a moment. She owed Zorion a huge sum of money but she did not have any
money right then. Furthermore, she had just moved into a new house. She basically did not have
any money to return to Zorion.
She wondered whether she should start designing some cars for the Richards Group. That way, she
would be able to repay the money to Zorion.
When Deanna saw Raeleigh in a daze, she raised her hand and waved. "Raeleigh, are you there?"
Raeleigh shook her head. "I will find a way to return the money to you."
At that time, Raeleigh was thinking about the money she owed Zorion. So, that was what she
replied. As a result, she blushed after finishing her words.
"What are you talking about, Raeleigh?" Deanna was confused. She reached out her hand to touch
Raeleigh''s forehead to see if she was sick.
Raeleigh pulled Deanna''s hand away and said, "I''m fine. I mean if you''re willing to lend me, then I
will be sure to return it to you."
Raeleigh''s words did not have any particr meaning, but Deanna and Scarlette seemed to project
their own meanings into her words.
