Chapter 1083
Everyone turned to look at the entrance, including Raeleigh. When she saw Jepherson, she did not
expect to get up, but the atmosphere in the room was a little unusual.
"I thought you said you were ying poker?" Jepherson asked, still standing at the entrance.
Raeleigh suddenly looked at her current position. Then, she got up and tried to exin herself.
When she saw the displeasure in Jepherson''s eyes, she did not know what to say.
"Why didn''t you tell us that you wereing back?" Santiago asked as he rose to his feet. He
tucked his hands in his pocket with a calm expression on his face.
Scarlette gulped, lowering her head. She was scared out of her wits.
She did not think that there was anything wrong with it, but when did Jephersone home? Why
didn''t he say anything?
"I just came back. Am I interrupting anything?" Jepherson''s eyes were calm as he stared at
Santiago.
Santiago thought for a moment and said, "You''ve misunderstood. Raeleigh just..."
"What about Raeleigh?" Jepherson asked. Raeleigh asked worriedly, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing. I''m just feeling tired. Can you follow me upstairs?" Jepherson turned around and made his
way upstairs. Raeleigh followed suit. There was an unusual feeling.
Scarlette heaved a sigh of relief when Raeleigh headed upstairs. Jepherson must have
misunderstood something.
Santiago turned around and watched as Raeleigh went upstairs into her room. He quietly followed
her upstairs. Deanna was downstairs with the rest while they watched Santiago walk upstairs. She
wondered why Santiago needed to follow Raeleigh.
When Santiago arrived upstairs, he stood outside of Raeleigh''s room, trying to eavesdrop on their
conversation. After a while, he came back downstairs.
Deanna was at a loss for words. Why did he have to eavesdrop?
"Why did youe home?" Raeleigh asked after a while. She remained standing at the door after
entering the room. Jepherson walked over to the window after entering the room. Raeleigh did not
say anything until she was sure that Santiago had left.
"You guys..."
Jepherson swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue. It was not that he did not believe
Raeleigh. There were just some things that he could not stop himself from thinking, especially when
it concerned Santiago.
Raeleigh did not answer. She knew that Jepherson did not want an exnation about what was
going on between her and Santiago. He wanted an exnation for their conversation earlier.
As her boyfriend, Jepherson trusted her. He also trusted Santiago because he was his brother.
Jepherson just did not know how to ask her after what he saw.
Raeleigh stood there for a while without saying a word.
Jepherson turned around to look at her, unmoving.
Raeleigh walked over and sat on the bed. She lowered her head and said, "I think we should take a
break for a while. I need some time to think through somethings."
Jepherson frowned. "Why?"
Raeleigh shook her head and did not want to say it.
The room fell silent. Both of them did not say anything. Marissa called Jepherson to ask him where
he was and whether he had met up with Deanna.
However, she could not reach Jepherson. So, she had no choice but to call Stuart. Stuart had to
ry the message to Jepherson. He immediately walked up to Raeleigh''s room and knocked on the
door.
When Raeleigh heard the knock, she got up from the bed, ending the silence in the room.
After opening the door, Stuart smiled at Raeleigh and said, "Madam Marissa called. Is Mr.
Jepherson in here?"
"Yes, he''s inside." Raeleigh turned around. A few momentster, Jepherson emerged from the
room. He took the phone and called Marissa.
"What''s the matter?" Jepherson looked at Raeleigh as he talked to his grandmother. Marissa
sounded very unhappy. "Why didn''t you answer my call?"
Jepherson thought for a moment and said, "I have something to discuss with Raeleigh."
"About what? What''s the point of talking to her?" Marissa felt unhappy at the mention of Raeleigh.
Whatever the case was, Marissa felt that Deanna was the perfect granddaughter- in-w. However,
there was no progress with Jepherson''s and Deanna''s rtionship at that time. Instead, it looked
like things were decided between Jepherson and Raeleigh.
Marissa had her own thoughts. For someone like Santiago, even if there were plenty of women
avable to him, he had to like them. Thus, she never really bothered about Santiago. She could
neither push him to be with just anyone, nor have a say in who he wanted to be with.
First of all, it was not that Raeleigh was nothing special. Jepherson had told her that Raeleigh had
many suitors, such as Flynt and Zorion, and they were not ordinary people. Since they liked
Raeleigh, it meant that she possessed amicable qualities.
At the very least, Santiago was still her grandson. Of course, she wanted to leave the best for her
grandson.
However, Marissa was not impressed with Raeleigh''s background. Therefore, she was not
interested in Raeleigh at all. If it were not for Raeleigh''s talent, then Marissa would disapprove of
their rtionship.
Marissa sounded angry. Jepherson was a little impatient and asked, "What''s wrong with Raeleigh?
Why can''t I talk to her?"
Jepherson''s attitude puzzled Marissa. What was going on?
Raeleigh raised her head to look at Jepherson, thinking he shouldn''t have done that. She did not
want to be the reason he had a falling out with Marissa.
Raeleigh reached out and pulled Jepherson''s hand. He turned to look at her and said, "Raeleigh
wants to leave the Richards Group and she is being headhunted by several organisations. They are
offering her a much higher sry. I have no idea who exposed her talent. The situation is a little
tricky right now."
"What?" Marissa''s face fell when she heard that someone had leaked the information. "Who''s that
rebel? You should investigate this immediately!"
"And Raeleigh, how could she do this because of money?"
"Isn''t she Santiago''s girlfriend? Where''s Santiago? Where the h*ll is he?"
Marissa was angry, and so was Jepherson.
"I''m going to hang up first." Jepherson''s attitude was unyielding. Marissa was furious, but she
gradually calmed down. She sat down on the couch and mmed her hand on it. "That''s ridiculous.
She doesn''t have much foresight. She wants to leave the Richards Group because of money. Who
does she think she is?"
Jepherson hung up the phone. Raeleigh did not quite understand and asked, "Wouldn''t your words
make your grandmother misunderstand me?"
"She has long misunderstood you. It doesn''t make a difference." After that, Jepherson nced at
Stuart and said, "I''m going to stay here tonight. You can go."
"Yes, Mr. Jepherson." Stuart took back his phone and left the room.
Raeleigh closed the door and looked at Jepherson. "You didn''t answer me."
"Grandma has long misunderstood you. She doesn''t like you. If I don''t say that, then she would
uncover your ws herself," Jepherson said as he reached out for Raeleigh''s hand and pulled her to
the bed for a seat. Raeleigh turned to look at Jepherson, saying, "Do you want your grandmother to
dislike me even more?"

"Is there any difference?" Jepherson held Raeleigh''s hand. He had a feeling that Raeleigh was
hiding something from him and it was not what happened downstairs. He seemed to feel that she
was hiding something else from him.
Raeleigh said nothing and just stared at Jepherson. "Didn''t you say that you wanted to apany
your grandmother this weekend?"
"Are you trying to drive me away?" Jepherson raised his eyebrows. Raeleigh shook her head.
Raeleigh felt a little ufortable at the thought of what their rtionship might be.
"Why do you look unhappy then?" Jepherson did not want to pressure Raeleigh. It was just that he
also felt ufortable when he saw Raeleigh depressed and wasn''t willing to tell him what was
bothering her.
