Chapter 1199


    A few momentster, Raeleigh emerged from the room with an overnight bag. She also briefly


    talked to Xanthos before following Santiago into the car. Xanthos watched as they left before he


    made his way back into the hoose to check on Novalie.


    When he entered the room, Novalie sighed and said, "I''m sorry to trooble yoo again."


    "Don''t worry aboot it. It''s my doty to take care of yoo." Xanthos sat down beside Novalie. Novalie


    said, "After I pass away, please take Raeleigh with yoo and leave this ce. This ce is not right


    for her at all. There are too many things going on here."


    "Grandma, why don''t yoo move abroad with os since yoo''re in good health? That way, Raeleigh


    woold not need to worry aboot yoo and she''ll be able to focos on her stodies. I''m trying toe op


    with a solotion with my parents to see if there''s any way Raeleigh can move abroad soon." In fact,


    this was the reason Xanthos had been so bosytely. Novalie took a look at Xanthos and said, "I


    respect yoor decision. Do what is best for her. However, as yoo know, she can be very stobborn. I


    think it''s best if yoo talk to her."


    "I know." Xanthus was worried that she wouldn''t agree as well. If it weren''t because of that, then he


    would have gone through with his decision much earlier.


    Raeleigh left her house and followed Santiago back to her previous residence. As soon as she


    arrived, she went straight to her room to retrieve the property ownership certificate. She said as she


    handed it to Santiago, "This belongs to you now. Once I receive the money, I''ll arrange to have the


    property title transferred to you."


    Santiago lowered his head and nced at the property ownership certificate. He epted it and


    handed the certificate to Cynthia. "You can have it if you want. I don''t need it. Once weplete the


    procedure to transfer the property, this house belongs to you."


    Santiago turned around and went to the restroom. Cynthia took the property ownership certificate


    and walked over to Raeleigh. "I told Santiago that I wanted the house. He once told me that he will


    agree to whatever request that I have."


    "Thank you." Raeleigh wasn''t sure what to say. Cynthia was true to her word.


    "No problem at all. If you ever want the house back, then let me know. You can pay me back in


    instalments. I will pay Santiago back in instalments as well."


    Raeleigh did not say a word. She knew Cynthia had good intentions, but she had made up her mind


    that she would never want the house back, just like her rtionship with Jepherson. They would


    never get back together. Things had changed. Nothing would ever be the same again.


    Raeleigh and Cynthia sat in the living room. When Santiago emerged from the bathroom, Stuart


    arrived with two men in tow. Each of them carried a briefcase in their hand. When Stuart saw


    Santiago, he hurriedly instructed the two men to put the briefcases down.


    "Mr. Santiago, this is the seven million dors in cash that you have requested. It''s all in here."


    Stuart nced at Raeleigh briefly when finished his words. Then, he turned around to leave.


    Santiago nced at Raeleigh and said, "Come on, let''s go and deposit the money."


    Santiago then picked up the two briefcases and made his way towards his car. As soon as he got


    into his car, he gave Jepherson a call. "Did I say I want the money to be sent over to the house?


    They ced the briefcases here and left without saying anything else."


    Jepherson did not reply and hung up the phone.


    After Raeleigh and Cynthia got in the car, Santiago started the car and drove towards the bank to


    deposit the money into Raeleigh''s bank ount. Then, he drove them home.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Whilst on their way home, Raeleigh informed Santiago that she wanted to drop by at Zorion''s ce.


    Santiago made a detour and they arrived shortly after.


    When they arrived at the Whalen family''s entrance, Santiago walked up to the gate and nced at


    the password lock. Then, he raised his hand and pressed a string of numbers to unlock the door. He


    pushed the door open and led Raeleigh into the house.


    Raeleigh and Cynthia followed behind and soon arrived at Zorion''s living room.


    As soon as they entered the door, they saw the servant running upstairs hurriedly to inform Zorion.


    Deanna was very surprised to see them in her house.


    "Raeleigh..." When Deanna saw Raeleigh, she immediately rushed over to her excitedly.


    On the other hand, Santiago and Cynthia appeared indifferent. Santiago walked over to the couch


    with Cynthia and sat down. The two of them sat aside like outsiders.


    "Raeleigh, why didn''t you tell me earlier that you areing? I''m bored out of my mind. Come, sit


    down." Deanna pulled Raeleigh towards the couch and gestured to her to sit down. Meanwhile, the


    servant came back down from upstairs.


    It was Santiago whom the servants were afraid of.


    After a while, Deanna asked, "Raeleigh, do you want to stay for dinner?"


    "I came to visit your brother. I don''t think I will be staying for dinner," Raeleigh said. Soon after,


    Zorion came down the stairs. He was not surprised to see Raeleigh and Santiago as the servant


    had informed him about the guests'' identities.


    "What brings you here today?" Zorion said as he sat down and nced at Raeleigh. Then, Raeleigh


    took out her bank card and handed it to Zorion.


    Zorion was stunned for a moment before saying, "I have told you that I don’t want the money."


    "No, it''s too much. I would have considered it if it weren''t this much, but the amount is huge. It''s best


    if I repay the money as soon as possible. I am not sure how much I owe you but at the very least, I


    have paid you back. There is seven million dors in my ount. Take it. I''m not sure whether it''s


    enough, but it''s all I have right now. Take it as a favor to me and ept my bank card."


    Zorion was quiet for a moment before he asked, "Are you implying that we''ll write everything off


    between us once I ept the money?"


    She thought for a while and answered, "I don''t mean to write it all off. But at least in terms of money,


    we are all clear. I will always remember the favors that you''ve done for me."


    "Then, take it back. We don''t owe each other money. Not now and not ever. There is only affection


    between us. I hope it will always be like this."


    Raeleigh froze for a moment. Before she could say another word, Santiago sat up and looked at


    Zorion. He said, "She is my brother’s girlfriend. No other man can have feelings for her. You ought


    to know that."


    "Or else, I willy my hands on you."


    Deanna froze for a moment and raised her head to look at her brother. She wondered, "Doesn''t


    Zorion already have Rossie? Does this mean that he still likes Raeleigh?"


    What about Rossie?


    Zorion turned to look at Santiago. "Mind your own business. This is between Raeleigh and me. It


    has nothing to do with anyone else."


    As he was talking, they heard light footstepsing from upstairs. Everyone turned to look up at


    the person who was walking down the stairs. It was none other than Rossie.


    Zorion was slightly surprised to see Rossie at the stairs but he quickly shifted his gaze away from


    her. Rossie, on the other hand, paused on the stairs. When she noticed everyone''s gaze on her,


    she said calmly, "I wanted to head outside. I''m sorry if I have disturbed your conversation."


    Everyone remained quiet.


    "It''s alright, Rosie. I''ll apany you," Deanna said as she stood up. Although Deanna was naive,


    she did not agree with Zorion''s way of doing things. She knew that he must have done it on


    purpose. He took advantage of her just because she had no feelings for him.
