Chapter 1227


    "She doesn''t owe you anything. If your love can''t make her happy, then I think it''s best to let go as


    soon as you can. If losing your temper can save everything, then war can solve all the problems in


    the world, and doctors won''t need to save the dead or heal the wounded."


    "The problem lies with you. I''ve already given you plenty of opportunities, but you didn''t appreciate


    them. That''s your own fault."


    "I''ve never interfered with you. My rtionship with Raeleigh was always like brother and sister. It


    was your love that blinded you, and caused you to forget your original intentions."


    Xanthus walked out as he spoke. Jepherson was quiet for a moment and he then followed him.


    After walking through the door, Raeleigh had caught up to him. They walked side by side on the


    school''s paved pathway as they talked to Xanthus. Xanthus''s hand stroked Raeleigh''s hair. They


    both looked happier than they''ve ever been.


    "Are you going back to your country?" Raeleigh didn''t know about Xanthus''s n until she had left


    the school. Xanthus got into the car and closed the door. He then fastened his seat belt and


    prepared to drive away. When he heard Raeleigh ask him this, he stopped and gripped the steering


    wheel. "Since you''ve already decided to, now is the best time to head back. You can spend your


    vacation abroad and also visit your parents. That''s what Grandma wants. Let''s head back."


    Raeleigh didn''t answer and only sat in silence.


    Grandma wanted to go abroad, but what if something happened to her, especially at her age?


    Raeleigh was quiet the whole way home, even after getting out of the car. Novalie was sitting at


    home waiting for them. Xanthus had already called her. Since he was leaving, he ought to depart


    earlier so as not to get into trouble.


    Jepherson needed to calm down. It would be good for him toe backter.


    Raeleigh walked in from the front door. Novalie had already packed her things. She looked at her


    luggage on the ground and on the couch. Her grandmother didn''t have much luggage to begin with.


    She barely had two full boxes and they were mostly filled with Raeleigh''s books.


    "Grandma, are you really going abroad?"


    Raeleigh couldn''t believe her eyes. She had lived with her grandmother for more than ten years.


    That was the first time she had ever seen her grandmother so determined.


    Novalie looked up at her granddaughter. "Since we''ve agreed, of course, we have to. We should


    leave while the weather is good. Xanthus tells me that if we head there now, then it will be daytime


    by the time we get there. That''s good, isn''t it? Otherwise, I wouldn''t be able to turn around."


    Raeleigh was moved by her grandmother''s words.


    "I don''t recall if I''ve renewed your passport. Have I done that? Raeleigh had just thought of this.


    Novalie looked at Xanthus, who was tidying up and said with a smile, "I don''t even know when I got


    my passport. He must have got it done some time ago. Now that he''s here, it''s about time for me to


    use it."


    "Hah!" Raeleigh snorted when she heard what Novalie said. "How are you going to try that out?"


    "I''ve got what I want. I''ve packed up everything between you and Xanthus. He''s a man and always


    takes good care of you. You''re his sister now, so you should learn to take care of him. Take what


    you can and leave what you can''t. Don''t forget, we already have our own belongings where we''re


    going."


    It''s just for a vacation. When your vacation is over, we''lle back again. These things aren''t


    valuable, and thieves won''t bother with them."


    "Since you''ve already thought about it, what else can I say?" Raeleigh stood up and was about to


    help Xanthus. Before he opened the door and walked out, she looked up and told Raeleigh, "You


    are the chief automobile designer for the Richards Group. Since you want to resign, you only need


    to give them a letter. But Jepherson is your immediate superior. He won''t approve of it. You need to


    find someone reliable and get them to take the me..."


    Xanthus paused to look at Raeleigh''s face.


    Raeleigh had joined thepany not too long ago. It would be very difficult for her to request for


    some time off unless Jepherson favored her.


    It seemed difficult to find someone to take the me.


    Xanthus took out his phone and began going through his contacts. Raeleigh thought of Lamarre.


    "I''ve asked my mentor. He is very qualified. He is the only one who can make Jepherson do


    something in thepany."


    Raeleigh had already thought about this and nned ahead.


    "Why don''t you give it a try? If you can''t manage, then I''ll find someone to take care of it. That


    shouldn''t be a problem."


    Xanthus said this with ease, Raeleigh was quite surprised. The Richards Group''s business sector


    was very well-known throughout Capital City. But if Xanthus only needed to say something to find


    someone to run it, then his ability was quite impressive.


    "I know." Raeleigh turned around and called Lamarre. He picked up Raeleigh''s call shortly. She


    spent half the day talking to Lamarre about the matter. Novalie was a little anxious, so was Lamarre,


    who naturally was, when he was personally asked to do this task.


    Lamarre was a man of good conduct. He had never been sloppy in his life. He had also taken in a


    female apprentice but spoke rather awkwardly with her.


    "You''ve dragged me along on this matter long enough now. I have something to attend to. I''ve


    already seen your work. If I had known you were so inefficient, then I wouldn''t have epted you."


    Lamarre was very unhappy and Raeleigh stayed silent. Lamarre knew how she behaved and he


    then cursed at her. "Stupid girl!"


    Raeleigh kept silent, but Lamarre was convinced.


    "Little brat! "


    "Hah!" Raeleigh couldn''t helpughing. Novalie sighed. This child was clearly smart, but at the


    same time, was so very stupid. It was such a rarity.


    This was so stupid!

    Hearing Raeleigh''sugh, Lamarre said, "Girl, tell me. I know what''s going on between you and that


    b*stard."


    Raeleigh was quiet for a moment. "You will get involved."


    "There''s bound to be trouble. However, it all depends on their priorities. That b*stard appears to be


    very afraid of me. In fact, he''s never been afraid of anyone. If he truly was afraid of me, then he


    wouldn''t have given that to me. Actually, I''m not that powerful either. I am just a paper tiger. If the


    Richards Group didn''t respect me for my abilities, then they definitely wouldn''t have given me so


    much leeway."


    "I also feel that we will get you into trouble this time." Raeleigh still thought that this was quite


    inappropriate.


    "To tell you the truth, I''m already very old. Even if I don''t get him into trouble, I can''t do anything


    myself. I still have some capabilities of my own. At least I won''t die of hunger.


    But I have to prepare. No matter howrge of a mess it is, I have to prepare something for him


    later."


    Raeleigh thought for a moment. "We''ve broken up, but I want to go abroad and calm down. I am


    going to ask for some leave. Otherwise, I''d feel ufortable when he sees me every day and he''d


    feel ufortable too. I can''t face him. I want to be calm." "Oh... I see." Lamarre was an


    experienced man himself. Although he was single, he had experienced it before.
