Chapter 1249
"It''s so easy for you to call me. Are you just getting up at this hour?"
"I just got up at three o''clock in the middle of the night. I couldn''t sleep, so I called you. Don''t you
like it?" Santiago replied. Raeleigh began to undress. She drew back the curtains and turned
around. She went to the bathroom and was ready to take a bath.
"Well, do you like it or not? Don''t you have anything to say?" Whenever Raeleigh talked to
Santiago, she was always rude. She regarded him as an outsider.
Santiago began to prattle and speak a bunch of nonsense. She took off her clothes and got into the
bathtub, all the while chatting with Santiago.
"Won''t your phone bill be pretty expensive?" After a while, Santiago asked her this. Raeleigh told
him, "If you think so, then don''t waste your time. I''m going to sleep. Take care of yourself. I''m
hanging up!"
Having said that, Raeleigh hung up the phone, put on her bathrobe, and tidied herself up. Then, she
picked up her phone and went back into her room. When she saw the photo that Santiago had just
sent, she burst outughing.
She went back to bed and had a good night''s rest.
The next morning, Raeleigh went to work. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Jepherson
and Steing out of his car together.
Raeleigh nodded at Jepherson as a form of greeting. Then, she turned around and walked towards
thepany.
"Jepherson, did Raeleigh misunderstand you?"
Once Raeleigh had left, Ste asked Jepherson this. He stared at Raeleigh. After Ste asked him
this, he turned back to look at her.
"Raeleigh isn''t like that."
"But you don''t want to exin it to her. That doesn''t seem right. After all, we are going in and out
together. Don''t you want to exin it to her? I see that Madam Marissa has a deep grudge against
her. She said a lot of things about Raeleigh in front of me. I think the biggest obstacle for you now is
your grandmother."
"I will exin this to Grandma. Let''s go in." He raised his hand and patted Ste on the shoulder,
and he then took her into thepany.
As the two of them walked in, rumors soon spread throughout thepany. Even though they
ignored them, they were still in the know about a lot of things.
In the afternoon, Jepherson called Raeleigh into his office. She stood up and went straight in. Even
though she didn''t want to go in, Jepherson was the boss. There was no reason for her not to.
Raeleigh got up, put on her coat, and went towards the door. As soon as she stepped out, she saw
Ste. Their eyes happened to meet.
Seeing Raeleigh, Ste raised her hand towards her. "Raeleigh, it''s a pleasure to see you."
After saying that, Ste walked away with a smile. Raeleigh watched Ste enter the elevator. She
deliberately slowed down because she didn''t want to be with her there. She felt ufortable
being in the elevator with her.
When the elevator went up, Raeleigh saw the elevator arriving at the top floor. Then, she pressed
the elevator button. When the elevator door opened, she went in and took the elevator to the top
floor.
She walked towards Jepherson''s office and knocked on the door. He asked her toe in.
She pushed the door open and went in. Ste was sitting beside him and looked at Raeleigh with a
smile. "Oh, you''re here?"
Raeleigh moved her lips and had a smile on her face.
She was good with people. After all, she was trained not to have a temper since she was a child.
But Raeleigh couldn''t simply smile in front of Ste for no reason.
Jepherson stopped working when she didn''t respond. He ced his hands together and looked at
her. "I''m about the same age as Ste. In that case, she''s like your sister-inw. You can regard her
as your big sister."
Jepherson exined this with some concern. He was very worried that Raeleigh would
misunderstand him.
It was beneficial to exin this clearly.
Raeleigh looked at him and asked, "Is Mr. Richards talking about something else?"
He froze for a moment and didn''t respond at all. She was notorious for her stubbornness, but he
didn''t expect it to be this bad.
"Let''s have dinner together."
Jepherson looked at the time and Raeleigh shook her head. "I can''t ept your invitation. I''m
sorry."
Raeleigh turned around, walked towards the door, opened it, and stepped out.
Jepherson''s face turned green. What a temper!
Jepherson stood up and walked towards the door, intending to get Raeleigh back. When he
reached the door, Ste cried out to him. Jepherson looked at her as she fainted on the couch.
Raeleigh walked towards the elevator. Just as she entered, she heard Jepherson calling her to hold
the elevator.
She thought that Jepherson wanted to chase after her, so she quickly left.

He held Ste in his arms until the elevator came. He then carried Ste into the elevator and ran
off to take her to the hospital.
Raeleigh heard that Ste had fallen ill when she had gone home and that Jepherson had carried
her out.
People in thepany talked about it non-stop, but Raeleigh ignored it. She neither wanted to care
about it nor did she want to think about it.
Initially, ever since she met Jepherson, her personality changed. Sometimes, she felt that her
character had somehow be distorted.
Now that they had broken up, and there was another person involved then, there was nothing
wrong with that. At the very least, she could go back to her original self.
Raeleigh walked out of thepany and was going to wait for Xanthus. At that time, Flynt walked
towards her with his hands behind his back. Then, he walked towards her and took out a handful of
roses.
"Beautiful, isn''t it?"
Never mind the surprise flowers, Flynt shoved them towards her and asked her if they were
beautiful. She carefully looked at him. She had seen these flowers before, but that was the first time
anyone had given them to her.
"They''re really beautiful!"
"Hold them for me. I''ll be back in a minute." Raeleigh knew what his next move was. Although she
didn''t intend to y along, everyone was watching them. Flynt took out his phone and was about to
make a call. Then, he turned around.
Raeleigh lowered her head, trying to say that she didn''t want them, but Flynt had loosened his grip
and almost dropped the flowers. Raeleigh caught them by reflex.
Then, Flynt went to his car and ced a phone call as he walked. Then, he talked to the person on
the phone. Raeleigh was standing with the bouquet of roses in her hand like a fool. In the end, she
walked over towards Flynt.
When they got to the car, Flynt opened the door, turned around, and went around the front of the
car. When he reached her side, he opened the door to the driver''s seat, bent down, and got in.
Raeleigh stood outside and bent down to look at Flynt. "I''ll put these flowers inside for you. I..."
"I need a favor from you. Someone is dying. I have to go."
After that, Flynt continued with his phone call, and Raeleigh froze. She thought no one would y
such a joke on her in her whole life, so she got into the car without a moment''s hesitation.
Raeleigh got in the car and Flytn put his cell phone down. Then, he started the car and drove off.
Raeleigh called Xanthus right away.
"Xan..."
"I saw the texts. Are you sure?" Raeleigh picked up the phone and Xanthus confirmed things with
her before she could exin. Raeleigh looked at Flynt and said, "Hmm."
"I''ll head back to prepare dinner. Remember toe back early. Be safe."
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Raeleigh began to suspect that she was out of her mind as she had
followed Flynt while she was in a daze. If something did happen, then it would be toote to regret it
at that time. However...
Raeleigh looked at Flynt. He wouldn''t hurt her.
