Chapter 1338
It was already dawn by the time Raeleigh finished her work. She stretched her arms and rxed for
a while. When she was about to get up from her seat, she remembered Jepherson, and she then
quickly turned around to have a look. As expected, he was sleeping on a tiny bed in the room.
Her body froze instinctively. She didn''t expect him to vacate the ce and leave the nket for her.
Meanwhile, he used her coat as a nket while he slept.
She got up quietly and cleaned up the ce. Then, she walked away from her seat and headed
towards the window to stretch her body.
A smile blossomed on her face as the sunlight struck her cheeks.
She was facing towards the east, where the sun rose. It seemed that this room was the ce to see
the sun at its earliest in the morning.
She basked in the first rays of sunshine, enjoying the amazing feeling. At that moment, everything
felt wonderful to her.
After standing there for a while, she went back to check on Jepherson and stared at him until he
woke up.
He smiled when he saw her. "Is it done?"
She nodded, and she then turned around to fetch her finished blueprint. She held up the blueprint
and examined it to confirm that she had not made any mistake that time. Finally, she handed the
blueprint to Jepherson. He got up and walked towards her, and he then paused only inches away
from her before taking away the blueprint from her hands. He took a look at it, and he then became
stunned for a moment. Later, he turned towards her and asked, "So, you are that defensive even
when you''re with me?"
Jepherson''s gaze pierced through Raeleigh''s eyes. If he had guessed correctly, then she had been
thinking about this car design from the very beginning instead of the one she designed earlier.
Either she was trying to probe him, or she had reconsidered her previous design.
He believed that she must have thought that the most important thing was not to forget her original
intentions. That was why she redesigned the car.
Raeleigh did not answer his question. Instead, she fetched her coat and put it on slowly, and she
then turned to look at him. "I know you have the power to open and dominate the market for
whichever car you want." "I have already learnt my lesson from the previous cars, but I still hope
that this will be a fair match."
"I also want to know how confident I am in defeating you."
Raeleigh stood there, her petite face defiant. Jepherson was in a daze. This was the most
courageous thing that he had heard in his whole life, and he would never have believed that she
would utter such words.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "I will let Santiago take charge of the promotion. He will be
promoting both cars at the same time. He is not biased, and I believe you will no longer have doubts
about this. Meanwhile, I have something to do during this period of time. You will follow me to attend
the press conference, and you and I will be together at any other time as well."
"Sure."
"We have known each other for less than a year, yet we have already promoted too many cars.
These will be thest two cars until the first half of next year. Whether you win or lose, I hope you
will rest and take a break from designing cars."
"As creators, creating too many designs will make us fall into obsession. I don''t want you to be
obsessed."
"I won''t." "I still won''t let you. This will be yourst time, and you may only continue designing in the
second half of the next year. You should focus on this project for the next three months. I will give
you a chance to enter thepany, and you may take part in the whole process, but you may not
design anymore. It will benefit you, me, and thepany."
Jepherson turned around and went outside, his face cold and indifferent.
Raeleigh followed behind him with a puzzled look. She could not understand why he would fall out
with her for no reason. She did not do anything wrong. Designing cars was something that they had
agreed upon at the start. How could he go back on his words?
Jepherson waited outside until Raeleigh came out from behind the bookshelf. After closing the door,
he sat on the chair and called the security department to inform them that they would be going
down soon.
Then, he called the nning department and several other departments. Finally, he called Santiago.
But Santiago was asleep when Jepherson called him. It took him a long while before he finally woke
up and picked up the phone.
"Come to thepany. I''m waiting for you here.

We will be having an urgent meeting."
Jepherson put down the phone and nced at Raeleigh. She had a feeling that he was not going to
let her go so easily. But she could not think of other reasons for him to do such a thing if he was not
nning to let her go. She thought he was trying to make her stay, but then it seemed like it was not
the case.
"Let''s have breakfast. He should be here after breakfast."
Jepherson stood up and walked towards the door. Raeleigh could no longer do as she wished. She
had nned to go back, but then, they woulde back to the office again for the meeting anyway.
So, she fell silent again.
Jepherson headed outside directly after walking out of the office. He was about to get in the car
when Raeleigh stopped him.
"Wait a minute."
He stopped and looked back at her. "What''s wrong?"
"The meeting is about to start. We can just find something to eat in the office."
Raeleigh stopped Jepherson because she thought it would be too troublesome to go out to eat.
However, his attitude surprised her.
"What for?"
She froze for a moment, and she then looked around as if she were a thief. Why was he speaking
as if he were an undisciplined child?
She hesitated and said, "Nothing. I just want to have my breakfast in the office."
"Are you the boss or am I?"
His reply rendered her speechless.
"Get in the car."
The corners of Jepherson''s lips curled into a grin as he turned away from her. He looked up at the
clear and cloudless sky and wondered if this disaster had finally passed.
Then, Jepherson bent down and entered the car. Raeleigh thought that he had gone mad. Why did
he look up to the sky?
She raised her head and followed his gaze but noticed that there was nothing in the sky. Then, she
ducked and got into the car.
Jepherson kept driving, and Raeleigh wondered when he would stop. Every time they passed by a
restaurant, her disappointment grew. Finally, the car stopped at the gate of Jepherson''s home,
Richards Manor.
She turned to look at Jepherson as he was about to get out of the car. "What on Earth do you
want?" "I want to eat. I have had a bad stomach these few days, so I want toe home and eat
something nice."
Then, he stepped out of the car, and she followed him with a dissatisfied expression.
Thest ce she wanted to go was Richards Manor, and thest person she wanted to see was
Marissa. However, it seemed like she had no choice but to enter the house then.
Staring at the people in front of her, she stepped into the house in silence. She thought about the
competition between her and Jepherson. She was unsure about everything when the result was still
unknown.
She entered Richards Manor without a word. As soon as they came into the house, Jepherson led
her to Ink Garden.
"I don''t want to go." She stood outside as if she were a stubborn wife. She did not want to act like
this, but she had no choice. After all, Marissa was still hostile towards her even though she no
longer owned this ce.
She was not the kind of person who could stand being bullied. Although she could not do anything
to Marissa because she was too weak, she would not swallow her anger if Marissa were to say
anything unpleasant to her.
So, she refused to go in.
However, Jepherson forcefully dragged her in.
