Chapter 1413
Raeleigh handed back his phone and turned away from him, not wanting to see him.
Jepherson then said, "This is your one chance to see the pictures that Ste had sent to your
phone. Your phone is currently with Santiago. I''ve already instructed him create a malware. By this
evening, all the data in everyone else''s phone will be erased, except for this phone."
Although Raeleigh was currently having headache which was apanied by dizziness, but in the
end, she caved in, turned around and took the phone from his hands.
Raeleigh unlocked the phone and went through the pictures. When she first saw the pictures, her
head started to pound, but eventually the pain eased up. After all, Jepherson was fully dressed in
the pictures and was fast asleep.
It was Ste who had her arms around him.
Raeleigh doubt that the photos would leak out. Furthermore, it was unlikely that Ste had asked
someone to take the pictures for her.
Putting down the phone, Raeleigh felt disgust at the pit of her stomach.
She couldn''t look at Jepherson. Even though it was not his fault, he should not have gone to look for
Ste in the first ce.
What were they doing together? Raeleigh doubt that Ste would have sent someone to kidnap him
if he had refused to meet up with her.
"Is there anything you need to tell me?"

Raeleigh asked, but Jepherson only said, "No."
Raeleigh froze for a moment then bit her lips. The way he was acting proved that nothing really
transpired between him and Ste. However, did he really have nothing else to say?
Raeleigh felt a flicker of irritation, but did not turn away from him; instead, she chose to give him her
brand of silent treatment. The result was, she spent the entire day in bed, not eating anything.
"I think it''s best if you leave. I will call you if there''s anything."
Xanthus could not bear to watch his sister go an entire day without eating. However, judging by
Raeleigh''s actions, it seemed like she was not nning to get out of bed as long as Jepherson was
still around.
"All right, then. Make sure you call me in case of anything."
However, Raeleigh made no move to get out of bed when she heard that Jepherson was leaving.
"He should have left long ago! I''m about to starve to death!" Raeleigh scolded inwardly.
It was only after Jepherson had left that Raeleigh finally sprung up from her bed. After seeing
Jepherson off, Xanthus went up to Raeleigh''s room and asked, "Aren''t you hungry?"
"I am, but what can I do? He was here."
Raeleigh''s mind was in a mess. She did not know how to feel about the situation.
"I''ve already made some food for you. Why don''t you head back to bed? I''ll bring it up for you."
Xanthus turned around and went downstairs. Not long after, he came back with some food for
Raeleigh. After emerging from the bathroom, Raeleigh sat across from Xanthus and began eating.
At first, Raeleigh did not speak, then she took the initiative to ask Xanthus, "What do you want to
know?"
Xanthus chewed on his food. "What would you like to tell me?"
Their eyes searched each other''s faces for a while. Raeleigh thought for a moment before lowering
her head.
"He went to meet with Ste yesterday. She somehow got hold of his phone and started taking
pictures of them in bed together while he was
sleeping."
Raeleigh paused for a while, her appetite dampened.
"How can you say for sure that he did not cheat on you?"
Xanthus immediately rained on her parade. Raeleigh looked up at her brother and said, "I trust him.
I know he will never cheat on me."
"If you trust him, howe you have no appetite?" "What has that got to do with it? I mean, he''s
mine, but I found out that he''s with another woman. There is no smoke without fire. If he hadn''t sent
mixed signals, Ste wouldn''t have had a chance." In fact, she felt like such a joke as she knew
exactly what had happened. Before, it had never urred to her how she understood him like the
back of her hand.
Raeleigh stared silently at the food on the table. By then, Xanthus had already finished eating. He
looked at his sister and said, "I''m sure you know what Ste''s ulterior motives are. It''s clear that she
wanted to cause a rift between you and Jepherson, yet you let this bother you. Don''t you feel that
the problem stems from you? You are contradicting yourself."
"I do feel it."
Raeleigh gave him a bitter look. She was really unhappy this time.
Ste was such a scheming woman.
Why did she want her to leave Jepherson?
There was no way in hell she was going to let Ste take her ce.
Raeleigh was not a fool.
However, Raeleigh was sure that if anyone was in the same position as her, they would definitely be
as upset as her. At the thought of Ste and Jepherson in bed together...
She started simmering with anger.
How could there be such a shameless woman in this world!
The more Raeleigh thought, the more the rage got to her head. She pushed aside her food and
went back to bed.
"I don''t think it''s a good idea to go to sleep with anger. Don''t say that I did not remind you."
Xanthus stood up, warning Raeleigh while collecting the dishes. Raeleigh did not say anything as
fury twisted inside of her.
In fact, Jepherson could have chosen not to show her the pictures, but he deliberately took them out
for her to see anyways. What did he mean?
Her anger was culminating at the thought. When Xanthus came back to the room, he found her
clenching her quilt. As a result, Xanthus decided to give Raeleigh a shot.
Xanthus did not answer when Raeleigh''s questioned what was the injection for. Instead, he told her
to take a good rest and curb her mind from overthinking.
A few minutester, Raeleigh finally fell asleep.
Only then Xanthus breathed a sigh of relief.
Coming out from Raeleigh''s room, he went downstairs to find Jepherson still sitting in the living
room. He said, "Since you knew it was a trap, why did you still walk into it? Not only that, you chose
to let Raeleigh know. She may be an understanding person, yes, but that doesn''t mean that she
would not be bothered by it."
"I don''t want to have any misunderstanding between us. Even if she found out from someone else
and misunderstands me, I would rather be the one to tell her."
At this time, Jepherson hadn''t eaten anything yet.
Seeing Xanthuse down, Jepherson rose, walked towards the kitchen and started making
himself something to eat.
Xanthus followed him into the kitchen. The two men were busy in the kitchen.
Xanthus was washing the dishes while Jepherson made some noodles for himself.
Xanthus then went back into the living room to watch TV. A couple minutester, Jepherson
emerged from the kitchen with his bowl of noodles and joined him. Just as Jepherson was about to
eat, Santiago entered the house. He had no idea where his brother got the key from. Santiago
seemed to be acting like as if this was his house,ing and going as he pleased.
Xanthus looked up at Santiago and felt a little helpless. He did not know what he had done in his
past life that warranted such treatment from these brothers.
"Have you eaten?" Santiago asked Jepherson when he entered the door. Jepherson took a bite of
his noodles and said, "I left a bowl for you."
Santiago took off his coat and hung it up before heading into the kitchen. A few secondster, he
came out with a bowl of noodles.
Santiago took a seat right next to his brother and asked, "Where''s your phone?"
Jepherson passed his phone to Santiago, after which he briefly fiddled with it and a few seconds
later, the screen turned ck.
Jepherson looked at Santiago, slightly shocked. "Why is my screen ck?"
"Yours is the only one left. I have no choice."
Santiago fed the phone to the trash can without hesitation.
Xanthus was lost in thought and eventually broke into a smile. Sometimes, he found these two
brothers quite interesting.
