Chapter 1443


    "Ten million. Put it into this ount. I want to see the money immediately."


    Raeleigh hung up right after she instructed. However, the attacker still didn''t trust her; he took


    Raeleigh''s phone to check. It was a hidden number, and the caller ID was empty.


    Santiago had also only noticed the number on Raeleigh''s phone was left nk.


    Doubtful, the attacker called again with his phone.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Jepherson answered but remained silent. The attacker asked, "Is this the bank?"


    "I''m the manager; how can I help?"


    The driver was a little surprised when he heard Jepherson''s words. He looked at Jepherson from


    the rearview mirror and dared not even huff when he saw his ice-cold eyes.


    "I have a sum of money that I want to deposit into your bank, but I forgot your banking code."


    "Capital City - Darcy Bank."


    "Thank you. It''s toote today; I''ll go there tomorrow. By the way, is this the bank''s number? This is


    my friend''s phone."


    The attacker said courteously.


    "This is a private number, not the bank''s. If you need it, I can tell you; we have an official service


    line. This number is only for internal and VIPs. May I know who''s on the line?"


    "It''s fine. I''ll go there tomorrow."


    He hung up the phone and looked at Raeleigh. "Call them again; I want to see how they transfer the


    money into my ount."


    With that, she called Jepherson again. He stared at the phone and waited for thirty seconds before


    answering, leading the people around her to wonder if something had gone wrong. However, she


    wasposed the entire time.


    Raeleigh questioned immediately when the phone connected, "What the heck are you doing? Why


    did it take you so long to answer the phone? My friend needs the money to save his life. Do you


    want me to withdraw all my money?"


    Jepherson wore no expression. "I''m doing some inter-transactions. This is a lot of money; the bank


    has to mobilize it first."


    "If so, how many have you mobilized?"


    "Half." While Jepherson was talking, the attacker grabbed Raeleigh and put the phone on speaker


    so that everyone could hear what Jepherson said.


    "First transfer ten million to the ount I''ve told you. The ount is three... the owner is..."


    Raeleigh finished, and Jepherson asked, "Do you not need the rest anymore?"


    "Why are you asking so much? Just do as I say. I''ll send you the other ount numberster.


    Transfer the money in ordance with the order I sent. Five million dors to every ount."


    "First, you said sixty, and now another five. I..."


    "I''m raising funds."


    "We''ll arrange it as soon as possible."


    "Good."


    Raeleigh hung up the phone and looked at them. "Check your phone. I believe you''ll receive a


    notification soon."


    "It seems that you do have some money."


    "We definitely have money; it''s only a matter of figure. Santiago and I are only worth five million.


    How ridiculous."


    Raeleigh wore a scornful look. As the attacker looked at her, his phone beeped, and he turned to


    his phone. The others also went to him. The attacker then turned back to her and said, "I will let you


    go. Give five million to each of my men and make sure we leave unscathed. What happens here


    stays here."


    "No problem, but you have to give me some medicine." Raeleigh turned to look at Santiago, who


    had been looking at her.


    After a while, the man told his subordinates, "Bring them the dressing and medicine."


    "And get your ounts ready."


    With that, someone hurried to get Raeleigh the first aid kit. She then helped Santiago into the car


    and asked, "Are you holding on okay?"


    "Yeah."


    She turned to those men. "Give me the ount numbers; I will send them in first."


    Raeleigh was quick. Without any hesitation, she sent all the details to Jepherson, then got into the


    car, started the engine, and turned the heater on. After that, she took off Santiago''s clothes and


    treated his wound.


    Some of the men looked at Raeleigh andmented, "She''s a rare one, that girl."


    "We don''t have that kind of luck; we aren''t stinking rich. Haven''t you heard that it is all for money?"


    "But still."


    Santiago leaned against a chair and stared at Raeleigh. "You''ve got guts."


    "Does it hurt? Don''t sleep."


    He had lost a lot of blood; the bullet was deep in his shoulder. Raeleigh panted lightly as she looked


    at Santiago''s pale face and said, "I''m going to take the bullet out; bear with it."


    "Okay."


    Raeleigh looked outside, "Give me a knife and a lighter."


    Another batch of money was transferred; they were more convinced that Raeleigh was serious.


    After all, no one would joke with that much money.


    After she got the knife and lighter, she immediately handed Santiago the car ornament. "Bite on it."


    With that, he looked at her unpleasantly. "No."


    Raeleigh rolled her eyes at him and took off her shirt to let him bite on it, but he refused again.


    Raeleigh had no choice but to pat Santiago down, remembering he had a dagger with him.


    Sure enough, she found it.


    Raeleigh took it out, and someone immediately pointed a gun at Raeleigh. However, she wasn''t


    bothered.


    "Bite on the hilt." He finally opened his mouth. Raeleigh said as she used a lighter to sterilize the


    knife, "Unbelievable. You''re still choosy at a time like this."


    But no matter what she said, he just stared at her silently.


    Raeleigh raised her head. "You''re finally quiet."


    If it weren''t for his gagged mouth and his injury, he wouldn''t be so quiet.


    After she sterilized the knife and put down the lighter, she nced at Santiago, looking grim, "Bear


    with it."


    Santiago was still unresponsive as if he wasn''t the one being treated.


    Raeleigh took a deep breath and pressed her hand on his shoulder while the tip of the knife cut


    deep into his shoulder. Santiago closed his eyes slightly as sweat dripped down from his forehead.


    She said, "Do you remember the first time we met?"


    Santiago''s mind was clouded; he felt as if he was in another world, but when he heard Raeleigh''s


    question, he slowly opened his eyes again.


    He looked at her and recalled the first time they met. It was so clear, as though they had just met


    yesterday.


    Raeleigh said, "Would you have fought for my hand if it weren''t for the existing brotherly love in this


    competition?"


    Santiago slowly looked in Raeleigh''s direction. She nudged the bullet with the tip of the knife, and


    the sweat on his forehead dripped furiously. However, she continued, "If your brother didn''t exist,


    can I marry you?"


    He stared at her as the bullet popped out of his wound. With that, she threw the knife away and


    immediately put pressure on his wound with her clean shirt. He let go of the knife he was biting


    onto, moving slowly to hug Raeleigh as he rested his head on her shoulder. Though he was


    breathing heavily, the corners of his lips curled into a smile.
