Chapter 1466


    "That still won''t do. We can''t afford to be caught unprepared. From now on, Santiago must stay by


    our side, and you need to learn self-defense. I will prepare some medicine and knives for you."


    Xanthus had already made up his mind; they couldn''t fight an unprepared battle.


    Raeleigh looked at Xanthus, dumbfounded. "Xanthus..."


    Before Xanthus could speak, Raeleigh rushed to say, "It''s illegal to have knives on you. I can''t


    possibly take a knife with me."


    "Then it''s legal for them to hurt you?" Xanthus asked, but Raeleigh hesitated. "We''re not the same


    as them."


    "We''re not that different. If theyy their hands on us, what we have to do is break them."


    Xanthus had made up his mind; no one could change it. They did not stir up the trouble, but it


    doesn''t mean others could trample on them.


    It was a world of dark and light. If they insisted on being a pacifist, they would be the ones to die in


    the end.


    Raeleigh knew Xanthus was serious this time, but she couldn''t agree to his methods.


    "Santiago can''t stay with us all the time; he has things he has to do. What''s more, his arm still hasn''t


    healed. Even if he stays with us, he can''t do anything." Raeleigh argued.


    With that, Xanthus retorted, "It''ll do as long as Jacky''s around. Also, this is not his first rodeo; it''s


    already an everyday thing for him to be with us."


    Seeing Xanthus wasn''t giving in, Raeleigh could only give up.


    Xanthus got up and went downstairs. He told Santiago to stay with them for the next half a month.


    "Okay, I don''t mind. It doesn''t matter where I''m at as long as there''s food and drink." Santiago


    thought it was better that way; it meant that he didn''t have to go anywhere else.


    Standing aside, although Raeleigh was in a dilemma, she thought the four of them together would


    be safer than just her and her brother. Moreover, there were people protecting Santiago; if


    something did happen, they wouldn''t sit idly.


    When the matter was settled, she decided to prepare dinner. She had just entered the kitchen when


    she received a call from Jepherson.


    He wanted her to tell everyone that Scarlette was treating them to a meal.


    Finding it odd, she asked, "Why would she want to treat us to a meal?"


    He didn''t answer. He hadn''t had a proper meal for a whole day; couldn''t they at least eat together?


    Then, the phone was hung up. Raeleigh stared at it strangely and intended to call him again but


    didn''t at the thought that she might make Jepherson misunderstand something.


    Thus, she called Scarlette. She was sitting in Jepherson''s car. On seeing that it was Raeleigh''s


    number, she nced at him and thought, "What bad luck!"


    "Hello!" Scarlette immediately answered.


    "Scarlette, it''s Raeleigh."


    Raeleigh said on the other side, and she replied right away, "I know it is you. Are you with Mr.


    Jepherson?"


    C''mon, she was the one with him, alright?!


    Raeleigh thought for a moment. "No. Is there anything important?"


    "I did talk to him about inviting you guys over for dinner. Bring Santiago and Dr. Osteen with you,


    and that Jacky. I want to discuss some marriage matters. Isn''t it a matter of liveliness and joy?"


    Raeleigh froze for a moment. "Well..." "Didn''t Mr. Jepherson call?" Scarlette asked, but


    Raeleigh didn''t answer.


    "It may be that he has been too busy to remember. I''ll call him again." With that, Scarlette wanted to


    hang up, but Raeleigh immediately said, "No, I''ll call him. The guys happen to be with me."


    "Well, alright then. I''m going to prepare the food. Come earlier and help me, will you?"


    On seeing that Jepherson looked lifeless when he couldn''t see Raeleigh, Scarlette felt nervous. She


    knew something must''ve happened. It had already been half a month since shest saw Raeleigh;


    she wondered what Raeleigh had been doing and why she hadn''t visited.


    After hanging up the phone, Raeleigh looked at it before walking out. She found it weird that


    Scarlette thought about treating them to a meal at this hour.


    She walked out of the kitchen and looked at the guys who were all waiting for dinner. "Scarlette


    called and invited us over for dinner, so we''re not eating here."


    Santiago nced at Xanthus. "Great, save us the trouble."


    Santiago was the first to get up and put on his coat, and the rest followed suit.


    When they arrived at Scarlette''s ce, Jepherson hadn''t arrived. Raeleigh even purposely went in


    and had a look.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Seeing someone had arrived, Scarlette came out in her wheelchair and asked Raeleigh


    immediately, "Where''s Mr. Jepherson? Didn''t hee with you?"


    "He has something to do. He should be here soon." Raeleigh said.


    Santiago took a look at Raeleigh. "Did you call him?"


    However, Raeleigh didn''t answer. Xanthus looked at Santiago with displeasure, but Santiago


    ignored him and urged others to go inside.


    "I''ll wait for him outside. I happen to have something to talk to him about." Santiago pointed with his


    chin, indicating for everyone to enter.


    After Raeleigh and the others entered, Santiago stood outside. Jacky came back out and went to


    his side. "What is it?"


    "Someone''s following us."


    "My men or Xanthus''s?"


    Jacky already knew the people following weren''t just their''s.


    Santiago shook his head. "Neither."


    "Who is it then?"


    Just as Jacky was speaking, Jepherson''s car pulled over.


    The driver got out of the car to open the door. When Jepherson came out of the car, he saw


    Santiago looking around. He turned to the driver and said, "Head back first."


    "Yes, Sir."


    The driver got in the car and drove away. Then, Jepherson waited for Santiago to open the gates.


    As Santiago turned around and looked at his brother, he thought that there must be something fishy


    going on.


    "I''ll open the gateter. Follow me. When I open it, take your knife out and stab my brother."


    Then, Santiago strode toward the gates. Jacky nced at Santiago, not wanting to know what he


    was thinking and if he meant it, only doing as he was told.


    When Santiago reached the gate, he asked Jepherson as he opened it, "I thought you know the


    password?"


    He asked to distract Jepherson.


    "It may have changed."


    Jepherson answered with a devil- may- care attitude, and at that moment, Jacky raised his knife


    and thrust it at Jepherson.


    Jepherson did not move, but the knife fell to the ground with a ng.


    When he looked over, he saw Jacky holding his hand, looking around.


    In a low and unhappy voice, Jepherson said, "What''s wrong with you? Are you asking for a beating


    again?"
