Chapter 1493


    When Raeleigh and Jepherson arrived at the Richards Family, there were two luxury cars parked at


    the door. They did not have local car te numbers, but the cars belonged to the Richards family.


    Jepherson exined to Raeleigh, "This car was designed by our family, so it''s a limited edition


    model. After production, the first few cars were gifted to some families."


    "They had to be someone who had a good rtionship with your family. Otherwise, you wouldn''t be


    so generous, right?"


    Raeleigh had already guessed that the car was given to the Doyle family.


    Jepherson did not answer, indicating a silent admission.


    Raeleigh followed Jepherson in. The butler was shocked when he saw Jepherson. Then, he walked


    to Jepherson and greeted, "Mr. Jepherson."


    Jepherson''s gaze was cold as he asked, "Who''s here?"


    The butler nced at Raeleigh, who was standing next to Jepherson. With his hands tightly


    grasped together, he said hesitantly, "Some members of the Doyle family came to discuss your


    marriage."


    Raeleigh could tell that the butler was uneasy.


    However, she deliberately did not look at him and turned her gaze away.


    It was early in the morning. The mornings in City A were warmer than those in Capital City, so


    Raeleigh did not feel cold. Maybe because of the nts around them, there was a soft, white mist


    and the air was fresh.


    "Is that so? Why did theye to discuss my marriage when I''m not here?" A cold glint shed in


    Jepherson''s eyes. The butler lowered his head slightly and replied, "Thank goodness you came


    back in time. I was just about to call you."


    Raeleigh turned around and nced at the butler. He was still a smooth liar despite his old age.


    Raeleigh could tell that he had not intended to call Jepherson, but he could still lie about it as if it


    was real.

    Jepherson snorted and said, "I''ll go and see the worthless piece of sh*t that came all the way just to


    propose."


    Raeleigh was speechless. Jepherson really did like to show his arrogant side to exert dominance.


    Why did Jepherson have to make the butler ufortable? He had not done anything to displease


    Jepherson. Raeleigh thought to herself.


    Jepherson pulled her after him, cing her luggage on the ground. The butler quickly called


    someone to take the luggage into the house.


    Walking forward, Jepherson asked, "Where are they?"


    The butler followed behind them. "They''re with Madam Marissa in the Ink Garden."


    "Okay."


    Jepherson took Raeleigh''s hand and strode forward. When they arrived at the Ink Garden, the


    servants came out one after another. When they caught sight of Jepherson and his fierce


    expression, they were too scared to approach him.


    "Mr. Jepherson," they greeted politely.


    Jepherson ignored them. His temper was even worse than Santiago''s. Raeleigh realized why


    Santiago was afraid of him. If he behaved like that, who would not be afraid of him?


    After entering, Jepherson changed to a pair of indoor shoes and took Raeleigh inside. The servants


    were so scared that their faces turned pale. They hurried after him.


    "Didn''t the Doyle familye to discuss the marriage? Who''s this? He''s not even from the Doyle


    family."


    Jepherson walked in while holding Raeleigh''s hand. As soon as they entered, the living room fell


    silent.


    Raeleigh looked around and saw about eight people sitting in the living room. They included Old


    Master Richards, Mrs. Richards, Jenna, and Hansen.


    One of the visitors was Ste''s grandmother, who was dressed expensively from head to toe. The


    other visitors seemed to be either rich or distinguished people. A woman sat next to the olddy.


    The rest, who were all men, were seated to one side.


    When Raeleigh and Jepherson walked in, Geraldine looked a little unhappy, but she did not say


    anything.


    The others also looked at Raeleigh. At that instant, Jenna felt a little embarrassed. Usually, she


    would get up to approach Raeleigh, but now, she did not.


    Raeleigh stood beside Jepherson, observing the situation in the living room. It seemed that the


    Doyle family had something on the Richards family. They were not here to propose a marriage but


    to force it.


    With Jenna''s personality, there must be some reason why even she who doted on Raeleigh did not


    stand up to greet her.


    Although Raeleigh was not sure, she felt that they were not there to discuss the marriage. In actual


    fact, they were there to force the Richards family into agreeing to the marriage.


    "Jepherson, didn''t you break up with her? Why did you bring her here?" Everyone was silent except


    Marissa, who looked face.


    Raeleigh did not refute. Anything she said would be wrong. Thus, it was better to say nothing and


    let Jepherson resolve the matter.


    Jepherson asked, "I came back to tell my family something, but I didn''t expect so many people to be


    here."


    Jepherson turned around and asked Raeleigh, "Where is it?"


    Despondent, Raeleigh asked, "What?"


    "I gave it to you yesterday. Where is it?" Jepherson asked. Raeleigh thought for a moment. Except


    for tens of thousands of something else, he had not given her anything else. The things he gave her


    were all inside her body. How could they be taken out?


    "I''ve kept it," Raeleigh answered.


    Jepherson said, "Take it out."


    Raeleigh was rendered speechless.


    She could not take it out.


    Jepherson then asked, "Where''s our luggage?"


    "Here they are," the housekeeper answered hurriedly. Jepherson turned around and walked over to


    the luggage. He opened it and rummaged around, finally taking out two small, red books. He walked


    over to where Marissa and the others were seated, then bent down and ced the books on the


    table.


    Marissa stared at them, her hands trembling slightly.


    "You two?"


    Jenna''s expression showed that she was relieved. She had been worried about Jepherson because


    everything had happened so quickly. Jenna wanted to tell him, but she did not even have the time.


    Unexpectedly, he was quick to act. She had not seen him for about ten days only, yet he managed


    to get the marriage certificates.


    "We actually got the marriage certificate a long time ago, but we didn''t tell you."


    "No, but before New Year-" Marissa began. Jepherson interrupted her, saying, "We went to get our


    marriage certificate one week after New Year''s Day."


    Marissa was speechless.


    Trevor said, "Raeleigh is not a suitable choice. Furthermore, you''re the heir of the family. Your


    marriage should be decided by your family. We won''t recognize this, so it''s better that you get a


    divorce."


    Jepherson narrowed his eyes. "I have already signed an agreement with Raeleigh. If we divorce, I''ll


    have to divide half of the Richards family''s assets and give it to Raeleigh."


    "What did you say?" Marissa was so angry with Jepherson that she almost fainted. She could not


    believe it.


    Rage surged within Marissa as she pointed at Jepherson and asked, "Do you think of the Richards


    family as a joke?"


    Instead of answering, Jepherson asked, "Why can''t I be in charge of my own marriage?"


    Marissa was so angry that her face turned pale.


    Trevor looked at Raeleigh, "Come here for a moment."


    Trevor got up and went upstairs. Raeleigh looked at Jepherson and said, "I''ll go."


    Raeleigh was not a coward. She decided that it was time to figure out what was going on.


    Thus, Raeleigh followed Trevor upstairs to his study.


    Jepherson looked up the stairs as the study''s door closed, then nced at Hansen. He who was


    sitting silently.


    Jepherson''s gaze swept across the room and fell on Geraldine. With a cold expression, he sat down


    and did not greet her at all.
