Chapter 1617
Jared found a pair of scissors and quickly cut off Jepherson''s clothes. It was then that Raeleigh
realized there were several cuts on Jepherson''s body.
Even though the cuts weren''t deep, they bled profusely.
Raeleigh stared at the cuts and unconsciously asked, "What happened?"
"Mr. Jepherson was attacked as soon as we stepped out of our office building. We managed to
drive some of them away and even caught some of the attackers. We thought that was it. We did
not think that we would be ambushed again just as we were about to pull up to the house."
Raeleigh understood Jared''s words but did not understand how Jepherson got injured in the
process. Did Ste not learn her lesson? Did she lose all hope in Jepherson?
Raeleigh had not heard any news about Ste in a long time. She did not understand what was
going on.
Unless it was the Doyle family.
Raeleigh knelt down and helped Jared to take off Jepherson''s clothes. Raeleigh held Jepherson in
her arms and asked Jared whether he needed any help to carry Jepherson into bed.
Jared nced towards the bed and wondered where they were supposed to put Jepherson since
Santiago was already on the bed?
Raeleigh did not think about it too much. She stood up and asked Jared to help her carry Jepherson
to the bed.
Raeleigh did not know why Jared trusted her so much, but he did as he was told.
Afterying Jepherson down on the bed, Raeleigh went to the door to anxiously wait for the doctor
to arrive.
A few minutester, Xanthus came back. When he saw Jepherson''s injured body, he hurried over to
take Jepherson''s pulse. Louisa entered the room and immediately turned into doctor mode as well.
By the time the doctor arrived, Xanthus had already given Jepherson an injection as well as cleaned
his wounds. Louisa also briefly gave Jepherson a quick examination before helping Xanthus to
disinfect the wounds.
Raeleigh asked, "Why didn''t you go to the hospital?"

"Mr. Jepherson told us not to. The Richards family is currently under fire. Furthermore, things have
just settled down here in Capital City. If we went to the hospital, these things will be made public
and the Richards family will be attacked again. That was why Mr. Jepherson told us not to go to the
hospital. He was adamant that we came home."
In fact, Jared wanted to send Jepherson to the hospital. But no matter what he said, Jepherson
refused.
That was why Jared had no choice but to bring him home.
Raeleigh stood aside and did not ask any more questions. Not long after, a servant brought the
doctor to the room. He immediately gave Jepherson another examination before inserting an IV drip
into his veins.
Raeleigh calmly sat on the sofa as she watched the two brothers lying on the bed.
This was their world. They would always take turns to get into trouble, which was what made people
around them tremble in fear.
Raeleigh ced her hands on her belly. That was probably the reason why she did not want her
baby to have anything to do with them.
Soon, everyone left the room. Xanthus went to take a shower. Raeleigh was the only one left in the
room as she sat and watched the brothers.
She knew that the lives of the rich and powerful families wereplicated. She did not realize that
there was an ugly side to human nature. Even if you did not provoke them, they would stille
and find you.
Raeleigh did not know how long she had sat there before she decided to take off her sses. She
looked at her hand but noticed that her vision was a little blurry even though her hand was right in
front of her. She had to focus all her strength on her eyes before she could see clearly.
However, the doctor did advise her not to exert herself too much because it might stimte her
brain tumor.
Raeleigh put her sses on again and got up to pour a ss of water. Just then, Jepherson slowly
opened his eyes. When Raeleigh saw him, she quickly walked towards him and helped him to sit up
in bed. Although his movements were slow, he did not feel any pain. He sat up and leaned against
the headboard.
Raeleigh sat down. "How are you feeling?"
Jepherson''s most serious injury was on his arm. So, he lifted his arm and proved to her that he was
fine.
Raeleigh cast a nce at Jepherson''s arm. "Would you like some water?"
"Sure."
Jepherson fixed his eyes on Raeleigh as she poured him a ss of water.
Raeleigh gently blew on the hot water before handing it to Jepeherson, "Be careful. It''s a little hot."
Jepherson opened his mouth. He couldn''t move his hands at the moment, so he had to rely on
Raeleigh to help him.
Raeleigh ced one hand on his shoulder and held the ss with the other. She carefully brought
the ss towards his mouth.
After taking a sip of water, Jepherson asked Raeleigh, "Why are you still being so nice to me? I
thought you had given up on me?"
The interior of the room was as empty as his words. No one could exin why Jepherson would
ask that.
However, Raeleigh did not hesitate.
"You haven''t given up on me either. You still treat me well." After Raeleigh finished speaking, she
stood up and poured another ss of water. Then, she gently blew on it. It was obvious that
Jepherson did not drink enough.
Raeleigh brought it towards his mouth again and he drank it all.
Then, Raeleigh put down the ss and looked at Jepherson calmly. Although their time together
had passed, their ending was still unwritten.
This was only the beginning, not the end.
For the sake of the child, she could not just die like that.
Raeleigh sat there for a long time...
"It was Flynt."
it was not a question. Rather, it was a statement. Raeleigh had just returned and not long after,
Jepherson was attacked. This was clearly Flynt''s doing.
Raeleigh was sure that it was him when she thought of what Flynt had said to her the day before.
Jepherson was calm andposed, but as soon as he heard Flynt''s name, he had a cold and
murderous look on his face. He leaned against the head of the bed and said, "Flynt is a waste of
space. Such people don''t deserve to live."
"And your point is?"
"Nothing."
Raeleigh froze for a moment and nced at Santiago on the bed. If Santiago was awake, she
wondered what he would do when he saw his brother injured like that?
She knew that Santiago would seek revenge.
He would cut Flynt into pieces.
Then, he would feed Flynt''s remains to the dogs.
However, she knew Jepherson wouldn''t.
Raeleigh asked, "Why?"
"The Moore family is the founding member of Capital City. What Capital City is today is all thanks to
their hard work."
"Although the Moore family in Capital City was not as powerful as before, they still have countless
allies within the city."
"And these people are the public."
"The Richards family used to be under the Moore family. Without them, there would be no Richards
family. If the Richards family wanted to rece that family in Capital City, then we have to retain our
reputation."
"Wealth was like a fleeting cloud. One cannot steal it by force."
"In the end, the Richards family cannot be the one to attack the Moore family."
Raeleigh sat for a while, "What should we do about the Moore family?"
"All in all, the Moore family only has Flynt. With his character, he won''t be able to walk this path for
long."
"The same knife cuts bread and fingers." "The Moore family has lost too much trust in Capital City. If
things do not change, then I wouldn''t even have to lift a finger to destroy them. Flynt would do it all
on his own."
Jepherson''s face was pale, but there was an unprecedented certainty in his gaze. Raeleigh was
silent for a while. She had learned something about Jepherson.
Although he was only twenty- five years old, he was as scheming as an old fox.
She wondered what he would be like in a few years? Perhaps he would forget who he was when
they first met.
