Chapter 1618


    Raeleigh sat for a while before she got up and helped Jepherson to lie down. Xanthus so happened


    to enter the room at the same time. He did not suspect anything.


    "Although they are just superficial wounds, they can still get infected. So, you have to be careful."


    Xanthus stood on one side, his eyes deep and sharp. This incident reflected thew of the jungle.


    Xanthus realized that the weak were the prey to the strong. A couple of days ago, Jacky attacked


    someone else. Not long after, Jepherson was attacked.


    What Raeleigh said was right. In this world, it was every man for himself.


    Jephersony in bed and said, "I want Raeleigh to stay in my room and take care of me these few


    days. It''s best if she stayed here too. I''m sure you know how stubborn she is. I can''t control her as


    I''m bedridden for now, so I need your help to keep an eye on her."


    Raeleigh froze for a moment. Then she turned her head to look at Jepherson. What did he mean?


    Did he just call her stubborn?


    Raeleigh frowned. Why didn''t he call her a


    scoundrel instead?


    Raeleigh did not say anything. When she saw the serious look on his face, she instantly knew that


    he was worried that something would happen to her at this time.


    So, she kept quiet.


    Xanthus said, "No problem."


    Jepherson continued, "Tell Colston and Louisa that the furthest ce they can go is the Richards


    Group Manor."


    "Alright."


    Jepherson seemed hesitant. "Can you please get Jared for me?"


    Jepherson asked Raeleigh. She silently went to open the door and informed Jared, who was


    standing outside. "Mr. Jepherson is looking for you."


    Jared entered the room and walked to the foot of the bed.


    Jepherson instructed, "I want you to block all exits leading out of Capital City. Then I want you to


    release a statement on behalf of the Richards family saying that I am seriously injured."

    Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. Jepherson closed his eyes and continued, "Can you also contact


    Jacky for me and inform him to block all exits leading out of Waverly Vige? Tell him to make sure


    not even a single fly can leave the vige."


    "Do you..." Jared was somewhat absent-minded.


    "After that, I want you to contact the Moore family officials and tell them that in theing election,


    we will be voting for Jacky."


    Raeleigh lowered her eyes. She wondered whether this was his n to make the Moore family lose


    control in Capital City?


    Jared nodded his head before he turned and walked out. After he left, Jepherson said, "Raeleigh,


    can you please go over to the Ink Garden and inform my dad about what happened?"


    Raeleigh raised her head and looked at Jepherson. "You want me to go?"


    "Yes, if someone else went, I''m not sure how my mother will take it. You have to convince her that


    this is just an act. Tell her that I''m not injured. However, during this period, she has to pretend to be


    sad. Just make sure you convince her to stay put and note over to see me."


    Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Jepherson. She knew that she would be able to convince Jenna that


    Jepherson was just putting on an act. But she wasn''t sure whether she could stop her froming


    to see him.


    "Alright, I know what to do."


    Raeleigh briefly nced over at Xanthos before making her way to the Ink Garden. Xanthos wanted


    to follow bot as soon as he reached the door, Raeleigh torned aroond and said, "Xanthos, stay here.


    I will be back soon. Jenna and Hansen will be sospicioos if yoo came along."


    Xanthos did not know what to say. Sometimes, he felt that his sister was so intimidating that he was


    lost for words.


    He was very confosed.


    "Be carefol."


    "We''re in the Richards Groop Manor. No one is allowed to enter this ce withoot permission."


    Raeleigh torned aroond and walked towards the Ink Garden.


    Raeleigh spotted Hansen as soon as she arrived at the Ink Garden. She immediately told him what


    happened, only then did Jenna find oot that Jepherson was faking his injory.


    "So, Jerry is not actoally injored?"


    "No, he''s not. He''s jost faking it."


    Raeleigh had an innocent face and woold never lie to anyone. Even if Raeleigh was lying, Jenna


    woold still believe her.


    Jenna cast a nce at her hosband. "Hansen..."


    "You''ll have to pretend to be upset tomorrow. Do not let anyone see through you."


    Hansen sat on one side as he tried to give Raeleigh a signal with his eyes. Raeleigh immediately


    knew that he wanted an update on Jepherson''s current condition.


    Raeleigh said, "Although Jepherson is not seriously injured, he does have some cuts on his body.


    He didn''t want me to tell you guys because he did not want you two to worry."


    "My brother already examined him. At most, he will have a scar."


    Hansen smiled and said, "Send someone to get him nutrient- dense foods then ask the chefs to


    prepare it for him."


    "I''ll keep it in mind."


    Raeleigh''s eyes met with Hansen''s. They both had mixed feelings.


    Raeleigh admired Hansen''s shrewdness while Hansen admired Raeleigh''s intelligence.


    "Jerry is injured?" Jenna asked worriedly when she heard that Jepherson had cuts on his body. She


    would be upset if he even lost a strand of hair! She immediately stood up, wanting to visit


    Jepherson.


    "Jenna, please do not make any trouble. I trust he knows what he''s doing. What happens if people


    saw through his act? There had to be a reason why he was ambushed. Have you ever seen a kid


    fight without getting injured? The world is like this. This is amon thing. Can you please calm


    down?"


    There was a hint of deterrence in Hansen''s tone even though what he said was reasonable. Jenna


    thought about it and eventually dismissed the idea of visiting Jepherson.


    Raeleigh said at that time, "I have to go back now."


    "Raeleigh, are you sure that Jerry is alright?"


    Raeleigh nodded. "Yes, he''s fine. He just has a little cut on his arm. I heard that he identally


    scratched himself on something when he got off the car."


    "My brother disinfected the wound and bandaged it up."


    Raeleigh used her fingers to show them how big the cut was. Jenna asked, "He scratched himself?"


    "Yes."


    "He wasn''t attacked?"


    "He was but his injury wasn''t from the attack."


    Hansen was speechless at the reason Raeleigh gave.


    Jenna was a little surprised. She thought that she had misunderstood.


    Raeleigh turned around and left the room. Jenna


    looked at her husband, "Raeleigh should have exined clearly. She scared me to death!"


    Hansen looked up at Jenna and said, "You can''t trust her wordspletely. Maybe she''s lying to


    us."


    "I don''t think Raeleigh will lie to us."


    Jenna trusted Raeleigh. Hansen sat aside and snorted, "Women are the best liars. Don''t look down


    on the girl. She has experienced so many things. Who knows what she''s hiding behind those


    sses she''s wearing?"


    "That''s just your suspicion."


    Jenna was a little tired. All her anxiety made her tired.


    Just as Jenna was about to rest, Hansen said, "Raeleigh has a heart of stone, especially after what


    happened to Santiago. I''m sure she''s capable of doing anything. Don''t regard Raeleigh as a rabbit.


    She is no longer as innocent as a rabbit."


    Jenna turned around and looked at her husband. "Then what is she? A wolf?"


    Jenna was obviously being sarcastic.


    Hansenughed. "Wolves live in packs. She doesn''t." "Then what is she?"


    "She''s a leopard."


    Hansen stared calmly at the door. "If Jepherson fails to keep her, that will be the Richards family''s


    greatest loss."


    "Stop racking your brains. This is love, not a game." Jenna hated people who stink of money.


    Hansen, who was always cooking up schemes for the sake of the Richards family future, often paid


    the price with his sons'' happiness.


    She already knew that Capital City was not suitable for them. She wanted to leave but he did not


    agree.


    Now their sons were injured. Her mother-inw and father-inw had to leave Capital City as well.


    Jenna was human, how could he not care about her well-being?


    Hansen stood up and looked at Jenna''s back. He hugged Jenna from behind. "No matter how bad


    this ce is, there are still a lot of memories here. Besides, it is impossible to escape unscathed on


    this earth."


    Jenna shivered slightly and looked over her shoulder at her husband.


    Hansen smiled. "We''ve lost so many things, I''m not willing to lose anymore!"
