Chapter 1621


    Jepherson''sughter trailed off. Then, he asked Raeleigh, "Can you please do me a favour?"


    "You want me to go over to the Whalen family?"


    Raeleigh saw through his thoughts. Jepherson had his own ideas on this matter. Although he did


    not say it, it didn''t mean that he wasn''t going to take any action.


    There was obviously a reason why he told her all this.


    "Since you already know what I''m thinking, then I''m sure you know what to do."


    Jepherson''s eyes zed for a moment. Raeleigh turned her face away and stood up to change her


    clothes. Raeleigh then came out and asked, "Is Jared suppose toe with me?"


    "Yes."

    "Alright then. I''ll head over now."


    Raeleigh turned around and went out. Just then, Xanthus entered the door and when he saw


    Raeleigh going out, he immediately stopped her. Raeleigh told her brother, "I''m heading over to the


    Whalen family for a while. Jared will apany me. Don''t worry, nothing''s going to happen.


    Everything had been arranged. Now, everyone wants to know the Richards family''s next move, so


    no one will hurt me."


    "Why do you trust Jepherson so much?"


    "It''s not that I trust him, but I trust myself."


    Raeleigh had faith in herself. She smiled and walked out of Green Jade Garden. Xanthus did not


    stop Raeleigh. He wanted to follow his sister over to the Whalen family, but she told him to stay.


    "I''ll be home soon. If you follow me, there will be no one to look after the brothers. Louisa can''t


    because she''s pregnant. Besides, I don''t really trust anyone else."


    Raeleigh whispered thetter part of her sentence. Xanthus said, "Be careful on the road."


    "I will."


    Raeleigh turned around and continued to walk out of Green Jade Garden. Jared followed closely


    behind her. Currently, there wasn''t a lot going on Raeleigh''s mind. Jared followed her into the car


    and sat beside her.


    Then, the driver started the car and drove towards the Whalen family. The rest of the bodyguards


    sent to protect Raeleigh, too, got into their respective cars and left with her.


    Raeleigh propped her head on one hand and fell asleep in the car.


    The driver was afraid of waking Raeleigh up, so he slowly pulled the car to a stop. However,


    Raeleigh could still feel it when the car came to aplete halt.


    When Raeleigh opened her eyes and looked outside, she realised that she had arrived at the gate


    of the Whalen family.


    The driver got out of the car and opened the door for Raeleigh. However, Raeleigh noticed that


    Jacky''s car was parked inside of the mansion. She thought for a moment before asking the driver to


    close the door.


    "Why don''t we find a shady spot and park under it for awhile? We''ll have to wait until Jacky leaves."


    The driver then drove to a shady spot as per Raeleigh''s orders, while she continued to rest in the


    car. Jacky eventually drove out of the Whalen family mansion at around two o''clock in the afternoon.


    It was only then did Raeleigh finally got down from the car.


    At this time, one of the servants emerged from the mansion. However, he did note out to let her


    in, instead, he came to inform her that there was no one home.


    Raeleigh did not insist on going in nor did she look like she was nning on leaving. After the


    servant returned into the mansion, Raeleigh stood outside and patiently waited for someone to let


    her in.


    Jared stood beside Raeleigh and waited with her. Jared wasn''t like Stuart, who did not like to talk at


    all.


    After a while, he suddenly asked Raeleigh, "Why are you still helping him even though you guys are


    divorced?"


    "He needs me now and I am the only one that can help him. I''m sure he will return the favor in the


    future. Although we have divorced, we are not enemies."


    Raeleigh cast a nce at Jared, she felt that he was vaguely familiar, but she could not put her


    finger on it.


    Jared then asked, "Is this baby Austin''s?"


    Raeleigh did not answer his question. She turned her face away, but Jared continued, "How can


    you do that to him?"


    Raeleigh stood there. It was hard to tell who was the one who let the other down.


    Even they themselves did not know. What right did others have to meddle in their business?


    "I thought you were the kind of woman who was ready to die to preserve one''s chastity. You''ve let


    him down." Jared said with anger in his tone and Raeleigh said hastily, not backing down, "You''ve


    also let me down."


    Jared paused for a moment and then asked, "What do you mean?"


    "It''s because of your negligence that caused Santiago his life. I remember you were suppose to be


    the one to protect Santiago, but look at what happened!"


    "No, that''s because I was by your side, protecting you!"


    Jared''s voice was cold. Raeleigh froze for a moment. Then, she turned to Jared, "What did you


    say?"


    "When you went missing, he did everything he could to find you. He did not even sleep a wink.


    When you came back, he was worried that something would happen to you, so he asked me to


    protect you. Mr. Santiago did not believe that you were found and that''s how he fell into Ste''s trap.


    That''s how he got injured."


    Raeleigh looked at Jared. She did not know what to say.


    Jared turned away and looked at the mansion instead. Raeleigh looked at him for a while before


    turning around to look at the mansion, recalling what had happened before.


    In order to protect Santiago, Jepherson had secretly sent Jared to Santiago''s side. However, he


    was worried that Santiago would find out, so he always put on an act whenever he was around him.


    Unfortunately, this time he was met with an ident.


    Jepherson never thought that Ste would attack Santiago.


    Jepherson had now lost Raeleigh. Not only that, his brother was severely injured. It was a huge


    blow to him, but he neverined.


    Raeleigh stood at the gate of the Whalen family, staring nkly at the ground. She felt that her


    vision was a little blurry. She looked at her hands and realised that even though she had her


    sses on, it still looked blurry.


    Raeleigh took off her sses and looked at her hands again, but it was even more blurry.


    Then, she put her sses back on.


    "What''s wrong?" Jared asked. Raeleigh shook her head and said, "Nothing."


    "Why did you take off your sses?"


    Raeleigh said, "I''m just sweaty."


    Jared did not know what to reply, so he kept quiet. Raeleigh had been standing outside the gate for


    nearly two hours. Meanwhile, Deanna was inside the house, making a fuss. She was worse than


    her babies and started crying as soon as night fell.


    Hannah spent the whole day trying to calm her down but to no avail.


    "What the h*ll do you want? You''re even worse than your sons!" Hannah bellowed. She had never


    been this mad at her daughter before. Ever since she had two new grandsons, she did not really


    care about Deanna anymore.


    Sometime, Hannah could not bear her daughter''s tantrum. She wondered what Jacky was up to?


    He should have taken Deanna with him.


    However, it was because Deanna found out that Raeleigh had been waiting outside their house for


    a long time. Deanna wanted to let Raeleigh into the house and if she couldn''t, she was going to


    throw a tantrum.


    "Raeleigh is pregnant. How can you let a pregnant woman stand outside for hours? What if


    something happens?"


    Hannah said, "She knows what she''s doing. Mind your own business."


    "You guys are mean!"


    Deanna rolled her eyes at her mother and started to throw her tantrum. She protested by going on a


    hunger strike. She told mother that she wasn''t going to eat until Raeleigh was let into the house.


    Hannah looked at her daughter, her head starting to ache. How did she raise such a pain in the


    a*s?


    "If you don''t eat, then your babies would not have any milk to drink."


    "I don''t care. Let them go hungry."


    Deanna''s stance was firm. This time, Hannah had enough. She walked over to her daughter


    intending to p her but stopped herself as Rossie was in the room. She could not believe how


    stubborn her daughter was. If only she was half as obedient as Rossie.


    Raeleigh was finally let into the house at six o''clock in the evening.


    In order to make sure her grandsons had milk to drink tonight, Hannah eventually decided to let


    Raeleigh in. However, Deanna was the only one who went to greet her. Rayan and the others did


    note out.


    Deanna took Raeleigh''s hand and said, "Raeleigh, just pretend that I''m the only one home."


    Raeleigh wore a smile on her face. Actually, this was her n.


    The reason she came over was because of Deanna. She did not mind not seeing the others!


    Being able to see Deanna meant that she hadpleted part of her mission.
