Quirinaturned away from the dorm and gritted her teeth. The matter would not blow over that easily.


    “Let’s go,”Quirina left the dormitory and brought her minions away.


    Raeleigh went to the door and pushed it open. Zorion passed the baskets to Raeleigh and Scarlette, who set them on the floor. Then, he closed the door casually,closing off the onlookers meandering around outside the door.


    “Take a look and see if anything is missing,” Zorion lowered his head and nced at them. Raeleigh took a rough look at the baskets, saying,“Nothing is missing. Thank you so much for your help.”


    “Raeleigh, aren’t you being too kind? Aren’t you angry that Quirinabullied you like that?”Deannawas furious and she despised Quirina.


    Raeleigh answered, “It’s normal that ssmates would have friction between them. I can’t pick a fight with her because she bullied me. It won’t settle anything.”


    Deanna widened her clear doe eyes, thinking that she had misheard her. She asked, “Raeleigh, why are you so easy-going? You’re a convenient target for bullies.”


    Raeleigh stayed silent. No matter what she did, she was unable to solve the problem. If even Jephersoncould not solve the issue, she could not think of anything else.


    School bullies weremon everywhere, especially in private schools. The powerful and influential made the rules.Raeleighwas a nobody. How could she square up with them?


    Standing opposite Raeleigh, Zorion stared at her quiet and indifferent face and frowned slightly. Raeleigh was not someone who would let things slide that way.


    “Raeleigh, I…” Deanna grabbed the hand which Quirina had stepped on, sending Raeleigh into great pain. She hissed.


    Deanna looked atRaeleigh’sretractinghand and called out, “Zorion,Zorion, look!”


    It had be a habit for Deanna to rely on Zorionif any issue arose, and he hadnever ignored her pleas for help either.


    AsZorionstepped forward towards Raeleigh, he took her hand from Deanna andnoticed that her hand was scraped.


    Raeleigh’s hand was pale and delicate as she was just a student. She did her skincare regrly, so her hand was as tender as a baby’s. Since Quirina had used all her strength to step on Raeleigh’s hand, she had hurt Raeleigh’s hand to a horrible extent.


    The wound on the back of Raeleigh’s handthat wasbleeding horribly.


    Raeleigh was about to withdraw her handas she replied, “I’m fine. I’ll go to the infirmary to deal with itter.”


    Zorionheld onto Raeleigh’s hand and told her, “You’re going tobe a designer in the future. If your hand gets scarred from this wound, you’ll regret this your entire life.”


    “Zorion, what should we do?” Deanna did not give Raeleigh a chance to speak, her eyes wide and frantic. Scarlette was also in a state of panic.


    “Pack your things up. I’ll bring you to the doctor,” Zorion answered as he let go of Raeleigh’s hand. His gaze held a dark glint.


    Deanna immediately agreed and helped pack her belongings.


    “Deanna, request a two-day leave for Raeleigh,” Zorion stopped Deanna, who had begun packing on Raeleigh’s behalf.


    “That’s right. I’ll go and do that,”Deannaresponded and went out. Naturally, Zorion could not let her go alone. Looking at Scarlette, he said, “Scarlette, go with her.”


    Scarlettetook a fleeting look at Raeleigh, then turned around and went out.


    After they had all left, Zorion bent down and rummaged through Raeleigh’s clothes. Then, he took the letter inside from the basket.


    “Consider this as remuneration,” Zorion could not let Deanna find out that the letter was with Raeleigh as he did not want her to be sad.


    At that moment, it came to Raeleigh’s mind thatJepherson had imed that the letter had been taken away by Deanna before.


    “Okay,” Raeleigh said, having no other option. Although it was a gift from Jepherson, the cat was already out of the bag. Moreover,Zorion had proven himself to be a threat.


    Zorion took a look inside Raeleigh’s bedroom. There was nothing else to take with her. He turned around and told Raeleigh, “Let’s head out.”


    Raeleigh’s heart sank.Had she gone to ElktonUniversity to fight, or to study?


    By the time Raeleigh exited the room, her hand was already red and swollen.


    While escorting Raeleigh, Zorion made a call to a driver, instructing him to drive into the schoolpound.Raeleigh walked quickly and caught up to him in no time.Deanna and Scarlette had also returned after requesting a leave for Raeleigh.


    The four of them convened and walked out of the dorm.


    Not long after, Zorion’s car drove into thepound.


    Raeleigh got into the car and left withDeannaandZorion in tow.


    As they looked at the Whalen family’s car, which hade into thepoundspeciallyto pick Raeleigh up, many students made remarks of awe.


    The exclusive Whalen family car stopped outside the school on a daily basis, one that was specially reserved for the Whalen siblings. That day, they had actually driven intoElktonUniversity for Raeleigh’s sake. How astounding that was!


    Quirinastood in a hallwaywith a cruel look in her eyes.She muttered to herself, “Raeleigh, there’s no room for the two of us here. I won’t let things go as you please.”


    Raeleigh was taken to the airport by Zorion. After purchasing the flight tickets, they prepared to board the ne to go abroad.


    Raeleigh tugged at Zorion’s arm, saying, “I can’t go abroad. It’ll take too long.”


    “Is your educationmore importantthan your future?” Zorion stopped and turned around to look at Raeleigh,leaving no more room for objections.Raeleigh loosened her grip and thought over it for a while. In the end, she stayed firm,“Even so, I can’t go abroad with you.”


    “The doctors here can’t help you reconstruct your hand. Do you have any other choice?” Zorion retorted, taking the ne tickets.Deanna tugged at Raeleigh too, and asked,“Raeleigh, don’t you believe in us?”


    “It’s not that. It’s just that I need to take care of my grandmother. I promised her that I would pay her a visit this weekend. If I don’t fulfill my promise,she’ll be worried about me,”Raeleigh exined, also taking Scarlette into consideration.


    “It’s a weekend today. There are still seven days before the next weekend. You will be back in time.” After saying that,Deannatook their passports, ready to board the ne. Raeleigh had no choice but to board the ne along with her.


    To prevent anything from happening to Raeleigh’s handfor the time being, Zorion used his handkerchief to wrap her woundso dust particles would not be able to infect it.


    Scarlettewas sitting in her seat in a state of unease. She had yet to inform Jepherson about the matter and she wondered if Jephersonwould kill her once he found out about it.


    “Mr. Jepherson,” Stuart entered the room hurriedly. Jepherson, who had been reading a book on the sofa,looked up at Stuart as soon as he entered. Jepherson asked, “Why are you in such a panic?”


    Stuart hesitated for a moment and nced atMarissa, who was sitting beside Jepherson.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    “What is it that you don’t want me to know?” Marissa gave Stuart an angry look. Stuart, to her, was just as unlikable as Alvin. They were indeed father and son.


    Stuart hesitated for a moment, then informed them, “The school just called and notified that Quirina stirred up trouble in school. She was bullying her ssmates.Deanna couldn’t turn a blind eye to it and went to stop her. She waspushed down and her hand was scraped badly. She has gone abroad and is ready to undergo reconstruction surgery for her hand.”


    “What?”Marissa’s expression instantly darkened.
