Raeleigh stayed in A city for two days. After the dust settled, she went back with Jepherson.


    When they arrived at Richards Group, Jepherson got out of the car and brought Raeleigh inside. It wasn’t until she had gone inside that she found out Ste had moved in.


    Raeleigh couldn’t help but be impressed. Despite all that had happened,Ste had still moved in.


    It seemed that Raeleigh had some difficult times ahead.


    Thinking of Ste, Raeleigh recalled what had happened to Xanthus.Drug poisoning was no small matter. She turned around and went inside, leaving Jepherson behind.


    She didn’t rest after entering the room even though she did sayshe was tired and sleepy. After all, she had been busy over the past couple of days.


    But her drowsiness faded at the thought of living under the same roof as Ste.


    She packed her belongings,took her suitcase and got ready to leave.


    When she reached the door, Jepherson happened to arrive at the door too. One of them was standing inside, and the other outside.


    Jepherson was amused. “What are you doing?Rebelling?”


    Raeleigh was unfazed. She looked up and stared at him. “Although I married you, it doesn’t mean that I have to always listen to you.”


    “Letting Ste stay in Richards Group is your grandmother’s idea, not mine. I won’t fight with people living under the same roof. I’m not that type of person.”


    “I’ll take this opportunity to be with my family. I’m going back to Waverly Vige. You handle your own affairs. Also, yourpany project ising to an end. You’ve earned a lot of money through the two cars at the end ofst year.”


    “I’ll design a car for you every season,butI have my university studies. I hope you won’t stop me.”


    “Although we’re married, I should have some freedom of my own.”


    “I won’t live with the person who hurt my brother.”


    Raeleigh was about to leave with her luggage when Jepherson held her arm. “Raeleigh, I’ll be all alone after you leave. Won’t you worry about me?”


    “Will you?” Raeleigh looked at him with a hurt expression. To her, Ste was someone who she wished had never existed. However, he was always lenient with her and let her off the hook.


    Raeleigh could restrain herself from killing, but she couldn’t bring herself not to bear a grudge.


    She had already told Jepherson what kind of woman Ste was a long time ago. She was disappointed with the way he handled the issue.


    She thought that Ste would leave this time round.Even though they hadn’t said anything about it, Raeleigh had thought that that was what would happen.


    To her dismay, she hade back just to find that Ste was here.She was at a loss for words.


    Jepherson was too selfish. He was so selfishthat she no longer wanted to argue with him.


    When he dealt with Flynt, he had been so ruthless that thetter’s entire arm was gone. But when it came to Ste, what had he done instead?


    Was it just because Flynt was pursuing her?


    …


    Raeleigh pushed his arm away. “I’ll go back first. Don’t you have things to handle at thepany? Don’t go back with me. I want to be alone. Besides, Scarlette needs someone to help her, so I’ll go.”


    Then, Raeleigh walked away. She pulled her suitcase with her as she walked towards the entrance of the Richards Group.


    Jepherson turned to look in Raeleigh’s direction. He stared at her until her silhouette disappeared.


    Just as Raeleigh had walked to the entrance of Richards Group, Ste showed up. Ste smiled when she bumped into Raeleigh. “You’re leaving as soon as I get here?”


    Raeleigh stared at Ste silently. What could she say to someone like her?


    Ste’s smile stretched even longer upon Raeleigh’s silence.


    “I don’t like you. Obviously, you’re an inborn b*tch, yet you pretend to be pitiful and helpless. Who do you intend to deceive? Those men? You’ve got so many around you. I bet you must have been busy satisfying their fleshly desires?”


    “Raeleigh, our rivalry has just begun. I will make you beg me to let you go.”


    Raeleigh then dragged her suitcase and walked past Ste without saying another word.


    When Raeleigh was about to get into the car, Ste turned around and gave a warning. “You best take care out there.Don’t get into an ident and have your face disfigured.”Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    Raeleigh got into the car and red at Ste silently while the chauffeur closed the door and got into the car. Along the way, they were tailed and chased by an unknown car all the way to the intersection. They nearly got into an ident.


    Fortunately, the chauffeur was adept at driving, and Raeleigh was kept safe and sound.


    The chauffeur got down and quickly took a look at Raeleigh. “My apologies,Miss Raeleigh.”


    “It’s not your fault.Bring my suitcase down and don’ttell Jepherson about this.”


    The chauffeur hesitated.“Why?”


    “It’s no use telling him.”


    Raeleigh took her luggage and walked into Waverly Vige.


    She thought this might be a safer ce.


    The chauffeur stood behind her for a moment before he turned and left.


    Not long after Raeleigh had gone in, she received a call from Jepherson. She hesitated before picking up.


    “I’ve arrived.”


    “Do you not want to answer my call?” Jepherson could tell that she sounded distant.


    He didn’t know what happened.She was just fine a while ago, but was suddenly upset as soon as he called her.


    How unreasonable.


    “Hmm.”


    Jepherson was silent.“I will deal with what happened with Ste as soon as possible. Give me some time.”


    “Sure!”


    Raeleigh had nothing else to say. He wouldn’t believe it even if she told him.


    Jepherson didn’t want to hang up, but Raeleigh was obviously in a bitter mood. She said, “The signal is unstable, I’m hanging up.”


    Once the call ended, Jepherson put his phone away and went outside.Ste came just as he was taking his leave.


    “s, she still left,” Ste mused.


    Jepherson put his phone away. “So?”


    “So, it proves that she doesn’t love you that much.”


    “She doesn’t need to love me. Loving her is enough for me.” Jepherson wasn’t in the most joyous of moods at the moment. His patience for Ste was growing rather thin.


    “Send Miss Doyle back. Remember, no one is allowed to enter this yard except for Raeleigh.”


    Jepherson turned and went back to the room, leaving Ste with a smile on her face as she sat in herwheelchair.


    “Miss Ste.” The servant was in a difficult spot butSte didn’t bother.She simply kept her unwavering smile as she turned to leave.


    …


    Raeleigh hung up and pulled her suitcase along as she looked at thenterns in the vige. She didn’t expect to see so many of them; they practically lit up the entire street.


    Raeleigh identally bumped into someone. When she looked up, she realized it was Santiago.


    “You’re back?”


    There was a coldness in his voice, as though he had a feud with her. Raeleigh stared nkly at Santiago without answering.


    It might be because he was in a bad mood, or due to the conflict that they had earlier, or even the fact that Jepherson had asked Santiago to keep an eye on her each time anything happened.


    Raeleigh pulled her suitcase and sidestepped Santiago, continuing to walk forward.


    Santiago grabbed her suitcase, but she didn’t let it go, “I can do it myself.”


    “Let me.” Santiago took a step forward. Raeleigh stared at him without saying a word. Under her prating gaze, he slowly released his grip.She turned around, pulled her luggage with her andwalked through the vige as she watched the changes in Waverly Vige and the well-decorated weddingnterns.


    At least others had a wedding when they got married. She hadn’t gotten anything when she got married, not even a single stalk of flower.
