Zorion stood up and said, “Let’s go.” Thenhe turned around and left with Rossie. Raeleigh saw them off before returning to Green Jade Garden. When Raeleigh entered, she looked at Jepherson without saying a word. In the end, it was Jepherson who broke the silence. “If I am unable to make use of my friendship with Jacky, then I will have to make him my enemy. He’s like a fierce tiger charging down the mountain. He can kill people at any time. If I can work shoulder to shoulder with him,it would be best. I am able to tame him, he will bring me good luck.”


    “Waverly Vige is a small world with its own set of rules for survival.”


    “And for someone like Jacky, he’s equivalent to a king there. No one is able to challenge him at the moment.”


    “At the same time, he has alreadyumted a lot of power and is ready to take action.”


    “Waverly Vige is basically like a small dot in the map, while Capital City is like a battleground. Sooner orter, he’s bound to end up in Capital City.”


    “I’ve already lost Santiago. I can’t lose Jacky.”


    “He has Waverly Vige as his backing. I know he’ll soon end up in Capital City. If he can move up the ranks, then he will have nothing to fear.”


    “People change. Those who prefer sitting in the darkenjoy being reckless and unbridled. They are allowed to behave that way because nobody will know what they’ve done.”


    “However, those who prefer being out in the open have to behave themselves because even if they killed an ant, it would be known by others, not to mention killing a person. It’s best for Jacky to be out in the open.”


    “For the sake of Capital City, for sake of the Richards family and myself, I have to find a suitable way to hold on to Jacky.”


    “I’m afraid Deanna’s character will bepletely destroyed.”


    Raeleigh suddenly asked, “Was it part of your n to pair Deanna up with Jacky?”


    Jepherson eyes were sparkling. He was surprised at how intelligent Raeleigh was. At the same time,he was worried because she was too smart for her own good. She was a businesswoman and car designer, there was no need to be too smart.


    But he liked it very much!


    “No, it wasn’t part of the n. I take Deanna’s happiness very seriously. I do admit,in the back of my mind, I somehow knew that Jacky would be captured by Deanna’s charm.”


    “Howe?”


    “Some people lead aplicated life and Jacky is one of them. He grew up in a totally different environment. He has encountered a lot of hardships in his life, which made him the person he is today. Something you and I would not understand.”


    “And then, there’s another group of people who just do not give a damn about the world. They’re not aware of the suffering and poverty that happens around them. Deanna is one of them.”


    “These two people areplete opposites. However, they somehow fit.”


    “I feel that your life is much moreplicated than Jacky’s. His life is nothingpared to yours.”


    Raeleigh did not know whether she should admire Jepherson for preserving through so many adversities in his life. He was like a monster at times.


    He had unknowingly set up a trap and Jacky was slowly walking into it.


    “Jacky and I will have a fight. However,in order to gain the people’s trust, he’ll pretend to surrender and let me win.”


    “How sure are you?”


    “I’m very sure. Jacky isn’t a fool. He knows what I’m doing. All he wants is to make a name in Capital City. In return, he is willing to submit to me.”


    “Howe you’re so sure of everything?”


    “It’s just my gut feeling. Judging by how organized things are in Waverly Vige, I have no doubts that he will be able to manage Capital City well. I will not have to worry about anything.”


    “I do not trust anyone other than Jacky.”


    “Aren’t you afraid that Jacky will join forces with Zorion to retaliate against you?”


    “Jacky is very loyal. He’s the type of guy who’s willing to risk his life for his friends.”


    “He is even willing to give someone who betrayed him a way out. This proves how loyal he is.”


    “He’s not Jacky if he is willing to sacrifice his loyalty over his life.Otherwise,the Whalen family would not have agreed to let him marry Deanna.”


    “You’re very frightening.”


    Raeleigh spoke frankly. Jepherson smiled and said, “No one has ever dared to say that to me.”


    Raeleigh remained silent. Jepherson said, “The reason why Jacky wants toe to Capital City is that he knows, one day, he would not be able to protect Waverly Vige anymore.”


    “There are three roads in Waverly Vige leading into Capital City. Although it might look like a simple vige,once all the roads are opened, it will merge and be the only road into Capital City. This road is a must-have and everyone would want to reap the benefits.”


    “People who enjoyed living in the dark will definitely plot against those out in the open.”


    “A human only has a pair of hands and eyes as well as one brain. It is impossible for Jacky to guard against so many people.He had to be Godto protect everyone from getting harmed.”


    “This is the reason why he did not bring his children back to Waverly Vige.”


    “For people like him, tomorrow is not guaranteed. This is why Deanna might be in danger whenever she was with him.”


    “But then again, he would not stay with the Whalen family.”


    “Even though it would be the safest ce.”


    “Why do you think a person who is circumspect and far-sighted like Jacky would want toe to Capital City?”


    Raeleigh answered thoughtfully, “Because he wants to protect Waverly Vige?”


    “You’re right. He wants to use Capital City’s forces to protect Waverly Vige. That way, he would be able to link the two ces together and they would be able to help each other.”


    “People in Capital City would be delighted to help the people of Waverly Vige and the vige would have Capital City’s protection. It’s a win-win situation.”


    “However, if Jacky wants to enter Capital City, he needs a solid reason.”


    “Although whatever happened between Deanna and Jacky was a coincidence,it was totally unexpected. Though it is a happy coincidence.”Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    “It’s just that…”


    “It’s just that the Whalen family isn’t willing to be Jacky’s stepping stone. Moreover, the Whalen family is one of the most dominant families in Capital City. Jacky’s arrival will cause the Whalen family’s status to be unstable,” Raeleigh said.


    Jepherson smiled. “You’re half right.”


    “What about the other half?”


    “The good and bad cannot co-exist. Jacky married the daughter of a gangsterbut he wants to be a government official. Isn’t it a joke? That is also quite worrying. That is why Zorion rejected my idea. It’s like shooting his own people.”


    Raeleigh was speechless.


    Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Jepherson’s bright eyes, looking shocked.


    After listening to Jepherson’s thought process, Raeleigh came to realize that Jepherson was very good at nning. It seemed like he was able to predict what was going to happen. What about her?


    Raeleigh asked as if she just realized something, “Is there anything you can’t predict?”


    Jepherson stared at Raeleigh with a smirk. “Well, I do know that trees carry wind and asionally a passerby will decide to take a break and sit under the tree. However, I’m not sure whether it would be a man or a woman.”


    “I’m just trying to beat someone at their own game. Whether or not it will really happen…well, you’re the only one who knows!”


    Raeleigh pursed her lips and stared nkly at him. “You may be good at predicting things, but you can’t predict when you’re going to die. You can’t predict when you’re going to get married. There’s a lot of things you can’t predict!”


    “Haha…”


    Jepherson suddenlyughed. Although his smile was charming,he looked a little lonely and deste!
