Chapter 1769
The next day, when Raeleigh was having breakfast, Jacky came over with Deanna.
When they entered the house, Deanna mentioned that they hadn't had anything to eat, so Raeleigh invited them to join her.
After sitting down, Deanna started talking about Jared as if he was not there. Jared lowered his head and ate quietly with a cold expression on his face.
"I just feel that some people are ungrateful. One should repay a debt of gratitude with kindness, but some people just wouldn't."
Raeleigh raised her head to look at Deanna. "What are you talking about? Are you talking about me?"
"No, I'm not. Raeleigh, I just want to remind you that it's not good to be kind to people all the time, because if you give them an inch, they will ask for a mile."
Then, Raeleigh said, "That's enough. I'm going to stop eating if you continue talking."
"Fine, I'll stop talking."
It was only then that Deanna stopped talking. At this moment, Jared was still eating. After eating, he stood up and went back to his room.
Raeleigh said to Deanna, "Can you not talk about it? Jared is still recuperating."
"Raeleigh, I just want to ask you one question. Do you have feelings for Jared?"
Deanna was being serious. Her eyes were fixed on Raeleigh.
Raeleigh did not bother answering Deanna's question. She looked at Jacky and said, "Can you please take Deanna home?"
Jacky did not reply as he was still eating.
Deanna felt very proud and told Raeleigh, "That's my husband!"
Raeleigh was speechless.
After eating, Jacky looked at the time, "I think it's time we make a move. We have some things to do in the evening."
Deanna originally intended to wash the dishes before leaving, but Jacky suddenly said he had some things he needed to take care of, so she quickly left with Jacky.
After Jacky and Deanna left, Raeleigh went back to her room to take a rest. As soon as she lay down on the bed, she received a phone call from Deanna.
Raeleigh answered the phone and heard Deanna
say, "Raeleigh, Jepherson is sick."
After that, she immediately hung up the phone. Jacky, who was driving, turned to look at his wife.
"Jepherson is sick?"
"No, he's not."
Deanna told him frankly.
Jacky shook his head, "Do you think you can fool her?"
"You don't know Raeleigh well enough. Trust me, she will believe me."
Raeleigh sat for a while, then asked Harvey, "Did Jepherson drop by today?"
"No, he left last night."
Raeleigh thought for a moment, "Harvey, I need to go out for a while. I'll be home soon."
Raeleigh grabbed the car keys and went straight to her car. Harvey came out to check on Raeleigh to see if she knew how to drive. Raeleigh smiled and drove away.
Harvey was worried and called Jacky first.
"Okay, got it."
After hanging up the call, Jacky looked over at Deanna, who had already fallen asleep.
Deanna was sneaky in a way which was not easily
seen by others.
Raeleigh stopped the car at the entrance of the village. She got out of the car and looked around. She did not see any of the Richards family's cars. If Jepherson was fine, he would have been here by now.
Raeleigh waited for a while. She believed that Jepherson was really sick, but she did not go out. She stood at the entrance for a while and was about to head home when she heard a car pull up behind her. She quickly turned around.
Raeleigh saw a black car stopped on the opposite side of the road. A man got out of the car. When she saw who it was, she immediately fell silent.
Crevor crossed the road and stopped at the entrance of the village.
"I'm not going in. I just came to have a look. Raeleigh..."
"Thank you for the ointment."
"You're welcome. Raeleigh, I have an event to attend this evening. Can you be my date?" This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Raeleigh shook her head. "No, I'm sorry, I don't think it's appropriate."
"What if I told you that I knew you went to the mountains?"
Raeleigh glared at him. "You followed me?" "Raeleigh, I have eyes everywhere. It's not that I want to follow you, I just want to protect you."
Raeleigh hesitated for a moment. After a while, Raeleigh asked, "Where are we going?"
"You'll know when you get there."
Raeleigh thought for a moment. "Is this a threat?"
"I don't mind if you refuse my invitation, but I really hope that you can be my date."
After thinking for a while, Raeleigh walked out of the village and said, "Alright then, let's go."
Crevor turned around and got into the car with Raeleigh. Raeleigh got into the car without saying a word. It did not take long before they arrived at the entrance of a business club.
After getting out of the car, Crevor said, "I came here to talk business, but it happened to become something very important in my life."
Raeleigh stopped and looked at Crevor. "Are you here for a blind date?"
Crevor nodded. "Yes."
Raeleigh did not say anything. She felt as if she had been tricked.
"Why did you bring me here for a blind date?"
"Come on, let's go."
Crevor led Raeleigh in by her arm. Raeleigh did not dare to shrug his hands off, so she followed Crevor into the club.
Inside the elevator, Crevor let go of Raeleigh's hand and slightly lowered his head. It was as if he was lost in thought. Then, he looked up and stared at the elevator door until it opened.
When they arrived at the designated floor, Crevor led Raeleigh into a private room.
Two people were guarding the door and nodded politely when they saw Crevor.
Then, they opened the door for Crevor and he swiftly entered the room.
Raeleigh followed him in.
This was the most expensive room in the entire club. There were leather sofas for people to chat on both sides, desks and chairs in the middle, and other entertainment facilities around them. In general, everything looked exquisite.
After entering the room, only then Raeleigh noticed the people in the room. She was surprised when she saw Geraldine. Raeleigh just kept her eyes on her and said nothing.
Geraldine was also surprised when she saw Raeleigh. "Miss Anson?"
Raeleigh looked at Geraldine. "Hi, Madam Geraldine."
Geraldine froze for a while. She did not expect that Raeleigh would address her like this.
After a moment of silence, Geraldine looked over at Crevor and said, "Crevor, are you going to explain to me what's going on?"
Crevor said, "Raeleigh is my new girlfriend. I brought her here because I want her to meet you and Sussie."
Geraldine's face turned pale. Raeleigh then saw a beautiful young lady coming out of the bathroom.
The young lady had bright and attractive eyes. She wore a red dress and a white shawl over her shoulders.
The way the young lady dressed might be a little old- fashioned, but she gave Raeleigh a very youthful impression.
The young lady, whose name was Sussie, stared at Raeleigh with tears in her eyes.
At this time, Crevor walked to the front of Sussie, lowered his head and said, "Sussie, I know that you have always loved me, but I told you that I only treat you like a sister. I have already found the person I want. I'm sorry!"
"But Crevor..."
Sussie could not stop her tears from falling. Raeleigh did not want to stay any longer, so she turned around to go out. However, just as Raeleigh just turned around, Geraldine who was standing behind, said "Miss Anson, do you think it's appropriate for you to leave now?"
Raeleigh turned around and looked at Geraldine. "Yes, why not?"
"Hmph! Miss Anson, you sure know how to talk back! What you mean is that my family can be bullied easily. What? You think that you can come and go as you wish?"
Geraldine looked furious. She hadn't forgotten what had happened that year. She was not planning to let Raeleigh go so easily.
