Raeleigh switched on her laptop and sat by Scarlette's side. Scarlette took a long time before she shifted in her seat, took out her laptop, and reluctantly started the game, inwardly complaining. She was dissatisfied with the fact that Raeleigh did not spare her a single cent after she had won the money. Raeleigh thought for a while and said, "I gave all the money to Jepherson. I asked him to transfer the money to your wages to reward you."
Raeleigh told her about it in a text message, so she didn't know about it.
Scarlette looked at Raeleigh before asking in a stiff manner, "Did you give the money back to Jepherson?"
"It's not my money. I don't have to take it."
Scarlette slowly moved away. "Then, there's even less chance of getting it back."
Raeleigh took a look at her. "Why?"
"Just because he treats you nicely, it doesn't mean he treats the whole world the same. That's impossible. The reason he's good to you is that he likes you. He doesn't like us. How is he going to return the money to us? What do you think of this logic?"
Raeleigh did not answer Scarlette's question, but she did not think so.
It was as if Scarlette had suggested that Jepherson was an awful person.
After playing for a while, Santiago woke up from the other side and sat down for a while. He got up and called for the two of them to eat together. The three of them then went out to have a meal.
Out of the room, Raeleigh followed Santiago and Scarlette. She was about to get into the car when she saw Deanna and Zorion at the gate. Deanna was looking at Raeleigh's car that was snatched away by Santiago. She seemed to like it very much.
"Zorion, it's so beautiful." Deanna liked Raeleigh's car.
"It's the one designed by Raeleigh." Zorion could tell at a glance. Initially, he also wanted one, but there were only ninety-nine of them, so he did not get to buy it.
Deanna froze for a moment, and she then turned around and left. When she turned around and saw Raeleigh with the others, she stopped and looked at them with a displeased expression.
Raeleigh was silent throughout the encounter. Since Deanna didn't like her, it was better not to talk to her.
Santiago merely paused for a moment before walking over to the car. He opened the door and got in. Raeleigh and Scarlette then sat down in the backseat.
After they left, Deanna asked, "Is that Santiago's car?"
"l think so." Zorion turned around and went to his car with Deanna. They got into the car, and Zorion sat aside in a daze.
Since the last incident, Zorion rarely smiled, as if he didn't know how to smile.
The siblings got in the car and drove towards their favorite restaurant. On the way there, they met Raeleigh and the others again. They got out of the car, and so did Raeleigh. They went there one after another, arriving at the restaurant.
Raeleigh was the last to get out the car. When she did, she happened to see Deanna coming out of the car.
Deanna felt uncomfortable when she saw Raeleigh, but when she saw Santiago, her face was filled with an unpleasant fury.
"Zorion, let's go." Deanna pulled Zorion's arm and stepped into a private dining room. Scarlette sarcastically told Raeleigh, "Raeleigh, look at them. Some people really have a bad conscience. It's useless no matter what you do."
Raeleigh said nothing and put herself in her shoes. If Scarlette took Jepherson away, then she would never forgive Scarlette for the rest of her life.
Since they were good friends, they couldn't bear it. If it were to be someone else, then the gains and losses would not be so heavy.
