"Scarlette, calm down. I'll call and ask if there's any updates. You can save your worries for later if something has happened to her."
Raeleigh called Zorion to inquire about Deanna. Zorion ignored her and hung up immediately.
When she heard the beeping sound on the phone, Raeleigh understood that he was implying that she was being too nosy. In other words, it indicated that Deanna was safe and sound.
"Deanna is fine." Raeleigh's eyes landed on Scarlette, who was on tenterhooks. She was surprised to hear what she had said.
"What did he say on the phone?" Scarlette asked. Raeleigh shook her head and said, "Nothing. The fact that he did not say a word meant that she was alright."
To Scarlette, her words somehow made sense but she wanted more reassurance. She got up and went to Deanna's house to look for her.
After waiting for a long time, she finally saw Deanne walking out of the villa with a new phone in her hand.
"Deanna, why didn't you tell me that you are back?
You've scared me out of my wits!" Scarlette stood at the door unhappily. That was her first time going to someone's house to ensure their safety. She felt very silly for doing this.
Deanna looked around. "Scarlette, hurry and get Raeleigh to find a way to get me out of here. I've been grounded by my brother."
Scarlette was rather dubious about her idea. If she was allowed to roam around freely, then nobody could guarantee her safety.
Scarlette thought to herself, "Don't even think about it."
"I will let Raeleigh know about it right now so that she can come up with a solution to save you." However, she didn't mention it to Raeleigh in reality. It wasn't until Deanna called Raeleigh that she knew about it.
She put her phone away and did not ask Scarlette regarding the matter as she too thought that they should not meddle in this matter.
Zorion had his own way of taking care of problems. He disliked intervention by others.
Scarlette remained silent while she waited for Raeleigh to ask her about it. However, Raeleigh never once spoke about the matter.
As a result, Scarlette started to feel restless and decided to approach Raeleigh herself.
"Don't you want to ask me something?" Scarlette initiated the question. Raeleigh looked at her. "Zorion will handle Deanna's affair, we should stay out of their business."
Scarlette was at a loss for words. "Raeleigh, is there something you know?"
"I don't know anything." Raeleigh turned her face and gazed at Cynthia, who had not come around yet. The doctor said that she should regain her consciousness the day before, but she was still asleep until that day.
Raeleigh was not in the mood to inquire about other matters. She felt guilty about Cynthia's accident. If she had not moved out of the house the previous day, then Cynthia might not have ended up like this.
Cynthia must have known something before the accident happened. That was why she didn't inform Santiago about her departure, and she even told Scarlette to follow Raeleigh.
Cynthia was an intelligent woman. She understood Scarlette's temperament very well, and she was aware that Scarlette would furtively stalk Raeleigh without showing herself. That way, Scarlette would buy her some time without knowing the truth. Cynthia didn't need too much time. An hour would probably suffice.
Raeleigh furrowed her brow. Cynthia did all this with the determination to die. If that was the case, then she would not regain consciousness even if her body had recovered.
