When Jenna came out of the ward, Hansen, Jepherson, and Santiago were discussing outside. She paused and watched them at the door.
She looked at Hansen, and she then walked over and sat beside him on the bench.
Jenna never wanted things to come to this. After all, Marissa was their family, and she was an elderly. Even if she did something wrong, they should not go for her.
However, they could not indulge her just because she was an elderly. Raeleigh was innocent. There was no reason for Marissa to do such a thing.
"What do you want to say to Grandma? Are you going to talk about Raeleigh?" Jenna needed to know the answers then.
Hansen yawned. "Since you're all sleepy, then let's go back to sleep. Don't lose your sleep because of this. Mother and I are going to rest too."
He stood up and pulled her with him. She was not a fool. She knew they did not want her to know what happened. That was why he was acting like this.
Jepherson and Santiago took the hint when Hansen asked them to go back to sleep. The two of them went to Raeleigh's room and closed the door without another word.
Jenna turned around and looked at Jepherson and Santiago as they entered the room, feeling unhappy. Whenever they talked about serious matters, they would put on this attitude. They never listened to her.
Then, she asked Hansen in confusion, "I have been taking care of them since they were born, but I don't understand why they always favor you. Even though they know it is a mistake, they will eventually favor you. This is really strange!"
Hansen yawned and went into their room. He pushed open the door, and he then took off his clothes and lay down on the bed.
He patted the empty space beside him and said, "I'll tell you once you come up here."
She rolled her eyes at him. Although she was a little angry, she walked over and joined him.
She sat down on the bed and began taking off her clothes. Hansen had his own way of persuading her. However, she did not sleep well for the rest of the night. She always felt that she had done something wrong.
However, Raeleigh slept well that night.
Santiago and Jepherson left Raeleigh's side as soon as Jenna went back into her room. At first, Raeleigh had a hard time falling asleep, but after a while, fatigue overcame her, and she immediately went to sleep.
By the time Raeleigh woke up, Xanthus was already back. Xanthus noticed that she was feeling better, so he talked to her. Then, Raeleigh told him what had happened the night before.
"Did Old Madam Marissa really do this?" Although Xanthus knew that it was probably true, he did not expect it to be so tricky. The Richards family thought highly of Raeleigh. However, Marissa wanted to go against them. That was the first time that he encountered such a thing.
He had seen many things in the past, but that time, he finally managed to witness even more.
"Maybe. I am not sure. But Santiago's father let them go as soon as he saw the two men. The two men were also scared quite badly, so they immediately ran away."
"Jepherson and Santiago stayed until late at night before they left. I don't know if they had gone back to find Old Madam Marissa. They had a discussion outside when I pretended to sleep, but they suddenly stopped talking when Madam Jenna joined them. They didn't wait for her to speak and quickly hid in my room. When she went back to sleep, they left without saying goodbye." Raeleigh only knew that much. After thinking about it, she thought that Jepherson and Santiago probably went to see Marissa.
At Richards Manor.
Marissa did not expect the men she hired to be so useless. Not only did they fail to kill a girl, but they returned in a mess.
She was about to scold them when someone arrived at the door. She was not prepared to see Jepherson and Santiago at all.
"Mr. Jepherson."
