After returning to Capital City, Raeleigh followed Jepherson to the Richards family's home.
After going in, Jepherson immediately went to see Marissa. Raeleigh decided to follow him as well but she did not agitate or irritate Marissa this time.
Marissa said many nasty things. She was in a good mood before she saw Raeleigh. The moment she saw Raeleigh, her expression changed and she wanted to accuse her.
Jepherson had a stiff attitude. Marissa was angry as she started to accuse Raeleigh,
"Excuse me, I'm going to head over to the Green Jade Garden."
Raeleigh briefly glanced at Marissa who was sitting on the bed. She had just gotten better. Raeleigh figured it was best if she stayed out of the way.
Raeleigh turned around and left. Jepherson's expression turned cold as he watched her leave. "Raeleigh is not the type of woman you think she is. She's not with me for fame or money. I hope that you can treat her the same way you treat Stella. If you can't, then you ought to move in with Stella since you like her so much."
Jepherson left the room. Marissa was so angry that she clenched her fist and stomped her feet on the bed.
Raeleigh took a quick stroll around the courtyard before making her way to the Green Jade Garden.
A few moments later, Jepherson came out of the Ink Garden to look for Raeleigh. Just as he was making his way to the Green Jade Garden, he suddenly stopped when he spotted a black car parked at the entrance of the Richards Group Manor.
The driver got out of the car and opened the door for the passenger. A man got out from the other side of the car. He opened the trunk and took out a wheelchair. He then put it down and pushed it towards the car.
The man bent down and carried Stella out of the car. There was a distance between Jepherson and the car so he could not really make out who it was. but he had a hunch. Jepherson decided not to stay and watch. He continued walking towards the Green Jade Garden.
Stella sat on the wheelchair and briefly straightened her clothes. The servant immediately placed a warm quilt over her lap as it was a cold day.
Stella turned around to look at Jepherson who was standing across the courtyard earlier. Unfortunately, he wasn't there anymore.
Stella looked a little pale, as if she wasn't healthy.
The man came over and whispered a few words into her ear. Stella nodded and looked at him. "I know. Don't worry. Let's go and see Madam Marissa."
Stella quietly looked ahead in the wheelchair. It was funny. What a coincidence that Jepherson was here too. It seemed like she picked the right time to come and visit. If she had come a little later, she probably would have missed him.
Marissa had dressed up on this day because she knew that Stella would be coming to visit.
Stella had cried over the phone when she was talking to Marissa. Marissa felt bad for her. After all, Stella was the one who had taken care of her when no one did.
Marissa had arranged for someone to pick Stella up. She had even talked to Stella's grandmother, Geraldine. She was aware that Geraldine was not an ordinary person. Neither was the Doyle family.
Madam Marissa had specifically arranged for someone to pick Stella up from the airport.
Stella started to cry when she saw Marissa
crying.
They hadn't seen in each other in such a long time.
They were like grandmother and granddaughter.
"Stella, please don't leave. Trust me, I'm sure I will be able to find a way to make you part of the Richards family."
Marissa held onto Stella's hand tightly. Stella's face was red from crying.
"Madam Marissa, I'm not worthy of Jepherson. I've thought it through. I know that you cannot force a marriage."
The more Stella cried, the guiltier Marissa felt.
"The Richards family is responsible for you ending up in a wheelchair. You can't give up just like that. Stella, I'm sure there is a cure. Don't worry, I'll speak for you."
When Jepherson finally found Raeleigh, she was in the Green Jade Garden, admiring a painting.
