"Xanthus, I must have worried you with my affairs lately." Raeleigh found a place to stop and chat with Xanthus.
"It's fine. You're my sister; it's only natural for me to do anything for you. No need for all this."
Raeleigh pursed her lips and said, "But even so, I've only been adding to your troubles, never once putting you at ease."
"What's the difference? Some things are inevitable; it's better than not being able to find you. Am I supposed to complain about a little hardship after going through fire and water to search for my little sister?"
"Having a younger sister is just like having a child who dislikes school, worrying about whether they had their meals or going to school on time, then later, worrying about their future partners and children."
"Even though we are worried, it is a process in life we have to go through. I would prefer to be worried about you than not finding you. Compared to Jepherson, I am much luckier."
Raeleigh was so moved that she could not help shedding tears. Xanthus could not bear to see his sister cry, so he pulled her into his arms. But it was that hug that led to something unpleasant.
It was only a short hug. Raeleigh then brought up what Jenna said. He was a clever man, so he naturally knew what was going on. Anyone with sharp eyes could tell that Jenna was hinting to Raeleigh to find Jacky a chance when they went to Everland. As for how to seize the chance, it depended on Raeleigh.
"Raeleigh, have you thought this through? Rayan is no ordinary man; it's not an exaggeration to say he's the king of Capital City. You will have a hard time if you offend him."
Xanthus was worried about Raeleigh, and she knew about it, but she was put in a tough spot.
"I've already promised Jacky; he wants to contact Deanna. If possible, I want to go, even if I can only see her."
He really had to hand it to her. She seemed to have always found a way to defeat him.
"I'll go with you to Everland then."
That was all he could do.
She said in amusement, "Of course, you have to. We can go home in the meantime and visit Cynthia as well."
Stumped, her beautiful face popped up in his mind as he smiled and shook his head. "She probably has a boyfriend now." "It doesn't matter. We'll just be there for a visit. Besides, I don't think she's someone who will get herself a boyfriend this soon."
"If that's the case, it's even more reason for me not to go. She has someone else in her heart; it doesn't make sense if I go."
"Why are you finding a reason to like someone? Is my brother this spineless?" Raeleigh poked Xanthus twice, and he resigned.
"Having a sister like you is indeed very troublesome."
She shrugged her shoulders. "Too bad; you're stuck with me."
Xanthus shook his head and went back with Raeleigh. As soon as they were back, Marissa sent someone to them.
The person was waiting in the living room with Jepherson sitting on the sofa, looking calm and unmoved.
As soon as Raeleigh entered, the man said, "Madam Marissa would like to speak to you, Miss Raeleigh."
Raeleigh took a deep breath. She did not want to come here at all; it was too suffocating.
"I'll go with you."
As Xanthus said so, Jepherson also stood up and walked over to her. The servant turned around and left. It didn't take long for them to arrive at Ink Garden, and they saw Jenna and her husband standing at the entrance.
Looking at Raeleigh, Jenna felt sorry for her and sighed.
Hansen had his hands behind his back and said nothing.
After greeting them, Raeleigh followed Jepherson and Xanthus to Marissa's room. As soon as she entered, Marissa threw something at her.
