After the meal was ready, Marissa came out of the room while Raeleigh stood aside. After she sat down, Raeleigh pulled Jepherson over to take a seat.
Over the entire course of the meal, Marissa didn't spare either of them a single glance. Once she had eaten, she packed her luggage and took some necessities before getting in the car and leaving the Richards Group Manor.
Jenna then got in the car with her. Before doing so, she had been talking to Raeleigh. Of course, Marissa would not bother about things like this, at least not in front of Raeleigh.
However, it was another matter after getting in the car.
Marissa took a look at the person beside her and began to complain, "She's not as good as she seems. You're too innocent."
"They're all just children. Honestly, children are all the same. Although she isn't the best in some aspects, she will learn as she grows up."
Jenna couldn't just decide whether children were inherently good or bad. However, she was having a hard time trying to search for any of Raeleigh's flaws.
Even so, she couldn't say anything that would upset Marissa.
Marissa looked outside impatiently. "You just dote on Jerry too much. He's always been like this, ever since he was young. This isn't the first time. If you had told him the truth, he wouldn't have become like this."
After all, she was not fond of Raeleigh. If she were replaced by Stella, then Marissa would have had no complaints.
"Well, I think Jerry has a great personality. He's just like me."
Sitting on one side, Hansen, who had been resting with his eyes shut, slowly cracked his eyes open and said that.
Although Marissa was reluctant, she could not say anything because she had no real power right then. Her words would not have much of an impact.
Jenna glanced at Hansen. Luckily he was powerful, otherwise...
As the car sped away, Santiago watched as it got further and further away from the entrance. He stated, "I thought I'd struck gold, but it turns out I was too naive." "Nonsense." Jepherson suddenly interrupted him.
Raeleigh stood aside and looked at Santiago as she scolded, "You really have no verbal filter. There's nothing you won't say. You know your do's and don'ts, yet you would happily go for the don'ts."
Santiago turned and got into the car. He started it up and glanced at the two people standing at the door. "I got something to do. Ciao, folks."
Raeleigh and Jepherson did not say anything, waiting for him to leave. She turned to Jepherson and said, "Your grandmother has had a sudden change in personality."
"What can I say? People change. Considering how amazing you are, of course she would change." Jepherson held Raeleigh in his arms and wanted to go inside with her, but she raised her hand to stop him. "I'm going back. I've been out for so long."
"Oh, does 'long' even exist when you're with me?" Jepherson stopped and put his hands around Raeleigh's waist, to which she laughed. "Well, I'm not gonna start this with you. But it's true that I want to go back."
He loosened his grip and let her go.
Raeleigh looked at the car. "Are you sending me back?"
Yeah."
Jepherson walked to the front of the car and opened the door to signal Raeleigh to get in.
The driver, who was coming back from the other side, was a little surprised to see the car driving away. He scuttled to the place where the car had stopped earlier, visibly anxious.
Someone came over and told the driver that Jepherson had driven away, who then quickly got into another car and followed him.
It was not the first time Raeleigh had sat in such a fast car, but she was not afraid at all.
Santiago was even rampant than Jepherson when he was driving, but he was not as steady. When Jepherson drove, the car would not shake even if it was drifting.
Raeleigh looked outside and found that the telephone poles seemed to be flying past. It was not long before she felt dizzy.
