Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1723

When Jepherson was leaving, Raeleigh was there at the airport to see him off. After watching him board the plane, she turned to leave, only to see Jared standing behind her.

Seeing Raeleigh look at him, Jared shrugged and said, "Don't look at me.; I didn't ask for this. I'd rather stay by his side and protect him than you."

With that, Jared walked away while Raeleigh was rendered stumped for a moment before following him out. It was cold that day, so Raeleigh had on quite a few layers. Plus, her left hand was handicapped, so she was extra careful when walking.

Jared waited for Raeleigh outside, but his actions resembled none of a bodyguard.

Raeleigh stood at the exit, searching, and headed to where Xanthus parked his car, telling Jared in the meantime, "You don't need to follow me. Feel free to leave if you want to."

"You're my responsibility now. When have I said I'm leaving you?"

He talked back to her, and she cut him a glance, saying, "If Jepherson disguised himself as Callis, then you're Leander, aren't you?"

Amused, Jared retorted, "So? What do you want? Settle old scores?"

Hearing that, Raeleigh only headed for Xantus's car. When she was about to get in, she saw a girl approaching her.

It was Cindy.

Standing in front of Raeleigh, she barked, "Didn't you say you won't sue me? Why did I receive this?" Cindy chucked the lawyer's letter at Raeleigh's face, which reeled her a little, surprised that Jepherson would go back on his words.

Despite Cindy's action, Raeleigh wasn't upset with her but took a quick look at Jared, who didn't even lift a finger.

Because he knew she wasn't the kind who would bellyache in front of Jepherson that he acted so outrageous.

Their eyes met; Raeleigh knew he despised her from the bottom of his heart, so she turned her gaze back to Cindy.

Raeleigh picked up the paper on the ground to take a good look at it. It still mentioned compensation, and the amount remained the same.

Raeleigh looked at her and asked, "Did you stalk me?"

Stumped, Cindy shot at her, "It doesn't matter how I found you. I want to know this instant whether you are a woman of your word."

"Raeleigh..."

Xanthus was leafing through a document in the car. The weather was cold, and sitting in the driver's seat, his vision was obstructed. It wasn't his problem that Jepherson was leaving, but he couldn't just sit back when Raeleigh was involved.

He read while waiting for Raeleigh's return, but who would've thought trouble would come knocking at their door even at this time.

Xanthus hopped out of the car and immediately held Raeleigh in his arms.

Raeleigh said, "I'm fine. It's just business."

"Business?" Xanthus looked at the girl in front of him; she looked slightly above average, but she left quite a bad impression on him.

"If you need to talk to Raeleigh, wait at her office. What are you doing here?"

Xanthus's words were sharp and unpleasant.

Xanthus had Cindy lost in thought for a second, but when her gaze drifted back to Raeleigh, it grew more baleful.

How Raeleigh wished she could plead innocent right then. She couldn't believe she had become someone's imaginary enemy when she had done nothing at all.

"I did, but the whole of the company ignored me and stopped me at the entrance of the building itself. This is unfair to me. I admit I was wrong in the beginning, but the issue has been resolved, and she had promised not to press charges, yet she did a full one-eighty only after a day." Cindy criticized Raeleigh.

But before Raeleigh could speak, Xanthus gave her a piece of his mind. "Do you have written proof? Or do you have a witness to prove what she said?"
