Raeleigh stared at Hanschel with what seemed to be a brief moment of doubt but still she approached him. Her quiet and beautiful eyes shrouded in ice and snow gazed at him as she said, "Did you think that you got the court to give you a life sentence due to your own capabilities?"
Something shifted a little in Hanschel's eyes, a faint look of incredulity in them.
Raeleigh surveyed the people around them. Jepherson was somewhat astonished, but Raeleigh had never said what she didn't mean.
"I might as well tell you. The one who did your operation, I was the one who hired them. I wanted them to operate and treat your injuries. When you filed for lawsuit, I was the one who paid for it to get through the channels as you followed from behind.
This court trial, the initiator of it all isn't you, but me. You underestimated me a little too much.
"I can cripple all four of your limbs, and I can leave them intact to live like a decent person. If I were you, I would act like a fool and stay in a psychiatric hospital for two years until things blow over. Once things had calmed, I would come out again to settle my debts.
To stay low and wise up is the best course of action. Unfortunately for you, I know your character very well and you'll definitely never let this go unanswered.
But you have miscalculated. Remember this well, never have a woman as your enemy, otherwise you'll be played till you are dead!"
Beneath the pair of sunglasses he wore, Jepherson inadvertently glanced at Raeleigh.
His hand tightened around her waist, a kind of worry being brewed in his heart.
This Raeleigh in front of him, did she really have no intentions to retaliate against him? If she did, then how would he end up?
Raeleigh raised her head up to study Jepherson, before she turned back to Hanschel who seemed to be in shock, "The reason why I want you to get better is because I want to send you to a certain place. Once you're there, you'll have no chance of getting out. You'll never see the light of day again." "What are you going to do?" Hanschel had seen first hand how cruel Raeleigh could be, and he believed that what she said wasn't all bluff. Raeleigh divulged, "You should know very well what I'm going to do. A life for a life. As you've done so many terrible deeds, I'm just sending you to a place where you can pay with your life.
Don't worry, I'll come visit you."
"Let's go." Two people stood behind Hanschel's back, one of them gave a nudge to prompt him to leave.
It was only then Jepherson realised that those two didn't seem to be ordinary prison wardens. They looked a little too upright to be one.
"Wait a minute, which department do you belong to?" Jepherson tried to stop them, but the other party did not pay attention to him. They proceeded to press the person directly into the car and drove away.
Jepherson dragged Raeleigh into the car. After that, they tailed the car from behind only to lose them on the road. Jepherson called the traffic bureau to get the surveillance footage out but to no avail.
Later, Jepherson went to the bathroom. When he came out, Raeleigh had disappeared. No matter where he searched, he could not find her.
No one even answered the phone.
Jepherson may hold the entire city in the palm of his hands, but he still couldn't fish out Raeleigh's whereabouts.
Jepherson called Jacky to ask whether he knew her location. Jacky replied that he didn't know.
Jepherson laughed mirthlessly, "You don't know where she is? Then do you know where Deanna is?"
"Jepherson, if you do this again, I promise you..."
Jepherson hung up the phone and looked back at Jared. "I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself. Bring Deanna to me."
