Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1820

"Come on. Let's have a stroll." Austin stood up and took Raeleigh outside. They walked around the prison, appearing to be small in contrast to the tall walls. Raeleigh looked at everything around her and harked back to the old days when she was brought here, falling into a brown study.

The vivid memory of the past was upsetting and it caused a dull pain in her heart whenever she recalled it.

Numerous events had transpired in the past, so Raeleigh was lost in thoughts shortly. She didn't expect that she would be snatched from the jaws of death so many times. For so many years, starting from the time she could remember things in childhood, the fire was like a curse, haunting her until the day when everything had settled.

It was not until she was on her last legs that she snapped out of it gradually.

Raeleigh asked, "How is the investigation going?"

Austin turned around and threw a glance at Raeleigh. "Have you ever thought about who was behind that fire?"

Raeleigh was stunned for a long time before she replied, "Back in the day, the Doyle family must have been aware of my existence from the beginning. Why did they wait for ten years before they took action to burn a lot of other kids and me to death? If the Doyle family wanted to kill me, no one would notice if they went in and murdered me secretly. There are plenty of ways to make a child die and the Doyle family must be able to perform it perfectly."

"You're still as smart as ever."

As Austin spoke, he looked out the door of the prison with his hands clasped behind. "This is also the reason I've objected to you and Jepherson's marriage.

Raeleigh, I know that you're still thinking about Jepherson. Whether you and Santiago are just having a fling or you are going for the real deal, I have to remind you that you can't marry into the Richards family as long as Marissa is still alive.

Based on Santiago's personality, he is going to protect you. If you become his woman, he won't mistreat you. However, Jepherson is different. He will prioritize the big picture. You're a mere pawn in his game.

For the sake of the bigger picture, he will sacrifice you if it's needed."

"I'm aware of it." "Since you know it, why are you still letting the attachment to him creep over you?" "For some things, I always thought that I could control them. By the time I realized that I couldn't, I was already stuck in them."

"So?"

"In my lifetime, I won't marry Jepherson. I've no interest in being the mistress of the Richards family. I only want to lead a peaceful life."

"I'm glad that you can think in this way."

"Austin."

"Yeah?"

"Was it really Marissa?"

"Well..." Austin smirked. "In fact, Marissa has long known that the Doyle family is unscrupulous but she has been shaming ignorance. Furthermore, she tries to fix Stella and Jepherson up. She's well aware that if the Richards doesn't form a bond with the Doyles, the scandalous incident she did will come to light. She acts to protect herself and Trevor.

As for the fire in the orphanage, you should know the difference between killing a kid and a bunch of kids."

"They did it to cover up the truth so that people can't know their true motive and target, am I right?"

Austin did not reply to Raeleigh's question, but she knew that he had already given an answer since he made no effort to correct her because he did not need to.

"Santiago is here. I want to go out for a while."

"Let Lenold go with you. I believe that Marissa does not have the guts to touch you now. I think it's a good idea for you to give her a warning, or she will be too cocky.

By the way, do me a favor by passing a message to her. Tell her that I won't let you marry into the Richards family in her remaining years."

"Austin."

"If you don't say it, I'll ask Lenold to do it."

"I'll tell her then."

Raeleigh agreed with him, turned around and went outside. It would be troublesome if Lenold were the one to pass the message to Marissa.

After leaving Green House, Raeleigh got into the car. Lenold shot a glance at her and drove her to Richards Group Manor.

As the car came to a stop, Raeleigh emerged from it and glanced at the gate of Richards Group Manor. After that, she went forward to ring the bell.
