Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 850

Everyone had to gather at the sports ground, so all the students at Elkton were too busy cooperating to remember about the whole Raeleigh affair.

Before Raeleigh got out of the car, she was still worried. However, when she got out of the car, the front gate was deserted, save for the principal of the university, who stood there waiting for Jepherson's arrival. She saw no one else.

When the principal saw Raeleigh alight the car together with Jepherson, he immediately strode over to welcome them, going first to Jepherson to greet him. "Young Master Richards."

Jepherson did not reply to him. The principal looked at Raeleigh and said, "Raeleigh, the university had organized a car designing competition and there'll be people coming over shortly to talk about it, so why don't you go in first."

Raeleigh took a look at Jepherson, nodded to the principal, and then hurried to her dorm.

She didn't dare to wear the clothes Jepherson had given her as she was afraid of being put in the spotlight. Whenever there was a formal gathering at the university, it was the school's rules that those in attendance must wear the school's uniform. So, she quickly went to her dorm to change her clothes before making her way to the sports grounds.

Jepherson watched Raeleigh walk towards the dorm instead of the sports grounds. He was not in a hurry and took his time following the principal to the sports grounds. Just as she got onto the grounds, Jepherson stepped up to the podium on the stage to give his speech.

As soon as Jepherson's figure appeared, there was immediately a series of screams on the sports grounds beneath the stage. Some of them, with no regard for their own dignity or image, shouted, "Jepherson Richards, I love you."

Jepherson acted as if he hadn't heard anything. His face was cold as usual. His eagle eyes surveyed the soccer field below, sweeping every corner. He only ever showed a trace of his warmth and gentleness in the presence of the person he wanted very much to meet. Otherwise, his face would be stoic and cold.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Jepherson Richards. Today, on behalf of the Richards Group, I've come to Elkton University to..."

Raeleigh stood below, staring at the noble Jepherson, as he stood high above on the platform. It was only then that she knew who Jepherson really was, his relationship with the university, and his family connections.

Jepherson ended his speech and left the platform. The school had adopted security measures, so that no one could come into contact with Jepherson. Just like this, Jepherson disappeared from the university in the blink of an eye.

Raeleigh understood that Jepherson had done this for her, to distract the attention away from her.

Otherwise, this kind of event would've been preplanned and scheduled in advance.

Scarlette stood beside Raeleigh on her right. After her speech had ended, she wrapped her arm around Raeleigh's and asked, "Why didn't you come back that day?"

"Yesterday?" Raeleigh reminded Scarlette. Not that day, which would imply many days, as it was the day before.

She said disapprovingly, "It makes no difference. Now, tell me, what did you do?"

"Don't ask. I can't explain it clearly." Raeleigh didn't want to explain. The more she explained, the more confused she would become.

"If you don't want to tell me, then it's alright. Just forget about it then." She didn't pursue the matter any further as she knew Raeleigh's character well.

Raeleigh and Scarlette went back to class and on

the way there, they bumped into Quirina.

"Raeleigh, you are back?" Quirina asked as soon as they met. Her voice was purposely shrill to attract the attention of others.

Scarlette was angry upon seeing Quirina and she really wanted to go up and give her a big slap in the face, but Raeleigh held her back, saying, "Just leave it, and let's go to class, don't stoop to her level."

Scarlette rolled her eyes at Raeleigh impatiently. "Alright, I'll listen to you."

After saying that, she and Raeleigh had intended to leave, but Quirina blocked their path. Raeleigh and Scarlette stopped and looked at Quirina, who stood in front of them.

Quirina laughed and said, "Raeleigh, when did you come back last night? I had something to ask you and waited outside your dormitory for nearly a whole night but you never returned, causing me to fall asleep outside."
