Raeleigh was calm. This was her character. The more dangerous the situation was, the calmer she was.
If it were not for Deanna, then Raeleigh would not have lost her composure.
At that time, Raeleigh was thinking the same thing as Santiago.
"Since it's Flynt, how about we go and find him now?" Raeleigh raised her head to look at Santiago. Santiago shook his head and said, "It's useless. Even if Deanna was actually with him, I doubt he would release her. If he admitted that he had kidnapped Deanna, then it would cause great harm to the Moore family. Mr. Whalen is not in the country. The decision is in Zorion's hand, and knowing him, he would definitely not let the Moore family go."
"As you know, young people are fearless. Once the Moore family triggered this battle, Zorion would definitely subvert the entire Capital City."
"The Moore family had been entrenched in Capital City for many years. But then again, they could only be regarded as influential figures in the political situation. They cannot fully control Capital City." "Over the years, the Moore family had not made any great achievements. The Whalen family had already sealed the fate of Capital City. The Moore family has failed to change the situation. If they wanted to reverse the situation, then they would have to start from our generation."
"Flynt thinks highly of himself and refuses to agree to his sisters marrying into either one of our families. Of course, we think poorly of them too. Therefore, there are only two ways for him to turn the tables on us, and that was to draw one of us to his side while pinning down the other side."
"Unfortunately, the Richards family and Whalen family are inseparable. Even without the marriage alliance between Deanna and Jepherson to consolidate everything, our two families are still allies. With Jepherson and Zorion here, even if the road is endless, we still would not be separated."
"Flynt is making things worse for himself."
"Of course, he is smart in his own way, but why did he want to get us involved? We would not be easily harmed by him."
Scarlette lowered her head. Why were his words so unpleasant?
Raeleigh was stunned for a moment. Santiago was extremely frivolous, but Jepherson was the one who had to bear all the responsibilities.
"But we can't just sit around and do nothing. Deanna is too naive. If Flynt was the one who kidnapped her, then I'm sure she will not let it go. She would not sit there and wait to be rescued."
"Yes, you are right. However, Zorion has already sent out a search party. I'm sure he will be able to find her faster than us. What we need to do now is to think about how we're going to tell my grandmother about what happened between you and Jepherson."
Raeleigh did not respond to Santiago's words.
"What?"
Santiago rolled his eyes at Raeleigh and said, "About how Jepherson is interested in you."
Raeleigh did not understand. Scarlette suddenly sighed. Raeleigh was not a dumb person. She knew everything. However, Scarlette had no idea why she was so slow when it came to these things. At that time, she was still worried about Deanna. She was afraid that she would not be able to come out safely from the kidnapping.
Jepherson was nowhere to be seen now that Deanna was in trouble. It was impossible for Zorion to keep everything a secret. Once Old Madam Richards found out about this, the next person she would deal with would be Raeleigh, yet Raeleigh was still worried about Deanna. Scarlette wondered whether Raeleigh was actually dumb.
A realization suddenly dawned on Raeleigh and she asked, "You mean, your family..."
"By now, my grandmother would have probably heard about what happened to Deanna. Now, there are two things you have to be mentally prepared for. The first thing is to meet my grandmother, and the second thing is to come clean to her about your relationship with Jepherson."
Raeleigh frowned and said, "There is nothing going on between your brother and me."
"You are smart," Santiago said, raising his hand. Raeleigh's heart was racing. She could not bring herself to calm down.
She had already fallen into a crisis because of this matter. She was also not sure what to do.
Santiago briefly glanced at Scarlette and said, "When my grandmother asks about this later, tell her that I'm interested in Raeleigh and that I want her to be my wife."
"What?"
Scarlette was slightly stunned. Raeleigh looked at Santiago quietly. Santiago laughed evilly and said, "Jepherson is a good man. My grandmother isn't worried about him finding a wife. However, I'm different. She will be very happy if someone is willing to marry me. You might come off as a weirdo in my grandmother's eyes."
"However, you have to be mentally prepared. Due to the relationship between the Richards family and Whalen family, my grandmother will most likely ask me to give you up to be with Zorion."
"I can tell you that now we are in a united front. If you do not help me, then I will not help you. If you make a mess, then no one will take care of you, so..."
