Chapter 1285 Raeleigh Knows The Password
Zorion looked at Raeleigh and then at Santiago. He scoffed, "You're still young. How old are you? You are making a big mistake. She's..."
"I know what I'm doing. You don't have to tell me. Do you remember when my father would take us out to play?"
"Once, he told us that there were gems buried on a hill, and all of us ran up to grab some for ourselves. All of you brought back a gem, but I was the only one who came back with an ordinary stone." "You looked at me strangely and thought that I was too young to understand."
"Now, let me tell you why."
"Even though all of you have gems, I wasn't envious of any of you because I had something that was more beautiful and precious than a gem. Even though she is not the best, I am still willing to be there for her."
Scarlette walked on the snow and gazed at Raeleigh whose expression had softened. She stared at Raeleigh's exceedingly beautiful face and couldn't say anything.
Zorion laughed and slowly got to his feet with a scoff, "Then I'll watch you and your brother tear each other apart."
Then, he turned around and returned to the car. As the car door was still open, Zorion looked at Santiago and warned, "There's nothing wrong with being young and frivolous, but you're backing the wrong person."
Zorion looked at Raeleigh. At that moment, she averted her eyes and looked at Santiago. Santiago only laughed in response, "I don't mind even if I've gotten the wrong person. Please leave. Deanna is safe at my place. At the very least, she won't go on a hunger strike."
Zorion's expression turned increasingly grim, "I'm going to the hospital."
Santiago gestured towards the exit, indicating that they should leave that instant. Zorion then ordered someone to close the door.
His forehead was covered with sweat as the car drove away, and his breathing was ragged and heavy. He glanced at Rossie, who looked very unhappy. Slowly, he moved to hold her hand, muttering "Don't
go."
After saying that, he lost consciousness and leaned on her shoulder.
Rossie was very uncomfortable right now. In fact, she was probably much more uncomfortable than anyone else, but she didn't move her hand away.
When the car arrived at the hospital, some of Zorion's men helped him out, while a few more men accompanied Rossie inside. They were worried that she would run away before Zorion woke up.
After they left, Santiago turned around and returned to the villa. After he walked in, he prepared to have breakfast. Raeleigh sat across from him and kept staring at him unconsciously. However, he lowered his head and looked at the food in front of him. While he ate, he said, "Deanna isn't feeling well and needs a doctor."
Xanthus sat down and ate as well, answering, "I'll take a look at her after dinner."
After dinner, Raeleigh changed her clothes and was ready to go to the company. On the other hand, Santiago had already changed his clothes. Meanwhile, Xanthus had finished checking up on Deanna. As he came down from upstairs, his expression was strange.
"Is it serious?" Santiago was waiting for Xanthus downstairs. Xanthus hesitated for a moment and didn't give him an answer. After a while, he sighed, "We'd better discuss this together Jacky should hear this too."
Xanthus packed his things and went downstairs to wait for them. Raeleigh felt that something was wrong and walked over to Xanthus, whispering, "What's wrong?"
"I think I know why Zorion wanted to take Deanna away."
Before Raeleigh could respond, Xanthus patted Raeleigh on the shoulder and said gently, "Please ask Jacky to come down."
"No, I'll go."
With that, Santiago went upstairs and knocked on the door, quickly asking, "Come down."
After saying that, Santiago went down with Jacky behind him. A while later, Jacky asked Xanthus in confusion "Why are you asking about her period?"
Raeleigh was surprised. Just then, she thought of something and looked at Santiago. Santiago sat down and crossed his legs, silent.
Xanthus explained, "You'd better take her to the hospital. Based on my experience, she might be pregnant, but it's hard to say. After all, I'm an orthopedic surgeon, not a gynecologist."
Jacky's face froze. After hesitating for a moment, he quickly ran up the stairs. Behind him, Santiago turned his head back nonchalantly, as though this wasn't a big deal.
Raeleigh looked at him and asked, "You're not bothered about this?"
"The baby isn't mine. What's there to be bothered about? The person who should be happy is the baby's father," The corner of Santiago's lips was curled upwards. He didn't know how happy Jacky was right now, but he guessed that Jacky was probably ecstatic.
Raeleigh kept quiet and shot a glance towards the stairs. After the door upstairs closed with a thud, she decided to tell Xanthus, "I'm going to work now."
"Be careful."
"Alright."
Raeleigh looked at Santiago, who stood up and headed out with her. Scarlette was pregnant and couldn't be out in the snow, so she had to stay at home. However, Hadrian was different. He had to protect Raeleigh.
Santiago knocked on the steering wheel and pointed at Hadrian, threatening, "Don't follow us, or you'll suffer the consequences."
Hadrian stood at the door and insisted, "I wouldn't dare disobeying Jepherson."
"I can prevent you from seeing Scarlette for the rest of your life, dare to prove me wrong?"
Raeleigh sat in the passenger seat and was speechless at Santiago's threat. Santiago and Hadrian had lived together before. Thus, it was out of her expectations for Santiago to be so threatening to someone he knew so personally.
Hadrian's face turned pale as he stood there for a while, but didn't follow them afterwards.
Santiago started the car and then drove to the company.
When they arrived, Raeleigh got out of the car. Santiago parked the car and followed her inside. Raeleigh took a deep breath before walking in, her stress levels rising with each step she took.
In the past, Raeleigh wouldn't have been bothered about anyone nor anything. Yet, she would feel extremely pressured now even at the very thought of going to work.
Santiago stood beside her and looked at Raeleigh, asking, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing."
Raeleigh opened the door and went in. Santiago watched her from behind and followed her in.
After they entered the elevator, Raeleigh intended to go back to her old office. However, when she was about to press the button heading to her floor in the elevator, Santiago intercepted her and quickly pressed the button heading to Lamarre's office.
Raeleigh glanced at him, "We haven't explained the situation to the company yet, we shouldn't cross..."
"I'm the general manager. Is it necessary for me to explain this to them? My identity alone should be enough. Lamarre's position is now yours. From now on, you are the chief car designer for the company, and you have full control over the design team."
Santiago said this calmly while Raeleigh was stunned. After a moment, the elevator doors swung open. Santiago stepped out with his hands in his pockets. He looked like a proud gRhys wolf as he strutted onto the corridors with his head held high confidently.
Raeleigh followed him out. The moment she stepped out, she saw Santiago fiddling with Lamarre's office door. He twisted it twice but failed to open it. Raeleigh walked to him and checked the lock on the door before sighing, "It needs a password."
Since this was the chief designer's office, one would need the password to get in. After all, not just anyone was allowed to enter freely. However, Raeleigh knew the password.
