Chapter 1694
"Jacky has arrived."
Flynt was watching the financial report when his servant came in from the door and reported to him. Flynt glanced at his servant and asked, "Jacky?"
"Yes, he brought Deanna along."
Flynt tossed the remote control in his hand to the side. "Jepherson is not here. Why did he come then?"
"I'm not sure."
Flynt had not gone out in the past few days. Ever since he threw Raeleigh into the forest, he had been waiting for Jepherson to come and find him. Until today, Jepherson still had yet to come. He did not expect that Jacky would find him instead.
Flynt remained seated. He knew very well why Jacky had come. He came because of Deanna.
In the end, they were still able to figure out that he was the one who sent Laila to find Deanna.
Flynt then said, "Go ahead and invite them in."
Following that, his servant went down and invited Jacky and Deanna in. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Deanna was carrying a fruit basket in her hand when she entered the door. Although there were only a few, they carefully selected them.
"Mr. Scott, Miss Whalen, please."
The servant invited them. Jacky and Deanna swiftly entered the house. Deanna then said to Flynt, "It's apple harvesting season in Waverly Village. I've specially brought a few over for you to taste,
Mr. Moore."
Flynt, who was originally sitting, stood up when he heard Deanna's words. He personally accepted the fruit basket and placed it on the table. "I've always wanted to try the apples from Waverly Village. I heard they don't use pesticides. I didn't expect that Mr. Scott and Miss Whalen would personally bring them over to me. Thanks a lot."
"Please have a seat, Mr. Scott, Miss Whalen."
Jacky did not stand on ceremony. He walked to the side and sat down. Deanna sat right next to him.
"Make some tea."
Flynt instructed and Jacky said, "We don't use pesticides on our apples. So, you can just eat it without washing."
Deanna reached out and opened the basket. She took out one apples and took a bite. Then, she showed it to Flynt.
Flynt was stunned for a moment. Then, he forced
a smile.
Deanna said, "Mr. Moore, why don't you try one?"
Flynt took one and hesitated for a bit. In the end, he still took a bite. Only then did Deanna say, "This apple is very sweet."
"Yes, it is."
Flynt took one bite and did not dare to continue eating. Instead, he looked at Jacky and asked, "Mr. Scott, what brings you here today?"
"Oh, nothing really. I just thought of you when I passed by and I happened to have some apples in the car. So, I decided to bring them over for you."
"Is that so?"
After hearing Jacky's words, Flynt could only pick up the apple and take another bite.
He enjoyed talking while munching on the apples.
It was not long before Deanna finished her apple. She threw the core away before returning to her seat and watched as Flynt ate his apple. After a while, she stood up and pulled Jacky. She said, "I think it's time we make a move. Didn't you say you want to drop by the university?"
"Oh, that's right."
Jacky stood up. Flynt then asked, "You're heading over to the university? This late?" "Yes, only because it's this late. A student named
Laila suddenly disappeared. Everyone's helping to look for her."
"Is that so?"
Rage churned inside of Flynt. Sure enough, this matter had shaken the world.
"Tell me if you need anything. I'll help you."
"There's no need. We'll call the police if we fail to find her."
Jacky turned around and led Deanna out of the house. Flynt wanted to vent his hatred.
As a result, before he could vent, his stomach started churning. Flynt held his stomach and stared at the apple before tossing it aside. Then, he made a beeline for the bathroom.
Deanna walked out of the door and dusted off her hands. She turned around and saw Flynt rushing to the bathroom.
The next morning, as soon as Deanna stepped into school, she heard that Laila got into car accident and died on the spot.
Deanna immediately called Raeleigh.
By the time Raeleigh received Deanna's call, she had already heard about the news, but she was not surprised that Flynt was capable of doing this.
This incident proved how vicious he was. He even dared to kill his own people.
As soon as Laila was gone, no one approached Deanna at all.
Raeleigh also felt that she was getting better day by day.
"I want you to help me tomorrow."
Jepherson had been busy with the launch of the new car recently. He intended to ask Raeleigh to follow him to the office, but she was unwilling.
"I don't think I've fully recovered. If you want me to help you, I can help you from here. I'm not going to follow you into the office."
"What about Stuart's wedding?"
"I'll attend the wedding. After all, I did my part."
Raeleigh refused to follow Jepherson, so he had to go into the office by himself. Jepherson was worried about Raeleigh staying at home alone, so he asked Stuart and Lucy to accompany her while he went into the office.
However, not long after Jepherson left, Marissa's car arrived at the hotel. She got out of the car and headed into the hotel. Before she could enter, the hotel staff quickly informed Stuart.
Marissa brought a few people with her. She went up, grabbed his phone and threw it on the ground.
When Reese saw that the situation was going south, she immediately called Jepherson. However, the phone was silent and she could only hear the voices on the other side but they could not hear her. Furthermore, Marissa walked quickly, so she did not pay attention to Reese.
Raeleigh was watching TV in her room. She had nothing to do and did not go out. Lucy had been busy sending out invitations for the past few days. Raeleigh offered her help since she had nothing to do anyways.
Lucy immediately accepted her offer. She and Raeleigh were friends. As long as Raeleigh offered help, she would gladly accept it.
Raeleigh could also help with the rest of the things as well.
Stuart brought over some candies and little boxes for Raeleigh to pack. He had bought a lot of candies to give out to his guests. Stuart and Lucy decided to send out the invitation cards themselves while Raeleigh packed the candies.
The three of them watched TV as they worked. They were happy to have some leisure time.
Hearing the knock on the door, Raeleigh stood up and walked over. She looked through the peephole to see who it was. Stuart walked over and said, "Let me do it."
Raeleigh said, "It's the manager."
Raeleigh opened the door and was greeted with a slap on her face.
Raeleigh froze for a moment and took a couple steps backwards. She suddenly realised that the person in front of her wasn't the manager, it was Marissa.
Marissa said with a poker face, "I came to check whether you've left. I didn't expect you to still be here."
Raeleigh looked at the manager outside the door. The manager's face was pale. He dared not say a word. Raeleigh knew that Marissa was the one in charge of the Richards family. Even if Jepherson was here, the manager would still bring Marissa up to the room.
"Do you need me to ask you to leave or are you going to leave on your own?" Marissa had no intentions to be polite to Raeleigh.
Raeleigh looked over at Stuart and said, "Can you please help me pack up?"
"You're not allowed to bring anything with you but yourself. You are just slut. You have no rights to be here!" Marissa walked towards Raeleigh and slapped her again. Raeleigh raised her head and fixed her eyes on Marissa, who asked, "What are you looking at? Am I wrong?"
Raeleigh did not answer. She wanted to leave, but Marissa pulled Raeleigh's arm and pushed her to the ground. "I dare you to walk out of here in your birthday suit. How dare you even think of marrying into the Richards family even without considering your own virtue? You might be able to deceive Jepherson with your beauty, but I think you are delusional. If a person like you can marry into our family, then there must be something seriously wrong with our family."
