Chapter 1752 Physical Abuse
The old housekeeper ran over and wiped away his tears. "Miss..."
"I'm fine, you just need to know one thing."
Raeleigh's voice was low enough that nobody around her could hear what she said.
The old housekeeper said, "Tell me, Miss Raeleigh."
"If I go in, I will come out alive, but Jared will undoubtedly die if he goes in."
Raeleigh looked pointedly at the old housekeeper. When the police cars and ambulance arrived, she
added, "Look after Jared and don't let him come out. Send someone to protect him, lest he gets hurt
when I'm not around.
If Xanthus' phone can't be put through, keep calling, call until it's connected."
"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, Miss Raeleigh, you'll be alright."
"I hope so."
Raeleigh fidgeted on where she sat, she then leaned sideways and took out her phone to call
Jepherson.
Jepherson immediately answered the phone. On the other end of the call, Jepherson had just awoke.
"Did you miss me?"
Jepherson chuckled. It was rare for her to take the initiative and call him.
"I'm in trouble. I crashed into Crevor's car. The driver is now unconscious and may die."
Jepherson was about to drink some water when Raeleigh's words penetrated through his mind and
caused the glass to slip out his hand and smashed against the floor.
"And Jared?"
"He's injured. I'm hanging up!"
Raeleigh hung up the phone. Jepherson swiftly headed towards the door as he bellowed, "Stuart,
Stuart..."
Stuart rushed in and stood stock still at the sight of Jepherson. "Mr. Harvey."
"Book a plane ticket. Raeleigh is in trouble."
Jepherson threw his phone aside and began to change his clothes.
...
When the police arrived, Raeleigh had just restored the phone to its factory setting. Everything inside
was wiped away instantly. Raeleigh then just sat there with her eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep.
After the police took note of the situation, they requested for Raeleigh to get out of the car.
The officer took out a pair of handcuffs to cuff her when the old housekeeper immediately came over
and stopped them. "Her hand is injured. Don't handcuff her. Please, she's still recovering."
The police officers were all foreigners, hence they had a hard time understanding him which worried
the old housekeeper.
"I'm sorry but I'm just following the rules," the officer said in their native language. Raeleigh had no
choice but to raise her hand.
Just as the handcuff was about to close around her wrist, Crevor rushed over speaking the foreign
language fluently. "I'm sorry. She and I were the ones who crashed into each other. Handcuff us both, is
that okay? I know your Superintendent. You can call him and check."
When they heard his explanation, they finally agreed to handcuff Raeleigh on one hand. Nevertheless,
the still have rules and orders to follow, therefore they can't compromise too much.
They still took Raeleigh into the police car and cuffed the other end of the handcuff to a bar that was
inside.
Then the police car drove off to the local station as Crevor followed in their wake, the crash scene
being taken care of.
Raeleigh had her statement taken when Crevor arrived at the police station together with another
person.
Raeleigh sat to one side with her hands on the armrest as two foreign police officers interrogated her.
Raeleigh talked to the officers in their language fluently. She stated that she couldn't stand the fact that
someone's car had blocked her way into her own home, which was why in a moment of impulsiveness
she rammed the car forward. But it was unintentional, just a moment of anger.
The police didn't say much after that, it depended on what Crevor would say.
The driver had been sent to the hospital. If he were to live, Raeleigh could get out of this situation
without a problem if she applied for bail but no one was clear as to the driver's condition.
Raeleigh was locked up after she had been interrogated.
"She's not in good health. You can't lock her up." Crevor immediately stood up when he saw Raeleigh
being taken away. He couldn't let her be stuck inside a cell.
The officer only spared a pitiful glance at him as he could do nothing but to follow the standard
procedure, even Crevor had little authority over this matter.
Raeleigh was put behind bars. There were two women inside the single cell. Both of them were plump
with blond hair and tattoos all over their bodies.
When they saw fresh blood in their cell, they immediately stood up with the intention to put Raeleigh in
her place.
Raeleigh just sat there with the handcuffs around one of her wrists, not entirely immobile.
Once one of them came over, Raeleigh immediately looked at her .
However, the blonde wasn't afraid of her. They went as far as to insult her in her own language. They
called Raeleigh a wildcat and forced her to take off her pants to show them her butt. They wanted her
to suffer like they did.
The vulgar words could not be clearly understood, but Raeleigh got the clear gist of it.
Raeleigh looked towards the blonde fTristanessly. She had been to Green House and survived. Why
should she worry about them?
One of them wanted to grab Raeleigh's hair when they came over. This was a trick. Raeleigh shot up
from her seat and swung the handcuff out into the woman's eye. They didn't expect Raeleigh to be so
bold as she was much shorter than them. For her to suddenly attack them had caught them off their
guard.
"Ah!" The plump woman cried out as she covered her eyes with her hands. Raeleigh brought the
handcuff back to her side, drops of blood dripped down from it.
Raeleigh peered at the two women opposite but did not go over. She just returned to her seat with the
handcuffs on and stared nonchalantly at a spot in front of her.
The injured woman screamed and cursed, while the other one was a little scared. Raeleigh's
momentum at that time was truly frightening.
At the same time, Raeleigh's lawyer had arrived. Jepherson also had people go over and bail her out of
police custody.
Xanthus still couldn't be reached. Jepherson walked towards the security check while he gritted his
teeth.
Stuart followed behind him and with a nervous thumping in his chest.
This was a first for him.
Stuart understood that some trouble had occurred on foreign soil. On the contrary to what was
expected, they had no influence in the foreign countries. No one would know what would happen even
if some would say otherwise.
Plus they had no one in their corner.
Raeleigh's people had just arrived and were about to go through the legal proceedings when someone
hastily came up and reported that there was a commotion inside the cell.
When everyone came upon the scene, they were scared out of their wits. No one had expected
Raeleigh would have done something like this. However, the system here was different compared to
the system there. When the policemen saw that Raeleigh was the culprit, they would put her in the cell
with no questions asked, and swung their batons down at her. Raeleigh immediately crouched down
and protected her head. Even so, she was beaten to within an inch of her life.
Crevor was outside when he felt something was wrong. He immediately demanded to see Raeleigh
and that was the sole reason she was saved.
However, by the time Raeleigh was brought out, she was black and blue all over
At the sight of Raeleigh's condition, Crevor rushed over just as Raeleigh started to feel dizzy. He hadn't
reached her side when she was unable to hold on anymore. Her vision turned dark as her body
collapsed onto the ground. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Crevor took Raeleigh's hand in his and held her in his arms.
"Raeleigh... Raeleigh..."
No matter how Crevor called her, Raeleigh did not respond. Crevor's face darkened and he glared at
the policemen. "This is illegal!"
Crevor spoke in the local language, and the anger on his face was undisguised, and even ferocious.
Raeleigh's lawyers had also gathered around. When they saw her injured state, they proceeded to
squat down and unbutton the top half of her clothes, gently flip her over only for the color to drain from
their faces at the sight of dark contusions on her back.
After they got up, they immediately issued a statement that they were going to bring this to court.
Crevor bent over to pick Raeleigh up, ordered someone to take over the issue and carried Raeleigh out
of the station.
