Chapter 1771 Return Home
“Haven’t you found her yet?”
Jepherson got out of the car, without a trace of anger on his face. He could not blame Jacky for Raeleigh’s disappearance because his own men did not protect her as well. What right did he have to blame others?
Jacky walked out of Waverly Village and stopped when he saw Jepherson. “We managed to obtain the footage from the CCTV. She left with Crevor and they were heading towards the Helgen Group.”
“The business center?”
“Yes. We weren’t able to track down where he went after entering the business centre, but it turns out that Crevor did not show up at the Helgen Group. So, it means that this isn’t Crevor’s doing. Something must have happened along the way.”
“Get in the car first.”
Jepherson and Stuart immediately got into the car. Jacky could not interfere with this matter, lest it caused unnecessary trouble. It meant that Jepherson would have to look for Raeleigh himself.
Zorion sent out a search party last night as soon as he received the news, but Raeleigh still could not be found.
Jepherson rubbed his eyebrows as he sat in the car. It had been three days since he last slept.
If it wasn’t Crevor, then who was it?
“Stuart, I need you to go back home to Madam Marissa. I want you to test her and see if she knows where Raeleigh is.”
Stuart paused for a moment. “Mr. Richards, are you suspecting that its Madam Marissa?”
Jepherson could only suspect now.
Stuart immediately returned to the Richards Group Manor and hurried inside. He almost knocked down the servants when he bumped into them. Lucy emerged from the house and asked Stuart, “What’s going on?”
Stuart immediately said, “Raeleigh is missing.”
“What?”
Lucy had never left the Richards Group Manor ever since the day she became the housekeeper. However, when Raeleigh came, Lucy went back to her family home and they failed to cross paths until now.
When Lucy heard that Raeleigh had disappeared, her heart was in her mouth. Stuart said hastily, “I came back to grab something, then I’ll leave. Don’t tell anyone you saw me.”
Stuart gripped Lucy’s hand tightly. She immediately understood what was going on.
However, she did not forget to ask, “Is it true?”
“Yes.”
The relationship between Lucy and Stuart was different. They could communicate by eye contact. When she heard his firm answer, she immediately understood what was going on.
Lucy then immediately led Stuart back to the house. After they left, one of the servant immediately went to find Marissa.
“Is this really the case?”
Marissa asked the person who came to report. The person who immediately told her that she heard it with her own ears and judging by Stuart’s reaction, it was definitely true.
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s fake or not. It’s good that she’s missing. It would be best if she died and never came back.”
Marissa smirked. The rest of the servants lowered their heads.
Of course, they were not from the same family. After sending Stuart off, Lucy immediately received the news.
As soon as Stuart got into the car, he received Lucy’s call. He looked over at Jepherson and told him the situation. Jepherson ordered the driver to start the car. They spent the entire day driving around Capital City.
On the way, they met Zorion’s car. The two cars stopped at one side. Zorion opened Jepherson’s car door and said, “One of my men found out that she’s in the Doyle family’s villa. It’s up to you to figure out how you’re going to break her out from there.”
Zorion left after saying that. Jepherson sat in the car and did not get out. After a long time, Jepherson said to Stuart, “I want you to release a statement saying that Raeleigh was kidnapped and that we’re now looking for the culprit. I want you to put up a bounty on the person’s head.”
“Mr. Jepherson…”
“Do as I say.”
“What if something happens? What if they kill her?”
“Since the Doyle family kidnapped her, then I doubt they would kill her. Even if they want to, it’s too late.”
“I want them to bring her back the same way they took her away.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
“Meanwhile, we’ll wait for them at the entrance of Waverly Village.”
Jepherson was confident that the Doyle family would not dare to do anything to Raeleigh at this time.
…
“Does Jepherson really think that I am afraid of him? He accused us of kidnapping? How funny! I want you to kill that girl for me.”
Geraldine was holding a tablet in her hand, while the local news was being aired on the TV.
The contents of the news were about Raeleigh’s kidnapping. A reward has been put out for the capture of Raeleigh’s kidnapper.
The person beside Geraldine said, “Grandma, I don’t think we should act rashly and alert the enemy. Since we started it, then I think we should send her back. Even if she went back, I doubt she would tell anyone that we kidnapped her. If she did, then we shall not admit it. That way, people would think that she’s imagining things.
If something really happened and they found out that we did it, wouldn’t we be in more trouble?”
Geraldine glanced at her grandson beside her. “You’re right.”
“Then, I’ll let her go now, alright?”
Geraldine waved a dismissive hand and said, “Go ahead. We have no choice but to let her go. After all, we were caught by Jepherson.”
“Alright then… ”
While Raeleigh was resting, two people came and unlocked the iron door to set Raeleigh and Crevor free.
Crevor emerged from the cell and looked at the two men. “What happened?”
Raeleigh was also stunned when she heard Crevor’s question. She thought to herself, “Why was he asking such a question? Was he nuts? Did he really enjoy being locked up?”
“Madam Geraldine asked you to drop her back at Waverly Village.”
Then they left. Raeleigh followed Crevor out of the dungeon.
Raeleigh did not eat or drink for several days. She had no strength to walk and she had also lost a lot of weight.
Raeleigh had to used every ounce of energy to walk out of the dungeon. As it was too dark below, Raeleigh covered her eyes with her hands as soon as she saw the light.
Crevor took off his coat and wrapped it around Raeleigh.
“It’s cold outside.”
Raeleigh took off the coat and returned it to Crevor. “I’m not cold.”
“Please behave…”
“Can you walk me out?”
Raeleigh turned around and left, leaving Crevor to follow her outside. When they arrived at the gate of the villa, Raeleigh saw an approaching car, so she quickly stopped the car and got into it without looking at Crevor.
This was the last time. Raeleigh would kill herself if this ever happened again.
The driver looked at Raeleigh’s face carefully and immediately recognised her. He did not care whether she wanted to go to Waverly Village or not, he was just going to drop her off there.
Raeleigh did not say anything, thinking that the driver was Jacky’s men.
However, when the car pulled up outside Waverly Village, Raeleigh realised that the driver was not Jacky’s subordinate. Instead, he was here to collect his reward.
Before Raeleigh got out of the car, she saw the driver went to the register and pointed towards the car. Jacky looked at the car for a brief moment then ordered someone to take the money before walking towards the car.
When Jacky arrived at the car, he bent down and pulled open the car door.
Raeleigh came out of the car and paused for a moment. Then, she looked over at the Richards family car, which was parked at one side. Jepherson immediately opened the door, got out of the car and walked towards Raeleigh.
