Raeleigh and Scarlette soon arrived at Aeon Computer Center. They got out of the car and Scarlette immediately led Raeleigh inside. It was almost closing time. Like many other retail shops, Aeon Computer Center closed at nine o'clock at night. It was nearly eight o'clock by the time Raeleigh and Scarlette reached. After checking the time several times, Stuart whispered in Jepherson's ear, "It closes at nine o'clock." Jepherson continued reading Raeleigh's book. He didn't even raise his head when he heard what Stuart had to say, and merely said calmly, "Call them and have them delay their closing time." "Right away," Stuart replied and instantly went to make the call. Just as he was calling the computer center, Scarlette received a message. Then, she brought Raeleigh to the designated store. "Here, it's here." Scarlette pointed at one of the stores, pulling Raeleigh along. Raeleigh followed obediently. Both of them went into the store, which specialized in laptop

Raeleigh didn't know when she fell asleep. However, when she woke up in the morning, she was in Jepherson's arms. They still had their pajamas on them. What's more, Jepherson was lying flat on his back, and she was the one hugging him. Feeling a little bewildered, Raeleigh hurriedly disentangled herself from Jepherson's embrace, waking him up in the process. When Jepherson awoke, he didn't say a word. He merely looked at Raeleigh as he lay in bed. If it was not because his phone started to ring, he wouldn't have gotten up. Raeleigh had been in a daze for more than ten minutes when Jepherson got down from the bed to get his phone. It was Horacio calling, the president of Elkton University. He had called specially to ask Jepherson about the incident at the school. Jepherson gestured towards the curtains. Raeleigh noticed that the light outside the window was shining directly onto Jepherson's face. He probably found it blinding. They didn't close the curtains

After packing up her things, Deanna returned to Raeleigh's dorm room. She had so much stuff that they took up two beds. Her luggage alone was more than Raeleigh's and Scarlette's combined, but there was nothing they could do about that. After putting away her things, Deanna said to Zorion, "Zorion, I want a laptop like Raeleigh's. Can you buy one for me too?" "I'll get it for you in the afternoon," Zorion replied, patting Deanna on the head. He would promise her the world if he could. Pleased, Deanna took out the delicious snacks she had brought to share with Scarlette and Raeleigh. Raeleigh didn't have any, but Scarlette tucked in without hesitation. She knew that Deanna's family were well off, so this was nothing to them. She might as well just eat the snacks and not let them go to waste. Scarlette took a packet of beef jerky and began munching on it. Deanna found a packet of jelly and held it out to Raeleigh. "You should eat some too. There's no harm in eatin

Raeleigh headed back to her dorm room. Opening the door, she saw Scarlette, who looked like she was about to doze off. Raeleigh couldn't care less. Deanna began to panic. She was afraid that Raeleigh would be mad as they did not leave some food for her. Before Raeleigh returned, they had been talking to each other as if nothing had happened. Deanna stood up immediately when she saw Raeleigh. "Raeleigh, you're back." Raeleigh nodded, walked to her bed, then fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. Scarlette shook her head. She was that tired! Not long after that, Zorion came in. When he saw Raeleigh sleeping, he couldn't help but walk over to take a look. Raeleigh was exhausted and could not be woken. Zorion was also feeling worn out. He took off his shoes and laid next to Raeleigh. He rested his head on his arms and dozed off in no time. Feeling anxious, Scarlette wanted to wake Zorion up. However, Deanna objected and covered them

Raeleigh was taken to a hotel. The car stopped at the entrance and Jepherson alighted with Raeleigh. She glanced at Scarlette, the look in her eyes explained it all. She was not given the chance to turn down his offer. "Let's go," Jepherson turned and walked into the hotel. The hotel manager bowed when he saw him. He had seen Raeleigh several times and his impression of her was that she was a soft-spoken woman. She had an aura of nobility and grace about her. Mr. Jepherson had good taste in women indeed. Maybe she will be his wife in the future. However, he knew that the Richards family was one of the most affluent families in Capital City. It might be a torment for an ordinary woman like her to marry into such a family. Everyone knew that the Richards family had many mistresses. Jepherson walked past the manager, who had his head bowed, and into the lobby. Suddenly, he came to a stop, turned around, and shot a death stare at the manager. "This hotel needs
