Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1665

Emerging from the car, Raeleigh turned to look at Jepherson and found a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. He shot a glance at the chauffeur. "Who's behind us?"

"The Moore family's car."

"They sure are getting bolder."

Jepherson turned around and held Raeleigh's hand, striding towards the company. At the same time, a man exited the building. It was none other than Flynt.

Raeleigh was astonished by Flynt's audacity.

"Mr. Richards."

Seeing Jepherson, Flynt took the initiative to greet him, urging Jepherson to stop in his tracks. His eyes fell on Flynt as he sized him up. "What's the matter, Director Moore?"

"Mister, if you must. I'm just a deputy."

"It doesn't matter. May I know your business with us, Mr. Moore?"

"I'm here for Raeleigh; may I have a private conversation with her?" Flynt approached Raeleigh as he spoke. Jepherson did not stop him at once but spoke up when he was close. "Do you think it's appropriate, Mr. Moore? Just because you're the director of Capital City, you think you can put forward such a request to my wife?"

"As far as I know, she isn't your wife." He came prepared; Flynt had investigated them before coming.

"How funny. I established a loving relationship with my fiancee, and we're about to get married. Mr. Moore, don't you think you're crossing the line to request being alone with my fiancee?"

"Mr. Richards, Raeleigh and I are friends. Even if I don't point it out, you should be well aware of it."

"This is ridiculous. I don't know anything. If you have nothing more to say, please take your leave, Mr. Moore, lest you frighten my wife."

Jepherson wrapped his arm around Raeleigh's shoulder and led her into the building. Flynt reached out to pull Raeleigh, alerting Raeleigh to turn and look at him. They were all surprised Flynt was acting so brazenly.

Jepherson stepped in and protected Raeleigh before she could even react by throwing a kick at Flynt.

Jepherson wore a darkened expression when Flynt managed to dodge his attack. A crowd started to gather around them and surround Flynt.

Standing, Jepherson fixed his clothes before slowly looking over at Flynt. "Mr. Moore, you'd better behave yourself. After all, there are quite a lot eyeing this position of yours; I doubt it'll be yours forever. I suggest you watch your back."

"Duly noted. Mr. Richards, let me remind you that trapping an amnesiac woman by your side isn't an act of love, but an act of destruction."

Shooting another glance at Raeleigh, Flynt stepped away.

Jepherson's men left in turn. It was only right then that Raeleigh realized Jepherson had so many bodyguards with him.

After arriving at his office, Jepherson set his jacket aside and slumped into his seat. Shortly after that, Stuart appeared with Lucy, who was dressed in sportswear. It was plain that Stuart had received the news, and he stopped by the office to check on everything since he was perturbed about it.

As Stuart entered, Jepherson shifted his gaze to him, asking, "Why are you here?"

Stuart answered truthfully, "I was nearby when the chauffeur reported Flynt was here and intended to make a move."

"He did come, but nothing happened. Aren't you on a break? Why are you here?"

Jepherson did not appreciate his kind act and was instead disgruntled with Stuart's return.

Stuart ruminated for a bit. "Should we inform the Whalen family?"

"What for? Isn't Zorion back at his studies?"

Rossie was studying in a local institution, and she still had a year before she graduated. Zorion, however, had already graduated.

He had taken over the company, but Jepherson received news that he returned to continue his studies.

Some conjectured that he received a bad grade point, but Jepherson knew he was worried about Rossie.

Stuart gave it a brief thought. "We should, at least, tell Jacky."

"Why should we bother people with our business?"

"We're businessmen while they're government officials. It's tough for us to fight against them." Stuart was somewhat worried. Flynt was no longer the man he used to be; everyone in Capital City had to, right then, show him respect.

Humored, Jepherson commented, "Are you saying I can't afford to offend Flynt?"

"No. It's just that you don't need to have a direct confrontation with him at this point," Stuart said bluntly.

Jepherson knocked on the table. "I didn't provoke him, yet he thinks I'm a wimp to be bullied as he wishes. Stuart, let me tell you that I'm a snakehitter. No matter how cunning a snake is, it will obediently behave in front of me, or it doesn't matter how menacing the snake is, I'll give it a good beating without hesitation if it were to act recklessly."

"Flynt is more influential than before. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to launch an assault at him."

"When have I ever said that I'm going to do that? There are so many out there eager to attack the Moore family; I will never have to do it myself."

"Mr. deperson, what do you mean?"

"Mind your own business. Don't worry about anything else. Isn't your wedding approaching?"

"Then..."

"Leave."

Jepherson waved his hand. Stuart was in no position to say more. He darted a glance at Raeleigh and left.

After Stuart left, Raeleigh settled down on the sofa. She didn't know what was going on, but judging from Jepherson's attitude, she knew he was going to scheme against the Moore family.

Jepherson withdrew a set of chess pieces from the drawer, placed it on the table, and indicated to

Raeleigh for a round.

Raeleigh approached Jepherson and sat across from him, "If I win, you'll have to sleep with me tonight. If you win, you can sleep by yourself." Jepherson said.

"And if I refuse to play?"

"Then you lose."

Raeleigh had no choice but to give in to Jepherson. To her surprise, she won.

Raeleigh's face blossomed with a wide grin. "I won!"

"Do you hate me that much? Who's the one moaning in pleasure when we're making love?"

Raeleigh face fell at Jepherson's words. She stood up and returned to the sofa, demanding, "It's time for me to leave. Let me go."

"Alright, I'm the one infatuated; you're not. Hmm?" © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Raeleigh then glanced over at him, boiling with rage.

As their eyes met, Raeleigh explained, "I will leave sooner or later. Even if you don't let Cynthia go, I will still leave."

"Then stay longer. You're now mine. Call Austin. I want to meet him."

Averting her gaze from him, Raeleigh said, "I don't know where he is, nor do I have his contact."

"Hmph, what kind of husband and wife is this? You don't even know what he's been doing outside, do you?"

Raeleigh's eyes slowly strayed to Jepherson as he spoke. His gaze was fathomless as he squeezed his words through his gnashed teeth, "Would you even know if he cheats on you?"

"He's not that sort of man."

Raeleigh lowered her head and focused on her hands.

"How would you know? You barely know him, yet you're defending him." Jepherson slammed his hand against the table. With a bang, Raeleigh flinched. It wasn't that she was afraid of him, but it was an instinctive reaction. The sudden action made her jump.
