Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1821

"There's no way I'll leave without getting to the bottom of it. Madam, you only need to tell me whether this matter has anything to do with you."

Marissa shot daggers at Raeleigh. "Who died and left you in charge?"

Raeleigh answered, "I was the victim in that fire and many people in the orphanage had been murdered for nothing."

Marissa could not retain her composure. She stood up and pointed her finger at Raeleigh. "Get out of here right now. Get lost."

Trevor focused his eyes on Marrisa. "Did you really do it?"

Marissa looked back at him slowly as he asked, "Why did you do it?"

Trembling, she looked at Trevor. "Did I have a choice? At that time, the Osteen family had been looking for her everywhere. If they found her, they would get to us, then everything our family had achieved would go up in smoke. I didn't mean to take the child away. I was also a victim. What should I do?"

Marissa sobbed it out while Trevor's face turned pale. He asked her, "Did you decide to set that fire on your own, or did the Doyle family deliberately incite you to do it?"

"The Doyle family didn't ask me to set the fire, but they told me that the child was still alive, asking me why I sent the child to the orphanage. Back then, I was beguiled by them into believing that they had goodwill, so I ordered someone to set the fire. I didn't mean it. Do you understand?"

"Marissa." It had been many years since Trevor last called her in such a way, which made her weepy.

Trevor said, "You've known it since forever that Raeleigh was the child who escaped from that deadly fire?"

"Yes, I've long known it."

"Therefore, you find fault with everything she does because you don't want her to marry into our family?"

"How am I supposed to let her marry into our family? It was me who had taken her away and lost her. She wound up in an orphanage. After I plotted the fire, she didn't die, but so many other people were killed. Do you think it was easy for me to handle the guilt? Everything should have come to an end, but she was alive and intended to marry into our family. If so, she would show herself in front of me all day long. How could I tolerate that?" "You couldn't tolerate it, huh? What about those people who had died? What about the Osteen family? Could they put up with it?" Trevor got up and questioned Marissa loudly. Marissa shook her head and sat down on the sofa.

At this moment, Hansen and Jenna entered the living room. They waved their hands and gestured to the servants to leave. The situation had already gone out of control. No one had foreseen that things would go on in such a way.

"Raeleigh." NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Jepherson stood behind his parents. Raeleigh looked back at him and said, "I'm here to verify if your grandmother was the one behind that horrendous fire. I don't intend to do anything else. It's time to put the lid on this matter.

I'm leaving. Please excuse me."

Raeleigh turned around to leave. Lenold, who stood outside, cleared his throat to remind her. He felt disinclined to pass Austin's message by himself as he didn't want to offend anyone.

Raeleigh recalled the message. She turned around and gazed at Marissa, "I've a message for you. I've already acknowledged and regarded Austin as my elder brother for several years. Before I came here, he asked me to tell you that he won't let me marry into the Richards family in your lifetime, so don't you worry in the future. Also, I wish you a long life."

With that, Raeleigh turned and went outside. When she passed by the door, Jepherson called her, "Raeleigh."

Raeleigh stopped in her tracks. "You only have to focus on treating your illness and nursing yourself back to health. Henceforth, we're even. I'm going to Green House now. I'll bring Shaney over here for you to have a look."

After Raeleigh finished her words, she left, leaving Jepherson standing by the door and staring blankly at her back.

Lenold also stopped and said, "Take good care of yourself. Bye."

After Raeleigh left, Jepherson swept his eyes to Marissa. Now that the truth had come to light, there was nothing left to say.

Jepherson walked back on his own and Jenna followed behind him. The entire Richards family had been surrounded by a sense of gloominess. Jenna felt so impotent at the moment. It never occurred to her that Marissa would do such a thing. She doubted if Marissa was senile since she was still young more than a decade ago.

Returning home, Jepherson said that he wanted to have some food. In response to this, Jenna went to prepare a meal for him in a trice. After having his meal and getting the injection, Jepherson stopped talking and laid down on the bed.

As the shocking incident had been revealed, a pouring rain came just in time, covering the whole Richards family. This day, lifelessness and glumness reigned over the Richards family.

At night, the rain got heavier. However, Trevor ordered the chauffeur to wait with the car in the yard. Then, he came out of the house with his luggage.

Behind him was Marissa, who was holding an umbrella. Someone was looking after her, but she appeared to be downcast.

Hansen knitted his brow slightly. After all, she was his mother. No matter what unpardonable wrongdoings she had done, Hansen would not give up on her.

"Isn't going back now-"

"It's okay. Don't worry about us."

In the end, Trevor still took Marisa away. It was late at night and raining cats and dogs. Getting into the car, Trevor instructed the chauffeur to drive away.

The roads in Capital City were rather flat and everything was fine. But on the way, the rain was so heavy that it was terrifying. Coupled with the stuffy atmosphere in the car, Marissa began to feel uncomfortable. She turned and tossed about in the car, breaking out in a sweat.

At first, Trevor did not pay attention to it. Later, he could not bear seeing her suffer. Hence he inquired about what was wrong with her. Marissa told him that she was feeling hot and she screamed. She said there was someone behind Trevor. She screamed and screamed while holding her head.

She had been talking nonsense all along the way. Arriving at A City, Trevor took her to the hospital, where the diagnosis showed that she had gone insane.

The instruments were reliable and could tell if someone had lost their mind effectively.

Trevor hoped that Marissa was pretending, but his hope dashed when he got her medical report.

Sitting down, he started to daydream and close his eyes slowly.

Marissa ran around in the room, asking those things not to come near her.

By the time Hansen and his wife came, it was already three days later. Jepherson, who had been recuperating quite well over the past few days, was also with them. Seeing Marissa, all of them were astounded.

Jenna looked lugubrious. "How could it be so sudden?"

"The results suggest that she's gone mad, but I've this hunch that this may be a retribution. So many people died in that fire, which one of them will be willing to let your mother off?"

Trevor stood up and entered the room while Marissa had been slumping in the corner. She did not get up. It took him a long time to lift her up and bring her out.

"I'll take your mom to see other doctors. Just leave it to me and stay out of this."

"What kind of other doctors?" After Trevor left, Jenna went to ask Hansen, who then replied, "Like witch doctors or shamans."

Jenna frowned. "Such superstitious beliefs."

"Leave it to Dad. He must have a plan."

It was another night with torrential rain. Raeleigh stood in the room and gazed at the heavy rain outside. At the same time, she was looking at the two people having fun on the bed too.

Santiago held Shaney in his arms, telling stories. Shaney disliked the stories told by others, but she liked the ones Santiago told her. What could Raeleigh do?

Raeleigh watched for a short time and turned back to lie down on the bed. But she could not fall asleep anymore after she woke up with a jolt in the light of a nightmare.
