Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1570

Raeleigh did not want to talk about it, but Jepherson kept pressing her to give him an answer.

She knew that only him could help her now.

Jepherson turned around and looked aside, feeling restrained in his outfit. He tugged at the button on his collar forcefully and took off his black necktie. He pulled it over his head and wrung it on the floor.

The silk necktie fell onto the ground and fluttered into the air, blown away by the wind.

Raeleigh had never seen Jepherson losing his composure like this before. It was as if he was so angry he wanted to rip the earth into two.

She didn't know what to do. Her heart was beating anxiously, and tears threatened to fall down her cheeks. However, she held them in.

The two of them refused to give in. Just then, a black SUV emerged from a distance. Raeleigh saw the car and asked, "Are they finally here?"

Jepherson turned around and took a look, both of his hands settling on his thin waist as he welcomed the strong wind blowing toward them. He had unfastened his coat as though he was feeling quite hot and stuffy.

When the car stopped in front of them, Jepherson looked inside. Shortly, Lenold swung open the car door and came out of the car with a briefcase in his hand. Dressed in a black suit and a pair of huge polarized sunglasses on his face, his presence was extremely eye-catching.

Another man appeared behind Lenold, and his expression was as cold as Lenold's.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I just got off the plane when you told me to come over. You're not even concerned if I'm worn out by my work."

Lenold looked at Jepherson and Raeleigh and teased them as he got out of the car.

Raeleigh walked to Jepherson's side queitly.

Jepherson let out an inaudible sigh and looked at Lenold before asking, "I want to see Austin. Help me arrange for it."

"Do you think you're God? That you can meet whoever you want?" Lenold looked at them with a sneer, holding his sunglasses between his fingers.

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson and asked, "What can we do?"

Jepherson turned to look at Lenold and was more straightforward, "Tell me. What conditions do you have?"

"Well... I haven't really thought about it yet. But I assume it must be something important for you to take it so seriously. Lucky for you, I brought my friend here with me. He is here to take over the warden's position. Perhaps I can make an exception for you."

Raeleigh was taken aback. She stared at the man in front of her. This was the new warden?

She paused and continued, "Austin is my brother."

The man looked back at Raeleigh through his sunglasses and said, "That has nothing to do with me."

Raeleigh froze and turned to look at Jepherson as he stretched out a hand and introduced himself to the man, "I'm Jepherson Richards."

The man just stared at Jepherson's hand, not even bothering to remove his sunglasses. It seemed like he didn't care about Jepherson at all as he remarked, "I am not good at dealing with businessmen. I have long heard about you, Mr. Richards."

Jepherson withdrew his hand and looked at him with a smile, "Oh, really?"

"Don't worry. He and I are sworn brothers, and we would take a bullet for each other. As long as such a person exists, I will definitely bring you to him. As for whether I can set him free or not, well talk about it another day. There are legal procedures we have to follow after all."

"We can talk about that once we meet him," Jepherson conceded.

Lenold laughed, "Since when did you learn to make a concession? It's a rare sight. Let's go."

Lenold led the man to Green House's entrance and knocked on the door. After declaring he was here to take over the job, the door opened. He went inside, Raeleigh following suit closely behind.

When Raeleigh entered the room, she was taken aback by the unfamiliar faces. She frowned in confusion as she walked behind Jepherson.

Jepherson turned to her and asked perceptively, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

She held onto his arm and looked up at him. Jepherson lowered his head as she whispered something in his ear.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

Then, he turned around and looked at the guards at the door. He then muttered, "These men have been replaced. The old ones are all gone."

Lenold turned around and stared at Jepherson curiously, "How did you know?"

"It's not important. I'm just telling you the truth."

Raeleigh gazed at the prison guards. She used to come out every now and then, and she knew everyone here. Throughout her one- month stay here, she had already figured out the terrains. There was no way she would mistake these people here.

"That's weird. Why did they change the prison guards?" Lenold looked at the man behind him, only to have the man reply, "That's impossible. We would have to approve of it first."

"Then how do you explain this?" Jepherson asked while gesturing. The man pondered over it before looking around and speculating, "Unless something has happened here." Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"I was sent here because I was ordered to investigate Lechen Look's death."

"Lechen was the old warden here who worked here for ten years. The cause of his sudden death is suspicious."

Raeleigh suddenly grew nervous, and her grip on Jepherson's hand tightened. Her palm was slick with sweat. Jepherson instinctively took her hand and wiped it on his shirt.

Raeleigh lifted her head and looked at him. Then, he said, "You said Austin didn't do it, so what are you afraid of?"

Raeleigh was stunned for a moment. Then, she slowly turned to look at Lenold and the man.

"Let's go in and have a look."

Lenold followed the man inside while Raeleigh and Jepherson walked behind them. Raeleigh realized that Lenold seemed to be familiar with the prison's layout. He did not seem to have difficulty finding his way around as he led the new warden around the prison.

Raeleigh also found the prison particularly quiet that day. Even the cleaners outside were nowhere to be seen.

It was her first time being in the office building of the prison. After a while, a few men came out from the office to greet Lenold, but she did not recognize any of them.

She stood in a daze as she watched the men greeting them. She felt nervous.

Jepherson gripped Raeleigh's hand even tighter to give her strength.

It was already afternoon by the time they completed the handover, and Raeleigh felt restless. Initially, the group planned to have lunch together, but she decided to meet Austin first as she did not feel like eating. Lenold agreed to her decision.

When Raeleigh entered the prison, it was lunchtime. She was familiar with most of the people inside, but all of them seemed to not recognize her. It was as if they had been hypnotized.

Raeleigh went to the cell where she and Austin had been held captive. There were two prisoners inside. As she walked into the cell, the two prisoners were called over to be questioned. They said that they had been living in that cell for several months

Raeleigh instinctively knew that something was not right, and she quickly asked to see Austin. The acting warden gave Raeleigh a list of dead prisoners and told her that the prisoner named Austin had already died two years ago.

Austin was dead?

Raeleigh stared at the list and shook her head in disbelief, "That's impossible. You must have hidden him away."

She could not help but confront the acting warden, only to have the person scoff, "Miss, do you think we have the time to joke with you? The warden and the Interpol are here, and we are under their control. How would we dare to do such a thing?"

Raeleigh was furious. She stormed towards the prisoners who were in the middle of eating lunch and grabbed one of them by the collar. She demanded, "Tell me, who am I? Do you recognize me?"

The man looked at her and shook his head blankly.
