Chapter 1676 Not Worth Mentioning in Public
Chapter 1676 Not Worth Mentioning in Public
The only people that Zorion couldn't live without were Rossie and his nephews. If Jacky were to take
them back with him, Zorion would never agree to it. They looked like carbon copies of Jacky, but they'd
grown up under Zorion's watch. If they were to just leave all of a sudden, Zorion definitely be extremely
bothered.
For this reason, Zorion would only indulge Jacky. He could enter and leave the Atkinson family house
as he wished. Deanna could also leave freely if she wished to. Zorion had already stopped controlling
her.
After all, other than Jacky, no one else would be as nice to Deanna. Even Zorion had already
acknowledged it.
Furthermore, Jacky had always been willing to leave his children in the hands of the Atkinson family.
This action was enough to show them his sincerity.
Zorion wasn't a fool either. Since Jacky had left his children in the Atkinson family for the sake of
Deanna, he could ignore Jacky coming and going freely for the sake of the children.
Aside from Zorion, Jepherson was also a topic of conversation. People were talking about how Jacky
was so important that even Jepherson came to support him by attending the banquet.
It was not that Raeleigh didn't hear what those people were saying. She merely glanced at them and
looked around at the attendees of the banquet.
In truth, Jepherson had taken the opportunity to reduce his public presence when he'd missed out on
the top ten outstanding young men competition. This was so that Jacky could be the centre of attention.
Raeleigh knew very well that Jepherson was extremely shrewd. If he didn't have absolute confidence in
Jacky, he wouldn't have helped him become mayor.
Raeleigh suddenly felt that it would be terrifying to be in a relationship with someone like this.
Everyone went around greeting people and then returned to their seats.
They awaited Jacky's arrival.
Soon, a few people came over to Raeleigh's table. They sat down and merely nodded in greeting.
However, the people who came later surprised Raeleigh.
Louisa was surprised to see Raeleigh here. She was even more surprised that they were at the same
table.
Raeleigh was also surprised by Colston's appearance, but she did not say anything to them.
Since she could pretend to have amnesia in front of Flynt, she could do the same with Colston and
Louisa.
"Raeleigh." Louisa greeted Raeleigh, but Raeleigh did not answer. She just continued staring at Louisa,
then turned to Rossie and asked, "Do I know her?"
Rossie got caught in their crossfire but she smiled and said, "You do know each other. We stayed
together for some time but we lost contact. Also, she helped us in Zorion's stomach problems and also
Santiago's illness."
"I see." Raeleigh looked at the both of them and smiled.
Louisa was puzzled by her estranged attitude.
Colston pulled out a chair for Louisa to sit. After sitting down himself, he took the initiative to talk to
Raeleigh and asked her, "When did you come back?"
Raeleigh looked at Jepherson but said nothing.
Only then did Jepherson look at Colston and say, "You've got the wrong person. She's not the Raeleigh
you know."
Colston looked puzzled. "Then who is she?"
"Don't ask."
Jepherson didn't want to explain, nor did he need to. After he said that, he looked to the front. At this
time, Jacky came in dressed in a black suit with a white shirt. Because of his height, he looked better
than normal people.
Jacky had trimmed his hair before coming, so he looked a little more spirited than he was on television
that morning.
When Jacky appeared, he was walking next to Deanna, looking more like he was her subordinate.
When they arrived at the banquet, Deanna turned to look at Jacky. The person behind Jacky led them
to their table.
Jacky went over to Raeleigh's table and pulled out a chair for Deanna before saying a few words of
welcome, rather than giving a special speech.
Since Jacky was already the new mayor, the guests were naturally respectful towards him. This was
especially true for those who were present. They felt greatly valued and were more than willing to play
along with Jacky.
However, some people wondered why Flynt wasn't present.
There was then another round of discussion.
After Jacky finished speaking, he looked towards Raeleigh and smiled, "You're back?"
Raeleigh also smiled at Jacky, but she didn't reply. Since she had already pretended not to know
Colston and Louisa, there was no way she could know Jacky.
Raeleigh did not respond. Deanna looked at Raeleigh and asked, "Have you forgotten about us so
quickly? Have I changed that much?"
Deanna sounded like she was both joking and questioning Raeleigh at the same time. She wasn't
upset, and her joy was obvious.
Raeleigh said, "Of course I remember. We just met yesterday."
Happiness was written all over Deanna's face. When she smiled, her eyes narrowed into slits. "I knew
it."
Only then did Jacky sit down. He didn't question Raeleigh's answer. Since she said that they'd only met Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
the day before, then that was it.
"Cheers, Mr. Harvey."
Jacky didn't speak to anyone at the table, only saying this to Jepherson. Jepherson raised his
wineglass. Everyone knew that Jepherson stayed away from women and alcohol. On this night, not
only had he brought a woman with him, he was even raising his wineglass for Jacky.
The people around them were a little surprised, but most of them did not dare to talk about it.
There was a reason for Jacky's arrival. If Jepherson wasn't backing him up, it would not be so easy for
him to get to the top.
After some niceties, Deanna and Jepherson changed seats. Deanna sat next to Raeleigh to talk to her
and get to know her better. The table was huge and there were many people present. There would
never be a shortage of topics to talk about, and that was the purpose of this banquet.
Although Jacky hadn't specifically mentioned anything, he definitely had some benefits to reap from
gathering all of these people together.
This way, no one could hear anything. Deanna became even happier as she chatted away.
Raeleigh merely gazed at her and smiled while listening to her. She didn't contribute much to the
conversation.
Deanna, however, was a chatterbox. The moment she sat down next to Raeleigh, she started asking
question after question that Raeleigh didn't even know what to do. She just continued to eat.
Everyone at the table was talking, but only Raeleigh was focused on eating.
There were some people who were curious about who Raeleigh really was. Since Jepherson had
brought her with him, she couldn't possibly be the type of woman that was not worth mentioning in
public, could she?
