Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 840 The Encounter
Deanna heard that the Harvey Group was about to hold a car designing competition and it was held in Elkton University. She was intrigued to join but she stood by the entrance hesitantly. "What's wrong?" Zorion asked. Zorion didn't go to school for the past two days and stayed at home to accompany Deanna because he was afraid that she would feel upset.
However, ever since Deanna got a call from Paige, she wasn't feeling emotional anymore and insisted on going to school.
"Zorion." Deanna ran towards him with a smile when she saw him. She hugged his arm, like a child asking for attention.
Zorion and Deanna were open to each other about everything. If there was one thing that Zorion couldn't live without, it would be his sister, Deanna.
"What are you so happy about?" Zorion asked as his eyebrows lifted.
"Zorion, did you hear that the Harvey Group will be hosting a car designing competition in Elkton University? You're so good at car designing, so why don't we sign up for the competition?" Deanna had long black hair, and she was wearing a white dress. She had big eyes, and she looked like a life-size doll. Zorion couldn't say no to her.
Zorion reached out to rub Deanna's head gently. Her smooth black hair moved under his touch.
"If you want to join it, then I can help you sign up for it, but I'm not keen to join myself." Zorion had always disliked huge events, and therefore he rejected the idea.
Deanna agreed. She didn't want to force Zorion because he had always disliked meddling in anything related to the Harvey Group. Zorion could do anything he wished. She got what she wanted, which was to join the car designing competition.
There were more than five hundred people who signed up for the competition, but it was quickly filtered down to not more than seventy people. Although the competition was open to everyone in school, they had to pass different stages. The first stage was a test of the participants' knowledge of cars. Therefore, not many were left to compete.
After passing the first stage, Raeleigh went to class. She and Scarlette both got pass the first stage successfully.
There was nothing wrong with that and they didn't think it was a huge deal.
After their afternoon classes and lunch, they went back to their dorm and worked on their competition design.
They were the only ones in their dorm room and it was quiet. Raeleigh quickly finished her design, kept it, and started reading.
Scarlette, who was sitting opposite her, looked up and said, "How come you're done so quickly?"
"There are so many people in the competition and I may not be able to make it to the finals. Therefore, I don't plan to waste too much time on it. I'll just leave it at that." Raeleigh decided on the thought that there were too many people in the competition, and she wouldn't know if they had an unofficial winner beforehand.
"You're not even putting in any effort," Scarlette said as she cleared up her things.
"Are you done with your design as well?" Raeleigh didn't see Scarlette draw her design.
"I don't feel inspired right now. I'm going to play games for a some time. Who knows? Maybe I'll come up with an avant-garde car design," Scarlette said. The truth was she had no idea how to design cars.
...
The two of them ditched their designs and started playing the game. Around ten o'clock at night, they managed to find a huge treasure chest. The two of them obtained it together without anyone else, so they earned a lot from it. Scarlette sold the treasure and split the money evenly.
Raeleigh lay down in her bed shortly after.
She chatted with Scarlette for a while and then fell asleep.
The next morning, Raeleigh heard that Deanna and Quirina were also in the competition.
Many people have their bets on Deanna winning the competition. On the other hand, nobody had hopes on Quirina because she hardly paid attention in class.
Raeleigh was walking within the university compound when she was surrounded by a group of girls.
"Raeleigh, we meet again," Quirina said as she had a few of her followers with her. Raeleigh and Scarlette were surrounded by them. Quirina had a hat on. It was obvious that she hadn't fully healed from her injury the other day.
Raeleigh wasn't afraid when she saw Quirina and just said, "Whatever happened was never my intention. It wouldn't have happened if you guys didn't cross the line."
"Such high and mighty words. Raeleigh, let me tell you this. Only one of us can remain in this school. If you want to live, then I think it's best for you to remove yourself from Elkton University as soon as you can. You hurt me, and I'm never letting you off."
Quirina spoke as she approached Raeleigh. She lifted her hand and pushed Raeleigh. Scarlette grabbed Quirina's hand and pushed her back as she cried, "What are you trying to do?" "What am I doing? What do you think I'm doing? Can't you see it for yourself?" Quirina sized Scarlette up with an evil gaze.
Scarlette moved towards Quirina, but she was held back by Raeleigh. "Forget it. Don't bother with them."
"That's right. You don't have to bother with us. Are you going to seduce Mr. Harvey right now?" Quirina was getting meaner with her words. Soon, there was a crowd around them.
"Everyone! Take a look at this shameless wh*re. She seduced Mr. Harvey and still dares to show up in school! Let's teach her a lesson!" Quirina hated Raeleigh. She wasn't going to admit defeat, and she wanted Raeleigh dead. Despite her mother, Meica's reminder to reflect on her behavior and not act impulsively, Quirina was unable to hold back.
Raeleigh looked at the people who had crowded around them. "It doesn't matter what you will do, I'm not going to leave Elkton University. I'm studying here and so are you. I don't have a reason to leave, and you don't have a reason to chase me out."
"Chase you out?" Quirina laughed. The few people behind her laughed along too.
Suddenly, Quirina stopped laughing and said, "That is exactly what I want to do. If you don't leave this place, then I'm going to make life hard for you here."
Raeleigh didn't want to say anything else, and she was about to pull Scarlette away. There was no point in continuing this conversation with them.
"Stop right there! Can't you hear me?!" Quirina yelled as she saw that Raeleigh was about to walk away. Quirina pulled Raeleigh and stopped her from leaving. Raeleigh turned around and tried to break hersel free from Quirina. Just as Quirina was about to hit Raeleigh and Scarlette was about to take action, a voice could be heard from not far away. The owner of the voice sounded upset.
"Stop everything." Everyone was stunned, and they followed Raeleigh's gaze towards the perimeter of the crowd. It was the Atkinson siblings. Zorion was walking behind Deanna. Deanna hurried towards Raeleigh and pulled Quirina's hand away from her.
Then, Deanna used her body to shield Raeleigh.
"What are you doing?" In Elkton University, everyone was afraid of Quirina but Deanna and Zorion were not. Deanna had heard all about Quirina in the past, about how Quirina bullied everyone in school and was also a bad student in class.
Before Deanna attended Elkton University, she had already heard about Quirina. Since she came here, she also heard a lot about Quirina bullying the other students. Paige had explained about Raeleigh's matter with Deanna and Deanna thought it was lucky that she wasn't in that situation that night.
"Deanna Atkinson?" Quirina took a few steps back. Quirina knew who Deanna was and Deanna's father was Rhys Atkinson. He was a well-known man in Capital City. Her father had told her before that Rhys was becoming more influential in recent years. He also said that if it weren't because of Quirina's identity, he was hoping to arrange a marriage between her and the Atkinson family.
Quirina recalled it and turned to look at Zorion.
Zorion's gaze was cold as he swept his gaze across the surrounding people. His neck was long, and he had a classy appearance. Although he was only nineteen years old, one could tell from his gaze that he was much more intelligent and graceful compared to his peers.
He walked in front of Deanna.
Once his cold gaze landed on her, he flashed her an indulgent grin.
It was full of love for his sister.
