Chapter 83 Jeremiah And His Past
Raylee turned around and shot Shanice a chilling look.
“Look at you,” she said, “you’re asking for my help and speaking to me rudely at the same time. What’s the point of me being the good guy here?”
Shanice promptly softened her demeanor and admitted, “You’re right. We don’t share a deep–seated grudge, and you even risked your life to save me today, I shouldn’t be arguing with you.”
she added. “Besides, my true resentment toward you began after Waverly returned to the Goodridge family. Her constant badmouthing about you gradually intensified my hostility toward you.”
“Quite insightful,” Raylee expressed, a pleased smile gracing her lips as she once again crouched beside Shanice.
Since Shenice had extended an olive branch, Raylee would take it.
She wasn’t the type to stubbornly hold a grudge.
Right. I wasn’t aware of your specific situation with that sc*mbag ex. If I had known, I wouldn’t have brought up your past. I’m sorry,” Raylee apologized.
Shanice shook her head. “I’m not blaming you, but could I ask you for a favor?”
“What is it?”
Overwhelmed with emotion, Shanice tightly gripped Raylee’s hand and begged, “Please, ask Mr. Lorimer on my behalf. Help me hunt that sc*mbag down.”
“I can give it a try, but the odds aren’t great. He might not listen to me.
“It’s fine even if he doesn’t agree. Thank you, replied Shanice.
At that moment, the two utterly incompatible individuals finally shook hands and made peace.
Kaylee felt as though a huge weight had been lifted off her chest.

Shanice was a straightforward woman, known for her fiery and boisterous personality. Waverly cleverly capitalized on this, befriending her and winning her favor. She then skillfully manipulated Shanice, using her as a pawn in her plans.
Usually, Waverly’s constant underhanded antics were already enough to give Raylee a headache.
Adding Shanice to the mix, who was like a ticking time bomb, Raylee often felt powerless against their onslaught.
If Shanice and Waverly severed ties, it would be as though Waverly had lost a key ally, which might not necessarily be a bad thing
Later on, Raylee fetched some spring water for Shanice to drink. While chatting, they patiently awaited the arrival of the
rescue team
Having learned from her past four years of experience, Raylee felt that if she were the only one to fall off the cliff, the people on the cliff might not have necessarily gone to great lengths to save her.
But since she was with Shanice, the heiress of the Sutherland family, they would surely send out an army of rescuer workers
They had to know if she was dead or alive.
“Right, Kaylee, there’s something I must tell you” Suddenly, Shanice’s expression turned serious
“You must be extremely wary of Jeremiah. He has done many unsavory deeds abroad. I don’t mean to badmouth him or come between your relationship, but it’s better to err on the side of caution”
“So, tell me, what are his deeds that can’t stand the light of day?” Raylee asked her earnestly.

“He had quite a few potential marriage alliance partners, all of whom he had nearly gotten engaged to. But oddly enough.
of them died purportedly due to arridente. But how can one be so unlucky?” Shanice’s brows furrowed in deep Thought “Moreover, he had a fascination for guns to the point of obsession. In the entire Jexburgh, there are hardly any s dared to carry a gun around like he did.”
Haylee replied simply, “Tve heard all of these before”
“Have you heard? Aren’t you scared?” Shanice expressed her surprise, “Aren’t you afraid you’ll end up meeting an untimely end like his previous fiancées?”
Everything is up to fate For years in prison couldn’t kill me what else should I fear?” Raylee gave a bitter smile.
“You’re not even scared I’ll respect that Shanice swiftly changed the topic and added, “There’s one more thing. If he ever suggests taking you abroad, you must absolutely refuse, especially to East Aploth. That’s his turf!”
Shanice explained, “I heard rumors that he has numerous illegal businesses over there. He even sold off all his fiancées, and they rdering unimaginable fates. I’m not going to frighten you with the harsh details. I can only hint so much. You should seriously reconsider any marriage plans to Jeremiah”
Jaydee nodded in agreement.
However, she didn’t take these rumors to heart.
As for the matter of going abroad, she took it very seriously. She was adamant about not traveling to East Aploth. She viewed
no intention of setting foot there.
“Shanice, Kaylee, you’re both alive. That’s wonderful! I’m coming over.”
Suddenly, a burst of delighted exclamations interrupted their conversation.
It was Waverly, who had arrived with the rescue team, who found them,
Raylee le out a sigh of relief. “Ms Sutherland, your bestie has arrived. Your life has been saved.”
“Who the hell is her bestie Shanice spat out bitterly, “She has just been toying with my feelings!”
Waverly hurriedly ran over, but as she neared Shanice, she was abruptly pushed away.
tay away from met Shanice practically had the words ‘rejection etched onto her face.
“Shanice, what’s wrong Don’t you recognize me?” Waverly looked at Shanice, her face a mask of confusion and uncertainty.
Who do you think you are? Do I even know your” Shanice expressed her disgust openly, her face full of unmasked disdain,
