The housekeeper rushed forward when she noticed Rayna trying to bring Jessica away.

Alas, she could not win one against three. Instead, Kristie tied the housekeeper up and left her in the living room.

After leaving Regal Gardens, Rayna drove straight to the airport. She said to Kristie, “You’ve got loads of connections, Kristie. Get in touch with someone at the airport and have them put Jessie on a plane out of the country.”

“Go abroad?” Jessica stiffened in shock before sputtering, “I can’t leave the country. Uncle Oliver is still in the hospital. Wyatt might target him if he can’t find me.”

Rayna tightened her grip on the steering wheel and mustered a smile. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of Mr. Marsh.”

“Rayna, where should the flight go?” asked Kristie.

“Yartran.”

That was Jefferson’s turf, and Wyatt would never be able to find Jessica there.

Meanwhile, Kristie quickly found help by using her connections as “Mr. Faymon’s younger sister.”

Once they reached the airport, Kristie led Rayna and Jessica through the staff entrance and straight to the pilot who would ensure Jessica’s safe arrival in Yartran.

Jessica dragged her feet, reluctant to leave. She clasped Rayna’s hand and said, “What will happen to you when I leave? Wyatt—”

“Don’t worry, he can’t do anything to me,” Rayna interjected while wiping the tears from the corner of Jessica’s eyes. She added, “Wait for a bit once you land in Yartran. Ringo will send someone to escort you.”

Then, she continued more quietly, “I’m sorry. I’m too useless. I even need you to help me.”

I must protect Jessica at all costs since I didn’t manage to save her family.

Thankfully, Jessica hugged Rayna and replied, “Okay. I’ll listen to you. I’ll leave. Please take care of my uncle and the others.”

Rayna nodded.

She watched as Jessica boarded the plane.

The tension in her heart only dissolved when the plane left the runway. Then, she left with Kristie.

Kristie watched Rayna’s profile closely and could not help but ask, “Uncle Oliver is, erm… why didn’t you tell Jessica the truth, Rayna?”
