Chapter 250: Seeing Raylee Again
Coincidentally, he spotted Halston, caught up in a conversation with a girl not far away. Upon seeing the familiar profile, his eyes widened in shock. “Raylee? Is that Raylee?”
Although Raylee had drastically changed in appearance after her release from prison, she had become so frail that she seemed extremely fragile. The girl standing before Halston was the spitting image of Raylee, right before she was imprisoned. In fact, she had even become more mature and beautiful. It was as if Raylee hadn’t spent those four years in prison, but had instead grown up following the normal course of life.
As soon as Casimir got out of the car and heard him mention Raylee’s name, he blurted out, “Did you also receive news on Raylee? Are you searching for Raylee, too?”
“What? You’ve been searching for her all this time? I knew you wouldn’t give up on her so easily, so I’ll settle the score with you later! Enough talk for now, look at Halston over there!” Samuel exclaimed, his face filled with discontent as he pointed in a certain direction.
Casimir had a vague recollection of Halston, but they weren’t particularly close. Thus, he declined, saying, “I don’t know him, so let’s not waste any more time. I’m really busy. Where’s Waverly? Why is she still not here?” He wanted to hurry off and search for Raylee immediately after picking up Waverly.
“I told you to look at the girl in front of Halston! Hurry up and look!” Samuel said, somewhat annoyed.
Casimir had little patience, his face stern as he looked over. Upon doing so, he was taken aback. “Is that Ray–Ray? Wait, is she really Ray–Ray? She looks so much like Ray–Ray before she was imprisoned!”
Samuel nodded, saying, “So, it’s proven that there’s nothing wrong with my eyesight. Where in the world would you find two people who look so alike? Come on; let’s go ask—”
Before he could finish his sentence, Casimir had already impatiently headed in Raylee’s direction. The thought of his assistant having located Raylee and confirmed her presence in Jexburgh city lingered in his mind. With each passing moment, Casimir became increasingly certain that this girl was Raylee.
At that moment, Halston was still pestering Raylee to add him on WhatsApp.
Upon seeing Samuel, he immediately greeted them, “Hey there, Samuel! Here to pick up your precious sister again? You’re here too, Casimir? Oh my, Waverly sure is blessed! After finding her roots, she’s been showered with love and affection from all sides! By the way, Samuel, you mentioned last time about introducing me to that fake heiress from your family. Do you think I’m some kind of garbage dump that you can just toss all sorts of trash my way? But if she’s attractive, I suppose I could have a little fun with her! Hehehe…”
Halston even rubbed his hands together with a lecherous grin on his face. As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that Raylee was still there and quickly corrected himself by saying, “Samuel and I are really close, you see. I was just joking!”
Samuel didn’t pay him any mind at all; his attention was entirely focused on Raylee. The same could be said about Casimir. It was as if the entire world had been blocked out, and his eyes only saw Raylee standing before him.
Upon closer inspection, they realized that this girl, who bore a striking resemblance to Raylee, looked even more like Raylee before she was imprisoned. It was as if she had been replicated exactly.
At that moment, he felt as though he had been transported back to four years ago. Back then, Raylee hadn’t yet landed herself in hot water and was still a carefree, prominent young lady. Her appearance was just as it was now, with skin as smooth as cream and features that were delicately soft and captivating. Her beauty was stunning enough to take one’s breath away. She had a fondness for wearing dresses and often sported a high ponytail. Her every frown and smile radiated a playful charm that was unforgettable at a glance.
Samuel gazed at Raylee, who at that moment looked as beautiful as a fairy, before he hesitantly asked, “That’s impossible. You can’t be Raylee. She had many scars and was so frail and delicate. How come you don’t have any?”
She had only been gone for five months! How could it be possible for a disabled person like her to transform into the vibrant and youthful woman standing before them? Even plastic surgery couldn’t achieve such an effect!
“Ray–Ray? As in, Raylee?” Halston felt a sense of familiarity with this name. Upon seeing the two people looking so tense, he too became anxious. He then positioned himself in front of Raylee and said, “Samuel, Casimir, I set my eyes on Ray–Ray first. You guys had better not try to steal her away from me!”
“Get lost, you nuisance!” Samuel pushed Halston away with a forceful shove.
At that moment, Waverly had just walked out of the campus. Upon spotting Casimir’s silhouette and realizing that he had come to pick her up after class, her joy mirrored that of a bird in flight as she rushed over to him.
