Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 1018 Since She Was There, She Had to Make Peace
"If you don't do well in the exam, then I'll give you a special privilege."
"I don't want your privilege. It's the same if I rely on myself."
Raeleigh pulled her hand back, not liking Jepherson's behavior. She turned around and walked back to the school. At that time, Jepherson turned around and returned to the car. He sat in the car and ordered Stuart to go back to Harvey Manor. He wanted to go back and check on Paige.
For the past few days, Paige had been waiting for Jepherson to return home. She had waited for a few days, but he had yet to come back, so she seemed very impatient.
Hearing that Jepherson's car had already arrived, Paige's face darkened as she said coldly, "He still knows the way back. I wonder where he has been hiding. I asked him to bring Deanna back to visit me, and he instantly ran away, leaving not even a trace of a shadow. This must mean that he's sick of me nagging him."
"Who's sick of you?" Jepherson stepped in. Paige was making that remark when she saw Jepherson and snorted, not saying anything else.
Jepherson smiled. He walked over to Paige and sat down next to her. He took Paige's hand and asked, "Who made you angry? Tell me, so that I can vent your anger on your behalf?"
Jepherson and his mouth. The minute he opened his mouth to speak, her anger had instantly gone down by half. Then, from looking at his extremely dashing smile, the anger completely dissipated.
Paige asked only one question. Why hadn't Deanna come to visit during that period of time? From what Paige recalled, if Deanna had not visited in two days, then she would definitely show up Tristany in the third morning.
However, recently, she had stopped coming altogether. Paige felt that there must have been something wrong, but the only thing was that she couldn't tell where things had gone wrong, and it did not warrant her to make a visit personally to the Atkinson family to enquire either.
She had called several times, but every time, it was Zorion who answered the phone. That kid was not easy to deal with. He always laughed, knowing when to advance and retreat when he talked. No matter how she tried to ask about it, he would not talk about anything that had to do with Deanna. She even invited them over to have some fun but was repeatedly refused.
"What's going on between Deanna and you? Why doesn't the child come here anymore? I don't even get a glimpse of her shadow around here anymore. Did something really happen between you two?" Paige couldn't help but to worry. Rhys was not a nice person to talk to. The relationship between the two families was out there in the open. If it was destroyed because of Santiago's matter, then there was nothing the two families could say. Ultimately, she would pity her grandson.
Jepherson had a sense of propriety. His smile was particularly bright and clear. "Nothing much. It's just that we haven't been in touch. I'll ask them over for dinner later."
"Really?" Paige was puzzled. The sun must've risen from the west that day. Why did he agree to it so quickly and easily?
Jepherson leaned to the side. "Grandma, what are you worried about?"
"What do I have to worry about? I just feel that you're not young anymore. It should be time for you to find someone to start a family. That's the root of the matter. The Harvey family is a large family and has a large business. If you don't get married Tristany, then how can you start a family?"
"I've actually prepared for this," Jepherson said casually. Paige was stunned for a moment and she then looked at her grandson. He stood up and said while walking, "Call Santiago home for dinner. Then, call the Atkinson family and say that the Old Madam misses them and has prepared a banquet for them."
"Yes." Stuart glanced at Paige and turned around to carry out his orders. Paige turned to look at Jepherson. "You want to invite that girl, Raeleigh, over?"
Jepherson turned to look at her and said, "There's no such thing. Santiago is also the son of the Harvey family. Grandma, don't be prejudiced against Raeleigh just because of Santiago. Raeleigh has just created hundreds of millions of dollars in profit for our company. This has never happened in years. I want to make Raeleigh an employee of the Harvey Group. If I can't retain her, then the loss will be immeasurable. Moreover, she's a piece of juicy meat. Many people are coveting this asset, from Zorion to the Cole family. The three major families in Capital City are all trying their best to get their hands on Raeleigh. Grandma..."
"What?" Paige somehow felt that things were not so simple.
"I don't want to mix public and private affairs over this matter. No matter how bad Santiago is, he's still a member of the Harvey family. His wife must join our Harvey Group and contribute to it in the future." Paige was slightly stunned, and her face sank. "How can you talk to me like this? Sometimes, your brother can indeed be really annoying. Do you think I'm the one who wants to do that? It's him who's not worthy of it."
"But he's also Santiago, the son of the Harvey family." With that, Jepherson turned around and left. Paige was so angry that she sat on the couch with a cold expression on her face. But after a while, she thought about it carefully. Why were so many people concerned about Raeleigh?
Zorion was one thing, but what about the Cole family? Did they also come to fight for the future daughter-in-law of the Harvey family?
When it came to Raeleigh's affairs, as long as it was not for Jepherson, Paige would openly welcome her for Santiago.
Even though her family background couldn't compare to Deanna's, she was very talented. If she was a daughter from a good family, then who wouldn't be willing to make her marry Santiago?
Paige decided to turn a blind eye to that matter. She got up to get dressed and went to the kitchen to instruct the staff on what needed to be done. Either way, Deanna was coming, and she had to prepare well. Before Raeleigh could have her dinner, she was interrupted by the ringing of the phone. Santiago answered the phone and tapped on Raeleigh's laptop using his fist, saying, "The Old Madam wants us to go back for dinner."
Raeleigh raised her head to look at Santiago. "Dinner?"
"Yes, dinner. The ugly daughter-in-law eventually will need to meet her in-laws. Let's go. Let's go back and see if this treacherous banquet is lively or not." Santiago turned around and glanced at Scarlette. "You may tag along."
Scarlette stood up and said, "Thank you, Mr. Santiago."
Raeleigh sat across from him and did not get up for a long time. "I still have classes to attend to."
"No matter how good your grades are, it's just a surface-level achievement. As long as I'm here, you'll be the lady of the Harvey family." Santiago took away the notebook and pulled Raeleigh out of the door. Before he went out, he turned around and said to Scarlette, "Take Raeleigh's things with you."
"Alright." Although she did not know why, she quickly packed up Raeleigh's belongings. Then, Santiago brought Raeleigh and Scarlette to Harvey Manor.
Raeleigh was a little worried. While walking, she stared at Santiago and asked, "Am I just gonna go like this?"
Raeleigh meant whether she should change her clothes or not.
Santiago glanced at Raeleigh through the rearview mirror. "The Old Madam has nothing she needs. You don't have to buy her anything."
Raeleigh was speechless. When did she say that she wanted to buy a gift? She was there to have dinner, and it was not as if she was accepted. Besides, she went over on behalf of someone else's rank within the family.
Raeleigh just took a look at her clothes that she had not changed at all. She didn't know what they would make of her, dressed so casually as she was.
Santiago said, "You're alright as it is."
Raeleigh raised her head to look at Santiago. "I'm just afraid that I'll bring shame on you."
"I've lost my pride and dignity a long time ago. If it's for me, then you're exempted from trying." Santiago laughed. The car was speeding. Raeleigh looked out slowly. Was that so?
So, it didn't matter what she wore?
No matter what, if she was discovered to be Jepherson's girlfriend in the future and was then dressed casually, would the Old Madam be displeased and think that she did not take it seriously to have been invited to a meal with the Harvey family?
Raeleigh thought about it all along the way, and finally, they arrived at Harvey Manor.
Santiago got out of the car and opened the door to call out for her. Raeleigh took a look outside and stepped out of the car.
Since she was there, she would have to make peace with it and let things take their own course!
