Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1021 Frightening

Raeleigh also did not expect that Santiago would eat all her leftovers. But at that time, if she tried to stop him, then she would be the one deemed insensible. It would have been inappropriate if she took it back to eat on her own too. In the end, she could only watch.

Jepherson on the other hand simply remarked, "You're indeed quite thin."

After saying that, Jepherson took a sip of red wine. The corners of his mouth were lifted up. Raeleigh didn't dare look at him because if she looked at him too much, then her eyes would hurt.

Raeleigh could not make sense of such a man.

Soon, Santiago finished eating Raeleigh's leftovers. Deanna bit her lip as she grimaced. What was he doing?

Zorion held his sister's hand tightly with a big smile.

Since the game was being played that way, Zorion thought it was fun.

Santiago had a gulp of red wine and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He looked at the time and stood up.

"We're leaving. There's work to be done at the school, so we can't accompany you any longer, Grandma. Please continue."

After saying that, Santiago stood up, pulled Raeleigh up with him, and left when she was still saying her goodbyes. Paige's face was drained of colour with her anger. Jepherson continued to remain calm and didn't take it seriously.

"Look. Just look. What's this?" Paige said, pointing at the door, whilst Jepherson seemed totally unaffected.

"Deanna? I must've scared you, haven't I?" Paige said to Deanna when she recovered her senses from her fury. Deanna stared at the door in a daze and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. "Deanna, Grandma is talking to you." Zorion kindly reminded her. She then came to her senses and looked at Paige with her face red. "Grandma."

"Are you frightened of Raeleigh?" When Paige said that, Zorion wanted to laugh more. They were both female companions brought back home by her grandsons. But because of Deanna's excellent status, Paige doted on her with much fondness. Raeleigh's status was low, so she was always making things difficult for her.

They were both children of the Harvey family. Jepherson was treated like a noble prince, while Santiago was treated as though he was good-for-nothing.

To put it bluntly, wasn't Paige up to no good?

Deanna shook her head hurriedly. "No, it has nothing to do with Raeleigh. She's quite nice. We're also friends."

Paige was stunned. "My child. I think that you're a hundred of times better than Raeleigh."

"No..." Deanna wanted to give an explanation. Jepherson stood up and said, "I'll head back first."

After saying that, he stepped forward and left. Paige looked at him and said, "Jepherson, aren't you going to see them off..."

"Grandma, we're leaving too." Zorion could not bear to listen any longer. In the past, he did not think that Paige was a snobbish lady. He just thought that she was a little vain. Right then, it seemed that Paige was a seriously snobbish lady.

Deanna was also done hanging around. She hurriedly stood up and told Paige, "Then, I'll get going first, Grandma."

After that, she turned and went to chase after her brother, Zorion.

People in front of Paige disappeared all of a sudden, which made her feel odd and at a loss. She sat for a long time before getting up. It was all Raeleigh's fault. Did she have to attend just because she was invited? Didn't she know how to use her brain to think?

The more she thought about it, the less she liked Raeleigh.

When she went into Jepherson's room, he had not rested yet, so Paige sat down and said, "I'm really dissatisfied with this girl, Raeleigh. If it were not for the state of your younger brother, then why should I have to allow this person, who lacks elegance and grace, into the family?"

Jepherson lowered his head slightly and sent a text message to Raeleigh, as if he hadn't heard a word Paige had just said. Raeleigh, on her end, didn't mind what had happened that day. After all, she just came to have dinner and didn't care about anything else.

Jepherson chatted for a while before looking at Paige, his elbow pressing onto the couch as he maintained a serious face. "Grandma, when you first married into the family, did Great-Grandma dislike you as well?"

Paige was at a loss and was stunned by the question.

Thinking of what had happened to her back then, she still had a knot in her heart. There was nothing wrong with her, but her mother-in-law didn't like her, no matter what. It was all because of... Paige looked at her grandson and asked, "What's wrong? Can't you stand it? Are you trying to lecture your Grandma?"

Jepherson stood up and said, "In those days, there was a decision my great-grandma couldn't make. Today, neither can you. One can't be hampered by anything if one likes someone."

"There's nothing wrong with Raeleigh. It's just that Grandma, you can't stand treating her as an equal. The way I see it, Deanna has her merits, and Raeleigh has her own uniqueness. There's no need to put them together to be compared against each other. If you feel that Raeleigh is not good enough for Santiago, then you can tell Santiago and ask him to end all contact with her. There are plenty of other people who want to pursue Raeleigh. In fact, I think..."

"There will be someone who's willing to compete for the upper hand."

Jepherson stood up and left. Paige was so stunned that she couldn't even react. What was he saying?

Raeleigh left Harvey Manor and planned to go back to campus. Scarlette had stood behind them the whole time and had not eaten dinner. Santiago glanced at Scarlette in the rearview mirror. He drove them to a barbecue shop and had some barbecue with them.

Raeleigh couldn't eat anymore because she was already full. Upon such a good opportunity, how could Scarlette have possibly passed on it?

Santiago sat at the side and drank some beer. Raeleigh could drive them back later.

Santiago and Scarlette were only responsible for sleeping.

It was twelve midnight, so there were not many cars on the road. Raeleigh drove faster, but when she made a turn at a curve, Raeleigh felt something was wrong. Right then, Santiago's phone rang. Scarlette was first awakened, followed by Santiago. He picked up the call and sat up. He glanced at the person behind them through the rearview mirror.

"Go and sit in the back." Santiago turned his body sideways. Raeleigh looked ahead and said, "An accident might happen if I don't stop the car."

"You can go to the back. It's alright as long as I hold onto the steering wheel." Santiago insisted on doing so. Raeleigh thought for a while. There was no time to ponder over it. She immediately unfastened her seat belt and climbed from the front seat to the back. When Raeleigh turned around, Santiago immediately moved over. So, by the time she turned around and sat down, Santiago had already gotten into the driver's seat. Raeleigh stared at Santiago with her beautiful eyes wide open. Santiago only hit the car brakes to a halt for a moment, and there was no swaying or anything else.

Raeleigh puckered her lips. "What's going on?"

"When Mr. Santiago was a child, he could control the car even when he was sitting in the front passenger's seat. It's not a big deal. Raeleigh, let's lie down and not interrupt Mr. Santiago." Scarlette pressed Raeleigh down as they lay down flat in the back seat. Santiago still remembered to buckle his seat belt. Raeleigh saw that from her position below and was stunned.

He could drive from the front passenger's seat, so why would he care about a seat belt?

Santiago then glanced at the dozen or so cars that had caught up. He increased the speed of his car and turned it around. It would be dangerous at any other time if he had performed that manoeuvre, but it was midnight right then, and there were very few cars on the road. As long as he controlled the car well, nothing would happen.

The car turned so fast that the cars behind did not anticipate Santiago would have made the U-turn at such a high speed, such that they did not have time to brake properly before the rest of the cars behind smashed into them, leaving all of them scrapped.

At that moment, Santiago glanced at the cars behind them. He turned the car around and drove in another direction. Raeleigh and Scarlette got up from their seats to look behind and witness a series of explosions right at the spot where they had made a sudden U-turn.

Raeleigh and Scarlette scrambled to see what had happened, only to see the road behind them engulfed in flames.

Raeleigh calmed down then. Then, she turned to look at Santiago, who was driving the car. "Are they here for you?" Santiago found it amusing. "What else could it be?"

Raeleigh puckered her lips. She hoped that those people were not the ones who were looking for her. What had happened more than a decade ago was still fresh in Raeleigh's mind. Those people had searched for her so intensely that they did not mind killing all the kids just to get to her. She did not need to see such a horrible scene. It was frightening just thinking about it!
