Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1040 Did Not Have the Slightest Idea

Raeleigh stayed over at the hospital in the next couple of days. Although she was constantly in touch with Jepherson, she did not bring up Santiago's affair with Cynthia. However, it bothered her to keep mum

about it.

Now that Zorion and Deanna were recuperating, Raeleigh wanted to return to her school.

While Santiago and Raeleigh were heading back to school, Raeleigh subtly brought up the subject of his romance with Cynthia. Although she did not speak straight from the shoulder, she nevertheless warned him to stay out of the affair.

Santiago did not respond to her remarks as he was driving. Raeleigh felt a gust of cool air even as she was seated in the rear seat.

Santiago did not immediately get out of the car when they reached the school. Instead, he could be seen yawning in the car.

Raeleigh got out of the car alongside Scarlette. She then asked Santiago, "Not getting off the car, huh?"

"I've got a personal matter to attend to," Santiago said. "Call me up if there's anything pressing. Scarlette, please look after Raeleigh."

He then closed the door and drove off.

Scarlette heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Phew, he's gone. We're as free as birds."

Raeleigh glanced at Scarlette. Something seemed to be bothering her.

Puzzled, Raeleigh asked, "Did Mr. Santiago inform where he's heading?"

"How in the world would I know?" Scarlette said. "He's always been reticent. I don't think he would pour his heart out to Mr. Jepherson, let alone us." Scarlette grabbed Raeleigh by the arm and led her to the school. Raeleigh had a feeling that something was amiss. When it rained, it poured. Hence, she had been on tenterhooks.

Raeleigh walked into the school as soon as Santiago's car was out of sight. Santiago looked at the rearview mirror. He accelerated the moment Raeleigh was out of sight.

He drove like the wind, running a few red lights.

Moments after disembarking from the plane, Jepherson received a call from Santiago.

As he made his way to the airport lounge, Jepherson picked up the call. "I'm heading to the Cole family residence," Santiago said.

"No, please," Jepherson said as he stopped walking. Stuart stared at Jepherson, who was looking rather distraught.

The phone was beeping as Santiago hung up on Jepherson. "Off we go to the Cole family home," Jepherson said as he looked at Stuart.

Stuart immediately dashed outside. As Jepherson walked out of the airport and saw the car, he said, "We've got to stop Santiago."

"Okay," Stuart immediately got into the car. Jepherson took off his sweater. There was quite a commotion as a metallic-gRhys sports car pulled up by the entrance of the airport. "That car belongs to the Harvey family, isn't it?" the crowd of onlookers said.

"Jepherson... Jepherson..."

Some ladies screamed when they saw Jepherson.

Jepherson got into the car. As he ignited the car engine, the cars in the vicinity could be seen converging from various directions and making their way to the Cole family home.

Zorion stood by the window of the ward. Clasping his wrist behind his back, he looked out of the window and saw members of the Cole family walking into the hospital.

His phone, which was laying on his bed, rang at that moment. Deanna was lying on the bed reading a fairy tale book. The moment she heard the phone ringing, she got off the bed immediately. Then, she grabbed the phone and handed it to Zorion.

Zorion took the phone and put it to his ear. "What's up?" he said.

Zorion frowned. "Get the word out that whoever hurts Santiago, the Atkinson family will take his life for ten million dollars."

"Zorion, who's trying to hurt Santiago?" Deanna asked. Her face turned pale. Zorion turned around to look at her and said, "No one's trying to hurt him. On the contrary, he's out there making trouble."

"What should we do then?"

"There's nothing much we can do. No worries, he'll be alright. Jepherson's back in town."

"Alright then." Upon hearing that Jepherson had returned, Deanna was relieved. She turned around and returned to her bed to continue reading. Zorion shook his head. "So naïve of her," he thought. "When is she going to be more mature?

Zorion looked out of the window. At that moment, he was overwhelmed by a wave of emotions.

What was he going to do? As someone with a fiery temper, it would be uncharacteristic of him if he did not retaliate.

Be that as it may, he felt compelled to swallow his anger and suck it up despite all that had happened.

As he clasped his wrist behind his back, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "If Jepherson isn't around, then Santiago would be practically unstoppable," he thought.

Jepherson and Santiago were indeed a force to be reckoned with in Capital City. The Cole family would eventually back off.

If he were to have a brother, then Zorion reckoned that he would potentially be able to wield as much power and influence as the Harvey siblings in Capital City.

Personality-wise, Deanna was a clingy and needy girl. Considering this, he had to find someone who could help him out by tending to Deanna whenever he was busy.

His sibling could not hold a candle to Jepherson's.

Jepherson received a call from Stuart, saying that they were about to reach the Cole family home.

"I didn't stop him," Stuart said. "Mr. Santiago has arrived. But he didn't get out of the car." Stuart had gone out of the car and saw Santiago sitting in the car. As he did not dare to stop Santiago, he called Jepherson.

Stuart knew very well that it would be counterproductive if he were to go ahead to stop Santiago.

"Mr. Jepherson hasn't been able to stop him, let alone me," he thought.

"Let him be then," Jepherson said. Since he had arrived, there was no point stopping him.

"But..." Stuart did not manage to say anything as Jepherson hung up on him. A few minutes later, Jepherson arrived at the Cole family home.

Jepherson got out of the car and put on his sweater. He then walked towards the entrance of the home. Santiago had parked his car by the entrance of the home.

As he buttoned up his sweater, he headed straight to Santiago's car. Santiago was sleeping in the car when Jepherson knocked on the window. He opened his eyes and yawned before getting out of the car.

At that moment, four cars could be seen parking by the entrance of the home. They were here to protect Santiago.

Stuart did not dare to come along with Jepherson. Instead, he stood beside his car while waiting for Jepherson.

He did not have the slightest idea why Santiago did not get out of the car. The Cole family members were a little agitated to see Santiago parking by the entrance of the home. Nevertheless, they did not leave the house.

The old Lennox wondered what Santiago was up to.

The young tend to be hot-headed and foolhardy. The same could then be said of Calvin's sons. It did not bother them that their lives could be at stake at that moment.

It was easy to resort to taking someone's life.

The old Lennox frowned when he saw Jepherson. "Oh, dear. It seems that we have got not one, but two troublemakers," he thought.

The old Lennox immediately got someone to inform Brooklyn. Even though he was sleeping, he had no choice but to wake up.

"Hey, what's with you dressing like a dweeb?" Jepherson said, looking visibly annoyed.

Santiago yawned while he was primping. He did not look like one who had just woken up from a nap in the car, but rather one who had just woken up from a long night's sleep. He had unbuttoned all the buttons in his shirt, except the one near his waist, revealing his well-built chest. At a glance, he did not look like a typical 17-year-old teen.

It seemed that Jepherson's reprimands had fallen on deaf ears as Santiago ignored him. Jepherson then turned around and directed his gaze towards the Cole family's home.

The old Lennox was completely baffled. He did not have the slightest idea what they were up to.
