Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1050 Travelling Overseas

Jepherson said a few words before the meeting ended. Then, he got up to take Raeleigh's laptop. He glanced at Raeleigh and held her hand before leading her out of the conference room.

The conference room was as quiet as a graveyard. Stuart could be seen twitching his lips when he saw Jepherson holding Raeleigh's hand. "Oh wow, what does Mr. Jepherson think he is doing?" he thought. As they walked out of the conference room, Raeleigh attempted to pull away from Jepherson. However, he refused to let her go. Feeling helpless, she gave in and said, "Somebody's watching."

"Are you scared though?" Jepherson asked while he was walking. Raeleigh shook her head and said, "You're the boss. No one dares to spill the tea."

"I'm glad you're aware," Jepherson said. "Stuart, can you make some arrangements? A flight in the afternoon. I'm bringing Raeleigh along. You don't have to come though."

Jepherson then led Raeleigh to his office. "Where are we going?" Raeleigh asked.

"We're travelling overseas," Jepherson explained. "I've got a matter to attend to." By the time Jepherson went into his office, Stuart had already booked a ticket. Puzzled, Raeleigh asked, "Where is it though?" "Somewhere out of the country."

Raeleigh reckoned that she must have been out of her mind. Otherwise, she would not have agreed to join Jepherson despite not knowing where she was travelling.

At the airport, Raeleigh called Scarlette to inform her that she would be travelling abroad. "Right, I'm aware." Scarlette said.

Raeleigh frowned. "How the h*ll did you know?" she said.

Scarlette could be seen eating a popsicle as she walked into the airport. As soon as she saw Raeleigh, she said, "I'm walking into the airport. Your passport is with me." Bewildered, Raeleigh turned around. True enough, she saw Scarlette holding her belongings. Scarlette then hung up on her and walked towards her.

"There you go, that's your passport," Scarlette said as she handed Raeleigh her personal belongings. "How did you know that I'm travelling though?" Raeleigh said.

"Mr. Jepherson got Stuart to inform me," Scarlette said. "And then I came here right away. I'm helpful, don't you think so? Call me up as soon as the plane touches down. Don't worry about your grandmother. Hadrian and I will pay her a visit this weekend."

"Thank you so much," Raeleigh said.

"Well, just get Mr. Santiago to help me pass level 100 when you're back," Scarlette said. "I'll buy you lunch then. How about that?" Scarlette took the opportunity to get Raeleigh to do her a favor. Raeleigh rolled her eyes at her and said, "Got to go now."

Raeleigh turned around and left alongside Jepherson. Scarlette heaved a sigh of relief. She thought that Mr. Jepherson was wise enough to bring her along. Otherwise, she would have gone berserk having had to face Deanna all day long.

Scarlette was relieved as she walked out of the airport. She headed straight to Santiago's car and got into his car.

As soon as she got into the car, Scarlette said, "Let's head to the Internet café for some games instead of going back to the dormitory, shall we? We can get Hadrian to treat us. What do you think? Otherwise, we'll have to put up with Deanna all day long. She's perpetually clingy. I bet she's going to ask where Raeleigh is."

Santiago glanced at Scarlette and said, "Well, why don't you treat us then?"

"Mr. Santiago..."

"On you, please."

Feeling irritated, Scarlette remained silent as she sat in the back passenger seat. Why did she have to pay when she barely had enough money?

Scarlette reluctantly joined Santiago as they headed to the Internet café. As soon as they reached there, she got out of the car and loitered around outside the shops. She was undecided if she should walk into the bigger Internet café. The facilities would be better than the smaller ones. However, it would be more costly too.

After a moment of hesitation, Scarlette made up her mind. Just as she was about to enter, Santiago's phone rang. Scarlette snuck a glance at his phone and saw a certain Cynthia's name on the phone screen. Cynthia?

Cynthia Cole?

The thought of Cynthia Cole made her feel uncomfortable. "What does Mr. Santiago think he is doing?" she thought.

"You promised to help me, didn't you?" Scarlette said. "So, be sure to help me later when I need to level up." Scarlette reluctantly begged Santiago. Santiago then took a wad of cash from his wallet and handed it to Scarlette. "Get someone to play it with you," he said.

Scarlette was rendered speechless. "What the h*ll?" she thought.

Santiago then got into the car and sped off.

Scarlette shook her head. "Oh, dear. What am I supposed to do now?" she wondered.

"What's wrong with Mr. Santiago?"

Scarlette was waiting at the entrance of the Internet café when Hadrian arrived. As soon as she saw Hadrian, she kept the money. Then, she dashed towards him and said, "Mr. Santiago would like you to treat us to some games. He's left. Got some personal matters to attend to. He'd like you to help us go past level 100."

"Let me call him up and verify this," said Hadrian.

"Whatever floats your boat," Scarlette said. "Why did you doubt his words though?"

Hadrian lowered his head and said, "Well, I don't quite believe what you've just said."

While Hadrian was making the phone call, Scarlette gnashed her teeth in anger. After he ended the call, Hadrian said that he had a personal matter to attend to and that he had to make a move. Scarlette grabbed him by the arm and said, "I'm pregnant."

Stunned, Hadrian turned around to look at her. "Who's the father of the child?" he asked.

Scarlette was on the verge of crying. She kicked Hadrian before she turned around and ran away from him.

Hadrian was dumbfounded as he stood there.

Raeleigh took a nap as soon as she boarded the plane. A few hours later, she woke up. She occupied herself with reading books afterwards.

"I've got a few days' time to improve Lanox's design blueprint," Raeleigh said. "Now that you've brought me along, how am I supposed to do it?"

Raeleigh reckoned that Jepherson secretly wanted her to fail the test and subsequently not be able to join the company.

"Why the fuss though?" Jepherson said. "I mean, you could still improve the design blueprint even if you're not at school. Just do it now and send it to Lamarre once you're done." Jepherson was reading a magazine as he replied. Although his remarks made sense, Raeleigh insisted that he had brought her along on purpose and that he was not considerate enough.

"Have you found any clues that could shed light on your sister's whereabouts?" Raeleigh asked. "Haven't you said that you want to look for her?" Raeleigh had been particularly concerned about Jepherson's sister ever since she knew about this matter. It might have something to do with the fact that she was an orphan herself.

"I went looking for her elsewhere recently, but to no avail," Jepherson said. "I guess I'd have to bank on good fortune then. Having said that, I believe I'd be able to meet her one day if she's still alive. In the unfortunate event that we aren't destined to meet each other, I won't be able to look for her no matter how hard I try."

Jepherson put the magazine elsewhere and playfully pinched Raeleigh's chin. He then leaned over and kissed her lips. Raeleigh blushed as she glanced around. To her relief, there were no other passengers in the first-class cabin.

Jepherson frowned. "Silly girl, it's not a coincidence that there are no passengers in the first-class cabin," he said.

"Say what?" Raeleigh said as she gave Jepherson a wide-eyed stare. Jepherson could not help but to burst into laughter. He was so amused that he was laughing his head off. Raeleigh was annoyed. "It isn't funny," she thought. "For heaven's sake, just tell me that you've chartered a plane and stop pulling my leg."
