Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1073 You Don't Know Me.

"I understand your point, Mr. Lee, but there's one more thing I have to mention that you may not have considered." Jepherson hesitated for a moment and reached out to hold Raeleigh's hand. Raeleigh didn't flinch. Since it was the truth, she believed that Lamarre would not spread the news if he was acting in her best interests.

Jepherson looked at Raeleigh with affection while she, on the other hand, didn't say anything. Jepherson put Raeleigh's hand down on his lap. He then looked at Lamarre and said, "Raeleigh is pregnant. This may affect your lessons, but if she is well enough, then I won't interfere."

Lamarre sat still with a frown on his face. After a while, he said with a scoff, "You're quite capable."

Jepherson smiled and said, "Mr. Lee, the matter I mentioned that you may not have considered is Raeleigh's wellbeing."

"Mr. Lee, you and I know that the competition in the current work field is intense. If one is not careful, then one will get hurt. If Raeleigh becomes successful right now, then there's no doubt that someone will do something bad that catches us off guard. Therefore, I hope for Raeleigh to remain under the radar for now. All her designs are temporarily handed over to the company to be managed. Of course, Raeleigh's ability will be made public sooner or later, but not now."

"In addition, if Raeleigh becomes famous, then the Harvey Group will have the definite power to keep Raeleigh attached to the company for a lifetime. Besides, there will be no money talk, and it will not be an obstacle for us to come to an agreement as well."

"If other companies want to take Raeleigh under their wings, then the Harvey Group will do whatever we can to do the same. A part of it is out of my own selfishness. Raeleigh is the future wife of the vice president of the Harvey Group. I will certainly reward her and give her the recognition she deserves as her husband. I wonder if that is enough to convince you, Mr. Lee?"

What else could Lamarre say? They were family. It seemed as if he was intruding in their family affairs.

However, Lamarre said, "Since Raeleigh is my student, if she can't get what she deserves in the future, then I will make you pay."

"That won't be a problem." Jepherson smiled, and his grip on Raeleigh's hand slowly loosened. What Raeleigh was worthy of should be given to Raeleigh, and nothing would be less. Everything would be fine as long as he was there.

Raeleigh blushed as she sat on one side, not knowing what to say.

No matter what, they made it seem like it was none of her business.

Afterwards, Lamarre said, "So, according to what you said, I guess there won't be a recruiting ceremony?"

"Of course, but Mr. Lee, I don't think you care about this type of ceremony," Jepherson said with a smile.

Lamarre's face darkened. "Who said I don't?"

Raeleigh was speechless...

That old man was getting more interesting by the second.

Jepherson glanced at Raeleigh and said, "We can have this apprentice ceremony at a later date. However, I do not wish for Raeleigh to be disturbed, so I hope you can postpone this ceremony for now." After a long time, Lamarre didn't get the upper hand at all. Raeleigh thought that Lamarre wanted to take on a grand apprentice recruitment ceremony, but he was persuaded back by Jepherson's words. Raeleigh didn't know either. Was it because Jepherson was very eloquent or that Lamarre's ability to adapt was not as good as that of Jepherson? All in all, Jepherson won that battle.

As for Lamarre, Jepherson had already shown enough respect for him by addressing him as Mr. Lee. He also announced in front of Lamarre that they were having a child. Lamarre was open-minded. For the sake of Jepherson's attitude towards him, Lamarre also won't make things too difficult for them.

Lamarre looked at Raeleigh, who was sitting still on one side, and said, "Weren't we going out for dinner? Let's go. I'm hungry."

Lamarre stood up and walked around, waiting to get dinner. Jepherson stood up and looked at the time. Although it was still Tristany, it would be just about the right time when they arrived at the place. "Let's go. Mr. Lee. I've been waiting for quite some time to treat you to dinner," Jepherson said as he stepped out of Lamarre's place while pulling Raeleigh outside with him. Then, Raeleigh broke free of Jepherson's grasp and stood at the door, waiting for Lamarre before they went out together.

"How did you know this kid? Why do you have such poor taste in men?" Lamarre deliberately asked in front of Jepherson. Jepherson was walking in front with Stuart beside him. They were only two steps away from Raeleigh and Lamarre. Raeleigh believed that Jepherson had clearly heard what he had said. However, Jepherson ignored him as if he couldn't afford to offend Lamarre.

Raeleigh wore an embarrassed smile. "I think he's a great person."

"Is it because of his good looks?" Lamarre asked. Raeleigh thought for a moment and said, "He's responsible, hardworking, and filial." "Are you flattering him?"

Raeleigh was speechless when she heard Lamarre's question.

Raeleigh did not answer. She followed Lamarre to the elevator with Jepherson and Stuart, after which they went downstairs together.

After they stepped into the elevator, Raeleigh stopped talking. At that time, Lamarre was still asking questions. Raeleigh kept nodding to show that she agreed with whatever he had said.

Even Stuart could tell that Raeleigh was worried that it would be too troublesome. Lamarre was the kind of person who asked all kinds of questions and spoke too much.

Raeleigh sat in Jepherson's car, and even Stuart also invited Lamarre inside. However, Lamarre had his own car, so he drove his own car over.

As the door was closed and the driver started the car, Raeleigh breathed a sigh of relief like a deflated balloon. "That was tiring."

Jepherson suddenly chuckled. "This is the first time I've seen you behave this way. It must have been a torture."

Raeleigh frowned. "I think my teacher behaves like a child."

"Despite that, he is very talented and has creative ideas that make him stand out from the others. He can look at a drawing and give an accurate judgement of it. When my mother met him, she was beaming as she listened to him talking, as if she had obtained a treasure. I heard that being his student for a month has more significant improvements than being tutored by another designer for a year, so this is a great opportunity."

Jepherson told Raeleigh sincerely. Raeleigh nodded and said, "I also think so. It's just that he has a weird temperament."

"Mr. Lee rarely stands on the fence for others. I've known him for years. This is the first time that I've seen him defend someone else. If I were to tell my parents, then they'll be shocked. Raeleigh, you're lucky." Jepherson raised his hand to brush Raeleigh's nose. Raeleigh smiled happily.

With a teacher who looked after her, she would soon be very successful.

The car stopped, and Raeleigh got out of it. Jepherson waited for Lamarre to get out of the car with Raeleigh. Then, the three of them went in for a meal. After that, Lamarre drove back. Jepherson sent Raeleigh back to the company. The two went to his office, made out for a while before Raeleigh went to Lamarre's place to attend a lesson.

He would always spend the whole morning trying to persuade Jepherson and talk about the conditions and requirements. Raeleigh had attended Lamarre's lesson in the afternoon. She felt that she had benefited a lot from his lesson. Although she did not practise drawing, she gained a whole new perspective regarding a car's structure.

"Mr. Lee, where are you going? Are we heading the same way?" Raeleigh walked to the door and was used to Lamarre referring to her as his apprentice.

Lamarre lowered his head as he cleaned up the table. "Don't worry about me. You don't know me."
