Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 1099 Accidental
By the time Jepherson finished his work, the sun had already set. Raeleigh left the office together with him. As they walked, she asked Jepherson, "Your family owns an automobile company and you're the boss. Why do you have so much work to do? Does that mean that your family is involved in other businesses as well?"
The corners of Jepherson's mouth lifted in a smile. It was rare for Raeleigh to ask such things, and she had evidently put some thought into it.
"Yes, although we are an automobile company, we have other matters to oversee as well. However, those business ventures aren't our main streams of income. We're just dabbling out of interest, basically testing the market. Cars are expensive. For some well-off people, it's a necessary mode of transportation. But due to the expense, not everyone buys more than one car. Of course, the rich can afford as many cars as they like. If they don't like a car, then they can just put it aside. What about ordinary citizens? It may take them years to save up for a car. Cars have become a luxury for many people. Plus, the market for cars differs greatly from twenty years ago when it was first growing and expanding. Sales have dropped in recent years."
"Our daily necessities like food and clothes cost about a couple hundred dollars while a car can cost up to a hundred times more. The former are necessities but you can survive without the latter. It depends on a person's budget and their purpose."
"Food and clothes are essential to everyone, but without a car, one can still walk, right?"
"A car is not like a diamond. You can't just take it home and keep it in your jewelry box. A car needs petrol to run and occasional maintenance. It could be more expensive than raising a kid. Not everyone can afford the cost."
"There are many other competitors out there, but one has to think twice before purchasing a car produced by the Harvey family. After all, those who can afford these cars aren't the general population. Some may say they can't afford our cars, but to be more accurate, they consider the type of car that would best signal their status and wealth. The more people buy cars, the more these sorts of considerations arise.' "This is why we limit the production of our cars."
"It's too expensive, so of course you will have to limit it. Otherwise, the company will tank," Raeleigh said as the thought occurred to her. Jepherson looked at Raeleigh and replied, "You're right." Raeleigh pondered for a moment and continued, "So, the Harvey family also does other businesses to ensure that they can make up for this loss."
"You can say that."
"However, those businesses inevitably increase the workload of the Harvey Group, whose primary income is from the automobile industry. That's because you need to monitor all the staff." Raeleigh finished. Jepherson smiled. "I can't hide anything from you."
"This is all basic common sense," Raeleigh retorted. During the course of their discussion, they made their way outside the office. The couple waited at the gates. Stuart went ahead to instruct the chauffeur to drive the car over. When the driver arrived, he quickly opened the door for them. After they entered the car, Raeleigh and Jepherson continued discussing the company's affairs. Raeleigh's conclusion was that Jepherson was not as free as Santiago. While he had more power than Santiago, he basically had no freedom at all.
Evidently, his life was not an easy one, what with having to run
mulNorahtional company with businesses all over the world.
Raeleigh felt Calvin's bias towards Santiago keenly. Hadrian, Jepherson's own father, had deliberately handed everything over to Jepherson.
Raeleigh and Jepherson went to the hotel to have a meal. After eating, Jepherson began looking up places to go while Raeleigh lay quietly in bed, thinking about their relationship.
"How about the Mediterranean countries?" Jepherson handed the tablet in his hand to Raeleigh, wanting her to choose a desNorahtion from the list that was displayed. Raeleigh looked at it for a while and replied, "I never thought of going that far away. What about you? Do you like these places?"
"I can't say for sure. I never went anywhere that particularly stood out to me. Maybe because I didn't have the right person with me, it was the same wherever I went. All the places I traveled to were the same t me," Jepherson responded.
Jepherson lay down and put his hands behind his head, quietly recalling a certain incident. Raeleigh took some time to process it. She then said, "I'm the same. I never had anywhere in particular that I wanted to go, ever since I was a child. Didn't you say that you wanted to see the ocean? Let's do that then. It's not like I wanted to travel far anyway. We shouldn't put our work off for too long, so why don't we just go out to the nearby seaside for two days? Didn't you say you wanted to eat mackerel?"
"Have you eaten mackerel before?" Jepherson asked Raeleigh. She shook her head. "A mackerel is a fish, isn't it? Fish are fish, who cares about the type?"
"You're really something. Well then, I'll bring you to the sea to catch some mackerel," Jepherson said. He was a man of his word and wasted no time fulfilling his promises. He brought Raeleigh to the seaside the very next morning.
Once they arrived at the beach, Raeleigh first noticed the luxurious private yacht docked at the harbor. When they arrived, someone got off the yacht. Raeleigh sized the person up. Only the truly wealthy could afford a yacht like that.
Jepherson led Raeleigh onto the yacht. Raeleigh had been under the assumption that it would only be them that day, but she saw Scarlette and Hardian there too when she stepped foot on the yacht. Raeleigh did not know how to react for a moment. She had thought that she would be able to spend these last few days alone with Jepherson. Scarlette and Hadrian showing up was a complete surprise. Although it was somewhat of a pity, the more the merrier, right?
"Raeleigh, are Hadrian and I in the way?" Scarlette shot a glance at Raeleigh as she asked her that. Well, what could Raeleigh say in reply?
"Yes, you all are a bunch of third wheels. What are you going to do then? Are you going to jump off?" Raeleigh pretended to be displeased.
While they were chatting, two people came out from the inside of the yacht. The person walking ahead asked, "Does that mean that we're also in trouble?"
Santiago was only clad in a pair of Sadiel shorts. With his hands tucked into his pockets, he looked more arrogant than ever. His lean physique and silky smooth hair left Raeleigh stunned for a moment. His smile was devilish.
What a strange world. Raeleigh wondered how two brothers, from the same parents, could be so different.
The older brother was completely different from the younger brother...
Raeleigh froze at that train of thought. She suddenly realized that she was the same as them.
She had the same parents as them. They were siblings.
Raeleigh smiled, as she observed Santiago's bright grin. He was supporting himself with one hand on the wall, leaning back while chewing gum.
Then, Raeleigh looked behind him to see who the other person was. Raeleigh did a double take at how skimpily the person was dressed. That person was...
