Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1165 Courtesy Shown to a Kidnapper

Before Jacky could do anything, more than ten people had already blocked Santiago's way. Santiago stopped and turned to look at Jacky. "You think these people can stop me?" "They can't, but I can."

Jacky approached Santiago, his eyes gleaming with a ferocious look. He raked his eyes all over Deanna, who was cowering in terror.

"You?" Santiago smiled. "What if you can't?"

"If I can't, then you're free to take her away, just like her older brother," Jacky answered. Hearing this, Santiago crouched a bit to allow Deanna to get down from his back.

"Deanna, come down."

Deanna shook her head. "No."

"Listen to me. I said I'll take you away from here and I'll deliver my promise. If I can't, then I'll stay with you too," said Santiago. Only then did she come down from Santiago's back and stand aside. "Bring it on. Let's fight."

Santiago walked over to the side, waiting for Jacky to come over. Under the streetlamp, the two men beheld each other. Jacky was ruffled by Santiago's appearance.

Before this, Jacky had only seen two most visually stunning human beings, one of which was Deanna, and the other one himself.

Now that Santiago was here, Jacky felt a great deal of pressure.

Although their good looks weren't quite the same, Jacky felt it would be no exaggeration to say that Santiago's appearance was awe-inducing.

Moreover, Santiago seemed to be very young.

"How old are you?" Jacky asked. Santiago did not hesitate to answer either. "Seventeen."

"Seventeen?"

Frowning, Jacky cast an inquiring look at Deanna. "Is that so?"

"Hmm." She lowered her head slightly. Right then, she could accept anything other than staying here. The living conditions here were too harsh for her. She could only have potatoes and steamed buns for her meals. There was nothing else.

She wanted to go home, but Jacky wouldn't hear of it.

She was scared stiff at the thought of having to stay here and couldn't go home.

Jacky gazed at her. "You told me that he didn't touch you? Do you still remember it?"

"Yes, I remember," Deanna replied, looking into his eyes. Jacky then laughed. "Then, were you lying to me?"

"No, he really didn't touch me. I do like him, but he doesn't like me." When she thought about this, she was still a little unhappy. If it weren't for Santiago, then she wouldn't have run away and got herself abducted. In her mind, it was all Santiago's fault.

While she was complaining to herself, Jacky asked, "Do you like him?"

"Mmm." Deanna craned her neck and looked at the shocked expressions in the surrounding people's eyes. Her head was lowered and she wasn't very certain if she still liked him that much then. Jacky gritted his teeth. "Come here."

She stepped back, shaking her head vigorously.

Santiago glanced at her. "Go to him."

Deanna looked at him in surprise. "Aren't you taking me away?"

Impatience was written all over Santiago's face. "He won't hurt you."

Jacky shot a glance at Santiago before he walked towards Deanna. At the thought of wearing tattered clothes, eating potatoes, and being bullied, Deanne turned around and made a dash for the main road. Seeing her reaction, Jacky stopped. "Don't run, I won't chase after you."

Deanna kept sprinting towards the road, as if she hadn't heard him. Meanwhile, a car roared over from a distance, and it was insanely fast. Additionally, there were more than a dozen cars behind it. Santiago's face fell as he looked over. "D*mn it!"

Stepping forward, Santiago yelled at her. "Stop! Don't go up there!"

Deanna shook her head. "No, you are all bad guys. I want to go home, I want Mom and Dad, I want my brother..."

Deanna couldn't care less. It was as if she could get home once she had made her way to the road. She ran desperately towards the road. As a result, when she made it to the road, the car was too close to her. In a flash of light, Deanna looked at the car, shrieked, and fell to the ground.

Afterwards, the car screeched to a halt, and the following cars also came to a stop, successively.

Jacky stood rooted to the spot, his face turning pale. "Little fool."

There was not even the slightest movement from Deanna. Behind him, Santiago was also left dazed. A while later, he shouted, "Deanna..."

Jacky threw a dirty look at Santiago before he strode towards the road. Just when he was about to get close to Deanna, a man had already carried her in his arms. After glancing at Jacky, he bent down and go into the car.

Instantaneously, Jacky walked to the side of the car and pulled open the door, intending to get inside. However, a group of men approached and surrounded him.

Jacky's men backed him up one after another. If they had been at an advantage in terms of numbers earlier on, then they were outnumbered at the moment. Any possibility of defeating the other party was out of the question.

"Leave her here, or else, you won't be able to get out of Waverly Village."

Jacky's men stood in front of the car and sat on the trunk, forming a human barricade. The glass windows of the car were tinted black, encumbering one from seeing the situation inside. In fact, Jacky was not bluffing. Without his orders, no one would be able to leave the village, even if they had managed to enter.

Santiago arrived at the road too. He lowered his head and surveyed the place where Deanna had fallen down. There was not a drop of blood on the ground. He then observed the license number on the car. It appeared to be Zorion's car.

It didn't take long for the driver inside the car to get down. He looked at Jacky and said, "Miss Deanna has bled too much. If we don't send her to the hospital at once, then it'll be too late."

Jacky's countenance turned deathly pale. "Let them go."

"Jacky, they..."

"Make way." Jacky took the lead to give way. He stared at the car, trying to catch a glimpse of Deanna, but before he could see it, the car had already left.

"Get that car, follow them," Jacky instructed. Logan brought along some men, ran down, and drove their own car through another intersection, closely following behind Zorion's car.

Jacky also wanted to get into his car. Santiago gazed at him for a moment. "Come with me. I'll take you there. You can't get in without me."

Jacky was mystified to hear that. "And why would you do this?"

"That's my business." After Santiago spoke, he shot a glance at the cars below. "You'd better stop your men from following them. The Atkinson family's power reaches every corner in Capital City. They're unconquerable there. It's not wise to challenge them there."

"Not necessarily." Jacky didn't care about Zorion at all. Had he been afraid of Zorion, he wouldn't have blackmailed him.

Santiago gave him a meaningful look. "She's in his hands. Do you want to fight him or do you want to have her?"

Jacky took a deep breath. "Let's go."

After that, Jacky got into his car and ordered his men to go out.

"Jacky, we'll go with you." One of Jacky's subordinates spoke to him when Jacky got into the car. "There's no need for it. Go back and release those two people, as well as that old man." "What about you?"

"I won't die. Don't worry about me."

The act of going to Capital City alone screamed of a suicide mission.

Jacky started the car and whizzed speedily onto the road. Sitting in the front passenger seat, Santiago looked outside calmly as though nothing had happened. He made a call.

Concurrently, Jepherson had fallen asleep, and so, no one answered Santiago's call.

Santiago couldn't get through, therefore he called Cynthia instead.

After Cynthia picked up the call, she got out of her room to look for Raeleigh, who then answered the phone.

"I need to talk to my brother," said Santiago. Raeleigh replied awkwardly, "He hasn't had a good rest, so I gave him half a sleeping pill. He hasn't woken up."

"It's just half a sleeping pill, not the whole bottle of them. What are you so worried about? Wake him up, I've something urgent to tell him." Santiago didn't care. Consequently, Raeleigh had to go to the room upstairs and wake Jepherson up. She called out to him twice before he roused himself.

Jepherson sat up in a daze. He picked up Santiago's call and raised his wrist to check the time. "I got it."

Putting down the phone, he took his clothes and got up. Raeleigh asked him, "What happened?"

"We've found Deanna, but she might have been frightened. Currently, she's being taken away by Zorion. I'll go and take a look." Just when he wanted to change clothes, Scarlette happened to stand by the door. Jepherson's expression darkened. "How about you come in and get a good, hard look?"

Upon hearing this, Scarlette left right away while Raeleigh helped him change his clothes.

Just getting up from a deep slumber, Jepherson did not recall his current relationship with Raeleigh at all. He quickly put on his clothes and coat, and walked out. Raeleigh watched him go out and followed him "I want to go, with Scarlette, too." Sensing that Scarlette was not at ease, Raeleigh made a suggestion. Jepherson took a brief look at them. "Let's go."

After exiting the door, Jepherson called Zorion. "Where are you? Have you found Deanna?"

"Yeah."

Hanging up the phone, Jepherson sent a text message to Santiago. Both of them were heading for the hospital.

Zorion had entered Capital City's zone, so Jacky's men had to stop the car. Jacky told them to go back first while he went to the hospital with Santiago.

But when they arrived at the hospital entrance, there were people coming down and blocking them from entering it.

Santiago called Zorion, who brushed him off by asking his subordinate to answer the call. Santiago snorted in response to that. "What's your name?"

The subordinate didn't dare to tell his name. He kept apologizing, and he then subtly hung up the phone.

Standing aside, Jacky was concerned about Deanna, and his mind was in chaos. He had already taken out his phone to make a call when Santiago grabbed his hand, stopping him. "Keep your cool. Don't try to raise h*ll."

"I want to see her." Jacky had never been like this before. He felt so on edge and unsettled, and had lost his ability to consider things carefully.

Santiago released his grip. "Don't worry. I'll let you see her."

"Why did you help me?" Jacky furrowed his brow.

"There's no reason, nor does it need to have a reason."

Jacky fell silent for a moment. "What's going on between you and her?"

"We grew up together," Santiago explained simply. Jacky was perplexed briefly before he calmed down a little. "Does she like you?"

"She liked my brother at first, and then me."

"What do you mean?" Jacky's brow knitted deeply. Santiago gazed at him. "She is still a child."

Jacky sneered. "A child who doesn't know what she wants?"

Santiago did not reply but he checked his watch instead. At that time, a luxurious limousine stopped behind him.

Scarlette got out of the car hurriedly and opened the door at the back. Subsequently, Jepherson came out of it, followed by Raeleigh.

The two of them got out of the car, exchanged a look, and walked to the hospital together.

Santiago swept his eyes over them and waited for them to come over. When they had reached the entrance, he introduced Jacky to them. "Meet Jacky Scott, the man who kidnapped Deanna." Jepherson threw an indifferent look and stretched out his hand. "My pleasure."

Raeleigh stood aside speechlessly. She wondered if any rule book dictated that courtesy had to be shown to a kidnapper.
