Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1179 Unpleasant Memories

"The relationship between my sister and you is another story. I don't want to interfere with her choice. But you... you may be a member of the Harvey family, but you can't alter the outcome of this matter."

"By killing a person, you have transgressed the law. And by doing that, your man must pay for it. You should understand it." Flynt sneered. "However, you're from the Harvey family, and I can give you some time to talk to your people. Mr. Santiago, I believe that you won't aid and abet in a murder, or will you?"

"Because that sounds like something the likes of you will usually do. We haven't committed any murder. Hence, we don't need to deceive anybody. If your obscurity troubles you so much that you can't help being an attention seeker, then I can lend you a hand. Might I suggest making your glorious 'achievements' the talk of the town?"

"Are you threatening me?" Flynt smirked.

"Uh-oh, I'm only offering help to settle things. You'd better not forget who you are." Santiago turned around to look at Scarlette. "Tell me, what's going on?"

Scarlette answered, "I was, you know, having a disagreement with Hadrian. Then, I talked to the waiter. Hadrian just kind of blew up and punched the waiter, and he passed out."

"I was about to stop Hadrian and tell him not to fight when he and his men stormed in and took the waiter away. Not long after that, we heard the news of his death."

While saying so, she pointed at Flynt, who seemed to be amused, an insufferable smugness displayed on his face.

Santiago, as well, was not a person who wouldn't fight back in the face of adversity. After grasping the gist of the incident, he stepped towards Flynt. "Did you, by any means, set Hadrian up as a scapegoat?" "Jesting, are we, Mr. Santiago? Say, if I wanted to set someone up, then why didn't I target you? To frame a subordinate of yours wouldn't be worth the effort at all. Also, I have never done such a thing." "As for whether you've done it or not, you know it very well, and God knows it too."

"But no matter, the truth will come to light eventually."

After saying this, Santiago took out his phone and made a call. Soon, somebody else came to the police station. In fact, when Santiago came out of the house, Jepherson had been notified of the news. It was just that Jepherson himself was not here. He had sent his subordinates to come in instead.

Entering the police station, one of them hurriedly approached Santiago and spoke to him, nodding.

"Mr. Jepherson is outside. He instructed us to handle this issue. He wanted you and your people to stay out of it, and leave." With that, the man turned around and left.

As Santiago took his leave, Flynt called out to him. "Santiago, previously, you lured my sister away and pretended to kidnap her as a leverage for me to release your man. This time, let's see if you have any other tricks up your sleeve."

Santiago stopped, turned around, and stared at him. "This time, I don't need any d*mned tricks to have the last laugh still."

After that, he left with Raeleigh and Scarlette. The rest of Jepherson's men immediately strode towards Hadrian and gave him a full-body examination to prevent him from being tortured here. Raeleigh followed Santiago. As soon as they exited the police station, Stuart, who was waiting outside, came into their view. Seeing him, Santiago knew that Jepherson had returned.

"He's still alive?" Santiago asked. Stuart quickly lowered his head and replied, "Mr. Jepherson's heart disease needs to be treated overseas. He has been receiving treatment all this while. You've misunderstood him."

"I don't need you to tell me whether I've misunderstood him. I'm clear-headed enough to judge it myself." Santiago walked to a car parked opposite the police station. He then knocked on the door, opened it, and got into it. Raeleigh didn't do the same since Jepherson was also in it. She just stood outside the car.

"Get in, will ya," Santiago told her. However, she refused and went towards Santiago's car, waiting for his return. If Santiago did not come back, then she could take another car to leave.

Scarlette followed her closely and went to Santiago's car. She asked, "Raeleigh, why didn't you get into the car?"

"Why should I?" Raeleigh wore a puzzled expression, which rendered Scarlette speechless. She only said after a long while, "Mr. Jepherson has been receiving treatment abroad."

"Scarlette, I initially wanted to talk you into making peace with Hadrian, but later on, I found that all relationships are the same. If there's room for reconciliation, then we wouldn't have broken up at first. Every relationship falls apart for a reason."

Raeleigh didn't see any point in explaining. She just wanted to let Scarlette know that there was no chance for her and Jepherson to rekindle the old flame.

Pursing her lips, Scarlette felt dejected. However, it was really Jepherson's fault. Hence, Scarlette was in no position to speak up for him.

After waiting for a while, Santiago still had not emerged from Jepherson's car. She didn't know what the brothers were talking about. Thus, Raeleigh told Scarlette to get the key from Santiago, so that the two o them could drive back home by themselves.

Even though Scarlette felt that it would displease the brothers, she still did as Raeleigh said.

To Scarlette, both Jepherson and Santiago were terrifying. Be that as it may, her relationship with Raeleigh prevailed over her fear towards them.

She ran over and got the car keys before she came back, driving Raeleigh back home.

Inside his car, Jepherson's eyes were fixed on Raeleigh when she got into another car. His eyes didn't stRhys elsewhere even as she left.

"She's already gone. What are you looking at?" Santiago leaned to one side with his legs crossed. Hearing his words, Jepherson shot an indifferent glance at him before he ordered the chauffeur, "Follow them."

The chauffeur looked around and started driving. At that time, Stuart was in the car, too. They followed Raeleigh and Scarlette from behind. Jepherson couldn't be relieved if he didn't see Raeleigh arrive home safely.

When they reached home, Raeleigh got out of the car to find that Jepherson's car was nearby, but she didn't give much of a response. She turned around and walked while thinking about something. Scarlette told her, "Mr. Jepherson must be worried about you because he's been following us all the way back."

"It's not necessarily because of us that he does that. Santiago's also in his car. He might be following Santiago to come back, do you understand?"

After Raeleigh finished her words, she went back to her room. Scarlette stopped and took a look at the gateway. While she was wondering if Raeleigh had hit the nail on the head, Stuart got out of the car and opened the door for Santiago. Subsequently, Santiago really emerged from the car. At that moment, Scarlette had the impression that Jepherson was insouciant to the point of being ruthless.

"My men will follow up with Hadrian's case. Mind your own business," Jepherson said as Stuart closed the car door. Santiago laughed. "You'll never win a girl's heart if you keep it up with your ego." Jepherson didn't hear anything, but Stuart did. He glanced at Santiago before he turned and sat back in the car.

As the car was driven away, Jepherson's eyes slowly landed on the upstairs windows of Raeleigh's house. They were dark, so she didn't go back at all. It turned out that she couldn't be bothered to look at him, not even for once.

Stuart was seized by a deep concern for Jepherson. He didn't know what was going on between Raeleigh and him.

He thought the two of them were just fine before that. He mused, "How could they break up all of a sudden? And the baby, was it really because of Mr. Jepherson that it was lost?" Leaning against the seat and raising his head, Jepherson closed his eyes. "Head for the hotel."

"Not the Ink Garden?" asked Stuart. Jepherson didn't answer him. Frowning, Stuart remembered that the miscarriage stemmed from the elevator incident at the hotel, where Raeleigh had been trapped inside. Wouldn't it, he thought, evoke Jepherson's unpleasant memories by going back to the hotel?
