Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1184 Seek Justice

Cynthia blocked Santiago's caller ID on her phone to prevent him from getting through when he tried to call her back.

She arrived at the elevator lobby, turned on the recording function of her phone and put it in her bag before she entered the elevator to go to Room 307.

After she came out of the elevator, she found Room 307 and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly. Cynthia gazed at the person standing in front of her. It was not Yanora, but a mediocre-looking middle-aged man.

Cynthia said when she saw the man, "I'm sorry. I got the wrong room."

"No, you came to the right room. Your sister told me to wait for you here. You are Cynthia Cole. I know you," said the man. Cynthia staggered briefly when she heard what he had said. She remained still and said, "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm looking for my sister, not you."

With that, she turned around to leave. To her consternation, the man pulled her in and closed the door right away.

"You did not make a mistake. Your sister asked me to come here. Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving." The man spoke as he dragged her inside. Cynthia tried to struggle but he tore her clothes off instead.

She took a few steps back and observed the room before saying, "Wait a minute. Say it again. Who made you come here?"

She put her hand into her bag while she asked and stared at him. She was trying to buy some time.

The man laughed despicably. He had been thinking about sleeping with Cynthia for a while then.

"Who asked me to come here? Of course, it's none other than your sister, Yanora. Who else could it be?" said the man as he approached her. Cynthia shook her head. "That's impossible. My sister will never do this to me."

"Nothing is impossible. Your sister has offered you to me. She told me that since Santiago Harvey had asked people to humiliate her, she wants you to be humiliated as revenge. Then, I'm going to cut off two o your fingers. That was our deal."

"Leave me alone. I do not believe you. She's my sister, and we grew up together. She will never treat me like this. You must be lying to me. Do you think I'll believe you?"

She thought for a moment before continuing, "Don't come any closer, or else I am going to make sure we die together."

"Die together?" A sinister smile spread across his face. "Do you think I'll let that happen?"

"Yes." Cynthia took out the pistol and aimed at the man. He was taken aback when he saw the pistol and took a couple of steps back. "You want to kill me?"

"I'll kill you if you get any closer. You're the one who made me do it. You knew I'm a member of the Cole family, yet you are still doing this to me. You'll be punished."

"You've been no longer recognized as a member of the Cole Family since a long time ago. Yanora has already notified me of it."

"Then, try me. I'll kill you if you come over. Mark my words."

"Hmph! I don't think there are bullets in your gun. Your sister told me that you've been timid since young, and that you always keep to yourself when you're in trouble. Let's see if you indeed have bullets in your gun," said the man while he leaped towards her. Cynthia pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Cynthia tensed up and she started to shiver.

"You..." The man didn't expect that her pistol was loaded. He stared at the gun wound and tried to raise his hand to point at her, but before he could do so, he fell to the ground with a thud.

Cynthia froze. She slowly lowered her head to look at the man, who was struggling on the floor and moved himself to one side of the room. Then, she aimed the gun at herself. With another loud bang, she collapsed to the ground as well.

Santiago shuddered as he heard the gunshot when he came out of the elevator. He sprinted towards Soom 307. It wasn't until he left the hotel that he discovered that Cynthia was only ten minutes away from him.

He made a dash for the door and kicked it open.

"Cynthia."

Santiago entered and saw Cynthia, who had fainted onto the ground. He approached her quickly and glanced at the pistol in her hand. He then bent down to pick up the pistol and carried her out of the room. He sprinted towards the elevator. When the doors opened, Zorion's men came into his sight. They were surprised for a second before they gave way to him. Santiago held her tightly as he rushed to the car and they headed straight for the nearest hospital.

"Doctor... Doctor..."

After entering the hospital, Santiago shouted for help. The medical officers brought her to the emergency room right away when they noticed the gunshot wound.

Santiago followed them into the emergency room. The doctor tried to stop him, but he refused to leave. The doctor had no option but to let him be.

The medical officers had no way to deal with a stubborn person like him.

"The heart is intact. Fortunately, the bullet did not pass through her heart," said the doctor as he performed the operation. Santiago finally felt more reassured as he heard what the surgeon had said. He waited in the operating theater until the surgery ended.

Following that, she was sent to the intensive care unit. Outside the ward, Santiago stood with his arms on his waist and lowered his head to calm himself down.

Zorion's men were waiting for him by the side. After a long time, Santiago finally said, "Go to the scene and check if the man has died. If he hasn't, then give him two more shots." "Yes, sir."

They turned around and left while Santiago remained rooted to the spot. After a while, he sat down.

The doctor updated him on Cynthia's condition. "Miss Cole has managed to survive the critical period, but it will take a long time for her to recover. I suggest that she recuperate abroad. There are still some shortcomings in terms of the local medical technology."

"I'll consider your suggestion. Please take good care of her."

"We will."

The doctors left, leaving Santiago alone in the empty corridor. He stayed in the hospital for the entire day until Jepherson came to visit at night.

Santiago turned his head to look when he heard footsteps approaching. When he saw Jepherson, he turned his face away.

"How is she?"

Jepherson walked over to take a look through the window of the intensive care unit and found that she was still unconscious. He then sat down beside Santiago.

Santiago raised his head and took a couple of deep breaths. "I won't let her off the hook easily."

"If you want to get revenge on her sister, then you'd better make hay while the sun shines. She will stop you from doing it once she wakes up." Jepherson didn't try to talk Santiago out of it. He thought it was fair since they hurt Cynthia first.

Santiago looked at him. "What about you?"

"To bring down the Cole family has never been our intention. Although we were regarded as their opponent all this while, all we ever wanted was to establish a foothold in Capital City. We only wanted to compete fairly."

"Throughout the twenty years of hard work, we have neither let anyone down, nor did we harm anybody. Brooklyn is not a fool. There's no such thing as the eternal ruler, and it doesn't matter who rules the city. It's just that we managed to catch up on them."

Jepherson had no intentions to bully anyone. However, some people had crossed the line, and so he wanted to seek justice from them.

He took a glance at Cynthia and added, "Even though she is from the Cole family, you are her family ever since she left the Cole family for you. Now that somebody is trying to hurt her, we have the right to seek justice for her."
