Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1213 Determinedly

"You do realize that he could've misconstrued your actions, right?" Xanthus continued as Raeleigh remained uncommunicative. Xanthus also knew that Raeleigh had been through a rough time recently and that she refused to let any advice sink in.

There was no point in trying to talk her out of it.

Raeleigh stepped out of the car as soon as Xanthus pulled into a parking lot. Xanthus knew that everything was feasible as long as Jepherson was not mentioned in the process.

Their arrival at the campus saw them branching off into their separate ways. Xanthus reminded her to be careful.

Lowering her head, Raeleigh bore her gaze through the notebook in her hand. Then, she made her way to the lecture hall and knocked before entering. As soon as the lecturer gave her permission, she strolle in as naturally as possible.

Her body almost seized up the moment she set foot in the hall. Was that Jepherson Harvey?

At that moment, Jepherson was sporting a pair of black pants and a white shirt. He had his hands pressed against the table as he stood on the platform. Raeleigh could not believe her eyes: How in God's name had he materialized where he should not have?

However, it was too late now. They exchanged glances, engrossed in their own thoughts.

Jepherson spoke first, "Oh, you're late. Make sure you come earlier next time."

Raeleigh pursed her lips. If her memory served her correctly, she and Xanthus had left the house before him. There hadn't been a traffic jam along the way, nor had they made any detour. But voila! Here he was, winning the race.

Raeleigh remained reticent. Jepherson swept his eyes across the room and said, "There is an empty seat in front of Santiago Harvey. Do claim it for yourself."

Raeleigh seemed to be immersed in an entirely different world from him as she remained despondent.

Jepherson watched as she trudged to the seat in a daze, asking, "Why, Miss Anson, are you okay?"

The last time she had daydreamed in class, he had punished her by making her stand outside of the class. She wondered if history would repeat itself this time.

In her defense, Jepherson could not punish her anymore.

Raeleigh suddenly came to her senses and was startled to see Jepherson. She stepped back and almost hit the table. Jepherson reacted quickly and grabbed her tightly, holding her in his arms. Raeleigh raised her hands to push him away. She started to blush, her breathing ragged.

Jepherson immediately let go of Raeleigh when she pushed him away.

He stared deeply into her eyes, but his tone was soft as he spoke.

"Be careful now. You may return to your seat," After saying that, Jepherson went back to the podium. Raeleigh turned around and headed for her seat, her mind rattling as she tried to calm her senses down. Just when she finally felt a little calmer, Jepherson was halfway through his lecture.

Jepherson picked up a chalk and began writing on the blackboard. Raeleigh stared as he rolled up his sleeves and scribbled non-stop, nothing from the lesson registering in her mind.

Soon, the class was over. Raeleigh packed up her things and was about to leave the class. However, Jepherson stopped her. He said, "Raeleigh, follow me to my office. I doubt you listened to a single word I said during the entire lecture. I figure I should explain it to you."

After saying that, Jepherson turned around and left. Raeleigh was reluctant to follow him, but in the end she braced up and did as she was told.

She soon found herself standing outside of Jepherson's office, not wanting to enter. She mustered up an excuse, "I have something else waiting for me..."

"Are you afraid of me?" Jepherson walked towards Raeleigh. She was subsequently pushed against the wall.

"No, not at all. Honestly, I have something to do."

"Do you really? Or are you just trying to avoid me?" Jepherson asked, pleased with himself. Raeleigh found his actions hilarious. She hadn't gotten on his bad side, but he acted as if she had. "Come in, will you," Jepherson grabbed Raeleigh's hand. She struggled for a moment before breaking free.

Just as Raeleigh was about to leave, Jepherson turned around and pulled her back into his office. Then, he slammed the door shut behind them. Raeleigh was pressed against the door. Taking a deep breath, she clamped her hands on his shoulders and grunted, "Consider yourself warned. Don't you forget what our actual relationship is."

There was a hint of sadness in Jepherson's eyes, but he did not let her go.

His face was a mask of anger and hatred as he snarled, "You've never believed my words, but why did you believe me when I told you that you are my sister?"

Ever so calm, Raeleigh stared at his cold handsome face and replied, "Because I know that it's the truth." Jepherson snorted.

His face was taut with mockery. He lowered his head, but not to kiss her. Instead, he let out a sigh.

Raeleigh felt uneasy. She turned around and looked elsewhere. She did not dare to push him away. They were deadlocked. A few minutes later, Jepherson lowered his head and kissed her neck. Raeleigh was so scared that she shrunk back. She tried to push him away, but when executed, she felt as if her heart was breaking into two. She raised her head and just stared straight at him, gasping.

Jepherson could no longer keep his impulses on a leash. He opened his mouth to suck on Raeleigh's neck until she yelped.

Only then did he let go. He pulled Raeleigh over to his desk and drew the blinds closed. Then, he sat opposite Raeleigh, exchanging glances with her. Raeleigh felt uncomfortable as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

"Would you like to share with me what you have learned from my lesson just now?" Jepherson asked after a while. Raeleigh looked at him and knew that he came here to look for trouble. He was the vice president of the Harvey Group, and instead of heading to the office, he came here to impart a lesson to her. He had never done this in the past, so why the gusto now?

"I listened to every word of your lecture," Raeleigh wanted to leave Tristany, so she lied.

Jepherson laughed, "Oh, really? What did you learn?"

Raeleigh remained silent, laying bare the truth: she had not paid attention at all.

"Since you listened to every word, then why don't you tell me what you learned? You may leave after that," Jepherson was no longer irritable. He knocked on the table, took out a book and glanced at it before tossing it aside.

Raeleigh caught a glimpse of the book on the ground. Frankly, she had not paid attention in class, and was therefore unable to share anything.

However, she wanted to leave as soon as possible, so she said, "I don't really understand, sir. Would you mind explaining it again?"

Jepherson observed her carefully before leaning back in his chair, "Look, I can only start my lesson after you sit down. I'm not going to make you stand while I teach. Agreed?" Raeleigh then sat down and waited for Jepherson to explain the entire lecture to her. However, he dilly-dallied in all his glory and took his lovely time to explain the lecture to her. "Will you be coming tomorrow?" Jepherson asked useless questions as he flipped through the book nonchalantly.

Raeleigh said nothing and just looked at him with a poker face.

"Do you believe me when I say that I will strip naked in here?" Jepherson asked her. Raeleigh was amused. She challenged him to it, "Be my guest."

Jepherson stood up and started unzipping his pants first. Then, he started unbuttoning his shirt, and then his cuffs. Just as he was about to take his shirt off, Raeleigh's expression finally changed and she called out to him, "This is as far as you go."

Jepherson propped his hands on the table and looked at her, "It agonizes me to know that you're my sister. I am also sad that we had to terminate the pregnancy, but I can't do anything about it because the damage has already been done. Raeleigh..."

Raeleigh stood up and made her way towards the door. Jepherson shouted at her, "Where can you go? Even if you reach the ends of the earth, the same blood will still flow in your body - the same blood as mine."

"Bang!" Raeleigh slammed the door behind her and left determinedly.
