Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1257 Now That I'm Here, No One Can Touch Her

Knowing that Stella was in the hospital, Paige rushed over. Deanna was already dead in the water as it is, as the Harvey family wouldn't accept someone like her.

Raeleigh was even more unreliable. She did absolutely nothing. Her reputation was already in tatters, and yet she strutted around like nothing had happened. Didn't she say that she'd never agree to marry? When she arrived at the hospital, she rushed towards Stella's ward. At first, she was in tears as she opened the door. After she asked around, she found out that this had involved Raeleigh somehow. "That little b*tch, she actually..."

While Paige was talking to herself, Jepherson stepped out of the bathroom and stared at her with an even gloomier look on his face. "Grandma, you'd better be careful with what you say."

"How dare you talk to me like this?" She sat on the bed with a sullen face. She often disregarded any mention of Raeleigh, but she couldn't help getting angry at the very mention of her name. She had never met such a shameless person like Raeleigh in her life. She had stalked her and constantly sought ways to get into her home.

A mongrel was way worse than a dog that didn't do as they were told.

"I'm just reminding you to watch your manners when you speak."

"Humph, you've no need to."

Paige was breathing heavily. It became harder to breathe as she got older. She would often struggle to do so whenever she got upset.

This saddened Jepherson. He got up, walked over, and poured a glass of water for her.

She was furious. She raised her head and looked at him. Without saying anything, she tossed the water that Jepherson had poured for her to the ground.

Jepherson's hand was scalded by the hot water. Stella called out, "Your hand, Jepherson your hand."

"It's better if I died. I don't want such a grandson in my life."

Stuart went to call the doctor over. He approached the doctor right away. The doctor quickly went over to Jepherson and checked his hand. This had to be dealt with immediately. Jepherson was a man, but he had been spoiled ever since he was a child. His skin was delicate, even more than a woman's.

A glass of hot water had spilled on his hand when Paige pushed it away.

Jepherson sat on the bed motionlessly with a blank look on his face. Paige still wasn't over it however and didn't feel any remorse at all.

Stella felt sad and she then burst into tears.

He felt much better after being treated by the doctor. At the very least, it didn't hurt anymore.

But everything else was still there.

Stuart left, and the ward fell quiet. Paige looked coldly at Jepherson. "You'd better have a change of heart soon. I'm warning you until I'm good and dead, you'll never walk through those doors." "She's a poisonous scorpion, and she'll never stop with Stella."

Paige trembled with anger, but Jepherson didn't say a word.

Looking down at his bandaged hand, he then looked at Stella and said, "Raeleigh wouldn't do that."

Stella was stunned for a moment. "It wasn't Raeleigh. I accidentally fell as I chased after her, and then I stumbled and fell down."

"Wasn't there a video recording? Show me the video. What really happened?" Paige wouldn't let the matter go until she had proof to nail Raeleigh down for good.

"There's no need for that." Jepherson refused without any hesitation. Paige laughed. "What are you afraid of? Scared to look at her ugly face?"

Jepherson's black eyes grew deeper. A chill ran down his spine. Even Paige had never seen such anger from him before.

However, Paige was a grandmother, and her son's wife listened to her. Belle had never gone against her in all these years. She treated her like her own mother. She didn't believe that it was impossible to subdue Raeleigh.

"In my eyes, Raeleigh has always been beautiful. Both as a person and in her heart. But everyone has an ugly side. Even then, I will still accept her."

What's more, I've already seen much uglier faces in my life. What is there for me to be afraid of?"

"Well, let's watch the video then. See how ugly she is for yourself."

For Paige, this matter won't end until the fat lady sang.

Jepherson looked at her. "Whether it was Raeleigh's fault or not, I'll deal with it. Now that I'm here, no one can touch her. Even if she is in the wrong, she must have done it for me because she cares about me. He stood up. Paige's entire body trembled. "You... what did you say?"

She glared at him angrily. He turned around to face her. "I said, without my express permission, no one is allowed to touch her. Whoever does so, I will end them. No exceptions." After saying that, he pushed the door open. With a thud, he turned around and walked away.

Paige was so angry that she almost fainted. Stella, who was lying on the bed, frowned and looked at her. "Grandma, you don't have to do that. There is nothing wrong with Jepherson and Raeleigh. I think..." "You're being silly. If they really are good for each other, then why would you still be so disagreeable? Besides, who could ever be better than you?" Paige held Stella's hand. "Why are you being so silly? What do you think of me, I wonder?"

Stella sighed. "I really don't understand why you want us to be together. You had the same treatment too. Now, you're like this too?"

"Does your grandmother also think the same?" Paige was happy to hear that.

Stella's face turned red. After thinking about it, she said, "Grandma said that it would be good if the two families could come together by marriage, but unfortunately..."

"What's unfortunate?"

Paige was puzzled. Stella smiled and said, "Two birds forced to live in a cage wouldn't be as happy as those that are free."

"How is this forced?"

"I don't love Jepherson, and he doesn't love me either. Isn't that forced?" Stella laughed.

Paige explained, "You feel this way because you're not being sensible. Look around, who else can compare to you when you're with Jepherson?"

Stella thought about this for a moment and said, "You're right."

"That's right."

"But Raeleigh and Jepherson are a couple, and I don't love Jepherson. I've always thought of him as my brother."

Stella had made her position clear.

Paige glanced at her with some reluctance. "Raeleigh is safe, for now, but you are still you. I don't approve of them. Even without you around, I won't allow them to be together. Tell me what happened. Did Raeleigh frame you?"

Stella considered it but was still afraid. She shook her head.

Paige slowly stood up. "If you won't say it, then I'll have to find out for myself. I will head to the company to investigate this matter."

"No, Paige, please don't..."

Stella pulled on Paige's hand. Paige looked at her, waiting for her to tell the truth.

Then, Stella said, "If I tell you what happened, then you have to promise to put this matter to rest. Only then will I tell you."

"Go ahead then."

Stella then explained that she had accidentally fallen down, and then Raeleigh was cold and detached towards her.

Paige sneered. "She's jealous of you. Jealousy is born from hatred. She wants to disarm you. If you continue to compete against her, then she won't be able to get what she wants."

Stella sighed. "Grandma, don't lie to me. If you lie to me, then I will go back. Let's stop all this. I don't want Jepherson to think that I've said something unpleasant."

"Don't worry, I have a way to get my hands on the surveillance footage. I'll destroy her reputation when the time comes. Then, we'll see if she still has the gall to stick around in the Harvey Group." Paige smiled as she had just witnessed the dawn of a new day.
