Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1283 Hadn't Started Fighting Yet

A few seconds later, Jepherson turned around and went towards the sofa. Sitting down, he closed his eyes. Then, he said, "It's not the first time the old lady sent someone after Raeleigh's head. This time, I was stopped halfway. If I don't agree with her demands, they will kill Raeleigh. What should I do?"

Santiago strolled down the stairs and sat down as he spoke.

"That has nothing to do with me. I'm only interested in one thing, which is whatever I want to do. I've already told you, if you can't do it, then I will. You disappoint me."

Jepherson stared daggers at Santiago and scoffed, "Is there something wrong with your brain?"

Santiago shrugged, "If you really want to compete against me, that's not a problem. Go home and have fun with all the girls around you."

"Women are the most terrifying creatures to ever exist. Never underestimate them. Stella Doyle isn't as simple as she seems. I don't know if she's really interested in you, but she must be planning something. I you feel guilty, then go back home and don't come back."

"Now that you and Raeleigh have broken up, this has nothing to do with her."

"You've misunderstood me," Jepherson looked away. He wanted to stand up and look for Raeleigh that instant.

Santiago laughed, "We'll find out soon enough, but I don't have time for that right now. You should leave."

With that, he got up and went upstairs. Leaning on the couch, Jepherson squinted and sat there for the entire night.

Similarly, Raeleigh didn't get any rest that night. She was constantly worried that Jepherson would break her door down, but that didn't happen. She was so tired that she eventually fell asleep.

Once dawn broke, she tiptoed downstairs but didn't see Jepherson. After asking around, she learned that Jepherson had already left.

Scarlette sat on the sofa, her arms folded in front of her chest as she said coldly, "He's never been like this before. He sat here, all alone, for the entire night without any sleep. Raeleigh, have you poisoned him? Have you made him sick?"

Raeleigh wanted to snicker, "Sick? Wasn't he already sick to begin with?"

Just then, a door opened from upstairs. Raeleigh turned around and found that it was Jacky. Whilst his footsteps were steady and imposing...

He didn't really look well.

Raeleigh turned around and looked at Jacky. He looked as if he was in a foul mood as the urge to kill was written all over his face.

She recalled what had happened yesterday and figured out why.

Jacky looked carefree and unbothered about life. Raeleigh thought that he was the type of person who wasn't pressured by society and lived freely. However, once he met the woman he loved, he would shed his pride and wild nature as long as it meant he could be with her for the rest of his life.

The day before, Deanna didn't look very good. If that was the case, was Jacky angry because of her?

When he reached the bottom of the staircase, Jacky glanced at Raeleigh before looking away. Santiago wasn't here. Then, he strutted into the kitchen, grabbed a bowl of soup then went upstairs.

He returned to his room upstairs and didn't come out again.

Meanwhile, a car belonging to the Atkinson family arrived at their front door.

Raeleigh wasn't the type to have a lot of guests over. Because of that, Xanthus invited two more helpers over so she could have a good rest. These two were housekeepers, not servants. Their priority was to clean the kitchen and the rooms.

Raeleigh opened the door in person. Zorion got out of the car, looked at her and walked towards the door, "Is Deanna here?"

With her eyes locked on Zorion's car, she realized there was another person in the car who was looking at them from inside.

Raeleigh thought for a moment and answered, "They're here."

"I want to see Deanna. Please tell her to come out," Zorion wouldn't step inside. He wanted to take Rossie to the hospital. She looked very sick.

Looking behind her, Raeleigh then said, "Wait a minute. I will ask about it."

With that, she turned around and went back to ask. Santiago was seated on the sofa downstairs and stopped her, asking, "Is Zorion at the door?" Raeleigh turned and looked at Santiago, replying, "He's looking for Deanna."

"It's alright. I'll go," Santiago got up and picked up an apple. He walked towards the door and ate the apple as he walked. Raeleigh followed him downstairs and advised, "Stop eating. We'll be having a meal soon. It's not good to eat an apple so Tristany in the morning."

However, Santiago continued eating, ignoring Raeleigh's remarks. With no choice, she stopped trying to say anything and instead, followed him melancholically. If she had known that it was useless to say anything to him, she wouldn't have done so in the first place.

When the two of them reached the door, Santiago stopped and looked up at Zorion. The corner of his mouth curled up and he spoke with an evil look on his face, "What's up?" "Where is Deanna?"

Zorion wasn't being polite at all as his face darkened. Santiago was still his brother. No matter how unpleasant their relationship was, it was still better than most people's.

No matter how much trouble their family caused, the same blood flowed in their veins. During dire times, they would still stand united as a family.

This time however, Zorion was very disappointed. His men noticed that Jacky's men had already occupied several locations in the capital. This was also due to his negligence. He didn't realize his mistake until he had lost control of half of his turf.

"Deanna isn't feeling well and is resting upstairs. If you're here just for her, you should head back. I will take care of her," Santiago finished eating his apple. He wasn't cold even though it was the middle of winter. He threw the apple core into the trash can and placed his hands on his waist. Without any warm clothes, he only had a single velvet sweater on and half of his collarbone was exposed. He stood at the door with his hands on his waist. His posture angered Zorion, and it made him want to beat him up...

"Open the door right now and bring her down. Don't make me call your brother, he'll teach you a lesson."

Zorion didn't want to confront Santiago head-on, not because he was afraid of him, but because they had fought once before. He had already exposed his weakness to him. Although their friendship had been ruined when they fought, along with a couple of their bones, he still found himself trusting Santiago.

Jepherson and Santiago were brothers, through and through. If something happened to Jepherson, Zorion would be the only one to help him then.

Santiago looked amused. He took two steps forward and placed his hand on Zorion's shoulder. He leaned against him with a smile and licked his lips, smirking, "Are you going to call my brother?" Santiago said through gritted teeth, "Why not call my parents? I'm actually afraid of them more."

"Santiago..."

Zorion was pissed, "I have some business to attend to. Hand her over to me, or I'll have to get rough with you."

"Well, you are most welcome to. If you can't beat me, please leave right away."

"Are you saying that I'm weaker than you?" Zorion laughed. He had always been superior to Santiago since they were kids. Did Santiago really think he stood a chance?

Santiago didn't waste any more time talking. Instead, he opened the door and started stretching.

Raeleigh turned around and grabbed Santiago's coat. When she stepped out, the two of them were staring at each other and hadn't started fighting yet. She thought that things wouldn't escalate into a brawl, so she didn't plan to advise them.

However...
