Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1467 Sat Down and Never Got Up

Jepherson walked in and glanced at Jacky's hand. "If it weren't for me, you would've been dead. You're following his lead to mess around?"

Jacky looked down at the back of his hand. After making sure it was alright, he let go and looked around, asking Jepherson, "I can't believe you have other men like Stuart by your side; I thought he's the only one."

"It's impossible there would be no one around me. Only you will think such a thing."

Jepherson took a sudden glance at Santiago and stepped inside. Santiago turned to look at his brother before turning to Jacky's swollen hand. "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay. It hurts, but my hand is still attached. If it weren't me, this hand would definitely be gone."

Jacky had always thought Jepherson was not the type to care about protection. After all, he had never seen anyone following him around apart from Stuart and his driver.

Unlike Santiago, even the slightest mishap would result in people appearing.

But it seemed that it wasn't the case.

"You don't know my brother at all, do you? Two things about him are terrifying; one is that he's sinister, and the other is vicious."

You just haven't seen that side of him yet. When you do, you'll think otherwise."

"What's the story?" Jacky followed Santiago in; he picked up the knife and put it away. Santiago chuckled and said, "As I caused a lot of trouble when I was a teenager, I got bullied. He asked me how, and I told him they ganged up on me."

"The next day, he brought them to me and told me to bully them, so I did."

"But their leader later came to get even with me, and we fought. I didn't know which b*stard tore my clothes. When I went home, I looked particularly disheveled."

"He asked me again, and I told him it was their leader."

Later, he took his pocket money and hired the best lawyer to ruin his family's reputation. If not for our mother, he would have sued his father until he had been imprisoned."

"You could say the matter was settled, and I thought everything was over."

"But the guy couldn't let it go. He hired a few people to kidnap me and took me to the mountains. He wanted to starve me to death and leave with the money."

"My mother was scared spitless and cried bitterly; my family was in a glum state."

"My father brought Jepherson with him into the mountains to pay the ransom. But my father fought against the kidnappers halfway through their journey while Jepherson came to save me. The ringleader gave me a huge dose of sleeping pills. I, on the other hand, was a dead weight. My brother found us and agreed to give the money to the kidnapper. But after the guy took the money, he slipped on the cliff. Jepherson could've lifted his arm and grabbed him, and the guy even begged for help."

"The effects of the pills were starting to wear off. I slowly opened my eyes, only to see Jepherson standing on the top, looking down. He was sixteen at that time, and he watched the man fall off the cliff without even blinking an eye."

"Do you know what I saw?"

"What?" Jacky was very cooperative.

"Viciousness."

Santiago recalled, "Growing up, as long as it had nothing to do with me, Jepherson would barely bat an eye. But if I'm involved, my brother will become a devil."

"It is a little abnormal for a sixteen-year-old not to flinch seeing someone fall off a cliff, but I wouldn't call him a devil." Jacky could understand how Jepherson felt to see his brother kidnapped and unconscious. Humored, Santiago said. "That's where you're wrong. Although he didn't kill the man, he deliberately drove him to the cliff for him to fall off."

"When I woke up, I watched him take the bag that held the cash off his back, unzipped it, and threw all the money down the cliff, leaving them everywhere."

"When the police got to that guy, none of them were in the mood to deal with him. They had their attention on the money. All because my father said the money didn't matter; our safe return was more important than anything else."

"Also, my father never told me how much the ransom was. In other words, they decided how much I was worth."

"I think Jepherson had thought of using this against them from the beginning. He used the money to bribe him to save me. If that guy left sooner and was not greedy, he may still be alive."

Jacky was amused. "Are you afraid of your brother?"

Santiago glanced at Jacky. "You're not?"

"No." Jacky didn't think there was any reason to be afraid.

"If you do Deanna wrong, maybe the person you have to deal with isn't Zorion or Mr. Atkinson but him."

"I don't think so," Jacky said.

"Have a try, and you'll know."

Santiago entered the house, and Jacky followed suit. They didn't see Raeleigh and Jepherson right away and thought it was strange. Santiago asked, "Where's Raeleigh and Jepherson?" "They're in the kitchen."

Scarlette really couldn't think of anything else to eat, so Jepherson gave her a lot of money. She bought some ingredients and invited them over for a barbecue; it was a perfect night for it. However, there were too many ingredients, and someone had to get them ready. Serra couldn't manage herself, so Scarlette asked Raeleigh to help out; Jepherson followed her. Santiago glanced at the table and sat down to watch TV. Xanthus was sitting on the other side, talking to Scarlette. She was asking how much her operation would cost for her to be able to stand. Her money didn't grow on trees; of course, she had to ask.

Hadrian was sitting on Scarlette's other side.

"Serra, you go out first," Jepherson said. With Serra around, he couldn't get to Raeleigh.

After Serra left, he went to Raeleigh.

She was washing vegetables, so he helped.

"Still mad at me?" Jepherson asked, but Raeleigh didn't answer. She had long gotten over being upset, but she couldn't pretend nothing had happened, nor could she ask anything of him.

After all, he didn't believe what she said.

"I grew up with Stella after all, and the Doyle family is no ordinary family," Jepherson explained. Raeleigh didn't say anything and continued to wash the vegetables.

Seeing that she wasn't responding, he leaned in and gave her a kiss. Raeleigh dodged, but he still managed to kiss her.

She wanted to roll her eyes at him.

After that, neither of them spoke. If Raeleigh washed the vegetables, Jepherson would help. All in all, whatever she did, he followed.

When the food was all ready to cook, Raeleigh left the kitchen, Jepherson following behind.

Everyone sat around the table.

After everyone sat, Raeleigh went to sit beside Scarlette. She thought no one would change seats after they were all seated, but Jepherson switched seats with Scarlette and never got up after that.
