Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 875 Deanna's Visit
Paige sat down with Jepherson's help and he told her all about Quirina stealing Raeleigh's work. Paige really hadn't seen it coming. This little punk from the Cole family named Quirina was so shameless that she had stolen someone else's drawing and was now still trying to fight for her 'reputation'.
"How did this kind of person from the Cole family come into being?" Paige had nothing else to say.
Jepherson looked tired. He got up and said, "I'm going to rest. I have to go out at night. If someone from the Cole family comes, then please help me deal with it."
"Someone from the Cole family?" Paige looked at her grandson thoughtfully.
Jepherson didn't say anything either and went back to the room to get some rest. Paige called out to Stuart, "Stuart, is the Cole family looking for the Young Master?"
"Madam, Yousif's Lennox had come to look for him earlier," Stuart answered truthfully. Such a thing had indeed happened.
Paige's face suddenly turned nasty, and she snorted. "You did such a shameful thing, but you still have the audacity to come to me. You are really shameless and untouchable!" She thought to herself.
"Stuart."
"Madam," Stuart hurriedly replied.
"Pack up a fruit basket, the best one. Send it to the girl named Raeleigh and tell her that I gifted it to her to help her calm down."
Stuart was stunned for a moment and he then asked, "Is it alright to do this, Young Master..."
"If you and I don't say anything, then how will he know? Stuart, the Cole family has humiliated us, so we have to do the same as well. Otherwise, they will really think that the Harvey family is easy to bully." After Paige finished speaking, he immediately went off to prepare the gift. After Stuart left, she looked at the servants around her and said, "Did you hear that? Someone might come later. Do I need to tell you what to do?"
"There's no need, madam. Don't worry."
"Mmm." Only then did Paige get up to get some rest. She was just a daughter of an insignificant mistress from the Cole family. How dare she vie for her grandson?
Raeleigh didn't expect to receive the fruit basket from Jepherson's grandmother. She was still in a daze, sitting on the bed. Scarlette unwrapped the fruit basket, picked a fruit, washed it, and cut it in half to be shared between her and Raeleigh.
"Eat." Scarlette took the first bite of her half of the apple. This expensive apple was certainly delicious.
Raeleigh held on to her half of the apple. "Is this really a good idea?"
Scarlette looked at Raeleigh and said, "What's wrong with it? You can't throw it out if it's gifted to you. That would be disrespectful of you. It's better not to waste it by eating it."
Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Scarlette and took a bite of the apple. She was right. She could not throw the fruit basket away as that would be impolite of her. Besides, if she threw the fruit basket away, then it would be a waste. So, she had to eat it.
Raeleigh talked to Scarlette as she ate her apple. Scarlette did not know much else to talk about, so they ended up talking about gaming.
A day had passed in the blink of an eye. Raeleigh was reading a book when evening fell. Just then, a knock on the door was heard. Scarlette got up and went to open the door. She was stunned at the people she found outside the door. She looked back at Raeleigh, who was reading her book and did not respond as she had assumed it was simply one of the hospital staff.
Scarlette was used to Raeleigh's bookworm habits, so without asking her for confirmation, she had accepted the fruit basket gift and invited Zorion and Deanna into the room.
"Please come in."
After receiving the invitation from Scarlette, Deanna turned her head to look at Zorion and followed him into the room.
Raeleigh turned around and fixed her eyes on the person who came in, and was stunned for a moment.
Seeing that she got company, Raeleigh put down the book in her hand and asked, "What brings you all here?"
"We've come to see you." Deanna was very enthusiastic, from the depths of her heart.
After entering the room, Deanna walked towards Raeleigh and sat opposite her. "How are you?"
"I'm fine. It's just a mild heat stroke. I'm fine." Raeleigh was receptive to people being nice to her. She smiled at Deanna.
Deanna stared at Raeleigh. "Your face looks pale. You must be in poor health. These people are too negligent, to have arrested you like that without sorting out the truth. I heard that Quirina has been creating a lot of trouble for you. But fear not, for justice will always prevail for those in the right."
While Deanna was talking, Scarlette pulled a chair over, saying, "Mr Atkinson, please take a seat."
Zorion sat down unceremoniously and crossed his legs. He gazed at the pale face and thin body in front of him. Usually, he could not see the shape of her figure under the school uniform. But then, she did indeed look so thin that a strong gust of wind would almost certainly have blown her away.
Zorion stared at Raeleigh for a while and he then looked at his sister, Deanna. He was infuriated over Quirina's evil deeds, but he had to put on a supportive face for his sister.
Standing on one side, Raeleigh took a look at Scarlette, and said, "Scarlette, please help me get two glasses of water for Miss Atkinson and Mr. Atkinson."
"Sure." As Scarlette went to pour some water for the Atkinson siblings, Raeleigh looked at Deanna and said, "Thank you for visiting me today."
"There's my brother too," Deanna mentioned him on purpose. Raeleigh froze for a moment. Then, she took a look at Deanna and glanced at Zorion, not taking interest in the way he was dressed.
If it were any other woman, then they would've squealed at the sight of him.
But Raeleigh didn't, neither did Scarlette.
Raeleigh simply treated what had happened as any other normal thing. She was neither overly humble nor pushy, but just acted with a calm indifference.
"Thank you to you both," Raeleigh replied. Deanna was disappointed. She took a look at her brother, Zorion, and said, "In fact, you don't have to care about what those people think. The innocent people are always level-headed. Those people don't know what's going on. You don't have to care about them."
Deanna thought for a moment before she spoke. Raeleigh nodded. "You are right, Miss Atkinson. Do what you need to do and ignore other things."
"Don't call me Miss Atkinson. It sounds very awkward. We're actually in the same course. It's just that we don't share the same classes. Why don't you call me Deanna and my brother Zorion?" In the end, she pulled Zorion in as well.
Raeleigh did not answer but she simply smiled.
Deanna did not leave immediately. When she saw Raeleigh reading the book, she took the book over and took a look at it. "So, you like reading this kind of book too. I like it, too."
Deanna took the comic book and showed it to her brother Zorion. "Both Zorion and I like comics."
Raeleigh actually wanted to say that the comic was not hers, and that Scarlette had simply lent it to her to pass the time.
"I saw it." Zorion was always patient with his sister, Deanna. As for others, it was another matter.
After that, Raeleigh listened as Deanna chatted. She quickly felt sleepy even as Deanna continued pattering on.
Zorion took a look at the time and stood up.
"Let's go. It's time to go back."
"Zorion, I want to stay." Deanna did not want to leave, so she held Raeleigh's hand.
"If you don't go back, then who will accompany your mother for supper?" Zorion said and Deanna thought for a moment before saying, "Why don't you give Mom a call then?"
"No." Zorion glanced at Raeleigh. Her dark eyes seemed to be looking at something deeper. He said in a calm tone, but there was a hint of rejection in his voice.
