Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 932 How was that Good News

Raeleigh accepted the call and as she expected, an old man's voice came over the phone.

"Young lady, you've crossed the line. Now, Jepherson is looking for all over the place for me. It seems that you won't understand what type of person I am until I show you what I can do." "I didn't do anything. He went to search for you of his own accord, because he found out that you all came looking for me. That was your own fault. You can't blame it on me."

"Hmph! Say whatever you want. First, I'll show you what I'm capable of, otherwise you won't obey me."

"No, wait! I'll do what you say," Raeleigh shouted, panicked. She was worried about Novalie, her grandmother.

The old man paused for a moment, and then said, "Good. But you have to prove to me that you're really on my side."

"How do I prove it?"

"Use your phone and call Zorion. Ask him to pick you up. We will be watching you."

Okay."

Raeleigh answered. Abruptly, the phone call was cancelled. She sat there in a trance for a while before she made the call to Zorion.

When Zorion arrived Raeleigh was standing outside wrapped in a coat, looking skywards.

Hearing the sound of the car engine, Raeleigh looked over.

Zorion did not get out of the car, so Raeleigh walked over, bent down and peered inside the car.

The window was gradually rolled down. Then, Raeleigh asked, "Can you take me for a ride?"

It took Raeleigh more than half an hour to think of a reason to ask him out.

Zorion pushed the door open and said, "Come on in."

Raeleigh sat a safe distance away from him when she got into the car.

"Let's drive around the lake for a while," Zorion leaned on the door, looking at the scenery outside of the car. It seemed as though his mind was occupied.

The interior of the car was very spacious, but Raeleigh remained stock-still in the furthest corner away from Zorion the whole time. She didn't say anything, nor did she show any emotion. They were so far apart from each other that two more people could fit in the space between them.

The driver drove around the lake in circles. Zorion didn't ask why she called. Raeleigh didn't tell him why either.

After a few rounds, Zorion said, "Send Miss Anson back."

The driver glanced at Zorion in the rearview mirror, nodded and drove Raeleigh back immediately.

When they reached the place, Raeleigh got out of the car and turned to look at Zorion, "Thank you for taking me around." Zorion simply angled his face to the other side, refusing to look at Raeleigh. All he said was, "Be careful."

Raeleigh did not respond. She turned to walk back to her room.

The driver got out of the car and closed the car door. Then, he settled himself back into the driver's seat and drove off.

Raeleigh went down to her room and stood there for a while. At two o'clock in the morning, stars were twinkling in the sky. It was only after she gazed at the sky for a while that Raeleigh went back to bed. Hearing the door open, Scarlette sat upright on her bed.

Her lights were still on. Thus, Raeleigh did not concern herself with waking Scarlette up. Since they were staying in the same room, Scarlette would definitely know if anything happened.

Initially, Scarlette thought that Raeleigh had gone out for a walk because she couldn't fall asleep. However, she couldn't find Raeleigh when she went out to accompany her, so she began to worry. "Where have you been?" Scarlette got up from the bed. Raeleigh shook her head and said, "Nowhere in particular. I went out to see the stars and forgot the time."

"You're lying. You obviously went out with Zorion. Raeleigh, don't tell me you're in love with Zorion?" An anxious expression was plastered on Scarlette's face. If Jepherson were to find out about this, she couldn't imagine how furious he would be.

"Don't talk nonsense. I don't even like Jepherson. How could I like Zorion?" Raeleigh took off her coat and went to lie down on the bed. Scarlette was watching Raeleigh as she confessed, "It always feels like you have a lot on your plate to me. I get the hunch that Mr. Jepherson will suffer because of you sooner or later. Raeleigh, promise me you won't hurt him. Then, I won't tell him about this. Do we have a deal?" "I promise," Raeleigh lay down beside Scarlette and pulled the quilt over herself.

Scarlette looked at her. "Raeleigh, you aren't lying to me, right?"

"No, of course not," Raeleigh closed her eyes then. She didn't want to say anything more. If she didn't sleep right there and then, there was no way she could fall asleep later.

Raeleigh soon fell asleep, but Scarlette was tossing and turning on her bed.

If Scarlette did not tell Jepherson about it, she did not feel at ease. On the other hand, she would feel sorry for Raeleigh if she did. After all, they were friends, and Raeleigh had saved her many times regardless of her own safety.

Scarlette finally fell asleep at dawn. Raeleigh got up Tristany the next morning to prepare breakfast. As soon as she went into the kitchen, she received a phone call.

It was from that old man in the car. Raeleigh picked up the phone and stared at the bowl of eggs on the counter.

"Young lady, you did a good job last night. Now, you have to think of a way to stir up conflict between Zorion and Jepherson. The more intense the fight, the better. Both of them must suffer. If you do that, your task completed and I assure you that we won't hurt your grandmother." The call was cut off there. Raeleigh went back to prepare breakfast. She could not give anything about the matter away.

Before Raeleigh could eat, a car pulled up at the door. Raeleigh went outside to see who it was. It was Deanna and Zorion. They got out of the car, having brought a huge basket of fruits over.

Deanna walked ahead of Zorion. Their chauffeur followed behind the two, carrying the basket.

"Miss Anson," The driver greeted Raeleigh as he approached and handed the basket to her. He then exited swiftly.

Raeleigh was focused on Deanna and Zorion. She asked, while holding the basket, "What brings you here so Tristany in the morning?"

"We were planning to have breakfast here," Deanna stepped towards Raeleigh's house, without waiting for an invitation. Zorion stood behind her. As always, his appearance and the charisma he rAl Diarted was alluring to many.

It took Raeleigh a long time to think over it before she finally said, "Come in."

Raeleigh reckoned that since they had come all the way here, she could not possibly reject them.

Raeleigh strolled into the house after them. She did not neglect to prepare two more plates and sets of cutlery. They began eating soon after.

"It's delicious," Deanna complimented as she ate. Novalie sat at the head of the table, staring at her. Why was she eating as though she had been starved for days?

Zorion was busy indulging in his food, but in a very elegant manner. Novalie snuck a sideways glance at him.

That child was not a simple one. She could tell from the way he looked at Raeleigh.

After breakfast, Novalie went back to her room. After recuperating in bed for two days, Hadrian had fully recovered. Deanna was curious about him. She went to stand in front of him and asked, "You're Hadrian?"

Hadrian didn't answer. There was no expression on his face.

Zorion, opposite them, did not react to Deanna's question. At that moment, Deanna began circling around Hadrian as she asked, "Are you Scarlette's brother?"

Hadrian continued to remain silent. Confusion was written all over Deanna's face. "Isn't Scarlette an orphan?"

Hadrian still kept quiet. Deanna gave a loud gasp, "I see, you're mute!"

An offended look flashed over Hadrian's face, but it soon disappeared.

At that, Scarlette pulled Deanna outside, "No more questions! I never asked anything about your brother also. Don't you have class?"

"I'm not going. Tell you a good news! I'm also on leave. I'll be staying here with my brother," Deanna said, beaming. Scarlette's face drained of color. How was that good news?
