Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 948 Let's Have A Talk

MLexienna stared at her grandfather, dumbfounded.

Trembling, she stood up and stumbled to her room. She feared that there was no way out of this.

MLexienna entered her room and didn't bother to close the door. She walked right to the window, flung it open and jumped from the second floor. She died instantly.

One of the maids happened to be walking pass MLexienna's room and heard the thud. Her scream immediately brought Eloisa up to MLexienna's room. Eloisa stood at the window and looked down in disbelief. Her daughter had jumped to her death! Clenching her fist to her chest, she stared down in shock. Her daughter was dead! What kind of place was this?

With tears in her eyes, Eloisa stepped up onto the windowsill and following her daughter, she jumped.

The maid screamed again. By the time STristanas rushed upstairs, both his wife and daughter had already jumped to their deaths.

STristanas would lying if he said that he did not hurt, the tears rolling down his cheeks spoke volumes. As for the rest of the family, they were secretly glad that this matter had come to an end.

In the rich and powerful families, being was cold and detached was the norm.

Everyone was the same!

Stuart went upstairs and looked down from the window. Eloisa and MLexienna were both dead. He briefly glanced at STristanas, expressing softly that there was nothing he could have done. Stuart was genuinely confused. Mr. Harvey had no intention of killing anyone. It was the Cook family's indifference that had driven Eloisa and MLexienna to their deaths. That spelled trouble for the family, and their ruin was surely not not far off.

Stuart went back downstairs and returned to Jepherson's side. He said, "MLexienna and her mother had jumped to their deaths."

Jepherson slowly raised his eyes to stare at Stuart and stood up without looking at the others. Their deaths would not solve anything, not even the grievances they've caused. The Cook family was simply too naive!

Jepherson promptly left the Cook family's villa. He briefly glanced at Eloisa and MLexienna's bodies before heading out the gate. Getting into the car, he went back to the hotel.

After Jepherson left, Syncere immediately ordered, "Go to the Cole Family and inform your sister of what had happened."

"Got it," Lucius replied and quickly left. Syncere stared up at STristanas, who stood on the stairs to the second floor. Syncere met his son and remarked, "In order to achieve great things, we must not allow trivial matters to stand in our way. As a man, you must be able to deal with it and let go."

STristanas nodded and said, "You're right."

Inside the car.

"Please call my father," Jepherson bit out with narrowed eyes. He knew that the Cole family would be coming to him.

At that moment, Calvin was with his wife Belle on vacation. They were on the beach basking in the sun when he received a call from his son.

"You've caused this trouble, settle it on your own," Calvin said and immediately hung up the phone. Jepherson stared out the window. That was weird, his father did not even ask what had happened. It was too quiet!

"What happened?" Belle asked Calvin after he hung up. Sipping on his wine, Calvin brushed off her concern, "It's nothing. Our son is urging us to return home."

"So when do we leave?"

"Not anytime soon. We rarely get to go on vacation. Let's not think about that for now."

As soon as they arrived back at the hotel, Jepherson rode the elevator to the penthouse. Entering, he saw that Raeleigh was resting. The sound of locks disengaging woke Raeleigh up and she locked eyes with Jepherson.

Jepherson walked in, shrugged off his clothes and sat down in front of Raeleigh.

Raeleigh sat up from bed and studied Jepherson's expression. While she knew that men like him could kill without batting an eyelid, she felt that he was different. She knew he couldn't kill.

However, she could not read his expression at that moment. Jepherson's eyes were flat and cold.

"What's wrong?" Raeleigh asked Jepherson. He had crossed his legs and looked out the window, avoiding her stare.

When no answer came, Raeleigh debated if she should push the matter. Decision reached, she asked again. "Did something happen?"

Jepherson sat there without speaking for a moment before he whispered, "I don't want to change who I am or how I do things, but I have no choice. There are some lines that have to be crossed."

When Raeleigh said nothing, Jepherson turned to face her and implored, "The Cook family is ruthless. In order to solve this problem, they drove MLexienna and Eloisa to death. Both of them jumped to their deaths."

Raeleigh froze for a moment and stared at Jepherson's clenched jaw. She looked into his eyes and saw bottomless loneliness. She could not stand it!

Raeleigh wanted to but did not know how to relieve his loneliness. In any case, Jepherson seemed to know what she was thinking, as he reached out to pat his leg, motioning for her to go over. Raeleigh hesitated then gave in, she got up and sat on Jepherson's lap.

Jepherson raised Raeleigh's chin and kissed her lips. He kissed her while unbuttoning her pyjamas then letting his hands wander all over her body.

By the time Raeleigh fell asleep, it was already four in the morning. Still, she woke up a mere hour later.

There was no sign of Jepherson.

Raeleigh got up from bed and saw the Jepherson's note on the table.

"I've already submitted a leave request on your behalf. Don't worry, I'm sure the Atkinson siblings know what to do. I have to head over to the Manor today. Have a good rest."

As Raeleigh put the note down she realised that there was a set of clothes ready for her. After she looked it over, she decided that she liked both the style and colour very much. She washed up and change into it.

Nonetheless, she did not listen to Jepherson's instruction to stay at the hotel.

Then again, Jepherson had anticipated her plan. As soon as she arrived at the lobby of the hotel, she saw the hotel manager standing in her way. It seemed as if the manager had been waiting for her. The manager greeted Raeleigh and explained, "Miss Anson, if you would like to go out, I could drive you."

Raeleigh thought about and declined, "There is no need. I will just get a taxi. Could you please inform Mr. Harvey that I have a class to attend?"

The manager agreed immediately, "Of course Miss Anson. I will relay your message to him."

"Thank you for your trouble," Raeleigh said and walked out of the hotel and got a taxi to school.

Raeleigh returned to her dormitory. Since it was the weekend, she thought that no one would be around. She did not expect to find Deanna and Zorion waiting for her.

When Zorion saw Raeleigh enter the room, he immediately stood up from where he had been lounging on Raeleigh's bed.

"What are you guys doing here?" Raeleigh exclaimed in surprise.

"Raeleigh, you are back!" Deanna looked excited and ran over to hug Raeleigh. Raeleigh felt a little embarrassed and said, "I went out for a walk and somehow ended up here." "Raeleigh, I'm so sorry," Deanna blurted out.

"I was also in the wrong. I should not have walked out."

"Raeleigh, let's not argue anymore," Deanna implored and looked at Raeleigh earnestly.

"It's not your fault. There was nothing to argue about, I just overreacted."

Raeleigh looked at Zorion and he looked back without saying a word.

"Let's talk outside," Raeleigh finally said and turned around to go outside. Daenna glanced at her brother worriedly, "do you think that Raeleigh is still mad?"

"It'll be fine. Just stay here with Scarlette," Zorion left the dormitory and caught up to Raeleigh.
