Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh stared at Hanschel with what seemed to be a brief moment of doubt but still she approached him. Her quiet and beautiful eyes shrouded in ice and snow gazed at him as she said, “Did you think that you got the court to give you a life sentence due to your own capabilities?”

Something shifted a little in Hanschel’s eyes, a faint look of incredulity in them.

Raeleigh surveyed the people around them. Jepherson was somewhat astonished, but Raeleigh had never said what she didn’t mean.

“I might as well tell you. The one who did your operation, I was the one who hired them. I wanted them to operate and treat your injuries. When you filed for lawsuit, I was the one who paid for it to get through the channels as you followed from behind.

This court trial, the initiator of it all isn’t you, but me. You underestimated me a little too much.

“I can cripple all four of your limbs, and I can leave them intact to live like a decent person. If I were you, I would act like a fool and stay in a psychiatric hospital for two years until things blow over. Once things had calmed, I would come out again to settle my debts.

To stay low and wise up is the best course of action. Unfortunately for you, I know your character very well and you’ll definitely never let this go unanswered.

But you have miscalculated. Remember this well, never have a woman as your enemy, otherwise you’ll be played till you are dead!”

Beneath the pair of sunglasses he wore, Jepherson inadvertently glanced at Raeleigh.

His hand tightened around her waist, a kind of worry being brewed in his heart.

This Raeleigh in front of him, did she really have no intentions to retaliate against him? If she did, then how would he end up?

Raeleigh raised her head up to study Jepherson, before she turned back to Hanschel who seemed to be in shock, “The reason why I want you to get better is because I want to send you to a certain place. Once you’re there, you’ll have no chance of getting out. You’ll never see the light of day again.”

“What are you going to do?” Hanschel had seen first hand how cruel Raeleigh could be, and he believed that what she said wasn’t all bluff. Raeleigh divulged, “You should know very well what I’m going to do. A life for a life. As you’ve done so many terrible deeds, I’m just sending you to a place where you can pay with your life.

Don’t worry, I’ll come visit you.”

“Let’s go.” Two people stood behind Hanschel’s back, one of them gave a nudge to prompt him to leave.

It was only then Jepherson realised that those two didn’t seem to be ordinary prison wardens. They looked a little too upright to be one.

“Wait a minute, which department do you belong to?” Jepherson tried to stop them, but the other party did not pay attention to him. They proceeded to press the person directly into the car and drove away.

Jepherson dragged Raeleigh into the car. After that, they tailed the car from behind only to lose them on the road. Jepherson called the traffic bureau to get the surveillance footage out but to no avail.

Later, Jepherson went to the bathroom. When he came out, Raeleigh had disappeared. No matter where he searched, he could not find her.

No one even answered the phone.

Jepherson may hold the entire city in the palm of his hands, but he still couldn’t fish out Raeleigh’s whereabouts.

Jepherson called Jacky to ask whether he knew her location. Jacky replied that he didn’t know. Jepherson laughed mirthlessly, “You don’t know where she is? Then do you know where Deanna is?”

“Jepherson, if you do this again, I promise you…”

Jepherson hung up the phone and looked back at Jared. “I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourself. Bring Deanna to me.”

Jared glanced at Jepherson. “There will be problems if we do this.”

“I’m past the point of caring about it anymore. Those who challenge me, I’ll challenge them back.”

“I understand.”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Jared immediately went in search of Deanna. Halfway down the road, he met with Jacky who was also in search for his wife. Jacky demanded that Jared get down from the car but was ignored. The only orders he listened to was Jepherson’s.

Once they arrived at the Whalen’s family entrance, Jacky jumped out of his car, headed for Jared and stood in his way, “Don’t think that just because you’re one of Jepherson’s men that I won’t do anything to you. If you take one more step, I will have you arrested.”

“I’m just following orders. If you think that this can intimidate me, then continue with your empty threats.”

Jared took a step forward and Jacky reacted without further ado.

Jared evaded. Soon after, both of them came to blows. By the time Zorion stepped out of the house, they had fought for quite a while. He observed the situation for a moment. Although Jacky wasn’t at a disadvantage, the problem was that since Jared was already here at their doorstep, it was a matter of time on whether he could get through or not.

“Fehmen, have a go with your fellow compatriot. Jacky, is this worth your identity?”

It was only then Jacky stepped back. With a gloomy expression, he turned around and headed for Rayan’s house. Rayan himself stood in the doorway as he watched everything unfold outside with much confusion. He asked Jacky, “What happened? Why is Jared here?”

Jacky gave a rough account of what had happened. Rayan’s face darkened, “Nonsense. He was the one who lost Raeleigh, why did he need to kidnap my daughter?”

Jacky didn’t answer. Rayan immediately called Hansen who was watching television at the time and was being depressed. When Jenna said that she would ignore him, she truly did. She had slept in the room together with their youngest son, unwilling to let him in, nor speak or see him. He didn’t know what caused her bout of temper during the New Year’s, he could only watch television all by his lonesome now. When he received Rayan’s call, he thought that they were going to have some fun together, but the more he listened, the stranger he felt about the whole thing.

“Your daughter is about to be kidnapped?” Hansen found it amusing. ‘If you knew that your daughter was about to be lost, then you should properly protect her. Why are you telling me?’ he thought.

But then Rayan rebuked him, “Talk to me again after you have a talk with that son of yours on what is going on. If my daughter really got kidnapped, I’ll see you in court.”

Rayan hung up the phone and glanced at Deanna. “Why aren’t you going back to rest?”

“Okay.”

Deanna went back upstairs. She didn’t know who she had offended. Why did they always want to kidnap her? She had gotten tired of being caught all the time in this game of tag, it’s about time they changed to another target.

Once she went upstairs, Jacky also went back.

Hannah, who was downstairs all this while, missed her grandchildren and had no appetite to eat.

Not that Rayan didn’t think about them, but as they had yet to return, his hands were tied.

Raeleigh got out of the car and glanced at the Green House prison. It was already evening. During this period after the New Year, the atmosphere inside the prison walls was warm. Even meal times weren’t strictly adhered to, which was much better than the usual treatment.

Raeleigh simply strolled in from the side door, which garnered some stares from the prisoners who saw her. There were some who greeted Raeleigh with smiles on their faces.

Raeleigh had made sporadic visits to this place before, but had not come by in recent days. Nevertheless, it was known that with Raeleigh’s arrival, that meant extra meal portions for the next few days. Additionally, they also knew that the reason for her presence here was to meet Austin.

Everyone was aware of the relationship between Raeleigh and Austin. Whenever she came by, she would always stay inside his room. If a woman came in the dark of the night to the prison, spent all night in a man’s room only to leave before dawn; if she wasn’t here to accompany a man, what else could it be?

All the people in Green House prison, from the wardens to the common prisoners, knew about Raeleigh’s presence here. However, they dared not speak a word about it. All of them knew that within the four walls of Green House prison, a death of a man was as common as them eating their meal and all of them would like to live for another day or two.
