Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1618 We've Lost So Much Already

Raeleigh sat for a while before she got up and helped Jepherson to lie down. Xanthus so happened to

enter the room at the same time. He did not suspect anything.

"Although they are just superficial wounds, they can still get infected. So, you have to be careful."

Xanthus stood on one side, his eyes deep and sharp. This incident reflected the law of the jungle.

Xanthus realized that the weak were the prey to the strong. A couple of days ago, Jacky attacked

someone else. Not long after, Jepherson was attacked.

What Raeleigh said was right. In this world, it was every man for himself.

Jepherson lay in bed and said, "I want Raeleigh to stay in my room and take care of me these few

days. It's best if she stayed here too. I'm sure you know how stubborn she is. I can't control her as I'm

bedridden for now, so I need your help to keep an eye on her."

Raeleigh froze for a moment. Then she turned her head to look at Jepherson. What did he mean? Did

he just call her stubborn?

Raeleigh frowned. Why didn't he call her a scoundrel instead?

Raeleigh did not say anything. When she saw the serious look on his face, she instantly knew that he

was worried that something would happen to her at this time.

So, she kept quiet.

Xanthus said, "No problem."

Jepherson continued, "Tell Colston and Louisa that the furthest place they can go is the Harvey Group

Manor."

"Alright."

Jepherson seemed hesitant. "Can you please get Jared for me?"

Jepherson asked Raeleigh. She silently went to open the door and informed Jared, who was standing

outside. "Mr. Jepherson is looking for you."

Jared entered the room and walked to the foot of the bed.

Jepherson instructed, "I want you to block all exits leading out of Capital City. Then I want you to

release a statement on behalf of the Harvey family saying that I am seriously injured."

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. Jepherson closed his eyes and continued, "Can you also contact Jacky

for me and inform him to block all exits leading out of Waverly Village? Tell him to make sure not even a

single fly can leave the village."

"Do you..." Jared was somewhat absent-minded.

"After that, I want you to contact the Cole family officials and tell them that in the coming election, we

will be voting for Jacky."

Raeleigh lowered her eyes. She wondered whether this was his plan to make the Cole family lose

control in Capital City?

Jared nodded his head before he turned and walked out. After he left, Jepherson said, "Raeleigh, can

you please go over to the Ink Garden and inform my dad about what happened?"

Raeleigh raised her head and looked at Jepherson. "You want me to go?"

"Yes, if someone else went, I'm not sure how my mother will take it. You have to convince her that this

is just an act. Tell her that I'm not injured. However, during this period, she has to pretend to be

sad. Just make sure you convince her to stay put and not come over to see me."

Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Jepherson. She knew that she would be able to convince Belle that

Jepherson was just putting on an act. But she wasn't sure whether she could stop her from coming to © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

see him.

"Alright, I know what to do."

Raeleigh briefly glanced over at Xanthus before making her way to the Ink Garden. Xanthus wanted to

follow but as soon as he reached the door, Raeleigh turned around and said, "Xanthus, stay here. I will

be back soon. Belle and Calvin will be suspicious if you came along."

Xanthus did not know what to say. Sometimes, he felt that his sister was so intimidating that he was

lost for words.

He was very confused.

"Be careful."

"We're in the Harvey Group Manor. No one is allowed to enter this place without permission."

Raeleigh turned around and walked towards the Ink Garden.

Raeleigh spotted Calvin as soon as she arrived at the Ink Garden. She immediately told him what

happened, only then did Belle find out that Jepherson was faking his injury.

"So, Jerry is not actually injured?"

"No, he's not. He's just faking it."

Raeleigh had an innocent face and would never lie to anyone. Even if Raeleigh was lying, Belle would

still believe her.

Belle cast a glance at her husband. "Calvin..."

"You'll have to pretend to be upset tomorrow. Do not let anyone see through you."

Calvin sat on one side as he tried to give Raeleigh a signal with his eyes. Raeleigh immediately knew

that he wanted an update on Jepherson's current condition.

Raeleigh said, "Although Jepherson is not seriously injured, he does have some cuts on his body. He

didn't want me to tell you guys because he did not want you two to worry."

"My brother already examined him. At most, he will have a scar."

Calvin smiled and said, "Send someone to get him nutrient-dense foods then ask the chefs to prepare

it for him."

"I'll keep it in mind."

Raeleigh's eyes met with Calvin's. They both had mixed feelings.

Raeleigh admired Calvin's shrewdness while Calvin admired Raeleigh's intelligence.

"Jerry is injured?" Belle asked worriedly when she heard that Jepherson had cuts on his body. She

would be upset if he even lost a strand of hair! She immediately stood up, wanting to visit Jepherson.

"Belle, please do not make any trouble. I trust he knows what he's doing. What happens if people saw

through his act? There had to be a reason why he was ambushed. Have you ever seen a kid fight

without getting injured? The world is like this. This is a common thing. Can you please calm down?"

There was a hint of deterrence in Calvin's tone even though what he said was reasonable. Belle

thought about it and eventually dismissed the idea of visiting Jepherson.

Raeleigh said at that time, "I have to go back now."

"Raeleigh, are you sure that Jerry is alright?"

Raeleigh nodded. "Yes, he's fine. He just has a little cut on his arm. I heard that he accidentally

scratched himself on something when he got off the car."

"My brother disinfected the wound and bandaged it up."

Raeleigh used her fingers to show them how big the cut was. Belle asked, "He scratched himself?"

"Yes."

"He wasn't attacked?"

"He was but his injury wasn't from the attack."

Calvin was speechless at the reason Raeleigh gave.

Belle was a little surprised. She thought that she had misunderstood.

Raeleigh turned around and left the room. Belle looked at her husband, "Raeleigh should have

explained clearly. She scared me to death!"

Calvin looked up at Belle and said, "You can't trust her words completely. Maybe she's lying to us."

"I don't think Raeleigh will lie to us."

Belle trusted Raeleigh. Calvin sat aside and snorted, "Women are the best liars. Don't look down on the

girl. She has experienced so many things. Who knows what she's hiding behind those glasses she's

wearing?"

"That's just your suspicion."

Belle was a little tired. All her anxiety made her tired.

Just as Belle was about to rest, Calvin said, "Raeleigh has a heart of stone, especially after what

happened to Santiago. I'm sure she's capable of doing anything. Don't regard Raeleigh as a rabbit. She

is no longer as innocent as a rabbit."

Belle turned around and looked at her husband. "Then what is she? A wolf?"

Belle was obviously being sarcastic.

Calvin laughed. "Wolves live in packs. She doesn't."

"Then what is she?"

"She's a leopard."

Calvin stared calmly at the door. "If Jepherson fails to keep her, that will be the Harvey family's greatest

loss."

"Stop racking your brains. This is love, not a game." Belle hated people who stink of money. Calvin,

who was always cooking up schemes for the sake of the Harvey family future, often paid the price with

his sons' happiness.

She already knew that Capital City was not suitable for them. She wanted to leave but he did not

agree.

Now their sons were injured. Her mother-in-law and father-in-law had to leave Capital City as well.

Belle was human, how could he not care about her well-being?

Calvin stood up and looked at Belle's back. He hugged Belle from behind. "No matter how bad this

place is, there are still a lot of memories here. Besides, it is impossible to escape unscathed on this

earth."

Belle shivered slightly and looked over her shoulder at her husband.

Calvin smiled. "We've lost so many things, I'm not willing to lose anymore!"
