Chapter 1667 Stalkers
Chapter 1667 Stalkers
As soon as Jepherson hung up the phone, Paige dashed over and grabbed him by his collar, beating
him hard. "What did you just say? Repeat your words if you have the guts to do so."
Jepherson ignored her as his eyes fell on Reese. "Tomorrow onwards, you don't have to
come anymore."
"Mr. Harvey, Madam Paige needs someone to look after her all the time," Reese said. By this time,
Raeleigh had already walked into the bathroom. She didn't want to get involved in matters between
Jepherson and Paige.
After walking into the bathroom, she filled up the tub and locked the door before getting into the tub. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Raeleigh leaned back against the tub. She wouldn't step out of the bathroom even if the sky were to
collapse on her.
Yet, it turned out...
Jepherson intended to send Paige to a mental hospital. Reese quickly called Hudson, who rushed over
to the hotel immediately and finally made it late at night.
By the time Hudson arrived, the staff from the mental hospital had also arrived. After bumping into each
other at the hotel entrance, the staff hastily retreated after Hudson went on a tirade.
When Hudson arrived at the hotel room, he kicked the door down, giving everyone a fright.
In contrast with his age, Hudson was not doddery at all.
He entered the room to find Paige shouting at Jepherson, who was standing by the bed. When
Jepherson saw Hudson, he said, "Are you here to catch me redhanded as well?"
Hudson was a little mystified. He knew that something had to be afoot, otherwise, things wouldn't have
gotten so out of control.
"Stop this ruckus right now. Get out of here, all of you!"
Hudson was the patriarch of the Harvey family, after all. The moment he gave the order, everyone left
and Paige walked over to him and started crying like he was her only hope.
Hudson was well aware that his wife must be the one creating trouble, but he would not take his
grandson's side.
"Looks like you're all grown up and even able to bully your own grandmother."
Hudson did not say anything else. With that, he grabbed Paige and turned to leave. However, Paige
refused to, saying, "That vixen's still in there."
Only then did Hudson realise that Raeleigh had returned.
He stopped and turned to look at Jepherson, whose expression was cold. "I'll get to the bottom of this,
but I won't let you off the hook. I won't allow you to bully your grandmother as long as I'm still alive."
With that, Hudson left and forcefully took Paige with him. Regardless of her unwillingness, she couldn't
resist him and was forced to leave.
On the other hand, Raeleigh soaked in the tub for more than an hour and became extremely pruned.
She only came out when Jepherson went to get her.
...
Outside the hotel.
Hudson was having mixed feelings. Over the past few years, Paige had become more and more
temperamental and was acting increasingly erratically.
Ever since Calvin and Belle had left with Santiago, she'd grown increasingly unreasonable. Hudson
knew that she felt disinclined to accept it, but she had no option but to compromise when it came to
kinship. It was not a matter that could be solved with mere persistence.
Paige stopped in her tracks and broke free of Hudson's grip. She asked, "Do you think that I'm being
unreasonable and that I've grown senile?"
Her face was white with rage. Hudson took his coat off and draped it around her shoulders, not wanting
her to catch a cold.
He answered, "It's true that I do feel that you're being unreasonable sometimes."
Hudson cast a glance at Reese, who was standing next to them. At her age, she wasn't able to
comprehend their relationship, which was why she was looking at them rather oddly.
Hudson might be getting on in his years, but he was still charming.
Reese had never seen Calvin. When she came to the Harvey family, Calvin and Belle weren't around
anymore.
The same went for Santiago.
Reese had only met Hudson and Jepherson. It was obvious to her that both of them were loyal to a
fault and loved their partners deeply.
It was excusable for Jepherson as it was normal for him to be besotted at his age, but what about
Hudson?
Every time she thought about this, Reese would give Hudson an odd look or two.
Hudson said to her, "You can head back for now and come over tomorrow."
"Alright."
Reese turned around and left.
Only then did Hudson turn to face Paige, who was trembling with rage. He took her hand and rubbed
his hands against hers to warm it up.
Reese watched them after getting into the car, which was parked a distance away.
She frowned, perplexed.
Why was Hudson still treating Paige so well even though she was like a raving lunatic? Wasn't it odd?
Reese was interested to see what would happen next, so she did not leave.
Paige asked Hudson, "Even you think that of me? Why?"
"You've never been a considerate person, Paige," he suddenly answered. Paige stiffened, immediately
wanting to pull away from him. Before she could, however, Hudson had already grabbed her hand.
She stared at him in anguish.
He sighed lightly and looked at her. "There was a time when you were considerate for me, though."
Hearing his words, Paige stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say.
Was she the one at fault?
Hudson wiped away the tears that started to flow from Paige's eyes and said, "Your extreme methods
caught me by surprise, but I don't detest you, nor do I blame you."
"You've sacrificed a lot for this family, for your husband and child. In fact, in your old age, you should be
surrounded by family, but I'm the only one by your side. They've all left and gone on to love someone
else."
"That's why you became extreme."
"That said, Paige, we don't love and raise them so that they'll surround us. It's so that they'll be happy."
"Everyone has their own journey, just like how I chose you over my mother."
"You can still lead a happy and fulfilling life without them, Paige. Don't resent them. You'll always have
me."
"For as long as I live, I'll be by your side."
Paige stared at Hudson dazedly, her tears still flowing. Hudson pulled her into his arms and pat her on
the back.
He said softly, "It's only normal for people to become somewhat irrational when they get older. It's just
that they've forgotten how we used to treat them when they were younger and up to all sorts of hijinks."
Those words were all it took for Paige to snap as she burst into tears.
Hudson pulled her into the car and headed home.
At the same time, Reese got ready to leave. However, she saw two black cars that didn't belong to the
Harvey family trail after Hudson and Paige.
She found it extremely odd. Why were there still cars around here at this hour?
Why were they stalking Hudson's car?
Reese immediately dialed Jepherson's number.
Raeleigh had just come out of the bathroom and dried herself. She'd gotten dressed and was ready to
hit the sack.
Jepherson wasn't in the best mood and was currently taking a shower. It was Raeleigh who picked up
the call.
When she saw that Reese was the one calling, she immediately thought of the woman who was with
Paige.
Answering the call, she went straight to the point. "He's in the bathroom. What's the matter?"
"There are two black cars that don't belong to the Harvey family following Old Master Harvey and
Madam Paige's car. Please tell Mr. Harvey about this."
Reese was worried, so she planned on going after them, but she wasn't sure whether she'd get caught
and was also feeling hesitant.
Raeleigh frowned. "Where were they going?"
"Harvey Group Manor, probably."
