Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1715 Raeleigh Returns

Rhys turned to look at his retreating daughter, filled with mixed emotions. She was slowly acting more

like a grown-up, but he truly wished she could stay a child forever.

She had become wiser. How surprising!

Dinner was ready when Jacky returned. He came in carrying a briefcase containing confidential

documents, which he placed on the console table out in the open. Despite how the Atkinson family

treated him, he had never guarded against them.

"Dad."

He greeted Rhys as soon as he entered, but Rhys never acknowledged the address; he would never

acknowledge it as long as they weren't married, which Rhys would never agree to. He continued

watching the television and only spared Jacky a glance.

The twins looked over at Rhys; they didn't know what was going on, but Jacky didn't care. He went to

hug his sons and kiss them, "Did you two behave today?"

"Yes, Daddy."

"Good, let's take a shower, hmm?"

Jacky put his sons down and headed upstairs, the twins following right behind. Whenever Jacky was

around, they would cling to him unless he told them to accompany their grandfather or someone else.

This was a bond people would be jealous of.

Rhys turned to look at the three; it was a scene beyond the outsider's imagination.

Now that Rhys was alone, he reached for one of the magazines. Crevor was on the cover; thirty, young

and promising, and the current head of the Doyle family.

After a quick scan, Rhys chucked it back on the table.

Coincidentally, Lottie returned to the living room to gather everyone for dinner. Odd that she couldn't

find Jacky, she went to Rhys and asked.

As Rhys said he went to take a shower, Lottie caught a glimpse of the magazine. She picked it up, and

an upsetting look showed on her face seeing Crevor on the cover.

Chucking the magazine back on the table, she harrumphed, "How horrible of the Doyle family. How can

they take advantage of the fact that Jacky had just entered the office and know he can't lay his hands

on them to attack him?

As annoyance rose within Rhys, Zorion and Rossie entered the house. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Lottie treated Rossie even better than Deanna now, even if Rossie wouldn't bring up her marriage with

Zorion.

Rhys had originally wanted Rossie to apologize to Paige for the hotel incident. However, Rossie stood

her ground and refused to apologize when Marrisa was in the wrong.

And Rhys couldn't lose his temper with her as she was only his future daughter-in-law after all.

Lottie sided with Rossie and went to apologize on her behalf, but Paige refused to see her.

So Lottie gave up just like that. "Since you don't want me to apologize, so be it. Save me the trouble."

"Have you two had dinner?"

"Not yet."

"Then wash your hands and sit down with us."

Lottie then took Rossie away, leaving only Zorion. Judging by his father's expression, he knew

something was up.

They headed to Rhys's study and sat across from each other. Rhys threw the magazine to Zorion and

asked, "What's going on?"

Zorion took a look and said, "The Doyle family have already acquired most of the Cole family's

businesses. Crevor isn't an easy person to deal with either. I don't know if this is his doing, but he

doesn't deny it. From the looks of it, his purpose of coming to Capital City is probably to challenge the

Cole family and replace them."

"He's going to take down the Cole family?"

It didn't occur to Rhys that the Doyle family would do that.

Zorion nodded and said, "Jacky used the most brutal way to kill Stella. As far as I know, only a handful

of the Doyle family adored Stella. Madam Geraldine spoils Stella while Crevor is closest to her."

"So you're saying the reason Crevor is stirring up trouble so high-profile at this time is to target Jacky?"

Zorion nodded.

Rhys smirked and said, "He has guts; I'll give him that. But how dare he lay his fingers on just about

anybody?"

Zorion knew very well that even though Jacky did not have their family's support, it didn't mean that

others could bully him as they pleased.

"What has Jepherson been doing lately?" Rhys didn't wish to dirty his hands; he had no objections if a

tripartite system was needed to maintain the peace in Capital City, and he could also try to stay clear

from its tradings.

He has a wide range of businesses, primarily based abroad, while the Capital City was the Harvey

family's empire. He wouldn't expand his business here.

"He hasn't returned, and Stuart is getting overwhelmed." Zorion was also concerned, but he did not

intervene.

They would easily cause unnecessary trouble if they involved themselves in the matter, given their

family's status.

"Go and help Stuart. Shore it up first. Don't let Crevor have the upper hand in the trading. Jacky will

have to take care of the political circle himself."

Rhys got up to head down for dinner.

Zorion asked, "He just joined the political circle and is not fully involved in it yet. Would he be okay?"

Rhys looked over his shoulder at his son. "Jepherson isn't a fool, and neither is Jacky. It's been three

years; he can't be unprepared."

Zorion then followed him to dinner.

Everyone was seated at the table and ready for dinner when Jacky brought the twins down.

While eating, Deanna said, "I want to get married."

Everyone stopped eating and looked at her; even Jacky was somewhat surprised.

As usual, it was a no from Rhys. He took a gander at his daughter and said, "Eat your dinner."

With that, he continued to eat.

Deanna said, "Give me back my household register booklet."

"Eat if you want; leave if you don't." Rhys kept his eyes on his plate and put a few pieces of meat on

the twin's plate. They ate instantly and waited for more.

Rhys gave them more meat and continued eating. Still unwilling to give up, Deanna insisted, but Rhys

had finished his meal and left the table, leaving Deanna with nothing to say.

...

Raeleigh finally returned after a month, and the weather had gotten much colder. The stitches on her

hand had been removed, but she still kept her gloves on lest the weather did some serious damage.

Dressed as Callis, Jepherson stood waiting at the gates as if he knew Raeleigh would return that day.

Exiting the car, Raeleigh walked to Callis, looking at him, and asked, "Are you waiting for me?"

Callis did not answer her as usual and only caressed her face. She wore quite a few layers, looking

snug. He pursed his lips, looking like he wanted to say something. Raeleigh smiled at him. "Are you

worried about me?"

Callis took a glance over his shoulder at Xanthus, who had come out, then bent down to take her

luggage with one hand and her wrist with the other. As they headed into the house, Xanthus stopped

them.

Blocking their way, Xanthus said, "I like you when you don't talk."
