Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1027

"Did Santiago see the message?" Zorion asked Scarlette as he took the phone.

"Yes, he did," she said. "He told us not to worry." Zorion looked at Raeleigh. As he put Scarlette's phone in his pocket, he took his phone and made a call. He then walked out of the mall. Scarlette grabbed Raeleigh by the arm and trailed after Zorion.

It was a one-minute phone conversation. In less than three minutes, they walked out of the mall. More than ten cars in black could be seen parking outside. Because of the special mark on the cars' windshield, they knew that those cars belonged to the Atkinson family. The traffic police would refrain from interfering even if they caused a traffic congestion.

They were respectable members of the society. The police had always held them in high regard.

The police should not be the only entity tasked with ensuring that public security was upheld. At times, concerted effort from multiple parties was required.

Zorion walked towards one of those cars. He then turned around to look at Raeleigh and Scarlette. Raeleigh got into the car right away. Scarlette followed suit.

As soon as Zorion got into the car, someone closed the door. The driver then drove off and headed towards the housing estate where Deanna was locked up. The rest of the drivers tagged along.

Raeleigh was a little uneasy as she sat in the car. Not only did she worry about Deanna, she worried about Santiago too. After all, he was alone...

Scarlette was agitated too, since Hadrian was right in front of her.

In contrast, Zorion was as cool as a cucumber. It had been a smooth ride thus far. Raeleigh looked at Zorion with a frown.

Had she been going through a spate of bad luck? She seemed to be in distress whenever she met Zorion.

……

Zorion remained silent. Then, he glanced at Raeleigh and said wih a smile, "It's gonna be alright."

Raeleigh pursed her lips as she looked out of the window. "Hopefully..."

...

Santiago arrived at the desNorahtion. He got out of the car and directed his gaze upwards as he closed the car's door.

Night fell. The immediate vicinity was enveloped in a yellow hue, so much so that it looked like a painting of a bygone era.

Santiago glanced around. At that moment, he saw Hadrian. "Hey, Santiago," Hadrian greeted.

"Where's the exact location?" Santiago asked. His expression was deadpan while his fierce gaze was piercing.

"That cottage, over there," Hadrian said. "I don't think it's a kidnapping though. They're just trying to teach Zorion a lesson. It seemed to me that they want to touch Deanna indecently."

Santiago looked at Hadrian and said, "Wait here."

Hadrian grabbed Santiago by the arm and said, "About seven or eight people are in there."

"All the more I need to get in there," Santiago said as he shoved Hadrian. "I'll come along then," Hadrian said as he trailed after him.

"Just stay here," Santiago instructed. "Keep a lookout for Flynt and see if he's here. Make sure he doesn't stir up the hornet's nest. Zorion will be here in a bit."

Santiago said, "She's the daughter of Rhys Atkinson. Zorion Atkinson is her brother. Don't you think you're in deep sh*t now?"

"Say what? Rhys Atkinson?"

Those men trembled. The one who just stood up grabbed a chair and hurled it at Santiago. Santiago dodged it. He then turned around and kicked him before getting into a fistfight with him. Soon after that, the man passed out. The rest of the onlooking men then encircled Santiago. Unperturbed, Santiago motioned one of the men to come forward. Santiago then kicked him abruptly, catching him off guard.

One of them said in a rough tone, "Come on, you're not playing by the rules."

"Playing by the rules, huh?" Santiago smirked. "You would have been dead if I had played by the rules."

As he spoke, Santiago struck a few men. He did not find it difficult even though he was fighting against a few men alone. One by one, he struck each man effortlessly. After that, he walked towards Deanna and grabbed hold of her arm. Shocked and terrified, she could be seen trembling.

"Such a pain in the neck," Santiago said as he looked at Deanna. As she was sobbing, he took off his jacket and slung it over her shoulder. He then bent over to carry her and walked out of the room. All of a sudden, one man stood up and hit his head with a wooden stick.

Santiago turned around and kicked the man who then fell to the ground. At that moment, his head was bleeding.

Santiago felt a damp feeling in his back. He knew it had been a sharp blow as he was feeling giddy.

He took a deep breath and continued making his way to the entrance of the cottage as he carried Deanna. He then kicked down the door and walked out of the cottage.

Zorion had arrived. When Hadrian saw Santiago walking out of the cottage, he dashed forward. He noticed that his back was covered in blood. "You're injured," he said.

Deanna held Santiago tightly with both arms, as if she wanted to die in his embrace.
