Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1471

Seeing that she wouldn't put it down, Jepherson took the magazine from her, chucked it into the trash can, and shot Raeleigh a stern look. He sat down on the chair and said, "What happened?"

As Santiago retold the story, Jepherson's face turned even grimmer. He couldn't believe such a thing could happen right under his nose.

Jepherson grabbed his phone and called Colston; he thought it had something to do with the Cole Family.

"Mr. Harvey." Colston had also heard about it and had only just returned after verifying the whole incident.

"Have you read the news?" Jepherson went straight to the point.

Colston wasn't dumb; he naturally understood Jepherson's call was to accuse him.

"I just heard; I'm also investigating it. Please give me some time, Mr. Harvey. I will give you an explanation."

"I don't need an explanation but an answer. I don't want this to have anything to do with the Cole family. After all, you've promised me."

"If you cause another dispute, we'll have to take it to court."

"Rest assured, Mr. Harvey. I understand how important this matter is; let's keep it at a peaceful one."

"Okay, I'll give you two days. If you can't give me an answer by then, I'll do it myself."

"That will be enough."

Jepherson hung up the phone at that.

He turned to Jacky, "Tell your men not to take any action for the time being; they will interrogate outsiders. Tell them to watch their backs, don't get themselves in trouble."

Jacky thought for a moment, then called his people and told them to lay low for a while.

Jepherson called Zorion and told him what had happened.

Zorion was out of town that day, but he rushed back that day.

He was already on the highway and was rushing back to Capital City at full speed.

"Get someone to ask for an explanation from the higher-ups, disassociate ourselves first," Jepherson instructed. Zorion asked, "You want to dig into this?"

"That depends on Colston's ability and sincerity. If he can find the person behind, things would be easy to settle; if not, we'll have to make a big fuss."

Zorion agreed and hung up, then called his subordinate to handle it.

"Thank you." Jepherson put down the phone and looked at Jacky. Jacky smiled. "It's my job; no need to thank me."

"I'll treat you guys to a meal later." Jepherson had a purpose, but Jacky was embarrassed to say no. Santiago was his younger brother, so he would naturally agree to it.

Although Xanthus didn't want to, the four of them were basically tied together; they needed each other, so he didn't say anything.

Raeleigh grew more calm and indifferent. Not only did she not refuse, she even grabbed another magazine and read it quietly, all engrossed.

Just looking at her indifference, Jepherson had a false sense that he had screwed up.

Sure enough, Raeleigh refused to eat anything they ordered.

Jepherson sat next to Raeleigh again. Santiago sat next to her at first but changed seats with his brother after a glance from him.

"Please."

Xanthus expressed his gratitude, but Jepherson said, "She's my wife; it's what I should do."

With that, he went in while Xanthus waited outside.

As Xanthus sat waiting, Zorion arrived with his men, and he stood up at that.

Zorion glanced at the emergency room before turning to him. "She has all the luck in the world; I'm sure she'll be alright."

"I hope so," Xanthus said, then turned his gaze to the emergency room. Zorion said, "I'll stay with you."

"Sorry to trouble you."

Xanthus sat down again; it was all he could do, sit and wait.

Raeleigh and Jepherson's procedure ended an hour later, and they came out of the emergency room.

Seeing so, Xanthus and Zorion got up and went to the doctor.

"How did it go?" Zorion asked. The doctor took off his mask, relieved. "The operation was successful; she's fine now. But I have to remind you, Mr. Jepherson is in no condition to do another blood transfusion. He has already donated his blood to someone else before, so he's at his limit now. It may affect his hematopoietic and immune system."

"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Zorion asked coldly. If he was in no shape, they could've gotten Santiago to do the transfusion.

The doctor shook his head slightly. "We reminded Mr. Jepherson, but he ordered us to operate immediately; we dared not disobey him."
