Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1599

"If you want to cry, cry. No one will laugh at you. Don't hold it in!"

Xanthus had never experienced death and separation. Although he had feelings for Cynthia, it was not to the point that he was reluctant to part with her. So he couldn't understand all that Raeleigh had gone through.

But he knew Santiago held a very special place in Raeleigh's heart.

Not everyone could bear the pain of losing someone they loved.

Raeleigh slowly looked at Xanthus. She didn't say anything even if her heart ached.

She even smiled. "I'm fine."

Just as everyone had their eyes on Raeleigh, Callis stood up, walked out the door, and stood outside.

Feeling incredibly awkward, Leander stood up and said, "He can't stand seeing a woman cry. I'll check on him."

After Leander and Callis left, Raeleigh looked at Jacky, "I'll stay alert and stay away from danger from now on. Thank you!"

Jacky didn't say anything. He understood Raeleigh's pain well; Santiago was also very important to him.

But from a man's standpoint, there were some things that came without any choice. That was it.

"You're welcome."

Xanthus held Raeleigh's hand and rubbed her palm. If it weren't that Raeleigh's health was a priority, Xanthus would've discussed the matter with Jacky in private.

There was a knock on the door. Jacky's men stationed outside said, "Jacky, the kid's parents are here."

Jacky turned around and looked over. There was a hint of calmness in his eyes as if the incident had never happened. He immediately said, "Call them in."

With that, Jacky went and sat next to Raeleigh, then crossed his legs and looked at the door. When the teenager saw Jacky sit down, he knelt on the ground with a thud and said to Jacky, "Jacky, please spare me; I will never do it again. I really didn't know she's yours."

Jacky didn't respond, merely staring at the teenager while two people came in.

Raeleigh heard the sound of the door opening and turned to look. A man and a woman came in; they were both ordinary locals in their forties or fifties.

After entering, the woman ran over to shield her son, but she beat him hard the next moment.

Another man walked to Jacky's side and cried, "Jacky!"

Jacky raised his head to look at the person in front of him and said, "This kid had taken a bribe and nTristany harmed Raeleigh."

Jacky didn't bother with the formalities and got straight to the point. Stumped, the man turned to look at the teenager kneeling on the ground. The woman was also stunned and took two steps back to look at her kneeling son, unable to react.

"Is Jacky right?" The man roared at his son, leading the teenager to plead guilty, "I didn't, Dad, I didn't."

But the man didn't believe his words, disappointed, "You're still unrepentant? Own up now; Jacky won't treat you ill."

As the man spoke, Raeleigh took a glance at Jacky, who was unruffled, as if nothing had ever happened. Then she turned her gaze to the teenager and suddenly came to a realization. No matter where, no integrated system meant no basis, and it would all collapse sooner or later.

"Lock him up first. Get someone to attend to his injuries. Don't worry; he won't die."

Hearing Jacky's words, the man looked as if he had been granted amnesty. He threw the stick in his hand away and looked at Jack., "Jacky, thank you!"

"Go back. Have him stay with me for now, lest he's led astRhys." Jacky smiled as he spoke. Although the couple was reluctant, they still thanked Jacky.

Jacky said, "No need to thank me. I had wanted him to die. I'm sure you're well aware of our rules. Something like this is equivalent to treason. Even if he isn't sentenced to death, he'd still have to suffer for his actions. It won't do any good if he's broken. He's your only child, and he still has to look after you two when you're old."

"I'm only letting this matter slide because of Raeleigh."

The couple looked at Raeleigh and hurried over to thank her. As she hurriedly got up, Jacky said, "Sit down. You guys can call it even now."

Raeleigh looked at Jacky. The couple thanked her before leaving. Then Jacky turned to the teen and said, "You work for me from now on, and I will give you a chance to kill me. However... if you fail, you will be mine for the rest of your life.

"Don't ever think a gangster's life is glorious. The underworld is full of death and conniving. Someone like you will only die before you know it."

The teen slowly opened his eyes and looked at Jacky, "I really didn't do anything."

"It doesn't matter anymore. If you don't give me a name, I'll break your bones and put them back. If you're able to take it all in without a cry of pain, you're this."

Jacky raised his hand and gave him a thumbs up. The teen was stunned for a moment.

Jacky stood up, put his hands into his pockets, and walked out. Raeleigh watched Jacky's lonely retreating figure. It suddenly came to her that the village wasn't as glorious as it looked on the surface. What laid under the carpet was helplessness, as well as sordid!
