Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1648

Raeleigh put the lanyard aside. "Humans are blind and cannot stand any scrutiny; we're no different."

Jepherson said, "I'm hungry."

"Let's go and eat then."

"Eat here. I don't want to go out."

Jepherson went to the door and told Stuart to bring some food over. After lunch, they headed to the company.

When Raeleigh went into Jepherson's office, she saw Lamarre's sketch on his table. She sat down and stared at it, spacing out.

"Why is there only half of it?"

"It's his assignment for you; he wants to give you a hand after his passing."

Jepherson had thought of developing Lamarre's sketch but decided otherwise after looking at it. Lamarre left it for Raeleigh; it wasn't his to use, choosing to respect Lamarre's decision.

Although Lamarre had resigned, the unilateral severance was not feasible.

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson for a while and fixed her eyes on his face again. "What would you say if I expressed my interest in collaborating with you?"

Hearing that, Jepherson sat aside with a leg across and pondered, "I'm sure you remember Lamarre was our designer. Even if he had already resigned, it wouldn't enter into force without my signature."

"Santiago's agreed to it."

Raeleigh stared at Jepherson. She knew he wouldn't say yes so easily.

Jepherson chuckled under his breath. "No one knows if he did. Even if you have his signature, it is a thing of the past. What's more, this can be overturned even with my signature, unless..."

Raeleigh did not wait for him to finish speaking.

"Unless what?"

Jepherson glanced at Raeleigh's wrist. "Unless it's my official seal."

Raeleigh raised her hand and looked at the bracelet on her wrist, then back at Jepherson, "You love playing mind games, don't you. In this case, even if you are kidnapped, nobody would get anything substantial because they still need your seal. And so far, I believe that most people, even those you trust, never even had the chance to see your seal."

Jepherson did not answer. Raeleigh looked at the bracelet. "Sadly, I could never unlock it. If I can, I believe I will have you give away all your assets."

"But you won't do that."

Jepherson said as he stood up, pouring her a glass of water and placing it before her. Raeleigh was indeed a little thirsty.

After drinking, she went back to the sketch. If they really did come up with a car using it, how should they divide the profit?

"What do you want?" Jepherson asked, and Raeleigh thought for a moment. "I want it all, but you probably won't give it to me. You're insisting Lamarre hasn't terminated his contract with you."

"He really hadn't."

Raeleigh didn't know what else to say.

She gave in to the matter in the end.

"Let's move on then."

Raeleigh went straight to the following topic. Jepherson asked, leaning against his chair, "I reckon you want to know if the car will belong to your company or mine."

Jepherson said unconcernedly, rendering Raeleigh at a loss for words.

After a short silence, Jepherson said, "I won't hurt Cynthia, but I won't let her go either. This is not a matter up for debate."

Raeleigh sat still in front of the sketch until Jepherson picked up a pen and drew at a corner. "You can leave; I won't stop you, but... you're the one who came looking for me this time. You must've known I've been looking for you for the past three years, but you never appeared."

"Everyone was watching me running around uneasily, but you never pitied me."

"If you didn't show up this time, I wouldn't hurt Cynthia, but now that you're here, I won't let you leave so easily."

Raeleigh drifted her gaze to Jepherson. "But I'm married. Are you going to break it up? What's the point of doing so?"

"If we were to get things straight, it was him who broke us up first, not me."

Jepherson left his seat and walked toward the window. Raeleigh's gaze followed him, watching as he stood rooted to the spot, looking out.

Raeleigh went over to him, standing right behind, saying, "Maybe you are right, but I've already left you."

"You didn't!"

Jepherson suddenly turned around and shouted at Raeleigh, startling her. She stared at him, suddenly at a loss for words. The next moment, Jepherson pulled Raeleigh into his arms.

"Even if you are married, no one can stop me from wanting you. If he has it in him, have him come. Since he's dead, he should stay dead."

Jepherson held Raeleigh tightly. Raeleigh raised her hand slowly to hug him, staring at the gloomy world outside the window.

"You're pushing it!"
