Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1754

Raeleigh stared at him as she laid in bed, "You should go too. I can take care of myself now."

"Are you worried about being misunderstood?"

Raeleigh gave him a brief look, "Even if you weren't seen here, what can be construed will still be misunderstood."

"Jepherson is that distrustful of you?" When Crevor spoke, he had already walked up to Raeleigh's front. She glanced up at him with no immediate reply, though her lips curled up into a smile.

"Raeleigh, what are you smiling at?" Crevor stood there as his gaze darkened with a profound look in his eyes.

"It's nothing. I just felt like smiling, so I smiled."

"You are the most interesting girl I have ever met." Crevor stated.

"Just because something is rarely seen, they're always labelled as special. It's just like a species that's born from out of nowhere. There's ordinary grass that grows on a cliff. The seed of that grass couldn't have flown onto the cliff which made it an uncommon possibility. However, a gust of wind blew that seed to the top and through wind and rain it managed to painstakingly grow in such an environment.

After that, someone discovered this grass and it became a so-called rarity.

Thus, it has obtained that special appeal."

"When you say it like that, it makes it difficult for people to respond, but I like it."

"There are many people who like me. You're just being one out of who knows how many."

Raeleigh gazed out the window and then looked at Crevor. "Thank you for bringing me out from that station, but I am not grateful towards you. Your driver didn't survive and I think you're responsible for it. You did this on purpose."

"You may be the only one who can speak so frankly, but what if I told you that it wasn't me, would you believe it?"

Raeleigh just stared silently at Crevor for a while before she said, "No, I won't."

"Since you won't believe me, then I won't bother explaining."

Crevor sat by Raeleigh's bedside, their gaze fixed on each other until Raeleigh turned her face away first.

...

Crevor stayed by Raeleigh's side, and the people outside no longer came in, as if someone had given the heads up to the top brass.

The next day, Raeleigh had just woken up in the morning when she heard Stuart's voice from outside. "We are the lawyers of this patient that's now inside this room. This is our documentation. We have contacted your higher-ups and they have agreed to cooperate."

Raeleigh didn't know that Stuart could speak their language too.

After the officer confirmed their credentials, Stuart opened the door to her ward followed by Jepherson's appearance at the doorway.

The two lawyers and one bodyguard that were inside stood up from their seats when they saw him, a simultaneous call for Mr. Harvey echoed through the room.

"You've worked hard. You may leave." Jepherson ordered.

The lawyers and bodyguard heeded his instruction and left through the door.

Crevor sat with his back towards Jepherson. It was impossible for him to be unaware of his arrival but he still didn't get up even after the lawyers and bodyguard headed outside.

Raeleigh studied the people that had just entered. Their presence here was the real purpose.

She got attacked while staying abroad, all to lure Jepherson out and make him capitulate. Even if they couldn't do much of anything towards him, it would be a beautiful beginning for the Doyle family.

Stuart retreated and shut the door behind him once Jepherson had entered the ward.

Jepherson strode forward and paused to caress Raeleigh's pale face. No words were spoken between them. Jepherson then looked at Crevor and called out, "Mr. Doyle."

Raeleigh was not surprised. Crevor smiled. "You are here?"

Jepherson smiled back and said, "Thank you for your help this time, Mr. Doyle."

"You're welcome. I did it for Raeleigh though, not for you."

Crevor made no movement as he said this, his tone utterly indifferent.

Jepherson continued regardless, "But there is one more thing. I hope that you can be the bigger man, and let Raeleigh off."

Crevor looked contemplative. "How so?"

"The Doyle family and the Harvey family have a cooperative project in the south. Business has been in deliberation for ten years. Since you have helped me this time, I will transfer all the shares in the south to you."

"You're talking about the diamond mines?" Crevor looked as if he had thought of something and peered at Jepherson. Jepherson reaffirmed, "The diamond mines."

Was it because of her body that he had to capitulate to their demands?

"Then what if I said to give me the diamond mine, let me fight the lawsuit and that my body will be fine?"

Jepherson fell silent. Without the diamond mines, the Harvey family would lose half of its territory in the city. This was already the only method he could think of that was both fast and impactful.

What idea had she come up with?

Raeleigh's eyes was washed with determination. At that look, Jepherson sighed, "I'll leave this to you."

Raeleigh turned her attention to Crevor. "The diamond mine is mine now, your plans are now up in flames. Let us discuss the next item on the agenda."

"I'm all ears." Crevor grinned as if he was looking forward to it.

Jepherson lowered his eyes but said nothing.

His hands played with her hair as he stroked the soft strands on her head.

It was as if Jepherson had removed himself from this matter.

Raeleigh started, "I was the one who knocked someone down, but..."

"But what?"

"But you must drop the lawsuit. I can compensate the driver's family for all their losses. If you don't agree, I will implement the next step."

"And that would be?"

"I can't say for now."

Crevor did not speak. He sat there for some time before he stood up. "Let's compete then."

He got up and was gone like the wind. Once he left, Jepherson's expression turned completely cold.

Stuart immediately walked in together with the lawyers and the rest of their people.

At this time, Raeleigh also sat up from the bed.
