Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1784 The Twins in Trouble

Jepherson emerged from Santiago's room the next morning, but she didn't come out with him.

Deanna stared at Santiago's room from downstairs and recalled Raeleigh spent the night there, but

how was it that Jepherson came out from that room too? Had Raeleigh retreated to her room?

"Jepherson, where's Raeleigh?"

Only Deanna Atkinson would be idiotic enough to ask boldly what no one would. Jepherson

inadvertently glanced at her and said, "Raeleigh's still sleeping; she's tired. I've contacted some

neurology experts; they'll come over in a few days. Please help me entertain them. I need to leave for a

meeting."

"You're leaving for a meeting? How do you still have the mood to do that? Aren't you supposed to go to

the Doyle family? Zorion said Capital City has been in a state of chaos lately. A lot of people from far

and wide are gathering here. They're probably here to come at you, so..."

"Come at me?"

No sooner had Jepherson quirked his eyebrows than Deanna clarified, "Okay, okay, not you but us.

They probably came because of what Raeleigh did; she's knee-deep in trouble now."

"She's in trouble? I wouldn't be so sure. We wouldn't have done anything if they didn't start the fire. The

fault's not on us; if they hadn't crossed the line, Raeleigh wouldn't have taken action. I haven't even

given them a piece of my mind." Jepherson had already changed when he came down. As he was

leaving, he asked Hadrian to bring his coat over. Hadrian and Scarlett didn't follow Jepherson this trip

out. Curious, Deanna asked them where Jepherson was heading only to learn it was the government

office, which baffled Deanna, asking Scarlette, "What for?"

"It's said that the government is holding a representative meeting. Crevor was one of them. Now that

he's dead, it's natural for them to be gathered to discuss the matter. Among them are Mr. Jepherson,

Jacky, Zorion, and Colston."

With that, Scarlette walked away. Deanna turned to her parents and asked, "Mom, Dad, why am I not

on the list?"

Speechless at his daughter's question, Rhys retorted, "Did you apply for it?"

"I need to apply for it?" Deanna sat down and asked. Rhys said, "Not entirely. Some were selected

because of their outstanding performances in their respective businesses. You won't get it if I go

deeper. Cedric and Heitor are coming; watch after your kids and don't let them run around as they

please. This is the Harvey Group Manor; it won't do good if they get themselves into trouble."

"But I won't be able to look after them and Raeleigh at the same time. Or... we can ask Scarlette to lend

me a hand."

With that said, Deanna turned to look at Scarlette, who had headed upstairs. Hurriedly, Scarlette Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

rejected, "Oh, no, don't look at me; I'm not good with kids."

And she walked away. Deanna then sullenly went to the gates to wait for her children. Rossie stood up,

wanting to follow her out, but Deanna said, "Don't even bother. I don't like you following me. I can't

believe my dad lectured me yesterday, but you're completely fine."

Rossie, on the other hand, wasn't upset at Deanna's rant, staring at her. She missed the twins as well

after a few days of separation.

Deanna waited for two hours, but the twins still hadn't shown up. Growing anxious, she called the

chauffeur.

Seeing that the call wasn't answered, Rossie's face turned grim and headed outside, Deanna following

right behind. Seeing the streets empty, Rossie immediately called Rhys.

Rhys found it odd as well, but he didn't put too much thought into it. It had been so long, after all, he

was certain no one would try to offend the Atkinson family.

"What's the matter?"

"The twins are missing; they're nowhere near in sight. We also can't get through to the chauffeur."

Taking a breather, Rhys felt a dull pain in his head and rubbed his temple. "Come back first."

"Okay."

With that, Rossie dragged Deanna back, who wouldn't stop asking what was wrong. Worried that

Deanna would run out herself, Rossie had a death grip on her hand as they returned to Fragrance

Garden. As soon as they entered, someone immediately went to Deanna and locked her up in a room.

Knowing something horrible was up, her hands began shaking. Unexpectedly she didn't kick up a fuss

but called Jacky.

Hearing Deanna's words, Jacky comforted, "Don't cry; it'll only make things worse. Show them you're

unaffected, got it?"

Typical Deanna; no matter how unpleasant the situation was, she'd do as she was told, especially if it

was from Jacky.

She immediately wiped her tears away and promised Jacky she'd stop.

Jacky said, "They'll be fine. I'll guarantee that our babies will be fine. Just wait for the call."

"I can't go anywhere, can I?"

"Not necessarily. Go to Raeleigh and listen to her. Do exactly as she says. I can't leave now; the

cameras are on me. Jepherson and your brother are here too, and so are Colston, someone from the

Doyle family, and some other respectable people."

"Deanna, I trust that you are smart. No matter what happens, you should know that only by protecting

yourself can you protect our children."

"Raeleigh must have a way; remember to listen to her."

"But I'm locked up; I can't get out."

"I'll call Raeleigh and ask her to let you out. Also, tell Rossie not to call Zorion. He adores Cedric and

Heitor the most; he'll definitely lose his cool."

Deanna hurriedly agreed and hung up the phone. She immediately wiped her tears away, not letting

everyone worry.

But at this time, Lottie had already fainted from crying.

Rhys seemed to have aged in a heartbeat.

Sitting on the side, Calvin was thinking of a solution. He didn't dare make a move at this time, worried

that worse befell the twins.

On the other hand, Belle sat aside and sobbed.

Hudson had also received the news. Paige was lying in bed, looking like she was about to meet the

grim reaper, yet no one spared her even a visit. However, Hudson didn't bring it up with anyone; he

alone was enough to accompany her.

Although Rossie had crossed the line saying what she did, Hudson understood where her tirade came

from. They had done the despicable when they were younger, and Rossie's approach was justifiable.

"I need to head out for a moment. Get some rest."

Hudson got up and headed for the door, planning to check on the situation in Fragrance Garden. Paige

looked at his retreating back and didn't say anything, nor did she want to. She had had enough of the

people around her and only wanted some peace and quiet; she no longer wanted to care, even if the

sky was falling.

After coming out, Hudson ordered a couple of servants to keep an eye on Paige.

With decades of marriage, Hudson knew Paige like the back of his hand. Everything would still be fine

if she made a fuss, but her silence would only raise red flags.

Walking out of Ink Garden, Hudson still wished Paige would return to the woman she once was, but he

no longer held even a slither of hope.
