Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1701 Draw A Snake Out of Its Cave

The women baked their apple pies and ate some of it that afternoon. The two men clearly didn't like to

eat it, but they didn't say a word and reluctantly had some.

The rest were left for Deanna, lest she would say there wasn't enough to eat.

After that, all of them headed over to Deanna's. On their way there, Raeleigh asked Rosie, "Is it okay

for you not to go to school?"

"Actually, I'm almost done with my semester. There's nothing else that I need to go there for."

Rossie's results were even better than Deanna's. After Deanna left school, she could secure her victory

with one less strong contender.

Therefore, she wasn't in a hurry to go back. Even if she was, she could not leave Raeleigh alone.

Not to mention that she had caused some trouble.

Both of the women chatted along the way and soon Paige was brought up.

"I really didn't know that there is such an old hag in the Harvey family. She's like a shrew in the

marketplace. How did Jepherson grow up with Paige by his side?"

Rossie couldn't make heads or tails out of it.

Raeleigh explained as she walked, "You don't understand. Once a person has prejudice against

another person, it's difficult to turn them away from it."

"But still, she's gone too far. I've never seen such an uneducated person."

"She's old."

"You mean senile?"

Raeleigh and Rossie went back and forth in their banter over the issue. Eventually, Raeleigh had to

relent and keep quiet.

They walked at a slow pace, hence they reached Deanna's place at almost four in the afternoon.

Deanna had asked someone in advance to wait outside and to tell her immediately when they saw

Raeleigh.

When Deanna came out to see her, she wasn't surprised, but she was pleasantly surprised to see the

food they carried. She ate one on the spot and at the delicious taste, asked Rossie, "Is it all for me?"

"All of them."

Deanna rushed to take the apple pie from their hands and passed it over to Jacky, "We'll give Cedric

and Heitor some later."

Jacky took the food inside and Raeleigh and the others were invited in to eat. Deanna had made eight

dishes and brought out two bottles of red wine.

But no one drank it, as if they don't like to drink.

Throughout their meal, Deanna showed off all her handmade dishes as they ate and listened to her at

the same time. Soon enough, their meal came to an end.

After they ate their fill, all of them took their leave. As she watched Raeleigh's retreating back, with her

arm hooked around the mute's own, Rossie said, "Raeleigh actually just wants to live a peaceful life.

After all, too many things had happened to her and she's so afraid to be together again with whoever

she wants to be with.

Though the mute is not like how you all are, but he won't force her into anything"

"Even so, I always feel that there is something wrong with him."

No matter how Deanna looked at it, he was still a questionable character. Rossie didn't answer and

instead walked towards her residence.

Although Deanna had a good personality, Rossie truly didn't want to hang around her too much. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Raeleigh went to buy something on their way back. When she arrived at the store and found that the

door wasn't closed for the night, Raeleigh bought some socks for the mute.

They then went back down the street around the village to their house and chatted as they walked.

Although it was a one-sided conversation, with Raeleigh doing most of the talking while he listened.

Raeleigh felt it was quite normal and it suited her just fine.

Raeleigh called Xanthus through her phone and told him her current situation. She also added that she

wanted to wait and would go back when there was a chance.

Her ID and passport were being prepared by Jacky. After a period of time, even if Jepherson didn't give

her back these two documents, she could still go back.

After they returned to the fenced house, Raeleigh went to rest whereas the mute watched some

television programs downstairs. At around 10 o'clock, he knocked on her door and brought Raeleigh a

glass of water. Then they both slept till dawn.

Soon after daybreak, Deanna came to find Raeleigh again.

As soon as they met, Deanna turned on the television and showed it to Raeleigh. She asked in

confusion, "What are you doing?"

"Look at the news, I'm sure you haven't seen it yet."

Raeleigh and the mute turned their eyes to the television. A news report was being broadcast that the

police had caught some people who had shipped drugs at the border. Therefore, the border line had

been requisitioned and a lot of relevant personnel had been apprehended. At present, many people

had already been replaced to fortify the area.

Raeleigh slowly sat down and watched the news. "Why is this being shown on TV? Even if it's news, it

can't have caused such a huge sensation as well. When you judge it on a long term basis, the

government has no reason to cause panic for the public."

The mute stood to one side with a faint frown on his face.

"Is that so?" Deanna then turned to ask Jacky, "Jack, is this your doing?"

"Although I'm already the mayor, I haven't officially taken over yet. Hence, I don't have the authority to

do so."

"Oh." Deanna continued watching the television and mused, "I don't know, but this matter has shocked

the entire Capital City."

"It's Jepherson." Raeleigh was very sure about it.

"How did you know?"

Deanna was filled with shock. "You contacted Jepherson?"

Raeleigh shook her head. "Jepherson wanted to cause panic in the city, and then declare that Flynt

was the drug dealer. In a city this big, even if there is no drug trafficking, the erotica market is sure to

have a large clientele.

Capital City is too prosperous. Various teachings and culture can be found here in the city. It's

impossible for there not to be drugs.

But it's not obviously displayed. Everyone pretends to turn a blind eye to it. You have money and I have

the goods, I can even create a thriving scene. There's nothing bad about it.

The problem is that most ordinary civilians have never touched drugs and they don't know that drugs

are located at the border.

In most people's minds, drugs are a remote matter and they have nothing to worry about.

Even those who often used it, felt that it isn't a problem as it happens from time to time.

But if it is found that someone has been guarding a place where drugs are being planted, even if you

don't eat or use it, the chemical compounds in the drugs will spread through the air.

This would then make them fear that the air quality might be contaminated.

Research has proven that whether it be men or women, people who often planted drugs and are in

frequent contact with them will have deformed offsprings.

And nothing is more terrifying than affecting the next generation.

In this way, the people here will create panic. Once that happens, the higher-ups will retaliate

aggressively and they will not hesitate to investigate the drug traffickers.

Now, if someone knows that these drugs were planted by Flynt, then even if he has thousands of

mouths, he won't be able to explain this away and will be cornered into a dead end."

"That's not right. With such a major movement, even if it's as you said, won't Flynt have an inkling

already as to what is going on?"

Raeleigh looked at Deanna's curious face and glanced at Jacky. "In fact, this is what Jepherson is

capable of. He now wants to make Flynt panic. The moment he does, he will be at a loss on what's the

next step to take.

In fact, as long as he doesn't make a move, he won't get into trouble. If he keeps himself scarce with

his head in the sand, no one will be able to get one over him. The police have no evidence, and he will

be safe. It's just that Flynt may act shrewd and capable, he is actually a timid and overcautious person.

Once this incident stirs up panic in the Capital City, he will be unable to restrain himself.

This is Jepherson's trick to draw the snake out of its cave. However this snake is unaware of it all and

what follows is the moment when they will truly strike.

By the time he realizes it, I'm afraid it will already be too late."

"Raeleigh..."

Deanna was filled with admiration. "You're amazing!"

"It's not that amazing, I'm just stating things as it is."

Jacky remarked, "If you and Jepherson were to fight each other as enemies, he will surely die."

The mute looked at Jacky as well as Deanna who hurriedly inquired, "Why? I think Jepherson is pretty

powerful himself!"

"Even heroes fall before beauties. Jepherson won't be able to get past Raeleigh."

Deanna blinked in comprehension. "That's true."

Raeleigh interjected at this point, "Actually, it's not like that. The one who won't get past is me, not him

."
