Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1714 Deanna's Thoughts

Hudson opened his eyes and looked at his wife, who was looking pale, staring into space. He then got

up and headed inside, saying, "From now on, we'll live separately. The rooms are all ready. Since you

prefer space, you can have the bigger room while I take the smaller one on the side."

"Reese will take care of you. Since I no longer have a place in your heart and the warmth is gone, let's

go our separate ways."

Hudson returned to his room and sorted his belongings out, not waiting for Paige to follow him.

Standing outside, Paige chuckled foolishly as she continued to space out. "You think you can scare me

like this? You underestimate me, Hudson. I won't let Raeleigh off that easily."

Looking at Paige, who was too deep in her head, from his room, his heart still softened as he

reminisced about their younger years.

But they would never leave this place if leaving would only bring others harm.

...

With Hudson's departure, the whole of Harvey Group Manor had become a ghost town. Stuart had no

choice but to move into the manor at Capital City with Lucy.

...

The Cole family became the target of public attention overnight, and Capital City landed itself in chaos

for a while. All the media in Capital City were talking about the Cole family. The higher-ups wanted to

suppress the matter, but it only grew more chaotic despite their efforts.

Some even paraded the streets and accused the government of being incompetent. They knew the

Cole family was cultivating opium poppy on the border, yet they did nothing to stop them. The Cole

family did the despicable despite their long-lived influence.

Flynt was even more daring and escaped from prison.

The series of catastrophes pushed the already crumbling Cole family into the teeth of the storm.

Everyone in the family was in a state of crisis, and no one dared to spout nonsense. Whoever was

taken into questioning would answer truthfully; no one covered up for the Cole family.

Flynt ran roughshod over the family in the last three years, especially his half-siblings.

Everyone was for themselves at this point, so they put all the blame on Flynt.

And to play safe, no one from the Cole family went to prison to collect Flynt's body.

The civil strife in the city went on for a month until Jacky took over and finally returned to peace.

On Jacky's first day in the office, he published a piece of news that had to do with a policy he issued.

And there were only two words on it, harmony! Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

After the release of the policy, it was as if Capital City was frozen in ice; everything was swept under

the carpet, including the Cole family's catastrophe.

The media gave a high evaluation of Jacky's decision.

Jacky had no intention of wiping the Cole family out even after their series of catastrophes had died

down. The Cole family was still who they were, just that their internal strife had begun. As there were

too many descendants, everyone wanted more than their share of the inheritance. Under these

circumstances, the family fell into utter chaos.

Meanwhile, the Doyle family actively bought over the Cole family's businesses.

Crevor was the current head of the Doyle family, and he made a huge splash in the limelight just as

Jacky took over the office. He had climbed the ranks of the major media and appeared boastfully in

every corner of the city.

...

Atkinson family.

"Jacky will come over for dinner later. Ask the servants to prepare more dishes."

Lottie was going to make some of Jacky's favorites, but she couldn't get anything out of him, nor could

she tell.

Lottie only pretended she didn't like Jacky. She didn't mistreat Jacky, but she couldn't treat him too well

either.

Therefore, she would not take the initiative to ask what Jacky liked to eat but observed. The problem

was that he seemed to appreciate whatever food he was given; there was nothing he was unwilling to

eat, and whatever they made, he would finish it with a satisfied smile.

There was no one else at home at this time, and Lottie would only say so when there was only her and

her husband.

As for Rhys, he knew very well whether Jacky was good or not.

Although he never said it, he had to admit his daughter was blessed.

"Buy some fish and steak. Didn't he finish it all last time?"

Rhys said while watching TV. The twins sat next to him, accompanying him to watch the news.

They were very obedient, more than when their mother was their age. This meant that they did not get

her personality but their father's.

Hearing that they were preparing steak, Heitor said, "I want abalone too."

"Then we'll buy some abalone too." Rhys had all money they could spend, giving the children whatever

they felt like eating. What could he say? He could afford to do so.

Lottie said, "I'll have them do the shopping then."

Just as Lottie was about to walk away, Deanna returned home, carrying several magazines in her

hands, placing them on the table for her father to see.

"Dad, you see this guy? He's Crevor of the Doyle family."

Deanna had intended to stay in Waverly Village that night, but she came across a magazine saying he

would be the Capital City's next mayor.

Rhys took a gander but didn't pick them up.

"So?"

"Jacky just became the mayor. How can they write this so carelessly?" Deanna removed her coat and

put them aside before she squatted down to hold her two sons, kissed them, and sat aside.

Rhys said, "That's someone else's business. What does it have to do with you? How would I know?"

"You're not behind this?" Deanna asked Rhys, who found it ridiculous, and said, "Have you been

watching too many dramas? Why do you always come back to question me for whatever happens? Do

you really think I wish you ill?"

Hearing that, Deanna said, "That's strange. Jacky had only just sat in the office; who would do all this

and drag him down so soon?"

In an awkward position, Rhys said, "You're sticking your finger in too many pies; it has nothing to do

with you. Why do you care about other people's business?"

"How is this not important? Jepherson's not in town, and Stuart doesn't dare to call the big shots while

you and Zorion will only get in the way. Jacky's all by himself, managing Capital City while taking care

of Waverly Village. There would definitely be times he's distracted, and if someone takes this

opportunity to swoop in, Jacky will be in trouble. How can I not put my finger into this pie?"

Rhys had nothing to say; her words made sense. However, he had never seen his precious daughter

spend all these thoughts on him or her sons.

How realistic of his daughter. Now that she had a boyfriend, she had already thrown family aside.

"Grandpa, is Dad going to be hurt?" Cedric asked Rhys, who then said, "Don't listen to your Mom.

She's just suspecting."

Heitor said, "Why?"

Good question. Why? Wasn't it that the plan was beginning to surface.

With that, Rhys said, "Alright, I'll tell your brother later. Tell Jacky to watch his six."

"Okay."

Deanna stood up, took her clothes and her bag, and went upstairs.
