Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1258 Bullied

Raeleigh didn't find out until the next morning that Jepherson had returned to the company for work. He called her as soon as he walked into his office.

Raeleigh received the call. When she reached the elevator, someone knocked her down.

Raeleigh was wearing a set of overalls. Everyone knew that only Raeleigh dressed this way. Everyone else dressed differently.

The company didn't have any specific rules when it came to the dress code, especially for designers.

So, as soon as Raeleigh showed up, someone recognized her right away. Someone had deliberately bumped into her when she was in the elevator. When she fell down, the people around her avoided her, and no one went to help her.

Raeleigh knelt on the ground and held her knees for a while.

Lamarre came over and found her on the floor. He bent down to help her up, but she couldn't stand up and her head kept shaking.

Lamarre knew that she didn't look good, so he bent down and took Raeleigh somewhere she could compose herself.

Raeleigh called for Jepherson right away.

He quickly came down from his office with a gloomy look on his face.

When he saw Raeleigh, he called Xanthus immediately. Since her knee was injured, he could imagine what had happened.

For such things, Jepherson needed someone to handle matters, and that person was Xanthus.

Xanthus happened to be nearby and rushed over as soon as he received the call.

Raeleigh was in so much pain that she couldn't open her eyes. She held her knees and was curled up on the couch. Jepherson was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

Who would dare to do this Raeleigh? If she wasn't here anymore, then what was he to do?

Leaning down, Jepherson held her in his arms and gave out an order. "Stuart, wait for Xanthus. When he gets here, take him upstairs immediately. On top of that, dismiss everyone who walked by immediately."

After saying that, he walked towards the private elevator with Raeleigh in his arms. After entering the elevator, he lowered his head and looked at her with distress in his eyes. "Just hold on. Everything will be alright, just bear it for a little while more."

Raeleigh was in so much pain that she was sweating bullets. She leaned into his embrace while she held onto her knees. His chest heaved up and down. He wouldn't let go.

Back in his office, Jepherson picked up the phone and continued to hold onto Raeleigh while he called Stuart. Raeleigh tightened her grip on her knees.

"Forget about the people, call the police. Tell them to get over here and find the person responsible."

Stuart hesitated. "Young Master Harvey, are you sure you want to call the police about this?"

"What do you mean?"

"This happened because of what happened between her and Miss Doyle in the elevator from before. No matter how you spin it, she is a suspect, and we saw what happened then. She treated Miss Doyle very coldly."

"I'd feel the same if I bumped into a stranger. Should I be sentenced as well?"

Jepherson's voice sank in. Stuart explained, "Young Master Harvey, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I meant to say that if this matter escalates, then it won't be good for her. Right now, it will be very troublesome to deal with it. She will be forced out into a terrible storm."

Jepherson knew this, but...

These people had gone too far. If he didn't punish them as a warning to others, then how was she to stay in the company in the future and how was he to protect her? "Call the police."

Soon after the call ended, Stuart remained silent.

Then, Xanthus arrived. When he saw Stuart approaching him, Xanthus asked, "Where is Raeleigh?"

"Doctor Osteen, come with me."

Stuart turned around and walked towards the private elevator. He entered the elevator and escorted Xanthus directly to Jepherson's office on the top floor.

Stuart knocked on the door, and Jepherson called them in. He pushed the door open and Xanthus walked in quickly. Seeing Raeleigh in tears, he walked over to Raeleigh and he then bent down to inspect her knees.

Xanthus didn't ask any questions but he asked Jepherson to let her go.

Jepherson placed her on the couch. Xanthus glanced at her and said, "Hold her hands down and make sure she doesn't move."

Xanthus knelt down and took out the Swiss army knife he brought with him. He cut off a part of Raeleigh's trousers to get to her knees. He tore off the cloth and touched her knee, which made her cry out pain. "Raeleigh..."

"Yes!"

Raeleigh's eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't stand the pain.

"Are you familiar with that old play from high school, Romeo & Juliet?"

Raeleigh reacted slowly and shook her head. "Then, what did you study in school?"

Raeleigh shook her head, as she had forgotten everything.

Xanthus touched her body and made a cracking sound. Raeleigh passed out before she could scream. Then, he stood up and pinched her. She gradually woke up.

She opened her eyes and lay down safely. After a while, she got up and hugged Xanthus.

"I want to go home."

Xanthus patted Raeleigh on her arm and said, "Let's go home together."

He looked up at Jepherson and said, "I don't want to know what happened to her. I'll be going now."

"Take good care of her." Jepherson accompanied Raeleigh all the way to the entrance. He personally sent her to their car. He looked back at Stuart and said, "Go and see if you can be of any help." "Yes, sir."

Stuart hurried back to the car. Raeleigh sat inside without saying a word. Xanthus got in the car, started it, and drove away.

When they arrived home, Stuart got out of the car with them. Xanthus was worried about leaving Raeleigh alone at home, but there was nothing for him to do at home.

Putting her down, Xanthus looked at Stuart and said, "I'm worried about leaving Raeleigh home alone. You can go and buy some ingredients. I will prepare some food for you."

Xanthus gave Stuart a shopping list, who read it and then left to do some shopping. Raeleigh lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

Xanthus was in a daze when he walked over. He knocked on her door. Raeleigh came to her senses and sat up.

"You don't have to be so reserved in front of me. I did say you don't need to mind me." Xanthus walked into the room and he sat down. He leaned against a nearby wall. "I want to change my clothes. Can you disappear for a bit?"

She blinked her eyes and said this calmly, which rendered Xanthus speechless.

"If you ask me that question, then this won't be fun." Xanthus laughed.

Raeleigh also had a smile on her face, and she found that she can talk about anything with her brother. She sometimes imagined that her brother then, who had caught up to her, may even be more dependable than when he first appeared.

Raeleigh would never appreciate such a person. Her world was free from such people and was beautiful.

That world wasn't real. It was a fairy tale world built by her parents and brothers.

Raeleigh wouldn't have been like this if she couldn't tell the truth from the fake reality others made her see.

After laughing for a while, Xanthus touched her hair. Raeleigh looked at Xanthus and said, "What happened?"

Raeleigh was silent for a while and she then told Xanthus the whole story. Xanthus knew that Stella was exactly as he imagined her to be.

He got up and poured a glass of water for her. Raeleigh drank the water and Xanthus asked her to get out of bed.

Raeleigh got out of bed and walked around. Xanthus went into the bathroom and prepared the shower for her. He wiped his hands and told Raeleigh, "You'll see the thermometer once you go in. You should keep it within the range I've set for now. It may be a little hot in the beginning. It will be ready in a little while more. Go on."

Raeleigh looked at the bathroom, took a fresh set of clothes and went straight into the bathroom.

Raeleigh went in and Xanthus left.
