Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1180

Arriving at the villa, Raeleigh sat downstairs. It was not very late. They went to the police station and came back very soon. Actually, it didn't take much time.

She was waiting for Santiago to come back to inquire about Hadrian's matter. Scarlette was also feeling on edge about it.

Xanthus and Cynthia didn't rest either. When they saw Raeleigh and Scarlette come back, they both sat down in the living room.

Santiago came in from the door. It wasn't until he sat down that Raeleigh started asking, "Is Hadrian in hot water? Did someone really die?"

"The waiter is dead for sure." Santiago sat down, picked up an orange, and began peeling it.

Raeleigh gasped. "Seriously?"

"Otherwise, why was Flynt so arrogant?" When speaking of Flynt, derision was written all over Santiago's face. Cynthia blanched when she heard what he said. Santiago then added, "Cynthia, you shouldn't consider yourself one of them. You didn't do anything other than bearing the same family name as them."

Cynthia didn't answer. Santiago patted the spot next to him. "Come and sit here."

Cynthia swept her eyes across everyone before she got up and sat down beside him.

Only then did Santiago continue saying, "Do you mind it?"

How could she not mind it? Nonetheless, she didn't leave. She gazed at Santiago. "I know that you guys are not wrong, but I don't blame Flynt either. You've no idea how pathetic it is to grow up within the Cole family."

"When I was very young, my mother used to beat him with a stick. Back in the day, he was just a three-year-old child who knew nothing. He was punished because he spoke up for the servant. On top of that, he had to admit that he was wrong before my mother."

"We kids were standing aside and watching as he was punished, but none of us dared to intercede for him."

"I can tell the truth, and I know right from wrong. However, I would like to make myself clear. I'm not going to let Flynt do harm to others. I will help you."

"Little fool." Santiago raised his hand and pinched her nose. She instantaneously blushed and lowered her head. She was much older than Santiago, so she really couldn't avoid blushing at such an intimate gesture.

Xanthus furrowed his brow when he saw that. "No one blames you. If you aren't feeling well, then go upstairs first. You have no part in this mess. Flynt will be fine too."

Cynthia's eyes landed on Xanthus. After getting along with him, she felt that he regarded Raeleigh as his younger sister. Right then, he started to talk, and she could accept what he said.

"I'll go upstairs first." Cynthia looked at Santiago, who then nodded. She rose and went upstairs.

After Cynthia left, Santiago handed the peeled orange to Raeleigh, which she accepted. She was about to share it with Scarlette, but Santiago extended his hand to stop her. "Have it yourself. She can peel it herself if she wants to eat it."

Scarlette pulled a long face, picking up an orange, and began to peel it. To her, Santiago was really partial towards Raeleigh.

Just when she was peeling the orange, Santiago threatened her without hesitation. "I don't care about what happened between Hadrian and you, but you can't absolve your involvement in this problem. I've heard that he fought because you flirted with the waiter under his nose. Is that true?"

Scarlette broke out in cold sweat when she received such a strong accusation against her from Santiago.

"In my defence, Mr. Santiago, I merely talked to that guy. I was not flirting." Indeed, she hadn't flirted. She had just been chatting with the waiter.

"Hadrian was by your side. Which is why, to talk and smile at another man would be reckoned as flirting. Do you really need me to give you a lesson on this?" said Santiago, his face emanating sternness. Scarlette felt that it was too unjust, but she didn't dare to retort. She could only reply, "I didn't know this."

"So you say. Do you know it now?"
