Getting My Ex-wife Back

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Seibert said, looking a little flustered. He then turned around and walked to the door. However, before he could open the door, someone entered the room. When he saw that it was Santiago, he took a couple of steps backward and greeted, “Mr. Santiago.”

Santiago was smirking as he walked towards Raeleigh’s cell with his hands in his pockets. He said as he walked, “At least you know that I’m Mr. Santiago. I was afraid that you had forgotten who I am. You definitely have the guts. How dare you make decisions on my behalf?”

Seibert glanced at the lawyer who was walking behind Santiago. Calmly, the lawyer said, “Seibert, you’re such a narcissist! Just because Mr. Jepherson isn’t around, so you think there’s no one to hold down the fort? You are wrong! The legal advisors of the Richards family are not to be trifled with. We take orders from Stuart, who take orders from Mr. Jepherson. If something happens and you don’t want to tell us, that’s fine, but we will find out one way or the either. We already heard what happened even before you called us. We were just waiting for you to call us to come and save Mr. Santiago. Unfortunately, you did not. We waited for an hour before deciding to take matters into our own hands, which I’m sure you’re not aware of.”

“How is this possible?” Seibert was shocked. He had been investigating the Richards family all these years. It was not possible!Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

He was positive that he did his research properly.

On the other hand, Santiago was amused. “How is it not impossible?”

With a grim face, Seibert gritted his teeth and said, “So what? Even so, you can’t escape the law. I have evidence to prove that you are a murderer! You knew that there was something wrong with your car, but you did not warn them about any potential bomb. You deliberately waited for them to come and check your car. As a result, those policemen were killed in the explosion. After that, you came into the police station and injured a policewoman. I’m sure you will be punished for your crimes!”

Santiago entered the door and walked up to Seibert. Pointing at Seibert, he said, “I knew you were trouble from the moment I first saw you. Little did I know that you like playing the game of a cat and a mouse. I told my brother that I’m willing to play along just as long as no one gets hurt.”

“Don’t you know that I know you’re the reason I’m continuously getting hurt?”

“If you don’t want people to know, then you should not do it! Not only have you underestimated the Richards family, but you’ve also underestimated me!”

“Hmph! You want to play games, huh? Fine, I’ll play!”

“You want me to plead guilty? Sure! We’ll wait and see who’s actually the guilty one.”

Santiago turned around and saw a few men emerged from behind him, dressed in a policeman outfit. The moment Seibert saw those men, his face immediately fell. “How is that possible? I thought they were dead!”

“Dead?” Santiago was amused by his words. “Are you kidding? They work for the Richards family. How is it possible that they would die?”

“They work for the Richards family?”

Seibert could not believe what was happening and remained silent. At that moment, he had a strong feeling that the policewoman was faking her injury as well.

Then, the superintendent entered the room and looked at Seibert. “Are you Mr. Seibert?”

“Yes, and you are?”

“It doesn’t matter who I am, but you’re done, just give up.”

After that, the superintendent turned around and left with his men. At this time, only Raeiegh, Santiago, and Seibert were in the room. The lawyer had also left.

Santiago stepped towards Seibert, but Seibert took a step back, wanting to cower behind Raeleigh. However, Raeleigh was not a fool. She immediately knew what his intentions were. She roughly estimated the distance between her and the restroom before sprinting towards it. In a flash, Seibert hurriedly chased after her. Santiago was stunned as he thought that Seibert only wanted to cower behind Raeleigh.

In a haste, she went into the restroom, picked up a bucket and started filling it with water.

Upon hearing the footsteps approaching, she poured some dishwashing liquid into the water and mixed it.

Carefully, Raeleigh then climbed onto the sink and waited for Seibert. She warned, “Seibert, you’d better not come in.”

Seibert stood at the door and sneered, “You wish! You’re my only way out.”

The moment Seibert entered the restroom,  Raeleigh immediately splashed the water in the bucket onto him. The floor became so slippery that he struggled to stay on his feet.

Santiago stood at the door and watched the scene unfold. Glancing at Raeleigh, he stifled a laugh. He looked over at Seibert and wanted to walk over to him but Raeleigh said, “Don’t come over. It’s too slippery.”

There was soap all over the entire floor. It was impossible for anyone to walk without slipping.

However, Santiago smiled smugly. “Let’s give it a try then.”

Siebert turned around and glared at Santiago, “Santiago, do you remember hitting me?”

“Are you talking about when you were little or after you grew up?” Santiago started walking towards him. Every step he took towards him did not look like he would slip over. Raeleigh was shocked. However, she did not dare to lower her guard. She quickly filled another bucket of water just in case.

“When I was little. You bullied me just because you were from the Richards family. You even asked Hadrian and Scarlette to hit me. Do you still remember?”

Seibert’s face gradually showed ferocity, but Santiago remained indifferent. He said, “No, I don’t.”

“You…..”

In a split second, raw anger shot through Seibert. However, Santiago said, “I just could not stand the sight of you because you were so ugly. I did not think much about it. I’m from the Richards family and you’re just a lackey. So, why can’t I hit you?”

“Santiago, God is watching. You’ve crossed the line.”

Seibert gnashed his teeth. Raeleigh laughed sacarstically, “What are you talking about? It is you who schemed against Santiago. You’re the one who crossed the line! You did not know your place! How could you say something like this?”

Raeleigh could not stand it anymore.

Santiago’s lips curled into a smile. “Did you hear that? I am not the one who crossed the line! You’re the one who does not know your place!”

As Seibert felt as if he was being attacked, his fury immediately sprang to life. He did not dare to go up against Santiago, so he rushed towards Raeleigh. At that moment, Raeleigh quickly lifted the bucket and poured the water at Seibert before moving out of the way. Santiago kicked Seibert from behind which caused him to lose his balance, hitting his head on the sink as he fell onto the ground.

Raeleigh did not move. Santiago trampled over Seibert as he made his way towards Raeleigh. She vaguely heard Seibert let out a scream. She looked over and saw that the color had drained from Seibert’s face as he lay on the ground. He seemed like he was in a lot of pain when she notice the sweat glistening on his forehead.

Seibert wanted to get up, but could not muster the strength.

Raeleigh said, “Do you have spikes underneath your shoes?”

“No, it’s winter. I’m wearing snow boots. I’m lucky that I wore this, aren’t I? Who would have thought that you’re so smart?”

Santiago reached out for Raeleigh’s hand and carried her out of the restroom. Raeleigh was initially wondering how the hell she was going to walk out of this place without slipping over.

As Santiago carried her out of the restroom, Raeleigh looked back at Seibert and could not help but feel sorry for him.

However, there was nothing Raeleigh could do.

After emerging from the police station, Santiago took off his coat and draped it around Raeleigh. Then, he ordered his men, “Get rid of Seibert. Also, I want you to investigate who he’s actually working for.”

After that, Raeleigh got into the car and followed Santiago over to the Richards Family Manor.
