Getting My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 1495 The Past



Raeleigh asked Trevor, “Did something happen to you when you went there?”

Trevor snapped back to reality and looked at Raeleigh. “Things went very well when we went to get the goblet. Nothing happened. Moreover, the other party was a very open-minded person. After what I said, he was willing to let us have it.

“In the end, we got the bronze goblet at a relatively reasonable price.

“Then, I gave it to my friend, who promised to go and save the child tomorrow.

“Unfortunately, he suddenly fell ill that night and was hospitalized for appendicitis.

“My friend had arranged to meet the kidnappers the next day, so I had to go in his stead.

“At that time, I didn’t think much about it. All I thought about was saving his child. That was the most important thing.

“However, I didn’t expect that the kidnappers would grab me when I got there. They even smashed the bronze goblet I brought, telling me that it was a fake.

“Back then, I was still in that field so I knew a little about the bronze wares from that time.

“I didn’t believe them when they told me it was a fake. I argued with them, but they insisted that I lied to them and wanted to kill me.

“I was worried that something would happen to my friend’s child. I wanted the kidnappers to stay calm. They told me that I could leave as long as I handed over the real bronze goblet.

“But I didn’t have anything else with me. I only had the goblet I brought.

“They weren’t willing to let the child go, nor did they want money. They only wanted the bronze ware.

“Suddenly, my wife called me. They took my phone away and spoke to her.

“As a result, my wife immediately took action and asked them what they wanted. They said that they wanted the real bronze goblet. My wife first went to look for my friend to find out everything that had happened. Then, she called me again, but this time it wasn’t me that answered the phone.

“My wife has always been shrewd. When she spoke to them on the phone, she asked them what would happen if she found the real goblet but they insisted that it was a fake.”

“They said they needed to get it appraised by someone. She asked who would appraise it.

“They said they wanted the best, which were Lamar Osteen and his wife.”

Trevor closed his eyes and exhaled slowly. Raeleigh suddenly asked, “Was it…”

“Let me finish.” Trevor did not want to be interrupted. He continued, “My wife agreed, but she wanted to take back the goblet I had brought. They didn’t agree at first. After a long negotiation, she finally managed to get it back.

“By then, my friend was very upset because he didn’t know whether it was fake or not.

“My friend racked his brains and finally decided to take a risk. He got a batch of fake bronze wares and put them together. Then, he asked the Osteen couple to identify which of those were the fake ones.

“My friend also vowed not to trouble my family anymore about that matter. They would hunt for it personally.

“However, they didn’t succeed. My wife was anxious to save me, so she finally targeted Lamar’s wife, Jazelle’s, baby.

“After Jazelle gave birth, the kidnappers wanted Marissa to give them the baby in exchange for me. When the Osteen couple signed the appraiser’s report, the baby would be returned.

“My wife is someone eager for quick success and benefits, and she does not care about others’ feelings. But being married for more than ten years, I knew very well that my wife was not a heartless person. The baby was still so little, so she would not harm her.

“It’s just that she had to take risks for my sake.

“However, not long after she took the baby, my wife met a group of people who snatched the baby from my wife’s arms.

“My wife was also stunned, and she was also injured.

“As my wife was afraid of being found out, she didn’t dare to call the police.

“And at that time, the Osteen couple still were not cooperative. My friend searched all over the world and finally spent a large amount of money on a rare treasure. He sent it to the kidnappers, and only then did they let me and his son go.

“Although it seemed as if there were not many casualties, we all knew that my wife had made a mistake, and this would become our Achilles’ heel.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“We were also overwhelmed with guilt. It was the darkest moment, and it made us fully aware of the pain of losing someone we love.

“Although the Doyle family did not mention it, my wife and I knew that sooner or later, this matter would spread to other ears.

“In recent years, because of my son’s sensibility and filial piety, as well as my indulgence, my wife has become more and more arrogant. Although she looks approachable, she has changed.

“Now that I’m older, I couldn’t care less about these things. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t have many years left. I’d be contented just to live a safe and peaceful life with her.

“It’s just that…

“The Doyle family’s appearance and the debt we owe to the Osteen couple are both things that I can never forget.”

Trevor looked at Raeleigh, “Do you know who my friend is?”

She thought for a moment. “Is it Stella’s grandfather?”

“Yes, it’s him.” Trevor looked at Raeleigh calmly. “The more we experience in life, the more that we understand. We have many friends, and we have encountered many unexpected events together.”

To the Richards family, it was impossible that the Doyle family would ignore what had happened.

“This matter of kidnapping a child, even though it isn’t a matter of taking one’s life, it’s a matter of reputation. If our reputation is gone, the Richards family won’t have a foothold in this world.”

“So the Doyle family came this time to force a marriage?” Raeleigh asked. Trevor nodded and said, “You can say that.”

The Doyle family did not mention what happened in the past. However, they mentioned that Stella was injured and that Stella had liked Jerry for a long time, so they wanted the two families to join together.

“If Stella had been fine, I might have been able to refuse. But now that she’s in such a state, the Richards family cannot refuse,” said Trevor.

That was the key point. Raeleigh finally understood what was going on.

After thinking for a while, Raeleigh asked, “But I have got my marriage certificate. How can I divorce? Besides, I can’t make the decision on this matter. It’s all based on Jepherson’s decision.”

“Even so, there is something that can be done. I don’t want you to divorce. I want you to pacify the Doyle family first. Let’s talk about this after I think of a solution,” he replied.

Trevor’s words were sincere and Raeleigh understood them clearly.

Now that the truth of what happened twenty years ago had come to light, Raeleigh was relieved. She also believed that there was more to it.

The Doyle family must have had set up a trap.

After giving it some thought, Raeleigh said, “Can you please tell me the truth? Do you roughly know what is going on?”

Trevor looked at Raeleigh and said, “When the first step is wrong, every subsequent step will be wrong. I was involved that time, so I have no choice.”

Raeleigh looked at Trevor. “You already knew?”

Trevor laughed. “Why wouldn’t I remember the losses I suffered? I’ll remember them for the rest of my life.

“However, there are some things that are pointless to be said out loud.”

Raeleigh sat for a while and said, “Do you mean…”
