Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1794 On The Defense

Loward knew that things weren't in his favor. His head lowered as Raeleigh spun around on one leg

and kicked him with the other. He stepped back to evade it, but then Raeleigh outflanked him and

struck at the back of his head with a butterfly knife. Strands of hair and even a piece of his scalp were

cut off. The most shocking thing was how the butterfly knife had swiftly returned to Raeleigh's hand.

She spun the knife in a continuous whirlwind of movement. This time, however, she brought the still

spinning butterfly knife to her front and then placed it at the side of her body when it slowed down.

Loward didn't expect to suffer such a loss. He touched the back of his head tentatively with one hand.

At the sticky feeling, he brought it back forward and studied his hand with an ugly expression on his

face.

"B*tch, I'll make sure you'll be dead by today." With that said, Loward desperately charged towards

Raeleigh.

She immediately retreated two steps back. She had not confronted Loward directly all this while. Every

time he attacked her, if she was able to dodge, then she would dodge. If she couldn't, even then she

won't go head-to-head with him but find other ways to go about it. In this way, she would not unduly get

hurt.

Loward was a man with an explosive temper. If he didn't manage to land a hit or even hurt her and at

every failed attack, he would attack even more aggressively. Raeleigh was unable to balance herself

this time around though and fell onto her rump in her retreat. Loward took advantage of the opening

this gave him and smashed a bulletproof hammer down on her head. Jaird barely managed to scream

out a sentence as he anxiously reached for her but was pulled back by Fehmen.

Raeleigh paid no attention to what was going on in the sidelines. In order to stop Loward's blow, her

butterfly knife flew out to meet his attack. Loward had already expected this and flung out his own

blade with a raise of his hand. Both knives clashed against each other, a piercing, harsh metallic sound

rang out as metal slid against metal. Despite this, Raeleigh's knife wasn't immediately overwhelmed by

it.

Loward found it amusing. "A woman is still a woman after all, you don't have my strength."

Raeleigh grinned, "Really? How about now?"

With a grunt, she pushed herself up from the ground and with her momentum, kneed him in the

stomach. Another butterfly knife appeared in her left hand, which was plunged deeply into his

abdomen.

When Raeleigh got up earlier, her knee was specifically aimed at his ribs and it took a lot of strength

plus gritted teeth to pull this move off.

Loward's wound wasn't fatal, but both his eyes glared fiercely in her direction, his expression twisted

with rage,

Raeleigh curved her mouth into a faux smile. "I forgot to tell you, these butterfly knives are called

'Double Wings'. They come in pairs, but to someone as careless as you, it's unsurprising that you didn't

discover them."

Loward scowled at her. He lifted his hand with the intention to tug her down but Raeleigh exerted a little

more pressure on the knife and he immediately went still.

The feeling of flesh being cut off was painful, but what made it more excruciating was that the flesh was

being cut with the blunt side of the knife. The present Raeleigh didn't have much strength, thus when

she retaliated, it brought forth a type of unbearable agony.

Loward's face twisted up even further and a bright red stream of blood flowed down from his mouth, his

eyes about to pop out from his face.

Jaird and Fehmen were both stunned by what happened. Was that really Raeleigh?

When the people right at the back saw that Loward had been subdued, they dare not make any sudden

moves.

Just then, dozens of vehicles arrived one after another and surrounded the whole area. The person in

the lead was Harvey, who got out of the car and ran towards Raeleigh. When he registered the scene

in front of him, in which Raeleigh was pressing Loward down with one knee, her eyes burnt bright like

flaming torches as she glared down at him, he was utterly stupefied.

Harvey had originally gone out together with Raeleigh, but halfway through she sent a text message to

him and instructed him to stand guard at the entrance of the Capital City. He must wait until Loward

had been subdued before he could come out again in order to minimize casualties as much as

possible.

Harvey was on tenterhooks all this while, but he couldn't disobey her either.

Raeleigh was right. Once the sounds of gunshots being fired broke out, it would stir up a panic. He

couldn't let anything happen between Capital City and Waverly Village.

Harvey chose to trust Raeleigh. When he saw that the other side had put their guns down, he wanted

to come out but still hesitated.

Harvey was worried that something bad would happen and held himself back in the end.

Jacky had utmost trust in Raeleigh, therefore Harvey had trust in her too.

"Raeleigh..."

Harvey spoke out much later in the day, after the rest of the goons had been rounded up and arrested.

Raeleigh made sure that Loward was dead before she finally straightened up from her crouched form.

Nevertheless, she still swayed on her feet as she stood. In that instant, Loward's eyes all of a sudden

shot open. Raeleigh threw her knife out of reflex into his neck without hesitation. His body instantly

stilled, his head lolled to one side. His whole figure deflated like a balloon as everything about him lay

slacked.

Raeleigh bent over Loward's front to pull out the butterfly knife from his neck. When the knife slid free,

blood spRhysed out of the wound and onto her face. She dodged it but was unable to fully get away

and still got some of the blood on her face.

Raeleigh froze, as if her whole being had been petrified. But then at the next moment, Raeleigh slowly

turned around towards Harvey and Jaird, her face expressionless and overall being apathetic.

Jaird immediately took off his coat and helped to wipe her face

Raeleigh stood there motionlessly. Jaird wiped and spoke at the same time, "Talk to me."

Raeleigh slowly looked towards him, "About what?"

Jaird burst out into laughter. "Anything is fine."

Raeleigh rolled her eyes at him and said nothing. Harvey ran back to get some water and wiped her

face with a towel. Jaird wiped Raeleigh's neck while Harvey rubbed her face. There were injuries on

her body, hence Jaird took out the outermost layer of her clothes. He had a feeling that she wasn't

feeling much of anything at this point.

It was only after he took some of her clothes off that he discovered that there wasn't any inner wear on

Raeleigh's body except for some bandages. Although only her right shoulder was exposed, Jaird's

eyes were still wide in mortification.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Harvey wasn't aware as he focused on taking off his coat together with a sweater he had worn inside.

He didn't mind as he had on a thermal vest.

"Raeleigh, please put it on first." Harvey put the coat on for Raeleigh. Jaird immediately took off his

own coat and added, "It's too cold, wear one layer more."

Raeleigh did not stand on ceremony and let Jaird put it on for her.

She had just donned her clothes when Jepherson and the rest came in their cars. They stopped in

succession on the periphery of the warehouse right after everything had already ended.

Jepherson got out of the car and stared blankly at everything around him. He saw Raeleigh from afar

and stalked up to her.

Raeleigh left Harvey and the others behind, but not before she picked up the knife that had

previously been deflected and silently hid it behind her back.

Jaird and the others all noticed Raeleigh's inconspicuous action, but they were all aware of one fact.

She only took such precautions for one person only and that was Jepherson.

Jepherson walked to Raeleigh and asked, "Where are you here?"

Jepherson's voice was very loud with a belly full of anger. Raeleigh didn't say anything in reply. She

only intended to leave. Jepherson gripped Raeleigh's right arm before she could do so. "Why won't you

answer me?"

His voice was loud in volume, but it's a pity that she remained unaffected and didn't reply. She tilted her

eyes up a little. Jacky and Zorion were also present and had just got down from the car. It's only when

her eyes landed on Jacky did she speak, "Clean up, before dawn breaks have everything cleared."

Jacky lowered his head and said nothing in response. Raeleigh raised her left hand to shove away

Jepherson's hand. When that didn't work, she raised her head towards him and uttered, "I want to take

a bath."

Jepherson gritted his teeth. "What are you hiding behind your back?"

Raeleigh didn't answer. Jepherson turned her around and lifted her clothes to reveal the two butterfly

knives strapped to her back.

He took his hand away and put it back by his side. "Go and wait in the car."

His voice was filled with fury. The wind whistled past the area as if in accompaniment to his turbulent

emotions. No one spoke a word. Zorion walked up to Raeleigh and prompted, "Let's go."
