Chapter 1325 Not Likeable
Jepherson and Santiago came out of the basement, no words exchanged between them. It was almost
impossible to tell what transpired between them inside.
After they left, Jacky went inside to see that the attackers were still alive. However...
It was not a sight anyone could stomach in any way. Heaven knew what kind of ghastly punishment
Jepherson and Santiago had meted out to them to have their limbs snapped like twigs. It would be
better to have bestowed on them a quick death than leaving them in such a half-dead state. However,
Jepherson and Santiago didn''t kill them. To be frank, it must have been Santiago''s work of art. Jacky
could almost imagine how he would deal with them.
He only came out of the basement after getting someone to clean up the scene.
When he was about to call Deanna, he couldn''t reach her.
Jacky knew that Rhys had returned.
After hanging up the phone, Jacky nced at the phone he was holding and returned to his room to
wait, for that was the only thing he could do.
...
Aftering out of the vige, Santiago started smoking. Jepherson got into the car and sat down. He
crossed his legs and took out a clean wet towel to wipe his hands. He nced at the person sitting in
front of him.
On a seat where Stuart should have been was then another person. This kind of ambiguous feeling
was like a sharp knife piercing through Jepherson''s heart.
Jepherson averted his gaze and stared out of the window. It wasn''t a coincidence. Someone had
started to plot against them.
Remembering his father''s words, this world would reject them like foreign substances sooner orter.
A tree which had grown to take up space in the world would start to capture people''s attention.
It was inevitable that a storm would be brewing and a battle would be waged against their family.
The car was driven from Waverly Vige to Capital City. The two brothers got out of the car and went
straight to the Atkinson family residence, their first desNorahtion, instead of their own home.
ncing at each other, Santiago sauntered to the door and rang the doorbell.
Tetsuo came out and saw them. His first thought was to keep them out, so he had to conjure up many
excuses.
"Mr. Jepherson, Mr. Santiago," Tetsuo greeted politely at the door before nodding.
Jepherson did not reply. He stood by the side like a tree. A powerful force shot forth. Tetsuo, who had a
lot of experience due to his old age, felt swayed in his presence.
It was said that Santiago was not someone to be trifled with. In fact, Jepherson was more terrifying,
and he did not need to utter a word. Quiet as he was, he could also raise terror in people.
On the other hand, Santiago was his pr opposite. He raised his foot and kicked at the door. Without
using too much force, he gently kicked it twice. It was just like a child kicking at a door. He did it despite
being in front of an adult, but still, nobody would dare to lecture him.
Tetsuo couldn''t tell Rhys that it was Santiago knocking at the door, but he couldn''t lie to his master
either.
He sighed.
"Mr. Jepherson, Mr. Santiago, what brings you here today?" Tetsuo asked.
Jepherson remained silent, after which Santiago said, "How do we feel about some tea?"
The old Lennox was speechless. This was no excuse for one to pay a visit. The Harvey family was
among the richest in Capital City. How could they not afford a drink?
Tetsuo really didn''t expect this reason. It wouldn''t be good if he didn''t let them in. He had mentally
armed himself with excuses, but even so, that was not his time to shine.
Santiago lowered his head and tucked his hands into his pockets. No one knew what he was thinking.
He kept looking at the ground, as if there was something good on the ground.
Tetsuo tried to look at Jepherson, but he was subdued. He said, "The master and the madam are back.
They often mention the two young masters from the Harvey family, but the madam is not in good health
and needs to rest. I''m afraid this is not a good time for them to receive guests. I have to report to them
at first notice. Please wait for a moment."
After Tetsuo finished speaking, he observed the emotions of the two brothers. They werepletely
devoid of any. He didn''t say anything and could only turn around and leave.
At that time, Rhys was standing in the room, his hands sped behind his back. Seeing the old
housekeepere in, he asked, "Aren''t they going to leave?"
"Yes, sir."
Tetsuo took a few steps forward and went to talk to Rhys about this matter.
Rhys was deep in thought. "Tell them that I won''t be seeing them. Tell them not toe."
Tetsuo hesitated. "Is this advisable?"
Rhys smiled and said, "Although they are not afraid of anything, they still know the rules and won''t dare
toe in."
The old Lennox still hesitated. "But if that''s the case, won''t it displease them?"

"I don''t even care about Calvin, what do I care about them? Who would be displeased, them or us? We
can''t be sure at this stage. If they hadn''t stuck their noses to where they don''t belong, then Zorion and
Deanna wouldn''t have ended up like this. Although I don''t me them and the rtionship has long
been predestined, I can''t just let them get away with this."
"Send them away."
"Yes, sir."
The old Lennox turned around and left. Rhys looked outside with his hands sped behind his back.
Soon, Tetsuo was outside.
"Mr. Jepherson, Mr. Santiago... Mr. Atkinson won''t be seeing you today."
Since things hade to this extent, he didn''t even have to acknowledge them. He was quite
straightforward.
Jepherson turned around and returned to the car. He neither did anything nor showed any emotion. He
walked without a care.
Santiago toed the door lightly for onest time.
Tetsuo was a little worried. Santiago was not the kind of person who would y by the rules.
However, after standing for a while, a man got out of the car and walked towards Santiago. "Mr.
Santiago, Mr. Jepherson has requested for you to return to the car."
Only then did Santiago turn around and return to his car. Tetsuo finally heaved a sigh of relief.
The Harvey family car had gone far. Tetsuo wiped away his sweat and hurried back to answer to Rhys.
"The two young masters of the Harvey family have left." Back inside the house, he immediately told
Rhys. Rhys stood there without a word. Tetsuo asked, "Master Atkinson, will theye again?"
"I''m not sure, but..."
Rhys turned around to look at the people around them. The servants went away one after another,
leaving Tetsuo alone.
Rhys turned around and said, "Compared to Calvin, I only have one son. Deanna can''t take up any
responsibility and Zorion is in bad shape."
"I had thought that with Santiago''s temper, he would be Jepherson''s opponent. But I have known them
since they were small. Santiago has too many tricks up his sleeve and I''m afraid that with him under
Jepherson''s wing, Jepherson will be even more powerful. If we don''t help them, then what will be
the result? It''s a pity."
"Mr. Atkinson, what about Jacky?" Tetsuo asked. The baby in Deanna''s womb is Jacky''s. Mr. Atkinson
was already prepared to let Deanna have the baby. This meant that the child was going to be born. By
then, Jacky would not be an outsider in the Atkinson family. Not to mention, Jacky is indeed very
outstanding."
Rhys only thought for a moment before saying, "Jacky is already another one of Jepherson''s loyal
allies."
"Then, what about Mr. Zorion..."
Tetsuo trailed off.
Rhys remained silent for a long time. "Sess or failure, it all depends on Zorion himself."
Rhys furrowed his brows. Calvin liked to scheme and plot. Nobody expected that his two sons would
grow up to lengthen that legacy of his. Why weren''t they more likeable?
After standing for a while, Rhys raised his hand and waved. "You may leave."
Tetsuo then left Rhys alone.
