"Yes, I know," Jowley said, immediately leaving to carry out the task.Although surveillance was an outdated plan, and the bed seemed easy to detect, it was still a timeless option and ranked among the most effective choices.That's why Alex still wanted to choose it.Shortly after, he received a phone call from Jowley."Chairman, I have prepared a car for you. Should I leave it in the company's parking garage or the lobby?"Alex smirked. He intended to tell Jowley to leave the car in the lobby and that he would be there soon. But after reconsidering, he changed his mind and responded with a different answer:"Where are you?"Jowley didn't understand why Alex asked him back like that, but he still answered, "I'm at A2A Pro. They asked where to deliver the car, so I asked you.""Tell them to drive the car to Puente intersection and leave it there. I'll be there right away.""Alright."Jowley didn't understand what Alex was planning or the significance of these actions, but based on his

The cashier hesitated momentarily at Alex's action, but she eventually reacted and handed him the newly acquired bills. "Here you go, sir," she said."Thank you, have a great day," Alex replied."Have a great day," she echoed.After speaking, Alex left.He went to the parking lot and drove away. However, instead of heading straight to the company, he chose a nearby parking lot, parked there, and walked to the Forest Corporation.Upon returning to his office, he immediately picked up the landline phone and called Jowley."Come to my office right away. I have something to delegate," Alex instructed."Yes," Jowley replied.While waiting for Jowley, Alex laid out the bills he had just obtained from the supermarket and examined them with his naked eyes. He held one of the bills up to the light, simultaneously taking out another one-hundred-dollar bill of his own and placing it next to the newly acquired one, comparing them side by side.Indeed, they were identical, down to the smallest det

Jowley's words made both Alex and Jessica extremely nervous and curious. Then, Jowley spoke, "Those are indeed counterfeit bills, made with great craftsmanship and attention to detail."The result was not surprising to Alex and Isabel. Alex was already about seventy per cent sure of this, and Isabel, through Alex's account, also sensed the unusualness of the situation and was confident that these were counterfeit bills.With the result, Isabel immediately asked Alex, "What do you plan to do next?"In reality, Alex had already thought about the next plan while waiting for Jowley to examine the bills. He had thought about what and how he would do it. So, at this moment, he just needed to voice it out.Alex placed his hands on the table and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch its cubs."Upon hearing Alex's answer, Isabel and Jowley had their thoughts and speculations. But to be sure, Isabel asked again, "What do you mean?""I mean... of course, we can't directly ap

In Jack's mind, Alex couldn't be charismatic, kind, sophisticated, protective, weak, or cowardly. If Alex possessed any of those qualities, they would only be a pretence, not the person Jack knew. So, when Jack saw Alex defending Isabel, he felt furious and resentful. He would think he was deceiving himself, believing Alex was trying to appear brave and heroic to impress others.Jack refused to acknowledge the reality. At this moment, Alex and Isabel were furious and dissatisfied with Jack's arrogant behaviour. She wanted to step forward and push him away, but Alex anticipated her actions and stopped her. Then, Alex stood up and did something unimaginable to Jack – he made him away swiftly with his arm. The move seemed gentle, as it only impacted Jack's right shoulder, but the force behind it was unexpectedly powerful, causing Jack to fall backwards onto the ground.Jack's buttocks hit the ground hard, causing a painful sensation that left him dazed. What shocked him, even more was th

Isabel startled herself, wishing she could slap herself hard enough to snap out of the beautiful dream in her heart. How could Alex want... to have a child with her? Not to mention their current relationship was just a facade, not actual. Isabel had overthought things too much.But she couldn't prevent herself from feeling embarrassed and losing face in front of Alex. Even though she knew he was unaware of her inner thoughts, she still felt he knew something. Isabel awkwardly turned her face away, then closed her eyes and said, "I'm a bit tired; maybe it's because of the sunlight. Sunstroke, perhaps.""Is that so?" Alex noticed and reached out to remove the sunshade in Isabel's spot. This action made her even more flustered, wishing she could dig a hole to hide in. She felt ashamed and disoriented, forgetting to take down the sunshade herself, all while claiming to have sunstroke. Alex was naturally wise, and Isabel's actions were like crying foul, revealing her unusual behaviour.But
