"Oh, Boland, huh?" Mrs. Cage's face slightly changed, seeming pale and unnatural when mentioning the Boland family. Alex quickly noticed this and added, appearing casual as if nothing was amiss."He seems like a good person. I heard he has four children, and it would be great if my daughter could be friends with them. It would help her feel less lonely."Mrs. Cage laughed momentarily, but the maid interrupted, bringing tea and interrupting their conversation.After the maid left, Mrs. Cage held her tea cup gently and took a sip, her face showing a thoughtful expression as if pondering something. Alex remained silent, waiting to see how the conversation would continue. Finally, Mrs. Cage spoke up:"I think you shouldn't let your daughter associate with that family."Alex looked surprised, and Isabel played her part perfectly, acting as if she couldn't believe it."Why? Haven't you watched TV? Oh well, maybe you didn't pay attention to those silly commercials, or perhaps you never chose
"If you're interested in this job, I can introduce you to Mrs. Boland," Mrs. Robinson suggested.Seeing the puzzled expressions on Isabel and Alex's faces, Mrs. Robinson thought they might be interested in trying out the job. So, she continued, carefully observing their reactions as she spoke.When they heard Mrs. Robinson's words on Alex and Isabel's side, it was as if a door had been suddenly opened, or rather, a hidden underground passage had been revealed. They were hoping for this, a direction they had yet to consider or dare to pursue fully.If they could "infiltrate" Rihana's "gang," nothing would be better. Suppose Alex or Isabel gained Rihana's trust, proving they were harmless and ordinary. In that case, she might entrust them with tasks, allowing them to replace her in performing illegal activities. This was an excellent opportunity.Alex glanced at Isabel at the exact moment she looked back at him. They exchanged glances as if they understood the underlying intention. It a
Jack felt like Henry was talking nonsense and didn't want to listen anymore. He glanced at his watch; it was almost time for him to return to Mrs. Locke's hospital room, or she would go crazy with him. But at the moment, he still had to endure Henry's rambling."Alright, you can text me, and I'll read it later. I'm busy right now...""Jack, interrupting others is not cool; you're short-sighted. Listen to my analysis. If it's just about finding a body dumped there, how can you be sure that the construction site caused the person's death? Once the forensic team gets involved, they can find out the truth. Moreover, the death of a child always causes more outrage than an adult's. And do you know what? I've estimated that the width of the little boy's shoulders is even smaller than that of the centrifugal concrete pipe at the construction site. If that kid falls into it, it will be an accidental death, and Alex and Forest Corporation will be held responsible."Jack was bored and treated He
The butler Germ controlled Jack, pinned to the ground, and was uncomfortable, resentful, and disobedient; he was furious and humiliated because an older man defeated him."After all, what do you want!? What are you plotting!? Say it now!""You've asked me this question no less than twice; don't you know what I want? This is unbelievable." Butler Germ said that Jack's tricks compared to him, were nothing but childish games, after all; he smiled wryly and then squeezed Jack tighter, making him groan.Jack seemed to be unable to breathe now, and finally, he couldn't take it anymore; he groaned, begging:"Okay, I'll do what you want, I'll do what you want; you let go of me first.""What do you have for me to believe you? what if you keep flipping and attacking me?" Butler Germ, of course, didn't let go so quickly; he kept his grip on Jack, making his joints crackle.Because of this, Jack is forced to agree:"Okay, okay, you let go of my lap a little bit, you let me breathe, then we'll tal
Mrs. Locke, after receiving Jack's grip on her shirt, was highly shocked; she couldn't believe that her beloved grandson could do this to her; it was so unethical, bold, and impossibly acceptable.Mrs. Locke seemed to be frozen for a few seconds, and after she regained consciousness, she felt only a great fire burning in her heart.“You… you… you dare do this to me. Do you want to rebel?"At first, she stammered, almost speechless, And then screaming, she clutched Jack's arm, wanting to rip him off her collar."Let go, let go!"Mrs. Locke struggled, but Jack now seemed to be emotionless, neither hearing nor feeling anything around him; he still held tightly to Mrs. Locke's collar and did not let go, despite her shouting or tearing his arm.And the people around at this time could not look the other way anymore; they were forced to intervene, remove the two, and simultaneously speak up for reconciliation.Now feeling that he had seen enough of the play, Butler Germ approached and hande
"I have obtained Jack's stash," Germ said.Of course, Germ didn't do anything without a purpose; there was a reason behind this. After hearing Germ's words, Phil sighed softly and asked, "Stash? How did you manage that?""This is something you shouldn't know; ultimately, you should just trust me," Germ replied.Though his son didn't resemble an ordinary child, at least not in his thinking, Germ still tried to protect his child's thoughts and the world around him, limiting Phil from witnessing or knowing too much about the terrifying aspects of the adult world. Germ knew it was precisely because of this protection that Phil had developed such mature thinking. It was hard for anyone to believe that a three-year-old child could possess such a profound understanding."Alright then, if you don't want to tell me, I won't force it. Now that this is settled, you can leave, and I'll have my mother deliver this to Chairman Alex. I only need you to ensure that the information inside is authentic
That was a zip bag, and a black USD (recording device) was inside.Alex began to realize the importance of the matter. An anonymous package with a recording device sent to him?The first thing Alex asked Jowley was not if he had checked the contents of the USD, but rather, "Did you pass it to the technical department for inspection?"Indeed, Alex was concerned that there might be a bomb or something else that could harm the Forest Corporation or Jowley, the recipient.Alex's mind was tense, and at that moment, Jowley nodded, "Yes, I immediately sent it to the technical department upon receiving it, and the result is that it's just a regular USD."Hearing this, Alex felt somewhat relieved. He then asked further, "Have you checked its content?""Yes, and that's why I had to contact you immediately."Judging from Jowley's demeanor, Alex could already guess that the recording must be damaging to him, but he remained calm and listened to Jowley's explanation."Inside the USD, there's a rec
Alex and Isabel waited outside; although it was now night, the number of emergency patients at the hospital did not decrease, and countless people were brought in and out."They won't let us in?" Alex asks; he is afraid she will be frightened and cry if she gets hurt without a loved one."No, they said we wait here because the inside of the emergency room is also overcrowded and cannot accommodate any more family members," Isabel replied. Then she turned, and when she saw Alex's concern, she couldn't help but sigh."Actually… Cherry won't cry before you don't know, she was abused by her biological mother a lot, and every time she cried, she would be beaten even worse or kicked out of the house, locked in the hallway or balcony. That's why she didn't dare to cry anymore. She didn't dare to cry; she was afraid that if she cried, her mother would be angry, she would hate her more, and she would be beaten even worse and even get kicked out. So no matter how much pain she gets in the futur
