Alex looked at Acene, his gaze truly unlike that of a swindler or a liar. However, Acene still felt uncertain when he looked at Alex's not-so-luxurious house, which wasn't exactly a mansion but also not the dwelling of a wealthy person. This made him even more suspicious and cautious. Of course, while Alex was materialistic and flashy, he wasn't reckless to the extent of doing anything illegal or morally wrong. Indeed, with Acene's current thoughts, he believed that Alex was trying to tempt him into committing a legal violation, no less."I won't engage in illegal activities or go against my conscience," he declared.With that said, he shrugged off Alex's hand and turned to leave. Alex anticipated this, as he didn't hold him back like before. Instead, he casually put his hands in his pockets and watched Acene walk away with the box of goods."My work is legal, and I won't compromise my morals. I need you to get me a bill from your girlfriend's place," Alex's words hit Acene like a thu
Jowley continued slowly, “I also visited the slum area for investigation, and specifically, I also questioned Tom Holland.” At this point, Jowley paused briefly, recalling the scene from a few days ago.To get information about Jinny, it was relatively easy for Jowley. He can assign the task to his team and ensure accuracy by checking her background and asking about the people who have lived with her since childhood. In reality, older adults and neighbors were among the most reliable sources of information.However, for Henry’s plan, Jowley took it upon himself to investigate. When he arrived at the slum area, he didn’t draw too much attention. Jowley chose a simple outfit like that of a construction worker, then followed a worker’s vehicle to the slum area.Although people here recognized him, they all remained silent upon his arrival. Later, Jowley wandered around the slum area until he spotted Tom Holland. He looked at him, and Tom also noticed Jowley looking at him. Tom had known J
“Yes, I remember. If there are any additional details, I will notify you immediately.” Tom Holland replied that although he still did not fully understand the matter, he had felt its seriousness.After finishing, Jowley hung up the phone, then immediately contacted Alex.After Alex and Isabel finished listening, they both fell into deep thought. At this moment, both he and she had the same thought, which was to think of a solution to this problem. Henry, it’s true that he’s reached the stage where he dares to do anything. Taking the life of an innocent child to defeat an opponent, his actions are too cowardly, not even a businessman, but even worthy of an ordinary man he could not do. .And Alex, of course, can never let this happen. He loves the children in the slums like his own, and the important thing is that this is a matter for adults. Children are inherently unrelated, to do business. Depending on another person is a serious crime, let alone a child. That crime is even more ser
That woman was none other than Jinny. Jinny leaned against the wall, deliberately showing off the sexiest curves on her body. Although she is neither tall nor skinny, it is that plumpness that creates Jinny’s certain charm, as her breasts and butt are both extremely plump.Seeing that her lover had arrived, Jinny was extremely excited. She quickly moved aside.“Go inside.”As for Acene now, when he saw Jinny, his heart was complicated. He’s already agreed to Alex’s deal, but he doesn’t know if he’s doing it too badly. But it’s just an invoice, Acene thought. Jinny has already made a purchase, so why does he need to keep the invoice? Although Acene did not know what Alex’s purpose in this matter was, he also did not know why he would spend such a large amount of money just to get a bill. But in Acene’s opinion, this must not have been a big deal.Thinking that, he also felt relieved. He entered Jinny’s house and looked around.The apartment where Jinny lives is not too big, just mid-ra
Alex and Isabel’s eyes simultaneously fell on the bill in Acene’s hand. In that moment, Alex’s mind whispered to him, “It’s done, just like that.”He remained calm, smiled, and then took the bill from Acene’s hand, saying, “Well done. I didn’t expect you to complete this so quickly...”As for Acene, his mind was far from Alex’s compliments or his off-topic stories. He was panting, his eyes constantly darting around in fear that Jinny might have noticed, and started pursuing him. He couldn’t pinpoint exactly what he was afraid of, perhaps because it was his first time doing something illicit, and fear had taken over. All he wanted now was for Alex to fulfill their deal quickly, give him the money as promised, and arrange a job in another city so he could get there before daylight.When Alex looked into Acene’s eyes, he could partly understand the panic in his mind. Alex had already prepared the cash and instructed his associates to arrange another job for Acene in a distant city. Even
Jinny groggily opened her eyes, and the first thing she unconsciously did was to look around to find the person who had been lying next to her. But of course, there was no one there. It was only then that Jinny became aware and slowly woke up.She glanced around her house; the lights had been turned on since when, and not only was Acene missing, but his clothes were also gone.Initially, Jinny thought that Acene had gotten up to get some water or had gone somewhere within her house. So, she sat up and called out in a playful tone,“Acene, where are you?”But, of course, there was no response.Now, Jinny still thought that maybe Acene couldn’t hear her, so she called out a few more times,“Acene?” “Acene?”And naturally, no one replied.It was at this moment that Jinny realized something was amiss. She got out of bed, didn’t bother putting on any clothes, and stepped outside.The living room was empty, and the bathroom and kitchen were no exception.He had disappeared without a trace.
After receiving the information from Acene, Jinny hastily dressed and went outside to find the invoice. However, the moment she opened the door, it was also the moment the garbage truck from the environmental company drove away.Jinny widened her eyes, feeling like a rock had just hit her head. Reacting instinctively, she chased after the garbage truck and shouted desperately, “Wait, wait, hold on for me!”She chased after the garbage truck like someone running after a bus, but even in such a quiet and soundless night, the environmental transport vehicle somehow managed to not hear her desperate calls and kept on driving.As far as Jinny knew, this was the city’s last garbage collection point, and now that truck would go to the waste disposal facility. This was a disaster. Jinny buried her head in her hands and screamed.She sat down in the middle of the road in despair. But at least, by now, she was alert enough to realize that she couldn’t handle everything on her own right now; she
“You... why do you let your chaos affect others? Can’t you go a day without doing it? Why do you keep bringing strangers home? You could have gone to a hotel. What if he’s a spy or a cop? Do you realize you’re bringing a wolf home? Why are you so naïve?”Rihana seemed on the verge of losing it. Things weren’t complicated enough, and Jinny continued to create more problems like this. She was truly going baffling. This time, it was a bill, but who knew what it would be next?Moreover, why would her one-night stand, Jinny’s fling, take a bill with him? Okay, let’s not think too negatively. Rihana thought that he probably just saw the bill as a piece of paper and took it with no ulterior motive. Hopefully.Nevertheless, the urgent matter now was to find that bill, because if it was lost, they would have to pay a considerable sum as compensation.No matter how angry Rihana was, she still regarded Jinny as her little sister. That’s why she couldn’t abandon her.Rihana sighed, then said, “Al
