Alex looked at Bettie with a cold, seemingly emotionless face and said, "Let's go inside and talk."Upon hearing that, Bettie's shoulders trembled slightly. She was naturally scared. She was afraid that Alex would hate her, worried he would kick her out, and what would she do if Mr Anderson found out about this? He was the one who had raised her, the one she loved and trusted the most. If he knew about this, he would surely be furious and disappointed, and of course, Bettie didn't want that to happen. What if she was kicked out of the Anderson house? She would have nowhere to go, and worst of all, she would blame and torment herself to death.And since Alex left, Bettie had been tormenting herself a lot. She regretted doing what she did out of jealousy. What would she do if something happened to Alex? Bettie didn't know anymore. One day she seemed like the most extended period for her.Alex had entered the house first, and Bettie followed behind him. Inside the living room, Alex took
Jowley didn't know why Alex wanted to meet Chief of Police Jayce, but it was Alex's order, so he followed. Jowley's working principle was that if the boss said something, he would only ask a few questions."Yes, I remember," Jowley said and left.Alex thought it would probably be around noon or the afternoon before Jowley could arrive. After all, there were many things to handle at the police station, and Jayce was only sometimes available. However, to Alex's surprise, just about thirty minutes later, the receptionist called and informed him that Jayce had arrived. Alex was slightly taken aback.And not even five minutes later, Jayce was in Alex's office."You're back already? It's fortunate that you're safe and have accomplished what you wanted to do. I wanted to contact you and ask how you were since yesterday, but your assistant said you were resting, so I didn't disturb you."As soon as Jayce entered Alex's office, he spoke with a face unable to hide his joy. Seeing everyone carin
"Yes, I know," Jowley said, immediately leaving to carry out the task.Although surveillance was an outdated plan, and the bed seemed easy to detect, it was still a timeless option and ranked among the most effective choices.That's why Alex still wanted to choose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
Listening to Isabel's tone, this seemed like a not-too-serious matter, but Alex was curious about what he needed to know. "Go ahead and tell me.""Today, when I was talking to my girlfriends, I overheard some news." Isabel's tone dropped, revealing a gossip-like demeanour. This made Alex burst into laughter."I heard that today, at the nursing home, someone used the money to bribe the staff, and that money turned out to be counterfeit."Isabel's tone was playful, but it carried a different sound to Alex's ears. Hearing the mention of a nursing home, he immediately thought of someone, and as if prompted by some force, he immediately asked, "Do you know the name of that woman?"Isabel, perhaps surprised by Alex's sudden interest and questioning about a matter that wasn't his own, fell silent for a moment as if pondering the issue he brought up. After a while, she replied, "I don't remember the name, but I heard my friend say her last name was Andrew or something like that."Andrew... Mr
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
"Surveillance, huh?" Jowley exclaimed in astonishment, realizing that Alex had asked him to buy an old car for this purpose.Alex nodded."That's right. I waited outside the Blacklabell casino for a while and saw Loki driving out. I followed him from there. I saw him go to a woman's house, and it wasn't an affair because I had suspected that before and confirmed it. He went there for a different purpose. And not long after Loki left, I coincidentally passed by that house and overheard a conversation between her and her husband. She had been continuously buying expensive household items, returning them, and paying in cash. Then I followed her to a supermarket and exchanged money she had just returned. And now, I want to verify it."After Alex finished speaking, he pushed the money towards Jowley. Jowley, who now understood, immediately took it and said,"I understand. I will immediately verify it and inform you of the results as soon as possible.""Okay."Jowley left, leaving only Isab
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
The question from the salesperson caught Isabel off guard, and her mouth froze like someone struck by the wind. On the contrary, Alex appeared utterly calm and composed as he replied, "That's right, both of us. I'm buying clothes for both my parents and grandparents.""Oh, yes, please come in. We just received some new arrivals," the salesperson said.After speaking, the salesperson enthusiastically invited Alex and Isabel inside. Alex eagerly followed her, while Isabel felt a bit... different. The salesperson immediately presented various dresses, cardigans, shirts, pants, shoes, bags, and accessories for middle-aged individuals. Alex looked them over, and it was confirmed that he had experience selecting women's clothing. With whatever money he had in the past, he would always spend it on buying clothes for Jessica, Mrs. Andrew, and Mr. Andrew. So, when it came to middle-aged fashion, he was even more knowledgeable than contemporary youth fashion.Alex picked out a few outfits and t
