Over the past years, she may not have stopped hoping.

As for Alex, he clearly understands Isabel's current emotions, but he cannot reciprocate her feelings. Therefore, even though he doesn't want to hurt her, he cannot be gentle with her. Being tender and considerate might lead her on, making her continue to hope and unable to let go.

That's why he has to appear indifferent, not knowing or understanding her feelings. He hopes that she will realize this and free herself quickly.

"Alright, let's go inside and have a meal, don't keep everyone waiting."

The next day, Alex went to the company as usual, and Jowley had brought him some information about the houses he had earned and the profiles of all the children at the orphanage.

In the private meeting room, Alex sat at the top position, with Isabel and Jowley beside him.

First, Alex reviewed the houses that Jowley had found for him. His criteria for choosing a home were that the sellers must have a good history and a clean background.

    What Jowley said was incredibly reasonable and agreeable, which also helped Isabel understand and be convinced. This was precisely what Alex intended."I asked Police Chief Jayce to create a fake identity for us, and Jowley, please help me use that fake identity to adopt Cherry. As for the house purchase, you can assist me in setting up a meeting with the owner, and I'll deal with them directly. Isabel, have your assistant buy two burner SIM cards and two second-hand phones. We'll use them during the operation. Also, we'll keep using the old car I bought the other day. Isabel, does that sound okay?"Despite being a true heiress, Isabel grew up in abundance and was pampered by her parents. Thus, with this sudden change, Alex feared she might be disadvantaged and struggle to adapt immediately. However, he couldn't find anyone more suitable than her.On the other hand, Isabel had a contrasting thought; she was excited, yes, genuinely excited. She realized that her current thinking was in

    Jessica was deeply shocked by what Isabel said, feeling angry and embarrassed. However, she tried to hide the embarrassment deep inside, pretending it didn't exist and that she had nothing to be ashamed of."Why do you know about this? Why..." Jessica blurted out her thoughts; as soon as she realized it, it was too late. She was angry and surprised that Isabel knew this information and used it to mock her. And she couldn't understand why Isabel knew about it in the first place.What kind of situation was this?Her questioning words confirmed the truth and revealed her genuine emotions. So she quickly shut her mouth, gritted her teeth, and decided she would not sign this contract."Why should I know about it? This is something you should have known, right? Why are you asking me? Alright, Jessica, will you sign the contract or not? I'm asking you again," Isabel said.Jessica's heart was pounding, fast and strong. Her hands and feet were cold, trembling. She looked at the person in front

    "My children and I have been living here for decades and feel very safe in this area. The neighbors are friendly, and amenities are nearby, close enough. In general, it's well-equipped. Despite the recent influx of young people moving here, I haven't noticed anything like theft, traffic hazards, noise pollution, etc. The young ones living here are also peaceful, with a school nearby. They can play in front of the house without any kidnapping incidents.""Yes, so are there regular police patrols in this area?" Alex asked. In his opinion, Loki is still a particular suspect on the police's radar, so it would be expected for the police to be present in this area if he made any suspicious moves and was put under special surveillance. However, if there were regular police patrols and Loki still acted casually, it could indicate that he had some cover.They didn't rule out the possibility that undercover investigators might be disguised as civilians to avoid suspicion. But Alex still asked t

    "Yes, Dad." The little girl was very obedient, only responding with "yes" and didn't express any opinions.Cherry still seemed reserved towards Alex and Isabel, which might be good. It meant she would listen to both of them. On the other hand, it might not be so good if she didn't open her heart to them, as it wouldn't be beneficial for any foster parent and certainly not for the little girl. But no matter what... everything was just pretended.After a five-minute drive, Alex, Isabel, and Cherry arrived at their new home."We're here. This will be our new home from now on." Alex said after parking the car in front of the house. He turned to look at Cherry, who was still hugging her teddy bear tightly. Her eyes were filled with emotions as she looked at the home. Her innocent eyes stared at the house, taking in its image, but there was a tinge of sadness and worry.Looking at Cherry, Alex suddenly remembered himself. He had a home and a father and was not abandoned, not orphaned. Yet,

    "Oh." Indeed, only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches. A profession that seemed stable, but not so. And how did the massive debts lead Rihana down the wrong path?This information was beneficial to Alex. He thanked Jowley and said, "I appreciate the information. I already know what I needed.""So, how has your day been? What are your plans for the future?" Jowley inquired."Nothing special happened today, but you know, I met Mr. Boland, the husband of the woman I'm targeting. In the coming days, I'll start approaching their family." Alex briefly shared his plan with Jowley without going into too much detail, as he had yet to figure out the specifics. He intended to adapt as events unfolded because some things couldn't be controlled."Understood. If anything comes up, just let me know, and I'll handle it for you.""Thanks, I appreciate it. Please help me coordinate the company and stabilize the commercial center project while I'm away. Spread the rumor about Isabel and me being on

    "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

    After everything was settled, Alex brought immense joy to the hospital where Isabel was resting. From now on, Cherry had become his child, a member of this small family, and now he only needed one more vital piece to have a perfect family. His future wife lay right here.Alex arrived at the hospital in the middle of the night, and Isabel’s room was already empty. Her family had left; they were all exhausted after days of tense waiting at the hospital. That gave him the opportunity to have some private time with Isabel. He approached her bedside, gently caressing her smooth cheek, and his eyes became moist.It was uncertain whether it was because the act of pretending to be a family for these days was too real or if it was the love that had been quietly growing over the years, but Alex felt his emotions surging intensely. It seemed like within his heart, emotions were erupting in waves, encompassing deep longing and painful sorrow. If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t be here, and the p

    The news of Isabel’s injury had spread to the surrounding people. It wasn’t just Isabel’s parents; it included the Locke family, Alex’s relatives, and even the residents of the impoverished neighborhood.Because they couldn’t reach Isabel, they sent flowers, gifts, words of encouragement, and even money to Alex. Alex expressed they didn’t need to send these things; he could easily handle Isabel’s medical bills.However, it wasn’t just about the material support; it was also about the gratitude of all the people he had helped.A few nights later, Alex received a roughly designed invitation card to a party in the slum area.Unwillingly, these people were here to survive, and yet they organized a party to thank him. Alex didn’t really want to go, but after some thought, he realized he was the guest of honor at this party, and he couldn’t disappoint them. Alex dressed neatly for the occasion and tried to boost his spirits before visiting Isabel in the hospital. He sat by her side for a wh

However, deep down, she was extremely concerned.Since that meeting, Jessica diligently tried to gather information about Alex’s company. Finally, she realized that what Henry had said seemed to be entirely true. Jessica felt an urge to help Alex, as the dream project of his island resort was facing serious problems. Irregularities had halted the construction. With abundant resources at her disposal, Jessica was eager to assist Alex.This was also an opportunity to nurture their relationship.With a heart full of excitement, Jessica visited Alex.

    After all the exhausting work, Alex and Isabel officially gave up their assumed impoverished identities. Both of them changed into new attire and returned to Alex’s mansion. Isabel stayed with him temporarily for convenience in handling their work, and little Cherry still needed a small family.Initially, they had discussed that after finishing their tasks, they would take Cherry back to the orphanage. After all, they were both busy adults with no capability to fully care for a child. If so, leaving Cherry in the orphanage was the right choice, as she could find a new home there. They would also do their best to find suitable caregivers for her and seek a comfortable family.But after a while of living together, both Alex and Isabel developed feelings for the adorable child. They didn’t want to send Cherry back to the orphanage, but they couldn’t have her around either. In the end, they weren’t adults who could meet all the psychological needs of a child.

    Rihana quickly untied Alex, ignoring Loki’s suffering nearby. Alex thanked her and grabbed a gun that was out of ammunition, directing a disdainful look at Loki. He approached and stomped on Loki’s bleeding wound, as an act of vengeance for what had just happened. Alex wasn’t one to hold back or forgive easily.“Tend to his wound. Don’t let him die,” Alex ordered, looking sternly at Rihana. Under Alex’s firm gaze, Rihana went closer to Loki, ignoring his threats and insults. She efficiently tore a piece of cloth from her own clothing, carefully covering the wound to stop the bleeding. Loki’s face turned even paler, and he could do nothing but mumble in pain.Meanwhile, the sound of approaching police sirens grew louder. Loki looked at Alex with suspicion. He couldn’t find his phone; it was no longer with him. He wondered how the police had been called. Were they in on this from the beginning? When had things spiraled so out of control?Failing to properly investigate Alex was a grave

    Loki doesn’t want to say much to this guy. He didn’t care about the reason anymore. All that he had investigated was enough to send this guy back to hell.Loki is sure that even if he pulled out a gun and blew his brains out, this guy wouldn’t say a word.But thinking that in the future the chairman might lose a lot of information because of this, Loki had to patiently ask a few more questions.“What is your real name? Don’t cross me. I have to spend so much time and effort because of you, be a little more reasonable, otherwise I will explode your brains.”“Even if I say it, you still can’t determine what is the truth, right? If I tell the truth, will you let me go?”“Okay, if it’s important, you’ll get out of here alive.”Alex almost burst out laughing for a moment. With that look in his eyes that only has murderous intent, who else is he trying to fool? Let him live. He is not a three-year-old child.Alex kept spinning his brain, thinking about how to get out of this situation. It w

    “Could you please total these items?”In the morning, at a convenience store, Alex was waving his hand to pay for some essential items, all of them ingredients for baking. He wanted to bring them home for little Cherry because she had a baking competition coming up at school, and he wanted her to practice at home.While waiting to pay, a few young men behind him were engaged in a heated discussion. He typically wouldn’t have paid much attention to the conversation of strangers, but he overheard the name Locke. Recently, they had been a hot topic of discussion everywhere. Alex waited for the cashier to prepare his bill while quietly eavesdropping.“Oh my God, three more people died at the funeral yesterday. This family is in chaos.”“Have you read those conspiracy theories and rumors online? They all claim that some underground power is involved. It seems this family has offended some terrifying figure, so they’ll be wiped out eventually.”“Say what you will, but the police still haven

  • Chapter 143: No one could save them now.

    The night had fallen, and the members of the Locke family had quietly returned. Only Jack’s parents remained at the funeral home, standing vigil by their son’s casket. Mr. Andrew and Jessica had left early, and by the end of the day, Mr. Andrew finally felt a sense of relief. He didn’t know where his wife was, but her absence was the best outcome for all.Because of the recent pressures, Jack’s father was also exhausted from the events. He wanted to temporarily escape the stifling atmosphere of this place. However, he was reluctant to move too far, fearing that his wife might faint again. Mr. Andrew stepped out to the back of the funeral home, walking along a dark row of trees. It was past 11 o’clock, and he saw no one in this chilly, desolate forest.The unusually quiet woods made his already troubled mind even more restless. This was a resting place for many departed souls, and every rustling sound made Mr. Andrew uneasy.A funeral for two. Was this the punishment meant for the Lock

  • Chapter 142: Mrs. Andrew felt remorse.

    Henry’s burning gaze swept over Jessica, like a hunter locking onto his prey within shooting range. It was a look that combined both passion and possessiveness, making Jessica unable to shake off the feeling that this man was truly disturbed.Because disgust stemmed from instinct, she retreated heavily from the funeral room of this grandfather and grandson’s household. She felt that what she had told Jack’s mother earlier was indeed accurate.The complete house reeked of an unsettling odor.That room, in particular, had seen countless distant relatives of the family mocking her, each taking their turn to degrade each other for entertainment, only to now act meek and change their attitudes, presenting their most humble appearances to make amends for the past wrongdoings.Outwardly, everyone’s demeanor was, of course, pleasant. Jessica had lived long enough to know who was sincere among those in the upper class. She was wary of the apparent remorse and repentance, as it all reeked stron
