The Secret Billionaire in Disguise

CHAPTER 8: ALEX ROBERT

Is that all settled then?" Sophia Hughes couldn't believe how smoothly things had been resolved.

"I spoke to them reasonably, and they understood," Daniel replied confidently.

"Speaking reasonably? But different people require different approaches," Daniel explained patiently. He knew that although Sophia controlled the entire company, she lacked experience in this area. "Some people will listen to reason, while others will only respond to force. For those people, you need to use force first before they will listen to reason."

"However, there may be people who are truly in dire straits. Although they may be physically healthy, their families may be in desperate need of money. So before doing a good deed, you need to investigate carefully. Otherwise, you may be taken advantage of and end up being seen as a fool. Although I don't care about the money, those who truly need it may lose their last bit of hope."

Sophia nodded repeatedly. No one had ever explained these things to her before.

"Oh, by the way, you..." She was about to ask about Daniel’s background, but the office door opened.

"Come in. " Daniel said calmly. She realized that he had become the dominant figure between them, but she didn't feel any resentment. She had worked so hard because she had no one to rely on. The door was carefully opened, probably because they were worried about what they might find inside the office. After making sure everything was normal, a beautiful secretary walked in and said, "Boss, I've found out what you asked me to investigate. Only three of those people are short of money.

Two of them have relatives who need medical treatment, and the other one..." She paused, looking at Daniel hesitantly, as if unsure whether to say it or not. Having worked with the boss to bring the company to its current level, she had never seen Sophia stare at Daniel with love, let alone pet him like a cat as she was doing now.

"What about the last one?"

Sophia was puzzled but didn't want to disturb Daniel's comfortable massage.

When did this guy learn how to do this?

The beautiful secretary fell silent.

"Speak up," Daniel’s hands didn't stop, but his gaze swept over her calmly.

The secretary suddenly felt her heart skip a beat as if she were being stared at by a fierce beast. She answered subconsciously, "The last one is related to Mr. Dan..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt it was wrong and covered her mouth. But the scene of Sophia angrily scolding her that she had imagined did not happen.

Sophia just responded calmly.

Although Daniel had hidden his identity, they had been together for five years, and she was familiar with some of Daniel’s habits.

On the day of their marriage, she had originally planned to make it a good thing for her grandfather, but Daniel had asked to sleep in separate rooms before she could even speak, making her feel queasy.

Later, she became angry and embarrassed, and combined with the behavior of Daniel and his useless friends, it eventually led to their relationship becoming like strangers. Daniel had been too well-behaved for the past

Five years later, he didn't seem like the man he was portraying now.

"Tell me more," Daniel didn't have any special reaction, he wasn't guilty at all. In fact, because of what happened before, his current situation was quite special. He had a normal reaction, but for some reason, he was very stable. "The name of the third person is Alex Robert, and he has a daughter named Violet..." Before she finished, Daniel interrupted her with an ugly expression, "What did you say that man's name was?"

"Alex Robert...?" The secretary didn't expect this name to cause such a big reaction from Daniel and hesitated. If Daniel cared about Violet, it would be understandable, but how did he notice this big man? Could it be…

Daniel was surprised to see The secretary’s

head banging as if he was hit like a truck "Do you know him?" The secretary saw the surprised looks on their faces and forcibly suppressed her excitement. She never thought that Daniel would be this kind of person! Can you face her with this kind of behavior? "I do know him, but you only need to deal with those two families. Remember not to skimp on the treatment and strive for the best. If Jeffery wants to play tricks, make him pay for it." Daniel was still a little curious about the secretary’s behavior, but his wife was beside him, so he didn't look too much.

"What?

Didn't you say to make him squat in there directly?" The secretary was confused. All of these things were told to her by outsiders.

"I was trying to get him scared. He hasn't done anything wrong, and given his situation, squatting in there might help him," Daniel shook his head. If he guessed correctly, all of Jeffery’s people were almost ruined by small loans. Those small companies might not even last a year or two.

So if Jeffery went in for a few years, he might come out better off.

"Okay,"

The secretary turned her head and saw the cute and lazy Sophia had nothing to say, so she quickly agreed.

"I will handle Alex Robert myself," He looked at the secretary as she was staring at him like some sort of beast.

Daniel’s face immediately turned black.

So in her heart, I'm just that kind of person?!

But it was normal, since Sophia took over the company the secretary has been the one accompanying her, and could be considered her right-hand man. So her attitude towards Daniel was very contemptuous, not disgust, just pure contempt as a woman towards a man.

A man who did nothing and just watched his wife face hardships. If she had a husband like that, she wouldn't be able to stand it for two days, let alone five years!

She would have kicked him out a long time

ago!

But she didn't know that every time the company was on the verge of collapse, which force had been secretly supporting it behind the scenes, breaking countless greedy hands that reached out in the dark, just to keep this company, which should have gone bankrupt, thriving in Sophia’s hands.

She naturally had no idea who the black-clothed person was, who had rescued her unscathed from the kidnapper's clutches three years ago, but had been shot himself.

She left, and Daniel was about to explain the situation to Sophia, but Sophia had fallen asleep at some point, occasionally murmuring cutely in her sleep.

Daniel had never seen her like this before and felt like his heart had melted.

At this moment, Sophia seemed like a sweet sleeping kitten in her owner's arms.

Cute and charming.

Daniel continued to pat her head like was patting a cat, while suddenly taking out a Bluetooth earphone from his pocket with the other.

It was completely black, and he couldn't tell who the manufacturer was, only feeling its cold texture and a faint dragon pattern that seemed to be looming. He looked at the sleeping Sophia, brought the Bluetooth closer to his mouth, and spoke softly,

"Help me find out who was responsible for handling Alex Robert's case back then."
