Ch. 1521..1530
Chapter 1521 Noah’s wrists were covered in severe wounds.
Jane held Noah’s arms with both of her hands and asked in tears, “Noah, you...what happened to you?” Noah’s mother rushed over, crying. “My son, what happened to you? Who hit you?” Noah smiled instead. “Mom! We’ve been setup. Both you and Jane should run away as far as you can go.” “No...” “Who was it who beat you up so badly?” Jane cried.
Noah shook his head. “We’re no match for them, Jane. I’m fine. Take my mother with you and go far away. Don’t have any forms of interactions with Alex from now on, and don’t trust him ever again.
Listen to me. Take my mother and run. Go as far as you can.” “No...,” Jane roared with all her might.
At that moment, a few people swarmed in and they indiscriminately turned the restaurant upside down.
They had found a bag substance from an unknown location. The substance was very white and it was in powder form.
It was the same cheesy old man from yesterday that came to the front of Noah. “Hill, you’re indeed dishonest! Let’s see how you can still deny it with this evidence! Let’s go. I’ll hand you to the police now! ” Noah struggled with all his might. “I’ll go to the police myself! ” The cheesy old man snorted coldly. “That’s not up to you!” After saying that, he then let a few people drag Noah straight into the car.
Jane shouted behind him. “Noah! ” 2 She supported the old lady by arm and followed behind Noah till the entrance of the restaurant. There was not even a single onlooker outside of the restaurant.
Lily, who was standing by her car and was preparing to get it, sneered and looked at Jane. “B*tch! Do you know how far my husband, Alex’s, power can reach? He can’t touch South City, but there isn’t a place in the entire northern region that Alex can’t control! Do you think you still have hope in going against me here at this place? ” Lily was very clear with the intentions.
On that day, at that place, Lily was simply the local tyrant.
Jane glanced at Lily with despair, but she could no longer be bothered to say anything to Lily, let alone ask her for those ten million dollars. All of Jane’s energy was on Noah at that moment. She just wanted to save the man she loved the most. Jane had a sense of foreboding for some reason, she just felt that things most probably would not end well for Noah on that day.
Jane suddenly pushed Lily away, and immediately after that, she violently attacked Lily with a headbutt.
Lily fell on the pavement. She was in intense pain as she fell on the concrete floor.
Lily wailed in pain. “Ouch!” The group of subordinates, who were fawning over Lily, immediately gathered around here. Even Cindy also came over. “Mrs Poole, are you alright?” Jane hurriedly helped the old lady into Lily’s car. She did not even bother closing the car door properly, she just started the engine and sped off.
Lily shouted after her. “My car! You d*mned woman! You truly are tired of living! My car! ” She ordered her subordinates. “Go after her!” The three cars speed off with one tailing behind another. Lily was tightly tailing Jane’s car, and Jane was tightly tailing the car in front that had Noah on it. That car in front just gradually drove towards the remote mountains area. After driving more than two hours, that car stopped when the night had just fallen.
Noah was then dragged out of the car. Jane stumbled and followed Noah. Just as they were about to get closer to Noah, they saw that one of the men had already pointed his black weapon at Noah’s temple. Jane cried out in despair. “No! ”
Chapter 1522 “Noah, Noah, why would they do this to you?” Jane, who was pregnant, wanted to rush to Noah’s side but was stopped by someone.
Lily, who had followed Jane, immediately rushed over.
She jumped in between Noah and Jane, looking condescendingly at the two of them like a wicked witch. “Noah, I’ll give you a chance to live now, do you want it?” Noah had long been so frightened that both his legs were trembling. Hearing Lily say that, he nodded his head desperately. “Yes, yes! of course! As long as Miss Lily can spare my life, we will never go to Kidon City again in our lives. We will never disturb you and Mr Poole. Please, Miss Lily, I beg you to spare my lowly life.” Lily smiled. “I can spare your life. Am I not given the chance now? As long as you’re willing to obey my words, not only will I spare you, but I will even let you go to Kidon City. Perhaps I can even give you glory and wealth in the future.” Noah immediately nodded. “Go ahead, tell me. I will do anything as long as it's within my ability.
Even if you asked me to kneel and learn how a dog barks, I will also learn to do so.” At that moment, Noah had no dignity at all. He did not need dignity, let alone integrity.
He had an aged mother, and a pregnant wife to support. He could not die. He could not afford to die! As long as he could live, let alone learn how a dog bark, he was also even willing to eat feces.
Noah just looked at Lily with his eyes widened. Lily smirked. “Good. Very good! This is the deep forest, so nobody will film you and no one will get any evidence of you. Now, at this place, strip this pregnant woman, and then tie her up on the tree. I want you to watch with your own eyes and let all the men have their way with her one after another. Remember, I want you to watch.
After they are done with her, you have to get rid of the child in her belly with your foot. I’m telling you now that this is Alex’s intention, otherwise, do you think Alex would spare you? Although Alex no longer wants this rotten woman now, he also would not allow himself to be cuckolded. If you have done so today, then it would be your atonement to Alex. Then, I can guarantee that you can go to Kidon City in the future.” Lily’s words were spoken with incomparable calmness, but from what Noah had heard, it was no different from the devil’s.
“What do you think? This is quite a good deal for you, right?” Lily looked at Noah, smiling. At that moment, she was thinking in her heart that if Noah truly did as she was told, she really would spare him. she just wanted Jane to be in pain. It would be fine as long as Jane was not loved.
However, Noah closed his eyes and said resolutely, “ Just kill me!” Jane shouted in tears. “No!” Frantic, she grabbed Lily. “Miss Lily, kill me instead, alright?” Lily had a hideous smile on her face. “Your life doesn’t belong to me. It belongs to... Cindy.” Lily then turned her head and looked at Noah again. “ Have you thought it through, Mr Hill?” Noah did not answer Lily, but he simply looked at Jane. “Jane, listen to me! ” 1 Jane nodded her head vigorously. “I’m listening, Noah.” “From now on, don’t cry anymore! We are poor, but we also have the right to live! The more you cry, the more Lily would laugh at you. You don ’t j ust have one life, but you’re carrying two lives in a body instead. Take my mother and escape from her now. As long as you escape from here, I may have a chance to live. I have thought about it. Even if I were to do as this woman says, she would still not let me go. It would be great if one of US can escape. Take my mother and leave first, then call the police and get someone to save me. Hurry up and leave, Jane.” 2 Noah truly wanted to live, but he had also thought it through. No matter what he was to do, Lily would not let him go.
Jane shook her head. “Noah, I will stay here. I’ll let you leave.”
Chapter 1523 “Didn't you hear? Lily doesn't want you. she only wants me to die! Quickly leave and think of a way to save me. Remember that you must protect the baby in your belly, and protect my mother.
Hurry up and leave! It would be great if one of US can be saved! Mom, I’m very sorry. Don’t feel heartbroken for me. This is simply my fate. Quickly escape, Mom...” In this life-and-death situation, the most devastated person was Noah’s aged mother. The old lady was already seventy years old, so how could she bear to watch her son be beaten to death? However, it was because she was already that old that she had already seen all sorts of world affairs. Therefore, at that moment, she suddenly smiled calmly instead. “I want to die together with you. Don’t abandon me...” “Take my mother away! Jane, if you love me, take my mother away! ” Noah roared.
At this critical moment, Jane helped the old lady to get into the car with no hesitation. Jane had honed a rather great driving skill in those few years she had been with Alex. She did not care about how badly the old lady was crying, she just drove like a maniac, descending the mountains. “Police, police, I have to call the police!” However, as she drove, Jane heard a muffled sound. That kind of sound was not unfamiliar to Jane. When she was with Alex in the past, Alex had brought her for target shooting before, and that sound was very similar to the sound of target shooting.
The car came to a screeching halt.
Jane’s tears were as if they had been frozen in place. The old lady, who was in the back seat, was also stunned.
The old lady suddenly wailed. “My son! My son! ” She then passed out.
Jane immediately parked the car, opened the door, and ran madly towards Noah’s direction. She then saw a big pool of blood a few meters away from her, as well as the man who was in the middle of it.
“Noah...” Jane wailed so intensely that her voice gave out.
She rushed over and hugged Noah, who was covered in blood. Noah’s eyes were still closed, and Jane was bawling in devastation. “Noah, Noah, Noah...My Noah ...Noah...” 1 She felt more pain than being stabbed in her heart, and she cried inconsolably.
After she was all cried out, she was still hugging Noah, whose body was gradually stiffening, she raised her head and looked at Lily. “Why...why?” Lily sneered. “Woman! I have been waiting for you to ask me that!” Jane gritted her teeth.“why?” Lily smiled very smugly. “Because my man can never be tainted by anybody! Since you have tainted him, I let you live a life worse than death! Worse than death, do you understand?
“Oh no, you still have to experience what it means to be living a life worse than death yet, but you will in a few days, oh, right, this piece of weapon was given to me by my husband. It is also the weapon used for your husband's execution. Do you think it is advanced?” Lily was holding a black weapon and was showing it off in front of Jane.
Jane slowly put Noah down, and then she lunged at Lily. “I’ll fight you to death...” Lily took a step back and let two men restrain Jane. Lily then raised her head and pointed in the direction where Jane’s car was parked just now. “Hey, pregnant lady, look over there.” Jane subconsciously looked at the old lady in the car in an instant, she froze.
Then, she screamed. “Mrs Hill!”
Chapter 1524 There were five people standing next to the car that Jane had driven over. The person standing in the middle was Cindy. They carried the unconscious old lady out of the car before Jane was given a chance to react.
“No...Mrs Hill! Don’t you harm my mother-in-law! ” Jane ran like mad towards the car. 3 “You had already killed her son. what’s the use of a seventy year old elderly woman to you? Let her go, let my mother-in-law go. I will go with you, and you can deal with me as you pleased. Let go of her! ” Behind Jane, Lily gently reminded Jane. “Hey, pregnant lady, don’t worry. We won’t do anything to your mother. Also, I’ll give you my car. Quickly go chase after her.” 1 Jane looked suspiciously at Lily. “What...what do you want to do again?” Lily shrugged. “I had said it before. Noah is mine and you are Cindy’s. I have also said that I won’t take your life.” After saying that, Lily surprisingly turned around and walked off elegantly. Jane, on the other hand, watched as the car drove further and further away. She did not even have the time to time to turn her head and look at Noah’s body, and she just drove like a maniac to chase after Cindy.
Noah had died, and he died for her. If she still could not protect his mother, then could she still be considered a human? Besides, Noah’s mother had loved her so much. Jane was already thirty five years old, but she had never had any motherly love since childhood. Looking back, she has had two different mothers-in-law in the past. The former was the mother of the retarded husband, who treated Jane as a slave every day. The latter was Alex’s mother, and she did not even treat Jane as human. The gaze that Alex’s parents had when looking at Jane was as if she could not compare to the maid at the Poole residence, and she could not even compare to the Poole family’s pets.
The only person who truly treated Jane as a human was her mother-in-law now. other than her, Jane had no other family in the world anymore. Therefore, she had to catch up to her even if she had to pay the price of giving up her own life. Just like what Noah said, if they were to die, then they also have to die together. At that moment, Jane already had no will to live. Rather, she was wholeheartedly wishing for death. She was dead set on catching up to her mother-in- law even if she had to die, and then she would drive back to the place where Noah had died. Then, the family of three, as well as the baby in Jane’s belly could die together.
It was as if Cindy, who was in the car in front, had known Jane’s intentions. Cindy’s car was driven at a steady speed and she just kept Jane in suspense through the whole journey. Jane was focused all the way.
Ironically, Cindy could even chat with Lily on the phone in the car.
“Hello, Mrs Poole, that pregnant woman had already taken the bait, she is now chasing after me and we’re getting further and further away,” said Cindy in an incomparably pleasing tone.
Over on the other end of the line, Lily was also getting more and more excited. “Are you two driving towards your old place?” “Yes, Mrs Poole!” “That’s good. Is everything in order on your end?” Cindy immediately said, “Don’t worry, Mrs Poole. That man is even older than my d*mned husband. I think he is almost sixty-seven years old. That old man was very poor when he was young, so even though his first newly wedded wife was already pregnant with his child, she still ran away with other men.”
Chapter 1525 “Later on, his wife then terminated her pregnancy and lived with that man for a decade. Ten years later, he had successfully risen to prominence. However, when he captured and brought his wife back, she was already almost nine months pregnant with the third child with her then- husband. Ever since then, that old man had had a fetish. He would deliberately look for pregnant women.
“If I were to give Jane to him, she would definitely kill herself, with her temper . Not only that, but she also could kill her baby in her belly.
“Mrs Poole, are you satisfied with my arrangement?” “Haha!” Lily laughed incredibly comfortably, she praised Cindy, “Miss Miller, don’t worry. I will definitely take note of your credit in my husband’s books. I’m calling the shots now. From now on, the grudge between you and my husband is not written off.” 1 “Mm-hmm.” Cindy was very grateful. “Thank you. Thank you very much, Mrs Poole.” “Actually, it's not a big deal, to begin with! ” Lily said frivolously. “It’s just because you wanted to seduce my man back then, but he did not like you. So he had you shut out from the media.
Actually, you were just unlucky. My man only had Jane alone by his side at that time, and he was seduced by that b*tch. On top of that, Jane had complained about you during their pillow talk, so only then did my man send you away to his miserably cold northeastern land. If it were up to my man’s temper, he would not be that petty, of course, he is a little cruel to Jane now, but your situation is different from her. Think about who my man is! He is the most powerful person in Kidon City. Even if he did not want the woman anymore, he also can’t let her be with another man! 1 This was the common domineering problem of men. Therefore, Noah had to die. As for Jane, the more miserable she ended up, the happier my husband would be.” “I know. I understand, Mrs Poole. I will definitely handle it in a way that you’ll be satisfied, and also make Mr Poole even more satisfied.” On the other end of the line, Cindy’s eyes were filled with hope. She was already imagining that in the near future, perhaps in less than a month, she could leave this miserably cold northeastern land, she could then return to Kidon city or South city, and she could even be in the entertainment industry.
Perhaps in the future, she could even be friends with Mr and Mrs Poole. As for how close she could be with them, then that would depend on her following performance.
At this end of the line, Lily spoke to Cindy in a tone as if she was speaking to her pet dog. “Do a good job and you’ll definitely be rewarded.” However, after Lily hung up, she sneered and said in a contemptuous tone, “Bloody fool! Women like you are all bloody fools!” Lily did not put her phone back into her pocket, but she dialed another number after that instead.
The call was picked up very quickly on the other end of the line, and then Jane immediately called out with a sweet voice. “Godmother, the tactics you’ve taught me are truly very useful. You were right. If I want to get rid of the women by Alex’s side, the most important thing is to let the people who liked Alex give up all hope on him. The second thing is to get someone else to do my murders. This way, I will have nothing to do with it. On the other hand, all the people who had once pestered Alex must die.
However, even if Alex were to find out about this matter one day in the future, he also can’t blame it on me...” 1 She smiled. “Godmother, this is too awesome. It’s truly my honor to have known you. Just wait for me at home. I will go and have a short stay at your place when I return, and I will go shopping with you. If I have become Alex’s wife in the future, I will sincerely talk to Alex. I’ll definitely make Alex persuade Sebastian, and let him be nicer to you.” On the other end of the line, Rose smiled calmly. “I’ll give you my blessing and wish that you’ll become Alex’s wife as soon as possible so that those despicable women could not take over the entire high society.” “Yes...oh...” Lily suddenly retched.
“What’s wrong, Lily?” asked Rose.
“I don’t know what’s wrong either. Maybe I’ve eaten someone bad recently. I’ve been having the urge to vomit in the past half a month,” said Lily.
“Have you...and Alex consummated your relationship?” asked Rose.
“Godmother...” Lily truly hoped that was the case, but she did not have the chance to.
Rose asked on the other end of the line, “Why do I feel like you’re pregnant?” Lily was speechless.
Chapter 1526 Pregnant? Lily immediately thought of the one-night stand with Holden two months ago. Both of them had not used any form of protection. However, Lily had never thought that she would get pregnant. It was not until the moment when Rose reminded her that Lily’s heart suddenly sank for a moment.
“I am your godmother, what is there that you can’t tell me?” asked Rose on the other end of the line.
Lily hesitated. “Godmother, I am not feeling very well. Let’s chat another day. I will go and have a short stay at your place in a few days.” After saying that, Lily quickly ended the call without even waiting for Rose’s reply.she put her phone down, and then she raised her gaze to look at the people following her. These people were borrowed by Lily from Axel, of course, she had also roped them in at a high price.
Therefore, at that moment, they were all at Lily’s beck and call.
The leader said respectfully, “Lady, we are now...” “Go back immediately! ” “Back, back to where?” “Kidon City!” She wanted to see Alex immediately. No matter if she was to do it by force, seek help from old Master Poole, or kidnap Alex, Lily had to exhaust all methods to make Alex get married to her.
Not only that, but she also had to use special libido-boosting substances and get Alex drunk to make him sleep with her.
Of course, she could not keep the b*stard in her belly. However, even if it was a miscarriage, she also had to make it worthwhile! If she were to accidentally have a miscarriage a month after she and Alex successfully got married and consummated their marriage, then she could make Alex feel guilt towards her for the rest of his life.
That shall be the plan! Everything was truly too perfect! she thought to herself that even if Alex were to find Jane, she also certainly would never forgive Alex anymore, right?
That was a human life! On top of that, Jane had received all sorts of persecution from Lily.
Even if Jane wanted to forgive Alex, would Alex still want such a woman who was as filthy as the sewers? Impossible! oh! That was truly wonderful!
Lily was practically humming as she got into the car. After that, she said to the driver, “Return to Kidon City!” With a relaxed expression on her face, Lily had completely disregarded whether the body of Noah was exposed in the wilderness or not. In Lily’s eyes, what did a life, not to mention such a lowly life, even mean to her? It could not even be compared to a pet dog in the Poole family.
“Driver! step on it! I have to go back and have a good sleep and then do a proper spa. After that, I will go meet my darling Alex,” Lily ordered the driver.
The driver then sped up home.
At ten o’clock the following morning, they had already arrived at Kidon City. Lily was sleeping soundly in the car. It was as if she had not murdered a person the evening before, when she returned to her home, Lily did not go looking for Alex at once, she knew that she needed to catch up on her sleep. She wanted to get a good night's sleep. After that, she wanted to take a proper shower and do her makeup before going to see Alex. 1 Another day has passed, and Lily had completely dressed herself up as if she was a graceful lady who seldom had any contact with the outside world, she then drove her red sports car to the Poole residence.
“I’m here to look for Mr Poole.” Lily could tell that she was there looking for Alex.
This was because the Poole family’s housekeeper did not let her in.
“Oh... Miss Lily, it’s a bad time for you to come over these couple of days,” said the housekeeper.
“Why...why is that so?” Lily’s heart sank for a moment.
“Don’t you know?” the housekeeper asked in return.
Chapter 1527 Lily immediately asked eagerly, “Regarding what?” “Our old master has been hospitalized after he was angered by Master Alex.” The housekeeper sighed sorrowfully.
He truly did not understand it, what spell had Master Alex been under? Just like that, he had let go of all the power and achievements that he had fought for with his own blood, sweat, and tears. He wanted to give everything away to someone else without any conditions. Never mind if he wanted to give it to someone else. He could have given it to his elder brother. If not, he could have given it to Master Ryan as well, right?
However, Master Alex just did not do so. Alex had power over such a large piece of territory like Kidon City, and he actually just respectfully gave it to South City’s Master Sebastian Ford.
Logically speaking, it was not a big deal either. After all, Master Sebastian and Master Alex had the closest relationship. The maids in the house, as well as those men who had been following Master Alex for years, felt that there was nothing wrong for their master to give all this power in his hands to Master Sebastian from South City.
However, old Master Poole was aggravated. After all, his eldest son had been mediocre all his life, but his grandson, Ryan, was already grown up. Why not give this power to one of their own?
Old Master Poole felt heartbroken for his eldest son and his eldest grandson. Therefore, he was so angered that he ended up being hospitalized. Even though old Master Pool had been hospitalized, he still could not keep his youngest son around. Alex still resolutely went to South City. At that moment, Alex had already spent more than ten days in South city, and he had not returned to visit his old man. 1 The housekeeper sighed. “Miss Lily, our old master usually likes you quite a lot, so you just...” Before he had finished his words, he saw Lily turn around and leave. The main purpose for Lily looking for Old Master Poole was to find Alex. Since Alex was in South City at that moment, it would only be natural for her to go to South City as well. Also, Lily had a sense of foreboding, she felt that something was not right for Alex to step down from all the power he had on hand.
‘Alex was only in his thirties at the moment, which was at the prime of his life, so why would he want to step down? Could it be...because of Jane?’ Thinking of that, the good feeling Lily had when she returned from the northeastern area was completely gone at that moment, she got on a plane on the same day and flew directly to South City, when Lilyarrived at Alex’s summer house halfway up the mountain in South City, she found out that the door was tightly locked instead. Alex was not there at all.
Lily suddenly felt bewildered, and she shuddered in fear, where did Alex go?
At that moment, Alex was at the Ford Group, and he was in the meeting room dedicated to him and Sebastian. Alex and Sebastian had been processing the handover matters for nearly ten days. During the ten days, Alex had finished handing over all of the matters in his hands, and he was actually there that day to bid Sebastian farewell.
Seeing his own blood brother become like this out of a sudden, Sebastian felt an incomparable deal of heartache. He grabbed Alex by the shoulder. “Alex, remember that what is yours will always be yours. Your subordinates and your power would always be yours. That would never change. I am only managing them on your behalf. Those trusted assistants, ministry, as well as your personal bodyguards, are all still yours. I...I hope that one day, you will return once more.” Alex shook his head. “Sebastian, the woman no longer loves me, and the child will never call me dad. What’s the point of me holding on to this glory, they are just mere worldly possessions?” There was a pause before he asked Sebastian with a miserable smile, “Sebastian, guess...if Jane is pregnant with a girl or a boy?” Sebastian was speechless. He did not know how he should answer this blood brother of his.
Alex smiled indifferently instead. “It doesn’t matter if it was a baby boy or baby girl. It would be good if I can secretly take a glance. Once I think that I can be that close to my woman and my child, it would be worth it.” “Alex...” “Stop it, Sebastian. I will never change whatever I’ve decided. I have already been back from the northeastern area for half a month, so I have to go back there immediately. Then, I’ll settle down there,” said Alex.
Just as he finished his words, his phone rang.
Alex then took up his phone and answered it. “Hello, Garrett...how is everything going over there on the northeastern side?” On the other end of the line, Garrett said with a lump in his throat, “Master...something serious had happened.”
Chapter 1528 Alex was stunned for a moment, and then he asked eagerly, “What happened?” Garrett had a catch in his throat. “Madam...no, I mean Miss Jane and her fiance, they are not...in Bay County.” “Where are you now?” Alex asked.
Garrett immediately said, “Master Alex, I followed your orders and came outside of the mansion in Bay County. However, there was no one there. The interiors of the entire mansion seemed like it was ransacked.” Alex asked, “How could this be?” It was actually Sabrina’s idea to let Garrett go to Bay County in advance. Twelve days ago, Alex had locked himself in the Poole residence in Kidon city once he had returned from the northeastern area.
No one knew what he had done all alone in the study for two whole days and nights. He was actually liquidating his assets. Throughout his whole life, he had been fighting hard for his parent’s glory from a young age. He also thought that he could get everything he wanted through his own hard work in this life.
However, the first time he had suffered a blow was being dumped by his first girlfriend. He was still young at that time, so even if he had been dumped by his first girlfriend, he still held on to his faith. He had spent ten years waiting for her to come back to him. Also, not only did he not waste the decade, but his career was also thriving.
He once thought that he only had Lily in his heart.
After he had met Lily in his life, all the other women were nothing to him. There was no need to consider them. To put it bluntly, the reason for him to keep Jane by his side was solely for his physiological needs. Throughout the entire decade, Alex had always thought that he had been relying on the idea of waiting for Lily’s return to support himself. However, after he had kicked Jane out, only then did he realize that he had long been inseparable from Jane. 1 The reason why the past decade of waiting was so easy to endure was that he had Jane. The continuous stream that quietly flowed seemed to have no trace, and it seemed that it had never left a mark in his heart. In fact, it had already hollowed out his heart unconsciously. The succulents that she was growing in that corner of the living room. The spider ivy she had placed on the balcony. That small pot of bell pepper on the kitchen windowsill. Also, the closet was full of shirts that she had ironed for him, how each style should be matched were placed properly. After she had left, his closet turned into a mess. There were countless maids in the house, but none of them could do as she did. she knew and understood him. she also knew how he coordinated his clothes every day. 1 Later on, Alex’s knees suddenly became sore and painful during one cloudy and rainy day. The soreness of his knees had been a recurring issue for many years. It was a condition he obtained after a particular war abroad that he had participated in. Later on, he had seen the military doctor after returning home, but the condition could not be completely eradicated. Lily’s father had taught him a method to manage the condition. He asked Alex to watch the weather forecast, and requested him to sweat it out on a dry and warm place before a rainy day, and then apply hot compression on his knees.
Ever since Jane had started to be with him, all these matters were done by her. In the past eight years, she has been paying attention to the weather forecast at every moment. On every cloudy day before it started to rain, she had always reminded him not to consume too much alcohol, to keep himself warm outside, and also to return home earlier than usual, she would even prepare a small heater to keep his knees warm. She would even personally massage his legs after keeping his knees warm. So much so that, after all these years, he had already forgotten about his condition. However, after she had left for several months, the condition relapsed. 2 These trivial matters in life such as eating, cleaning, the music to be played at home, and even his resting time and sleep quality had turned into a hot mess because of her absence. It was until then that Alex had a profound realization that Jane’s departure had taken everything of him away, what she had left behind for him was just a shell.
Jane’s departure was completely different from Lily’s. Lily only left him brokenhearted when she departed that year, and his heart had already healed over time. However, when Jane left, she had taken everything he had away.
Chapter 1529 All the things that she had silently done for him were irreplaceable by others, what was the use of having more maids at home? They could not put things in place as she did. They could not arrange his closet the way she used to do it.
Most importantly, they could not say to him, “Alex, I love you.” Alex, I love you.
Her shadows seemed to have been nailed in his mind.
It turned out that he had not wasted the past decade because he had waited for Lily. It turned out that he was actually unknowingly enjoying the gentle and silent love that she had given to him during the past ten years. That was why he did not become extremely dispirited in those years.
How many decades could a person get in life? If Jane was not in his life in the future, then what was the meaning of his hard work, glory, power, and his everything?
Therefore, after he had helped Jane settle down in the northeast, he then made a decision. The only purpose for him to be alive in his remaining years was just to watch over the woman he loved and watch his child gradually grow up. Even if the child did not acknowledge him as the father, Alex would be satisfied as long as he could see the child.
Therefore, after he had gotten back from the northeast, the first thing he did was to deal with all of his property. He had left twenty percent of it to his parents. Even if his parents did not need it, that was still his responsibility as their son. He then kept ten percent of his living expenses for the rest of his life, and then he had left all of the remaining seventy percent of his properties to Jane and her child.
After he had made such a distribution, Alex then rushed from Kidon City to South City. He wanted to give all this power in his hands to Sebastian. This was because other than Sebastian, no one else would take over the mattes Alex had on his plate. Therefore, only Sebastian could take over it. Alex would not let Kidon City end up in a hot mess after he had left.
Sebastian had not agreed at first. Later on, Alex repeatedly pleaded with Sebastian, and Sebastian finally agreed to temporarily manage it on Alex’s behalf, whenever Alex wanted to come back, everything in Kidon city would still belong to him. Just as Sebastian and he were officially entering the stage of handing over matters, Sabrina, who had been nursing her babies in her belly, had appeared in front of Alex.
“Have you made the decision to let Jane and that man live a good life together?” Jane asked Alex. 2 Alex smiled miserably. “What else can I do if I don’t decide to do so? she is very happy being together with that man.” Sabrina felt relieved. “You’re truly a man.” After a pause, she asked him, “What is her phone number? Let me have it and I’ll call her and personally ask her.” Phone number? He had not asked for it. Firstly, it was because Jane did not take the initiative to give him. Secondly, he had thought that he would go over soon, so he did not ask her for it.
Sabrina immediately got angry. “You, you’re already back, but you didn’t even ask for her phone number. How do I contact her?” Sabrina cried unexpectedly, she was in the early stages of her pregnancy, so her mood had not been very good. Alex could understand her so he immediately asked Garrett to make a trip to Bay County. Garrett was deliberately sent there to get Jane’s contact information.
However, nobody would have expected that someone had already happened there when Garrett had just arrived at the place.
On the other end of the line, Garrett was choking up. “ Master Alex, I heard from the people here that something serious had happened here a few days ago.”
Chapter 1530 Over on this end of the line, Alex was already incomparably anxious. “Tell me! Is Jane alright?
What exactly happened?” “Master...Madam and her current man had opened a restaurant in Bay County. However, someone had come over to find fault with them right after they had started their business. No...it didn’t seem like they were here to find fault with them. Those people had concrete evidence and said that Madam’s restaurant was involved in some illegal business.” Alex was speechless.
Garrett continued. “Also...also...” “Speak!” said Alex as he flew into a rage. If Garrett was by his side at that moment, he would have beaten him up into a pulp!
“It seemed...like you were the one who gave the order.” “What?” There was a pause before Alex asked with clear articulation, “what the hell is going on?” Garrett said with an awkward tone, “Master, when you...sent me here to Bay County. You had told me that the madam has a slightly better impression of me, and you asked me to tell her that it was Mrs Ford who wanted her contact information. I didn’t bring anybody with me, and I didn’t even bring my identification card. I had tried to inquire from the people here, but their lips were all sealed.” Alex was speechless.
“However, I did hear some information,” Garrett said quickly.
“Tell me!” “There was an old lady who had said ‘I will resolutely not let my daughter be with a man with power. When men like those no longer want you, they truly would exhaust every way to toy with you. Rich and powerful men could have my daughter killed by tricking her.’” Alex frowned, “why would she say that?” Garrett continued, “That old woman also said, ‘If this girl wanted to blame somebody, then she can only blame herself! The man already had a wife, why did you still get involved with such a powerful man? His wife is now here at your door, right?” Alex was stunned.
Garrett asked Alex on the other end of the line, “ Master, say, what do you think that old woman meant? What is this about your wife coming here to their door? You also don’t have a wife?
Could it be?” Garrett was halfway through his words on the other end of the lime. Just when he was about to tell Alex his suspicions, Alex said on this end, “I know! ” 2 Garrett then said, “Master...” “Wait for me there in the northeast. I will come as fast as I can!” Garrett nodded. “Yes, Master!” As Alex ended the call, Sebastian was looking at him with a serious expression. “Alex, what happened?” Alex said solemnly, “I was too careless!” “What?” Alex sneered. “Sebastian, I had always been able to make foolproof arrangements that are also airtight on the battlefield. However, I have failed to do the same in life. I indeed had truly overlooked such willful jealousy. I have never expected that the person I had once loved would actually be this vicious! ” 2 “What exactly happened, Alex?” Sebastian was very worried about this blood brother of his.
Alex shook his head. “Sebastian, I’ll let you handle the matters that were on my plate. I have to do some housecleaning, and then I’ll go to the northeast after that!” He turned around to leave but then paused, and he walked up to Sebastian, looking despair.
“Sebastian, I don’t know when I’ll be back again after leaving for the northeastern area this time.
Sabrina is now pregnant, so she can’t be infuriated. I think it’s better to not let her see me. Help me tell Sabrina that I will definitely let her see Jane again. ” 3 Sebastian was speechless. Alex then left hurriedly without waiting for Sebastian to say anything.
As he was walking out, Alex made a call to gather all of his subordinates. All the subordinates, who had been urgently gathered, could tell that their master had a sense of unparalleled viciousness and murderous air in his tone this time. 3 No one dared to ask why, they just hurriedly obeyed. 9 Alex went straight to his place that was located halfway up the mountain.
