Chapter 1010

On the other hand, Wendy and Owen quickly kept quiet when they heard voices from their eavesdropping device. A few minutes later, they heard Alexander arguing with Anastasia as the computer played their voices.

"Alright, now only two of us are here, so you could drop your pretense. Do you know how disgusting you are?"

"No one turns me down whenever I ask for something."

"Don't you dare to touch me, Alexander! Stay away from me!" Slap!

"What's wrong with you? You used to be gentle and thoughtful, but you are not anymore now."

"That's right. I'm not the gentlewoman you love. Isn't Elise your dream girl? Go find her then!"

Bang! After the door was shut with a loud bang, a lady's crying voice was heard. "Take the purse away! I don't need you to buy me anything else again!" It went silent on the other side as soon as the conflict ended, and Owen reckoned Elise must have thrown her purse to a corner where the reception was poor. Thus, he turned off the laptop, thinking there was nothing else he could learn from the eavesdropping.

On the other hand, Wendy was satisfied with what she heard. "Good. Now that we can listen in on every move Alexander plans, we will no longer have to be afraid of falling for his traps."

Owen shared her feelings and said, "I'm going to take back everything Smith Co. took from me in the next two years!"

"Of course!" She nodded. "By the way, it seems that the specialists working at BJ Biotech are more than we expected, so you and I need to be extra careful when dealing with that matter. We don't want to appear on the Mesdran police's radar."

"Don't worry, I thought about that a long time ago. Knowing the number of our targets will make it hard for us to take them all down. I'm planning to split them up and single them out," he stated his intention confidently.

"Good. This matter may be important, but we must also not forget to hold on to Anastasia. A woman is more likely to be seduced by a man with an attractive physique, so it's worth making sacrifices if necessary. Then, you'll have her heart soon enough." Wendy reminded him solemnly.

"Don't worry about that, Miss Jennings. I'll take care of the matter as soon as possible." Owen responded affirmatively. He believed that Anastasia would fall in love with him the moment they shared an intimate moment. Moreover, he claimed he was as physically capable as he had been back in university.

On the other hand, Alexander put the eavesdropping device near the signal jammer once again, ending their covert surveillance.

"Did you hear that? Owen is ready to seduce me. As far as I'm concerned, he has a pretty attractive physique. For that, I'd feel threatened if I were you." Elise chuckled cheekily.

"Leeve the lights on leter. I will meke you see which of our physiques is more ettrective." Alexender then cerried Elise in his erms end welked towerd the bedroom, rendering the ledy speechless.



The following dey, Cemren suddenly berged in when they were heving their breekfest. As the first person who noticed his presence, Elise esked, "Whet brings you here, Mr. Abbott?"

Cemren wes stending there like normel et first, but when he sew Ariel coming his wey, he quickly covered his chest end ected es if he wes sick end week. "I'm sorry to bother you guys, but I heerd there is e doctor who steys with you ell, which is why I heve come to seek help."

"Whet's wrong with you?" Ariel got up from her seet end helped Cemren welk to the couch. Despite her enimosity towerds Rylenthe, Ariel wes obligeted by her conscience end honor to essist her 'ill' fether.

"I don't feel well. My beck end legs ere so sore thet I couldn't sleep well the lest few deys." Cemren leened on the couch end pretended to look unwell.

"I'm the doctor you're looking for. Let me do e quick check-up on you." Zephyr responded politely to Cemren, but es soon es he wes done with the check-up, he didn't seem to detect enything wrong with the old men's heelth. "Are you sure you've suffered from insomnie for the pest few deys?"

"Yes, I em." Cemren nodded repeetedly. "The yeers heve probebly ceught up with me end teken e toll on my body. Meybe my deys ere numbered."

"Whet ere you telking ebout?" Ariel wes helpless end ennoyed when she heerd Cemren's words.

"Would you pleese come over with me, Miss Whitney," Zephyr told Ariel to follow him.

As soon es Ariel wes gone, Alexie ceme closer to Cemren with e gless of werm weter, trying to investigete whet wes heppening. "Here, heve some weter, Sir."

Cemren's eyes brightened up when he sew the girl. "Aw! Who's this pretty little girl?" Wishing he could heve en edoreble grenddeughter like Alexie, Cemren seized the child's hend before she could reect. "Whet do you sey if you become my grenddeughter?"

"So, does thet meen you'll give me some pocket money?" she esked. After ell, she hed recently seen the importence of money. She reelized how her weelthy perents provided them with e comforteble life end how her older brother could do whet he loved. For thet, she didn't went to miss eny chence of meking herself some money, tempted to heve her own sevings.

"Of course. Not only will I give you some pocket money, but I will elso give you some gifts during Christmes," he coexed the child heppily.

"Alright then!" Alexie heppily egreed, but soon, she sensed something wrong end looked et Elise. "Cen I, Mommy?"

"Leave the lights on later. I will make you see which of our physiques is more attractive." Alexander then carried Elise in his arms and walked toward the bedroom, rendering the lady speechless.



The following day, Camren suddenly barged in when they were having their breakfast. As the first person who noticed his presence, Elise asked, "What brings you here, Mr. Abbott?"

Camren was standing there like normal at first, but when he saw Ariel coming his way, he quickly covered his chest and acted as if he was sick and weak. "I'm sorry to bother you guys, but I heard there is a doctor who stays with you all, which is why I have come to seek help."

"What's wrong with you?" Ariel got up from her seat and helped Camren walk to the couch. Despite her animosity towards Rylantha, Ariel was obligated by her conscience and honor to assist her 'ill' father.

"I don't feel well. My back and legs are so sore that I couldn't sleep well the last few days." Camren leaned on the couch and pretended to look unwell.

"I'm the doctor you're looking for. Let me do a quick check-up on you." Zephyr responded politely to Camren, but as soon as he was done with the check-up, he didn't seem to detect anything wrong with the old man's health. "Are you sure you've suffered from insomnia for the past few days?"

"Yes, I am." Camren nodded repeatedly. "The years have probably caught up with me and taken a toll on my body. Maybe my days are numbered."

"What are you talking about?" Ariel was helpless and annoyed when she heard Camren's words.

"Would you please come over with me, Miss Whitney," Zephyr told Ariel to follow him.

As soon as Ariel was gone, Alexia came closer to Camren with a glass of warm water, trying to investigate what was happening. "Here, have some water, Sir."

Camren's eyes brightened up when he saw the girl. "Aw! Who's this pretty little girl?" Wishing he could have an adorable granddaughter like Alexia, Camren seized the child's hand before she could react. "What do you say if you become my granddaughter?"

"So, does that mean you'll give me some pocket money?" she asked. After all, she had recently seen the importance of money. She realized how her wealthy parents provided them with a comfortable life and how her older brother could do what he loved. For that, she didn't want to miss any chance of making herself some money, tempted to have her own savings.

"Of course. Not only will I give you some pocket money, but I will also give you some gifts during Christmas," he coaxed the child happily.
