His Lordship Alexander Kane by Useless Caesar

Chapter 0044

Alexander told a well–intentioned lie. Given his real identity, associating with him was a double–edged sword. He did not want to bring misfortune to Susanne and her family.

“I see…”

Patrick and Susanne both relaxed a little, although there was still a hint of disappointment in their eyes.

Susanne scoffed. “I knew it… You depended on others.”

However, she could not hide her approval of Alexander, and she discreetly placed a piece of meat on his plate.

Patrick chimed in, “Connections can only go so far. You need to find some work on your own instead of relying on others.”

Alexander nodded and continued eating.

Patrick had more questions. “So, how did you afford the Porsche?”

“After my service in the military, I worked on ships for several years and managed to save some money.”

Patrick looked at Alexander, still somewhat skeptical.

He was in the military for five years, but…could a sailor’s salary be that substantial?

Alexander put down his utensils and spoke with a smile, “Dad, I really did buy the car. Once your leg is better, I’ll get you one, too.”

The living room fell into an eerie silence.

Patrick lowered his head and remained quiet. Susanne glanced at him and wiped away a tear. Amber abandoned her meal solemnly.

“Sigh… My leg has been this way for a long time…” Patrick smiled bitterly and did not elaborate further.
