Chapter 431 Alaric, I Can't Rest in Peace!


"Just some boring movies," he said, trying to hide the fact that he was still keeping tabs on Far East International. "Alright," Stellan replied, glancing at the dark computer screen.

"Okay, let's go eat." Alaric got up, wrapped his arm around Stellan, and they headed downstairs together.

"Not too bad, manageable."

"That's good." Alaric casually asked, "Did I get any calls today?"

Stellan hesitated but decided to be honest. "There was a call from an unknown number. I answered, but they hung up immediately. No idea who it was."

"Probably just a spam call. Don't worry about it."

"Alright," Stellan responded lightly. After eating for a bit, she couldn't help but ask, "Alaric, are you investigating something recently?"

Alaric felt a bit guilty. He already knew about the threatening letter, but Stellan didn't know he knew. And Harry had taken control of all the surveillance at Far East International. He could see everything happening there daily, but he couldn't let her know that.
