New beginning: Billionaire love story

Chapter 198 Visiting the mastermind

Alex had finally gotten Lisa's location, and without wasting a moment, he instructed his driver to head to the police station. As his Bentley pulled up in front of the station, Alex took a deep breath and stepped out, gazing up at the imposing building. Walking inside, he was greeted by the receptionist. "Good afternoon. How can I help you?" she asked.

Alex's expression remained stoic as he approached. "I need to see Lisa Thompson."

The receptionist called over a police officer who walked up to Alex. "Who are you to her?" the officer asked, flipping through some documents on his desk.

Keeping his demeanor cold but managing a slight smile, Alex replied, "Just an old friend. I'd like to have a word with her."

The officer stared at Alex for a moment before nodding. "You've got five minutes. Not more."

"Understood," Alex said, nodding in acknowledgment.

The officer instructed another policeman to take Alex to see Lisa Thompson. The officer nodded and gestured for Alex to follow him. As they walked, Alex stuffed his hands in his pockets, his mind racing with what he would say. The walk was short but felt longer with the officer's bored tone breaking the silence.

"Don't pull any stunts, or you'll be in there with her."

Alex nodded. "I just want to talk."

The officer unlocked the cell, and Alex stepped inside. Lisa, who was curled up in a corner with her head down on her arms, looked up. Her eyes widened in shock, and she stood up quickly. "Alex?"

Alex regarded her coldly. "Hello, Lisa."

Lisa didn't like the coldness in his voice, but she didn't care at the moment. The fact that Alex was visiting her gave her a flicker of hope. She stepped closer to him, her voice hopeful. "Are you here to free me?"

Alex laughed, a harsh sound that made Lisa flinch. "Did that stunt earlier go to your head?"

Lisa was confused. "What do you mean?"

Alex began to walk around the small cell, his eyes never leaving Lisa. "I know about your so-called suicide attempt."
