He walked quickly through the snow, and when Willie saw his uncle coming, thinking Alex had heard his words about wanting to take over, he immediately stood at attention, tense.

“Uncle.”

Alex coldly went “Hmm,” then looked at Jacob.

“You are?”

“Hello, sir, I’m Jacob.”

Jacob looked obedient and well–behaved.

In his pupils was reflected Alex’s devilishly handsome face, without a ripple of emotion.

Even though Alex was imitating Geoffrey’s way of doing things, with just one look, he could tell that the person before him was definitely not Geoffrey.

Alex’s pupils contracted slightly.

Alex didn’t refute it: “I forgot.”

“Sir, your memory is really bad. You mustn’t let others find out.”

Jacob’s words carried a hidden meaning.

A flash of surprise crossed Alex’s eyes, then quickly vanished.
