She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 937:

Alan’s head spun in confusion. Did she just say Lambert Group?

The Lambert Group he knew, the elusive, nearly invisible empire?

“What’s wrong?” Freya asked when Alan didn’t respond for a long moment.

“Liquor’s here. I’ll go get it.” Alan glanced at his buzzing phone, clearly seizing the chance to change the subject as he stood up. “We’ll talk later. No rush.”

Since he didn’t bring it up again, neither did Freya or Ellis.

When Alan came back with the liquor, he sat down and began drinking with Ellis, while Freya and Ethel left them to it.

As usual, Alan was hoping to get Ellis to let something slip.

But as the drinks piled up, his own thoughts started to drift.

At first, the conversation was normal. But the more Alan drank, the more his tongue loosened, and soon he was slurring drunken warnings at Ellis.

“Let me tell you, Mina is the treasure of our family,” Alan said, flinging an unsteady arm around Ellis’s shoulder. “If you ever do her wrong, I won’t let you off easy.”
