Chapter 1218 Becoming A Meal

Alex responded vaguely, "I just got distracted for a moment."

However, Jewel asked, "What did you find out during the interrogation?"

Then, he took a moment to assess her reaction before saying, "He claimed that he was the one who sold you to the Double Dragon Court. When I heard that, it made me feel so heartbroken for you that I didn't notice the dagger near him, and that's how I got injured."

On the contrary, she didn't seem shocked to learn that Damian had sold her to the Double Dragon Court. Instead, she asked, "It's him? So, who did he make a deal with?"

"He didn't tell me anything about that, as he was assassinated before revealing anything. Still, I feel it has something to do with the high-level personnel at the casino. When I was leaving the casino with him, we were stopped by the bodyguards. Whoever can command the bodyguards must be one of the casino's higher-ups. If not for Peter's intervention, I would have sustained more severe injuries."

After hearing this, Jewel thought deeply and inquired, "Is it the casino owner? Do you know who the casino owner is?"


Alex replied, "I haven't had a chance to investigate yet, but according to Peter, there's a new owner recently appointed. I'll have someone look into it tomorrow."

"North should be able to help."

"Okay, it's already late. Let's talk about it tomorrow. You should go to sleep."

"But you haven't eaten yet. I cooked for you." After saying this, she went straight into the kitchen.

Alex was pleasantly surprised upon hearing those words. Does she know how to cook?

He sighed, realizing that since she already knew, there was no need to pretend anymore. The previous act of saying, 'I'm fine; I'm great. I can even run an 800-meter race' completely disappeared. Then, he propped his hands on the couch and struggled to stand up. Like an elderly person taking faltering steps, he slowly walked toward the dining room.

Jewel hurried over to support him when she saw him, afraid he might strain his wound, and instinctively reminded him, "Take it slow."

Alex smiled in response. My Jewel is so good to me. At this thought, he wanted to be close to her, but he unintentionally shifted the weight of his body toward her. It wasn't until he saw the petite figure struggling to support him that he realized his own behavior.

He immediately withdrew his strength, and Jewel also noticed his intentions. However, she just secretly smiled and didn't make a fuss. She helped him sit down, handed him cutleries, and then served the food she had prepared. Afterward, he started eating while she watched him.
