After Elise separated the both of them, she went back home to Alexander. At that moment, Alexander was on the phone. When he saw Elise, he quickly hung up the phone and greeted. her.
“How is it? Are they getting better?” asked Alexander. “It’s still the same as ever. They’ll get better soon after today, though. Elise smiled thoughtfully. Then, she asked him, “Who were you talking to on the phone? You looked serious.”
“Johnny.” Alexander didn’t hide it from her and told the truth. “They found out that many people from Triune are coming to Mesdra, and it seems like they’re planning something big. I’m afraid they are here for Smith Co.”
“Did they not find out their plan?” asked Elise.
“No.” Alexander shook his head. “All these years, Triune was restricted and suffered great. losses because of Smith Co. It is normal for them to be more secretive with their plan.”
As the saying went, once bitten and twice shy. After Wendy and the others suffered losses because of Alexander, they began to hide in the dark. However, if Alexander did not see this as an opportunity to strike Triune after they had weakened their power, the problem would resurface.
After all, Wendy’s organization was similar to a cult as it manipulated others. The longer Triune existed, the more people would be harmed. When that happened, the world would be a mess, and there would be no safe place. Hence, Alexander would not let Triune have a chance to destroy the world.
Elise thought for a moment. Then, her eyes lit up as she hugged him. “Oh my, how dumb are we? We have a handyman on our side. Why don’t we use him?”
When Alexander heard her words, he immediately knew what she meant. “Do you mean Owen?”
“That’s right. Rather than guessing their next move, why don’t we take the initiative instead? After all, we used seven years to change the situation. This is the final stretch, and we can’t make any mistakes. Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain.” Elise was tired of being Anastasia, and she was willing to do anything to get rid of this identity.
However, Alexander didn’t quite agree with her decision. “Owen isn’t easy to get close to. I’m worried that something might happen to you if you get close to him.” He wasn’t afraid of anything, but Elise was his exception. He didn’t want anything to happen to her.
Sometimes, humans acted in such a way. When they had nothing, they wouldn’t be afraid of anything. However, they would be afraid of everything as soon as they had something precious
“No matter how well hidden he is, we always find him. Most importantly, he still doesn’t know that I am Elise. Thus, he will be wrapped around our fingers, so nothing will happen to me. Plus, I have you and Zephyr by my side. Even if something were to happen, you guys would protect me, right?” Elise said to him patiently. As Alexander heard her words, he kept quiet as he couldn’t let himself agree to this.
“Come on, darling,” Elise whined as she wrapped her arms around him, looking at him with her big doe eyes. “Don’t you wish for us to live dignifiedly without having to be secretive? I can hold your hand as we walk down the street without disguising myself. I have longed for this. I have waited for seven years, and this is our chance. Let’s risk it all, shall we? Please, darling.”
As Alexander felt her hot breaths against his skin and listened to her sweet voice, he was lovestruck. He couldn’t help but smile, and his knees weakened. “Sure.” Although he pretended. to act calm and composed, his tone was excited, exposing his inner thoughts.
“You are the best, darling. Elise tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek. At this moment, Zephyr entered the room. When he saw the scene, he quickly covered his eyes and said, “Damn. I hope I’m not interrupting something.”
When Elise saw him, she quickly got down from Alexander and straightened her clothes.
“What great timing,” Alexander commented sarcastically, glaring at him. “What brings your here?”
Then, Zephyr slowly walked toward them and threw a plastic bag at Elise. “This is the medication for the next treatment. The big one is for Narissa, and the small one is for Jamie. Give it to them.”
When Elise opened the plastic bag, she saw that the big one was double the size of the smaller one. “Did you get the wrong prescription? Why does Narissa need so much medicine?” She wondered if Zephyr did this out of personal grudges.
“Their physiques are different, so they have different prescriptions.” Zephyr lied blatantly. “I never knew there was something special with Narissa’s physique.” Elise had her doubts.
‘Just do as I say. Are you the doctor, or am I? Just listen to me!” As Zephyr spoke, he averted. his gaze.
Seeing that he looked guilty, Elise opened the bag and sniffed it. Then, she realized there was gastric medicine as well. Although she didn’t know what he was up to, she didn’t say anything since it wasn’t anything harmful.
At this moment, Alexander suddenly intervened in their conversation. “I heard that Area X has developed a new kind of monitoring device. It still hasn’t launched on the market yet.”
“Stop right there.” Zephyr raised his hands and made a time-out motion. “Quit hitting on me. I am still not a member of Smith Co., and I won’t do this. After all, if I were to help you steal this device, I would be betraying my organization!”
“You are always welcome to join us. As long as you ask, I will agree immediately.” Alexander smiled wickedly.
“No way. I have my principles, and you can’t make me betray my organization.” Zephyr was persistent. Hearing his words, Alexander took out his trump card and exposed his intentions. I know that you have been eyeing my son. Don’t you think it’s time to be sincere?”
Zephyr choked on his spit and coughed vigorously when he heard Alexander’s words. Immediately, his attitude changed. “Well, I think. I can try. However, I can’t promise I will get it since it is very precious to the organization!”
“Where are your principles, Mr. Lorwhal?” Elise teased him.
“You know that I’m being forced to do this.” Zephyr shrugged. “After all, your husband is a trickster, and so is your son. Like father, like son.”
Suddenly, Irvin’s voice sounded. “Are you talking behind my back?” He held Alexia’s hand as he stood by the stairs for God knew how long.
When Zephyr saw him, he immediately put on a smile and said, “Oh, my dear student. You must have misheard me. I was praising you. You can ask your father!” As he spoke, he gave Alexander a look.
Alexander won’t sell me out, will he? After all, I promised him to get the monitoring device. Irvin walked down the stairs and looked at Alexander, wanting to know the truth.
Alexander glanced at Zephyr before looking at Irvin. Then, he nodded seriously and said, “Yes.” I’m not lying, though. Since Zephyr has admitted that Irvin is more skillful than him, he is saying that our family’s genes are good.
“See, I’m not lying. Zephyr smiled happily.
Irvin had a faint expression as he ignored him.
“Come here, Lexi,” Elise called. “I thought you were studying. What brings you down here?”
