“I'm sorry, but if I hadn't done that, you guys would have been in danger.”“It's fine, just… be more careful, okay?”“Sure.” ***The next day, much later in the day, Elijah made his way to Wesen Group after he had picked up Claire from school.He planned on picking Alice up as well.“Daddy, are we here to pick up mummy?” Claire asked with Elijah nodding.“Indeed we are. So wait here.”“Okay.”Elijah got down from the car and made sure it was secure before making his way toward the entrance only to pause as he spotted his wife approaching.She was truly a beauty in every sense of the word, and the way she carried herself was truly breathtaking.Just as he was about to call out to her, someone else beat him to it.“Alice!”The man walked up to her holding a bouquet. “These are for you.”“Oh thank you, Darius, you shouldn't have,” Alice remarked.“Haha, anything for you,” Darius remarked. “For a goddess like you, even the world is too little to offer.”“Now you're just flattering me.”

The plan was simple. As long as the workers could get close to Alice and cause the vase they were carrying to break, they would then accuse Alice of damaging it and demand reparations. For this part, Garret planned to intimidate her with his position, ensuring that she would have no choice but to cough up a substantial amount of money to be set free. But even then, he didn't plan to let her go and instead planned to detain her, after which he'd force the Wesen family to give up everything in exchange. That way, he would have dealt them a heavy blow, ensuring that they paid the price for what had happened with Gold Lake which caused the Roland family to taste bankruptcy after so many years of wealth. Of course, it would also cause the person backing them to reveal himself after which Garret wouldn't hesitate to teach the bastard a lesson for overstepping his boundaries. However, what Garret didn't take into account was the fact that Alice was no longer the weak girl from yea

After the meeting with the mysterious figure, David left the lounge and put a call across to his father.“Yes, Dad, he said he can help us cover our tracks and even make it look like it's Alice who carried out the transactions.”“Good, that's very good. Send the money to him and get the proof. I'm going to meet with your grandfather later today. He will surely throw a fit once he learns about this.”“Understood. I'll do so now.”Meanwhile, as the Wesen family plotted against Alice without her knowledge, she went back to work while Elijah headed for the military barracks in the city to report what happened with Commander Garret and his subordinates.Due to this, none of them were able to pick up Claire from school, so Alice asked her friend Maddie, who also had a child, to pick Claire up since her son, Adam, and Claire was attending the same primary school, both being in the 4th grade.After the incident with Aiden Leroy, she managed to recover properly and felt indebted to the Silva f

As the armed men gathered around Caleb, he remarked while pointing at Elijah. “I want you to break his arms and legs and drag him across this playground like a dog!”All his subordinates immediately looked in Elijah's direction while emanating a potent killing intent.“You are the one that dared to attack our boss?... Good, very good, you can forget about leaving here alive!... If you want mercy, break your arms and legs yourself and crawl over here and plead for your life!”Meanwhile, Maddie struggled to keep the two children from panicking as they watched Elijah quickly get surrounded by the bad men. [Mission generated][Dealing with thugs][Reward: 1000 Spirit Points]Elijah ignored the system notification as he cracked his neck and his fist, clearly preparing himself for a fight.Naturally, this didn't sit well with the armed thugs as one of them remarked. “You think you can take all of us?”“I've never met someone more arrogant!”“If we don't teach you a lesson, you'd think you

“You won't be working with Wesen Group. You'd be working with me. Is that acceptable?” Alice asked, feeling rather nervous.She understood that what she was asking for was not something that most business owners would be comfortable with.Working with Wesen Group meant that they wouldn't need to worry about how to recoup their investments in case of a loss.With an individual, if anything ever went wrong, they wouldn't even know where to start from as the person could easily flee, ensuring that they wouldn't be caught.Taking a deep breath, she quickly explained. “Of course, you won't have to worry about me running away or anything of that sort. In truth, I plan on purchasing my own company, separate from Wesen Group. That company would be the one to work with Silver Sparrow.”“There's no need to explain, Miss Alice.” Jeffery suddenly remarked, causing Alice to pause.“What do you mean?”“I mean, even if you don't plan on purchasing a company, I'd still sign the agreement to work with
