Chapter: 133 Part 2: Alexander's Plan to Smoke Him Out
Alexander moved toward the sofa. "What have you found?""Two of our major companies are sponsoring Elliot's businesses. We've also discovered that nine of our allies have invested in companies connected to him."Alexander's expression barely changed. "Just as I thought."The Crime Boss, who was standing nearby, exchanged a glance with him. The information confirmed that Elliot's business network was more closely connected to their circle than they had initially realized.Butler continued. "We are still examining the exact structure of the investments and sponsorship agreements. However, the connections are substantial enough that withdrawing our support would place considerable pressure on his operations."Alexander nodded. "Good. That gives us the leverage we need."There was a brief pause before Butler spoke again. "Young Master, there's something else."Alexander's eyes narrowed slightly. "What is it?""We've finally located Elliot's hideout."For the first time since the conversat

Alexander walked toward the window, his hands resting casually in his pockets. Outside, the afternoon traffic continued as usual, with people going about their business without knowing that a dangerous confrontation was developing behind the scenes."I'm not convinced Elliot genuinely intends to move Clara immediately," Alexander continued. "He knows I've identified him, and he knows my people will start searching for her. By making us believe he's preparing to transfer her, he wants to keep us reacting to his movements instead of taking control of the situation ourselves."The Crime Boss considered his words. "You think the report about the transfer could be a distraction?""It could be. Elliot has already shown that he prefers using deception and threats rather than confronting me directly. He wants me to become impatient, send people rushing after every possible lead, and make mistakes because I'm desperate to find Clara."Alexander turned slightly. "If we keep reacting to every mo

Elliot straightened and turned toward his subordinate. "Make the necessary preparations. I want Alexander's people to receive enough information to believe we're moving her. But don't let anyone outside this building know what we're actually doing.""Understood, sir.""And make sure nobody does anything foolish. Clara must remain unharmed until the wedding arrangements are settled. I don't want an unnecessary mistake ruining what I've worked so hard to achieve."The subordinate nodded before leaving the room.When the door closed, Elliot looked at Clara and gave another satisfied laugh."You heard him, didn't you? Everyone is getting ready. Soon, your little Alexander will be running around the city, trying to find you. And by the time he realizes what I've done, it may already be too late."Clara lowered her head briefly, concealing the fear that had begun to creep into her thoughts.She refused to let Elliot see how much his words affected her. She knew Alexander would come, but she

He gestured toward the surrounding structure."Our men are prepared. The entrances are watched, and nobody gets close without being noticed. If Alexander sends people here, they'll discover that finding this place and getting Clara out are two very different things.""But what if he brings more men than we expect?""Then we'll deal with them."Elliot's answer came without hesitation.The subordinate remained unconvinced. He had heard enough about Alexander's actions at the auction to know the man wasn't as ordinary as Elliot liked to believe.The humiliation Elliot had suffered that day had not been caused by luck. Alexander had handled the situation with a confidence that suggested he was accustomed to being in control.Now Elliot had given that same man a reason to come looking for him."Sir, I still think we should consider moving Clara immediately. If Alexander has people searching for her, remaining here could expose us."Elliot glanced toward Clara. "That's precisely what I inte

Clara stared at him, her breathing becoming heavier as she tried to understand what he meant.Elliot tilted his head."Didn't you hear? I met him at the courthouse. He's been fighting to divorce Aurelia, and I gave him a choice. He can abandon that little divorce battle and perhaps get the chance to see you again, or he can continue pretending that he is some powerful man who cannot be controlled."He paused, allowing the threat to settle. "Either way, he will have to deal with me."Clara shook her head again, her eyes burning with anger. She knew Alexander would not abandon his decision simply because Elliot had threatened him. Alexander had already endured too much to allow another person to control his future.More importantly, she knew he would come for her.She wanted to tell Elliot that he had made a terrible mistake by underestimating Alexander, but the gag kept every word trapped behind her lips.Elliot interpreted her frustration as helplessness. "Don't worry. You will have p
Chapter: 132 Part 1: The Man Who Thought He Had Won
Elliot returned to his hideout with a satisfied smile spreading across his face. The events at the courthouse had gone exactly as he had hoped, and the memory of Alexander's expression when he revealed that Clara was in his hands continued to amuse him.For weeks, he had wanted an opportunity to humiliate the man who had embarrassed him at the auction. Alexander had not only interfered with his plans to marry Clara, but he had also dared to make him look insignificant in front of people who once treated him with respect.Elliot had never forgotten that humiliation.Now, however, he believed the situation had finally changed. Alexander had spent so much time fighting to end his marriage to Aurelia that he was finally close to getting what he wanted. Yet Elliot had placed an obstacle in his way, and unlike the previous problems Alexander had faced, this one involved someone he genuinely cared about.Clara.Elliot was certain that Alexander would eventually have to choose between complet
