"Huh?"The four of them on the other end of the call were once again baffled."What exactly is the situation, I still don't know, but according to my father, Alex and Isla’s marriage by agreement would be automatically dissolved once their contract expires. The two of them are only nominally husband and wife, but actually, they have no relationship at all. Also, I heard that Alex had some unresolved grudges with Isla’s parents..."Carlton had already told them everything in order to explain t
It used to be that Isla Sullivan bossed Alex Cohen around using the agreement, but now it was the other way around.Their attitudes towards the agreement they signed also changed 180-degree.In the beginning, Alex was forced to sign the agreement with Isla in order to save Francis Cohen, and he could not wait to be relieved of his duty sooner.In contrast, Isla's agreement was signed on her own initiative so that she could continue to live with Alex. When she was discussing this with Cynthia,
Just as Alex expected, no good words could be expected from a scoundrel. He already knew that Xena would not have anything nice to say.Isla, however, frowned and was too embarrassed to say anything.Victor glared at Xena and said to Alex, "I appreciate your kindness, but I won't stay at the villa. It's just the two of us, so we’ll stay at the apartment where you live now. I know the people in the neighborhood, so it'll also be easier for me to catch up with old friends. The environment at the
The front door was not a good place to talk, so Alex Cohen invited Fallon and Lianna Ballantine into his house.Alex did not know whether Isla Sullivan thought of herself as a hostess or a maid, but she politely made tea and even prepared a fruit platter.Fallon Ballantine, out of courtesy, intuitively picked up a cherry when Isla handed her the fruit platter, but she did not have the appetite, so she passed it on to Lianna. She then said to Alex, "It's true that power can solve everything. Or
When Harvey saw that Alex and Big Ken arrived, he quickly put down his work at hand and entertained them personally.Alex, who came with a strong sense of urgency and purpose, declined Harvey's offer to brew them his fine collection of tea and got straight to the point. "Captain Simpson, I'm here today to learn more about Chase Lucas’ situation. He has a close relationship with Isaac Litt and has worked with him for many years. It’s not wrong to say that he’s a drug dealer like Isaac, so why
When Alex Cohen heard Fallon Ballantine say last night that Chase Lucas had become more rampant than before, he did not pay much attention to it.However, after Gunner Young mentioned it again, it seemed to be a pretty serious situation, so it must not be taken lightly.Alex exchanged glances with Fallon, then looked at Gunner and said, "Please enlighten us."Gunner maintained a dignified look and slowly said, "I heard that Chase has the support of a mysterious person.""A mysterious person?
"Leo? No matter who you are, you’re not qualified to judge me, nor are you qualified to share a table with us. If you have something to say, you'd better get out before I get angry. If you ruin our appetite, I really won’t mind making you tube-fed for the rest of your life!"Leo shook his head and slowly put down the napkin on the table.He grabbed a metal fork in his right hand and suddenly bent it with his thumb. Then he casually dropped the fork, clasped his hands together, and said arrogan
The other three also realized, like Alex Cohen, that the mysterious person who supported Chase Lucas should be Leo.New questions arose. What was Leo’s true identity?Alex walked to the table with doubts, gesturing for Fallon Ballantine, the main character for the negotiations with Chase Lucas, to take a seat in the middle.Leo leaned back in his seat, scanned the four people across the table, and said coldly, "Alex Cohen, you didn’t take what I told you at noon to heart, huh? It's not too la
