For Alex Cohen, this was not a good sign. Big Ken heard the underlying meaning from Isla Sullivan’s words and subconsciously glanced at Hunter Yates, taking a few steps forward. He faced Isla and gave her a deep bow, then said sincerely, "Ms. Sullivan, I'm sorry! Last night, I was the one who gave Hunter the order to use whatever means necessary to stop Young Master from going over to replace the hostages. Unfortunately, I was a step too late by the time I arrived...""Stop it, I don't want
Xena knew threatening her own life was the ultimate move that would make Isla understand how serious she was.Isla fell for it and quickly asked, “Mom! I didn’t disagree with you yet. I thought about it last night. Even if you didn’t mention it, I’ll break it off with him. I have to take some responsibility. If I didn’t make an impulsive decision in the beginning, I wouldn’t have met Alex and it wouldn’t have led to where we are now. Sigh...the butterfly effect is too scary..." "Since you kn
Isla Sullivan pursued further and asked, "Mom, are you saying that Dad wanted me to break off my relationship with Alex?""That's right!" Xena Sanders nodded and answered with conviction, "When your father was on the verge of death, his biggest regret in his life was that he didn't get to draw the line between you and Alex in time. If he hadn't condoned your involvement with Alex from the beginning, the company he worked so hard to build and run wouldn’t have been taken away by an outsider.
"Aunty, no offense, but your words are really a bit too presumptuous." "You don't like to hear it? Then stay out of my family's business! Get the hell out of here with them!" "I..." Cynthia expected that Xena would get angry, but she did not expect the sharp words to shoot their way to her. She felt her nose tingle, and with tears streaming out of her eyes, she turned around and ran out.Alex chased after Cynthia to the elevator, handed her a tissue, and said, "Xena is a person with
"Huh? What did you say?"Alex Cohen was flustered. He could understand and even accept Isla's cold attitude towards him. After all, old couples gave each other the cold shoulder over trivial matters, let alone that the two of them were only lovers who had yet to establish their relationship and that Isla's family had just undergone a big change. However, Isla just expressed her need to move out like she wanted to completely cut off her relationship with him. Separation was much more than
"I understand what you mean, but...I’m afraid this matter can't be undone." "Oh? How so?"Cynthia shook her head, then went over to the coffee table and sat down. She poured herself a glass of water, drank it to moisten her dry throat, before she said to Alex, "On the way over, I've been discussing this issue with her. Although I didn't get through to her, I understood how she felt. She made up her mind to move out because she believes that it’s the only way to completely draw the line wi
"What's the situation?"Alex Cohen was startled and bounced up from the sofa. All the nerves in his body were tense.It was already an eventful time for Alex, so he was most afraid of hearing more bad news.Zeke Martin on the other end of the call was also very anxious and spoke with urgency. "Last night, Symore attended one of his acquaintances’ birthday party and still hasn’t returned. I just called the guy, but they said Symore left before midnight. Now his phone can’t be reached, and we
After he said that, Alex hung up the call. Isla's situation was still pressed in his heart and Symore was in trouble again.Alex was already in a mess and did not have the energy nor the time to talk to Charles Lucas. He tucked the phone away, then looked at Zeke and Seth as he asked, "What exactly is the situation?" Zeke looked at Seth and said, "You know better than I do, so you can brief them."Seth nodded and took over the conversation."Alright then. Mr. Cohen, it's like this. La
