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
When the boss heard this, his eyes widened in shock and said incredulously, "Mr. Cohen, you know this woman? She...is she your enemy?"Seth also panicked, thinking that if the one who seduced Symore was Alex's enemy, then Symore would be in danger.Alex frowned, nodded, and said to Big Ken, "Bro, you still remember her, right?"Big Ken responded, "I remember. She’s that old classmate of yours called Sukie Lane, right?""That's right, it's her. I haven't seen her for a few months and thought
Alex wanted to analyze the potential suspects by comparing them so that he could pick one or two suspects to have a greater focus on the investigation. However, after listening to Zeke's introduction, he found that none of them were good people and all of them had the possibility of having a grudge against Symore, so he could not exclude any of them. He only said to Seth, "Immediately arrange people to keep an eye on the gangs that Zeke just mentioned. Symore might be captured by one of those ri
