“Oh son, you do not remember my voice?” Augus’s voice on the phone sounds very arrogant.
“Are you still a human being? How can you do such a thing?” Alex’s heart is smouldering in resentment
because this morning he was still thinking about how to achieve the capital turnover of the Alex Group
so that the situation can be better.
Augus becomes more and more confident in his words, “I told you long ago that you would regret it.”
“So you’re threatening me now?” Alex’s face has turned to the colour of molten lava and his eyes flash
bolts of lightning, as if he is a beast that will go crazy to kill people at any moment.
“Let me tell you. If you don’t get the capital turnover for my company, then you won’t be able to see that
old woman ever again.” Augus feels that now he must be by hook or by crook as he knows that the old
woman is his bargaining chip so he does not need to be afraid.
“Are you sure you want to treat me in such a way?” Alex feels that his father is indeed too heartless as
his father becomes frenzied and does this kind of thing again.
Augus’s tone is steadfast, “Let me tell you, if you don’t prepare the capital for our company, then you
will be collecting the old woman’s corpse.”
“You…”
Augus instantly hangs up the phone after saying that. Alex is too angry for the words.
“What exactly does he say? What is his requirement to let go of my grandmother?” Miya is so anxious
that she can only grab her phone to redial Carmen’s phone, but it cannot be reached anymore.
Miya is so helpless that she slumps down and keeps scratching her hair with her hands, “What should I
do now?”
Alex squats down and helps Miya to get up, “Let me handle all this, I will never let him hurt
grandmother.”
Miya is originally very panicked, but after hearing Alex’s words, she nods her head.
Without hesitation, Alex asks Randy to be ready for driving the car. When he just gets on the car, Miya
chases after him.
“Are you going to look for Augus? I want to go with you.” Miya has butterflies in her stomach as she is
really too worried about Carmen’s well-being.
Alex frowns and looks at Miya caringly, “As the saying goes, if you are too worried, you will make the
wrong decision. I know that you are very worried about grandmother’s condition, but I can solve these
things by myself. If you’re around, I’ll be distracted easily.”
“Then…I’ll wait for your good news.” Miya spits out the words slowly, watching them drive away and
disappear from her sight. Her heart is thumping fiercely against her chest while she is anxiously waiting
for their news.
In the next moment, there is a sharp braking sound at the entrance of the Alex Group.
With a cold face, Alex gets off the car. Randy follows him respectfully with a document.
When Alex walks into the office, he sees that Grace is lying on the table and spinning the pen.
When Grace hears a sound coming from the door, she thinks Augus is coming and she immediately
stands up and rolls her eyes disgustedly. But the moment when she realizes that it is Alex, her eyes
sparkle with happiness.
“Alex, why are you here?” Grace’s eyes are glowing. She walks towards Alex and earnestly hopes that
she can jump onto his body. There is a delight and also a buzz of excitement in her tone.
“Cut the crap, where is Alex?” Alex’s voice is still cold.
Grace replies with a tinge of sadness, “He doesn’t come to the office today.”
“Doesn’t come to the office?” Alex repeats these words stiffly, “Then where the hell does he go?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never asked him about his schedule.” To be honest, she is unwilling to see Augus
appear in front of her. Being a beautiful and gorgeous woman, she does not want to see an old man
every day.
After hearing this, Alex wants to turn around and leave.
Grace, however, is reluctant to see him leaving. She rushes to him and grabs his arm, “Alex, we
haven’t seen each other for so long, can’t you talk with me?”
This is because, for Grace, it is really rare that she can see him here. To be frank, she really likes Alex
very much. However, she has had sex with Augus and her parents keep forcing her to be with him. She
is actually very helpless and grievous but she simply cannot find anyone to confide in.
Although Grace looks so pitiful, Alex still treats her ruthlessly.
“Come on my stepmother, if you have anything in your mind, you can talk to my father.” Alex is already
indignant at his father’s actions, and now the woman whom his father dotes on is still in his sight. He
can’t help to make her as a punching bag.
Grace’s eyes turn watery and red, “I just want to talk with you for a while, why you keep saying hurtful
words to me?”
The words said by Alex the next second hurt Grace even more.
“I’m sorry, I’ll only take pity on my wife.”
After saying that, Alex lifts his feet and leaves.
Feeling blue, she sits on the ground, looking at Alex’s leaving figure, thinking why is she so miserable?
She buries her face in her hands and sobs quietly, unable to hold in the great tide of emotions.
Randy looks back at Grace who is sitting on the ground, shakes his head and cannot figure out how
come the CEO can be adored by so many women. However, Grace truly does look a bit pitiful right
now.
Sensing Randy’s behaviour, Alex says, “If you care about her, you can go back and asks her if she is
okay.”
Randy understands what do Alex’s words actually mean and quickly shakes his head, “I don’t I don’t.”
“Then quickly leave here.” Alex now only wants to find Augus and to know where exactly he has hidden
Carmen. He does not expect Augus can be so unscrupulous.
Randy does not dare to say anything more and only follows Alex.
“How is the matter that I asked you to investigate?” Alex asks in a gloomy tone.
Randy’s entire body is stunned. Last night, Alex called him suddenly and asked him to investigate a lot
of things. Even God cannot find out everything in one day, so he can only reply with a heavy tone, “Not
yet.”
“When is the earliest time you can let me know?” Alex’s face swells with anger and looks so terrifying
as if he is going to kill Randy the next second.
Although Randy already gets used to Alex’s temper, he can still feel a haze of fear.
