Chapter 475 The Only Way to Power
"Just ignore them. Of course, there is no need to be afraid of them."
Alexa felt that Rebekah wanted to say something more to her.
"Cory is very manipulative and will do whatever it takes to get his way," Rebekah said slowly. "They
must have a grudge against you this time you and Terrence investigated the branch company
thoroughly."
"I understand. They have always wanted to drive me out of the Ramsey family."
"It's the only way to power."
Rebekah patted the back of Alexa's hand meaningfully.
"He has arranged for someone to keep an eye on Terrence. Terrence has already dealt with most of
them, yet there are still some fools."
Alexa's eyes flickered, and she had already realized what Rebekah meant.
"Rebekah, are you saying that I should solve this personally?"
"It's a good chance to show them who calls the shots in the Ramsey family."
After Rebekah finished speaking, she left.
Alexa went to Hudson Group right when it was time to get off work.
There were quite a lot of people there, and everyone addressed her as "Mrs. Ramsey" with respect.
Alexa had a strong aura, but she was always gentle when dealing with people. The employees had a
good impression of her.
Edwin came across her face-to-face.
Edwin did not expect her to suddenly come over. He was obviously surprised.
"Mrs. Ramsey, do you have something to do?"
"Nothing."
She straightened the folds on Edwin's sleeve casually.
"Is Terrence still busy?"
"Mr. Ramsey is still dealing with some documents, and he lets me leave."
"Marin is waiting for you downstairs," Alexa smiled subtly. "Just go down."
Edwin nodded with some embarrassment and quickly left.
When Alexa came to Terrence's office, he was not inside.
Not long after Alexa sat down, Laylah Cecillia, the secretary, sent a cup of coffee in.
Laylah obviously did not expect Alexa to be here.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Laylah placed the coffee on Terrence's desk.

"Ms. Duran, what would you like to drink?"
Hearing such an address, Alexa glanced at Laylah indifferently.
"No need. I'm waiting for Terrence."
"Mr. Ramsey is still in the conference room. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to see you."
Alexa chuckled.
"Is it up to you whether my husband has time to see me or not?"
Laylah probably did not expect Alexa to be so tough, and she didn't know what to say for a second.
Alexa walked towards Laylah and slowly picked up Laylah's name card.
"Laylah Cecillia, the secretary." Alexa nodded meaningfully and suddenly looked up. "A newcomer?"
"I'm new here indeed."
"You must be very talented to be the secretary of the CEO's office given that."
Laylah glanced at Alexa silently.
"Didn't you just say that Terrence is in the conference room? Then why did you bring his coffee here?"
"I..."
Alexa didn't give Laylah a chance to reply. She turned around directly.
Then Alexa said, "Toss it. My husband doesn't drink things like this."
"Ms. Duran, Mr. Ramsey is my boss."
"So, you mean you won't obey my orders. Is that right?"
Alexa smiled and did not take Laylah seriously at all.
"Is that how Nina teaches you?"
"Ms. Duran, sarcasm is unnecessary, and you shouldn't slander Ms.
Ramsey."
"Well." Alexa indifferently tilted her head. "So?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Terrence came in.
The first thing he did was look at Alexa, and the coldness in his eyes
disappeared in an instant.
"Mr. Ramsey..."
Laylah sounded very aggrieved.
"Are you going to cry? I've got tissues here. Want some?" Alexa asked
casually.
Laylah was so angry that she left directly.
"Did she piss you off?"

"No. What's there to be angry about? I'm here to see you," Alexa said
calmly.
"I think Nina has put her here. I've been busy and haven't got time to deal
with her."
"It doesn't matter. After tonight, I will be notorious in the company."
"They won't dare."
Since Alexa was here, of course, Terrence would not continue to work
overtime.
He changed his coat.
Then he said, "Let's go eat."
Alexa adjusted his tie for him.
Terrence took the opportunity to hold her waist and took her in his arms.
"Aren't we going to eat? Why are you holding me?"
Though saying so, Alexa did not resist his embrace.
"To recharge," Terrence said concisely.
"I booked a place," Alexa said. "We'll be late if we stay here any longer."
"Mrs. Ramsey, it's rare to see you so active."
Terrence reluctantly let go of her, but he still held her hand.
"Let's go."
When they got into the car, Alexa slowly said to Terrence.
"I heard that there are many women around you these days."
"Is that why you are here today?"
"That's not it. I'd like to eat with you."
Alexa wasn't worried about Terrence. Yet those women were very
purposeful, and they were sent by Nina.
The two facts made Alexa very uncomfortable.
"There have been some strange women lately," Terrence said seriously.
"But I've had Edwin deal with them already. I didn't even talk to them."
"It's not that I feel the need to control you," Alexa explained.
"I can tell."
Terrence nodded and played along.
When they were waiting for the red light, Terrence glanced at Alexa.

"Why are you snickering? What makes you so happy?"
"Ah? I am not snickering."
Alexa put her phone away. "Were you chatting with someone?"
Terrence suddenly felt a bit envious, yet he still looked the same.
"We've had some new interns in the company, and they are nothing but honey-tongued," Alexa said.
The interns were all freshly graduated, so Alexa did not feel anything wrong.
"What did they say?"
"Just some nifty. Hudson Group has interns as well, right? What do you
talk to them about usually?" she said casually.
"I don't talk to them at all."
Terrence paused and then continued.
"Ms. Duran, you are in charge of Hudson Group as well. When are you
planning on coming back to manage it?"
"You are there, aren't you? Besides, if I come back, Nina will be so pissed
off," Alexa smiled.
"She's not in a position to say anything."
"The board of directors of the Duran Group won't let me go," she
helplessly said. "And Keyon has been dealing with the Niebergall family these days."
Tim hadn't been doing well recently, and Irvin was nowhere to be found.
Keyon had to temporarily handle the affairs of the Niebergall Group, and he also had to visit Tim often
in the hospital.
But even so, the Niebergall family still did not trust Keyon very much.
Terrence listened to Alexa seriously without offering his opinion hastily.
They came out of the restaurant after the meal and came across Thalia on the street.
Thalia was alone without Finley.
Alexa went forward and asked. Seeing that Thalia looked upset, Alexa had
a theory.
"You guys have quarreled again?"
"It's nothing serious."
Thalia waved her hand, and Alexa smelled the alcohol from Thalia.
"I recently took over my family's company, and I have to attend to business at night quite a lot. Finley
doesn't seem to like it."
