Chapter 49 Alexander's Doubt

Chapter 49 Alexander's Doubt

Florence dawdled on the street and she didn't know where to go.

It was late at night.

There were few people on the street.

Florence was a little hungry since she hardly ate at the banquet.

Seeing there was a barbecue stall on the side of the road, Florence sat down and ordered some barbecued food and a bottle of beer.

A cool breeze was blowing. Florence sniffed. If someone saw the goddaughter of the Cooper family was strolling on the street late at night and eating some barbecued food at a roadside barbecue store, they might be very surprised.

Florence didn't want to restrain herself because of being a goddaughter of the Cooper family. She was still what she used to be.

She was eating barbecued food while drinking beer. She was alone, quietly looking at the people coming and going from time to time.

This kind of comfort was her life.

In the car on the roadside, Alexander stared at Florence. He kept following her, but did not approach.

After getting along with her for so long, Alexander thought he knew Florence well, and it was not until tonight that he realized that she was hiding something he didn't know about.

A young couple came and sat beside Florence's table. At first they were eating cheerfully, but suddenly they quarreled.

The man kicked the stool angrily, and questioned the girl furiously, "You have had a baby? You are not a virgin? You are lying to me!"

The girl was sad and wronged. She was sobbing and said, "I didn't mean to lie to you. Tom, I'm sorry, it was because I was so young and ignorant that I made a mistake. But I really love you."

"You have even given birth to a child. Why do I need you? I don't need someone dumped by the other man. Don't come to me see me again in the future." The man was very determined.

"Tom, Tom..." The girl chased after him crying.

Such an incident made Florence even more annoyed and upset, and a sense of inferiority arose spontaneously.

Did men hate women who have given birth to a baby?

Alexander would definitely mind it.

She deceived him.

After drinking the beer in the bottle, Florence stumbled into a taxi and went back home. Maybe she was tired, or maybe she was drunk. She fell asleep as soon as she lay on the bed.

Alexander was sitting in the car downstairs. He didn't get out of the car and went upstairs either. He lit a cigarette and smoked silently.

There was nothing he could not find out if Alexander wanted to know.

But he didn't dare to find out why Florence was acting so weirdly tonight.

The smoke burnt out slowly.

The car was filled with smoke and a pile of cigarette butts were on the ground.

As the sky got lighter, Alexander left and returned to the Logans’ mansion.

Courtney got up early. She hadn't met Florence for several days. It was also inappropriate for her to show up at the introduction banquet yesterday as she was afraid that she would let the plan slip.

As soon as Courtney came downstairs, she saw Alexander coming in from outside with his crutch, walking quickly.

"My son, what's the wrong?" Courtney's heart jolted, "Did you have words with Florrie?"

Courtney was just saying, but she did not expect the temperature in the air to drop suddenly.

It was so bad. It seemed she guessed it right.

Courtney asked cautiously, "You two did quarrel?"

Alexander didn't say a word, and Courtney was so anxious.

"Son, you need to say something. What's wrong? Tell me and I will give you an idea." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"It's okay." Alexander replied shortly and walked upstairs.

Courtney remembered something, and when she saw Alexander walking upstairs, she reminded him immediately. "Son, Steven is back."

Alexander stopped, and his eyebrows twisted.

As soon as Courtney finished her words, a tall and handsome man in casual attire appeared on the stairs.

"Brother, you are home. It's been a long time."

Steven had a gentle smile on his face, but with a closer look, one would find that his smile was mixed with a bit of insidiousness.

This man was Kingston's eldest son, Steven Logan.

Alexander stared at the person in front of him, and subconsciously held the clutch harder.

"Why didn't you tell me that you would be home, Steven?" Alexander's thin lips twitched lightly. "Are you coming back to see uncle?"

"I heard that this time it was done by people from Silhouette. My dad has been beaten. As his son, I must revenge for him."

Alexander sneered and said, "Steven, you’re really filial. But be careful not to make the same mistakes as he did."

"Thank you for your caring, Alex. I must be cautious. I must find the goods that my father lost this time and ask Silhouette to pay in ten times."

They were talking and laughing, but the air was filled with killing intent.

"By the way, Alex, I brought a genius doctor back from abroad this time so that he can try to cure your sickness."

"No, I'm good." Alexander rebuffed him and walked straight to the room without giving Steven a look.

Steven looked gloomy. His eyes darkened when they fell on Alexander's crippled leg.

Alexander wore a mask all the year round, making it impossible for people to guess his emotions from his face and what he had in his mind.

The door shut with a bang. Steven smiled and looked at Courtney. "Aunt, it seems that Alex still takes the thing that I drugged him five years ago to his heart. I was hoping to help him and Jessica, but I didn't know it would cause such a tragedy."

Courtney sneered and said, "Stop faking it. Steven, you come back so early. You must be hoping that my son will die soon. Don't worry, even if something happens to my son, it won't be your turn to be in charge of the Logan family."

Steven's face darkened and he said, "Aunt, what do you mean by that? I have never coveted the property of the Logan family."

"Heh!" Courtney sneered, and left without saying anything.

She deliberately made Steven unhappy. As for what she meant, who knows? she was just talking nonsense.

Florence went to work as usual, and all the colleagues in the company did everything to please her.

She was not used to it.

People were going for profit. The introduction banquet was so grand that everyone knew it.

The flattery of the colleagues was entirely directed at her title as the goddaughter of Cooper family.

"Florence, Mr. Logan wants you to go to his office." One colleague said.

"Okay." Florence stood up and headed to the office.

"Mr. Logan."

Florence knocked on the door and went in. "You wanted to see me?"

"Close the door." Maxwell did not raise his head.

Florence went to close the door suspiciously and asked, "Mr. Logan, what can I help you with?"

Maxwell looked up at Florence and said, "I just want to confirm. Do you really want to go to the Logan Group headquarters? If you don't, you will be promoted to the product manager here."

She might be nobody if she worked at the headquarters, but in this subsidiary, she could get a promotion very soon.

Florence was surprised thinking if Maxwell wanted her to stay.

Maxwell found that Florence was silent, he leaned back in his chair, and smiled, "You can think about it."

"No, Mr. Logan, if the election is successful, I still hope to work in the headquarters." Florence said bluntly, not because she was not afraid to offend Maxwell. She wanted to go to a higher platform before, but now, she preferred to change a working environment.

Maxwell twisted his eyebrows. He knew he couldn't make her stay, but he still wanted to try.

"Okay!" Maxwell crossed his fingers and looked at Florence and then said suddenly, "You were so beautiful at the banquet last night."

"Mr. Logan, did you go to the banquet too?"

She didn't see Maxwell last night.

"I read the news."

If Maxwell did attend the banquet, those young ladies would definitely scream.

His nickname "prince charming" was well-earned.

"Thank you." Florence smiled lightly. "Mr. Logan, is there anything else I can help you with?"

"The results have come out. You can go to the headquarters tomorrow." Maxwell looked at Florence, "Congratulations."

Even though Florence was determined to get that chance, she was still surprised.

Soon after Florence left the office, another member who could be transferred to the headquarters was announced, that person surprised everyone.
