These subordinates of Alex’s were all old subordinates who had followed Alex for many years.Their understanding of Alex as a person was not any less than Sebastian. For so many years, their master looked gentle and kind, but he had never messed around with women outside.Also, the master did not have the patience to hold down a woman.Among the men, the person who had been by Alex’s side the longest was Garrett. He had once witnessed how Alex put a female B-lister on the spot.The name of that female celebrity was Cindy Miller.Cindy was not considered a popular international movie star, but she still was a little famous in Kidon City and the northern area.According to what Cindy said herself, the reason she was not among the A-listers was that she did not wish to obey the unspoken rule of the entertainment industry.She had maintained her purity and had been very proud, so her path to stardom had not been smooth.Five years ago, Cindy had the pleasure of meeting Master Alex

Cindy immediately dragged her dress along the floor in an attempt to run."Get back here!" Alex barked coldly.Startled, Cindy started trembling as she turned around to look at him in tears, "Mr. P- Mr. Poole, I won't do it again…” "You forgot to apologize to my date!""...""It's fine…" Jane said.Alex did not say another word, and simply stared at Cindy with his chilling glare.At that very moment, Cindy felt like hiding away in a hole. She had spent so many years and hard work in building herself into a cool and distant character, simply because she wanted to be picked by the most powerful man of Kidon City one day when she heard that Alex was still single. Never had she imagined that, despite how difficult it had been for her to get into the event hall, Alex did not even look at her for the two hours that she was there. She was out of ideas and therefore resorted to pretending that she was rushing out of the party over a phone call.Anyone else would not suspect a thing at

The driver that drove the car Lily was in was the best investigator she picked from Axel's subordinates, and therefore managed to remain undercover the entire time they followed Alex's car. However, they did not get very far before she realized the cars that followed Alex slowly went into separate ways. Some drove off into the valley and some made turns toward other towns, leaving only Alex's car to drive along the highway towards the north-eastern direction."Miss, what is Mr. Poole…" the driver asked in confusion.Lily, too, was puzzled at what Alex was planning to do. She simply commanded the driver, "Keep following him! You go wherever Alex goes!""Yes, Miss!"Alex did not notice that he was being followed, as his entire mind was on Jane. He was there to search for his wife, not to go to war, and hence had not thought of the possibility of being followed by Lily. On top of that, the driver he used today was not the sharp-witted one that guarded him most of the time, but another

The woman was about four to five months into her pregnancy, and was rushing forward in frustration. A rough-looking man came out of the vehicle shortly after and ran up to the woman in the pink windcoat before grabbing her by the arm. Without saying a word, the man slapped the woman across the face and shouted, "this ought to teach you. Come back with me!"The woman stumbled forward from the slap and was about to fall to the ground but she did not, because she fell into Alex's waiting arms.He held the woman by the shoulders excitedly. "I've finally found you, Jane. I've looked so hard, Jane! Your… Your belly has grown so big, has it been four months already? You… You found yourself another boyfriend? Why is it that you always meet the wrong people? How dare he hit you?"Before the woman could respond, he let go of his hands and got herself to sit on the bench at the bus stop before turning around to face the man who hit her."Wh--Who are you? Why did you hug my wife like that in b

Alex's ears immediately perked up. "What… What did you just say?"Barely capable of containing his excitement, Garrett said, "Master, I saw her in one of the ocean-side towns, but I'm about a thousand and five hundred kilometers away from you.""I'm coming over right now!""Okay...""Hang on!""Yes, Master?""Do not disturb her!""I understand, Master!"After hanging up, Alex immediately shouted, "Andrew, start driving!"Andrew swiftly started the engine. The car drove off and stopped after moving a few meters forward. Alex came out of the car and handed the dumbfounded man a pile of cash. "Be good to your pregnant wife!" He then turned around and left.The couple remained stunned. After a split moment, the pregnant woman muttered, "Hubby, am… Am I dreaming?""Two hundred thousand…"The two looked forward again but the car had already disappeared into the distance.After a day and a night of driving, Alex finally arrived at the ocean-side town that was closest to Kidon Cit

Which is why she could not drag Noah and his mother down with her.To her surprise, Noah said, "It's our lives! If that Poole guy dares to kill you, I will beat him to death with my backhoe. We already have nothing, so why should we be afraid of him??"Jane shook her head in tears. "You don't understand, Noah. That man is merciless. You two don't have to die with me."Noah gave her a bitter smile. "You are wrong, Jane. I… Ever since I lost my son, I didn't want to live. The only reason I am alive is because I still have my mother, but how long does she have left? Back when we were staying in the mountains of South City, I planned on commiting suicide once my mother died of old age because I couldn't bear to live by myself. Jane, it was you and your unborn child that gave my widowed mother and this mid-aged man who lost a son something to look forward to. What do we have to live for if you are gone?""...""If we can't escape death, we might as well face it together. We need to sta

It had been four months since he last saw her, and she had grown thinner. Women often got fat for eating too much, whereas Jane was slim to the point that Alex could see the frail capillaries on the bridge of her nose. There were a few freckles on her face, but they didn't affect her beauty in the slightest. To say that she was beautiful would have been an understatement. More precisely speaking, she was happy. She was beaming and her sweet smile showed just how fulfilled and content she felt. But her clothes… Alex could not bear to look at the clothes that she was wearing. Jane was not short in her height, but her feet were relatively small and fitted only heels at size 36.5. And now, she sat on the stairs of the bridge and the first thing that caught Alex's attention were the oversized shoes that she was wearing. It was a pair of black tarpaulin male workers' boots with stitches layered on both sides of the shoes. The stitches were subtle but Alex had great eyesight since he was yo

She was excellent at massaging, with skills comparable to that of an expert. When she was massaging him, Alex could distinctly feel that Jane did not let her nails grow; and now, he could also see that despite her hideous and outdated outfit, her hands were beautiful. She had let her nails grow out and had trimmed them into perfect shapes. He had always wondered through all the years he had spent with Jane, all women who were inspired to be beautiful would love manicures, but why had Jane not ever gotten a manicure before? It was not until this moment that Alex finally realized that it was not that she did not like getting her nails done. It was just that when she was with him, she had to take care of him, cook for him, and cut fruits for him. For fruits that needed to be peeled, she would always do so herself, before feeding him. When she had the time, she would massage his head and his entire body; after that, she even had to wash his feet for him while massaging every acupoint on hi
