Chapter 1486
Sebastian paused out of shock on the other end of the line and asked, "Alex, what did you just say?"Over on the other side, Alex had already hung up. Never had he imagined that Jane would approach him while he was talking to Sebastian. Jane knocked on the window and Andrew opened it. Without any warning, Jane had spotted Alex from outside the car.Jane seemed composed at the sight of Alex. "How many days have you been here?" she asked.Alex, on the other hand, felt as though he had been caught doing something wrong. "J--Jane…"Jane smiled miserably. "Mr. Poole, will you just give me a quick death?"It had been four months since they had seen one another and the re-encounter felt like it had been centuries. Alex felt dazed like he was in some sort of fantasy; while Jane's tone sounded as distant as though they had never met before, with no trace of the time they spent living together in the past eight years. Not to mention that she had borne his children before and was still pregn

Instead, she looked even more beautiful than before. The beauty stemmed from her composure, her pregnancy, the little freckles on her face and the fact that Alex was no longer on her mind. Back when they were together, Jane would look at Alex with eyes filled with admiration and love -- boundless love; and now, all that was left in her eyes when she looked at Alex was defensiveness and determination. She had not raised her voice at all, but her calmness resembled the terrifying peace before the storm. Even Alex did not dare to pull Jane up into his car at that very moment. He scanned Jane up and down before noticing the bag of leftovers Jane was holding in her hand."There's no need to look at it! I didn't buy these with money. The owner of the restaurant was kind enough to let me pack the leftovers to take away."Coincidentally, the entire restaurant had been booked for the afternoon by a family. The owner said that the gathering would last until late in the afternoon and asked that

Jane gazed up at Alex in contempt. "What did you say?"Suppressing his urge to hold her, to take his own jacket off and put it on her and carry her into the car, out of fear of provoking her, he responded calmly, "You were right, Jane. I've been following you for days. I was worried that I might scare you into acting frantically, so I didn't dare to approach you. I'm telling you right now, I'm not here to kill you. I'm here to take you home.""..." Jane looked at Alex. A smile appeared and disappeared repeatedly before she threw the leftovers in her hand onto the ground abruptly.The leftovers immediately started leaking out of the bag and Alex's gaze subconsciously went down to the food that was inside the bag. There were prawn shells, bones with only half the meat hanging from them, and even a piece of bread that had been chewed through halfway. His heart ached at the sight as though someone was cutting into it."This… This is what you take home to eat? Aren't these supposed to b

"Do you know that I spent two hours jumping up and down with my legs open alone in the bathroom? Do you know how many times I've washed myself? Do you know how many emergency, or long-term contraceptive pills I've taken? My body has already become immune to those, but you still won't use any protection! Haven't you realized how easily I got pregnant in the past one to two years? I wanted to bear your children, Alex, but not to the extent that I would secretly go about doing that when you are not willing to let me, only so I can threaten you with the child! I've been with you for almost eight years! I know you! An unborn child aside, even if I manage to give birth to this child, they would qualify as a leverage against you! That's the iron-clad rule of the elite community! There was the old Master decades ago; there was Sabrina's father-in-law Sean Ford and now, there's you! You are all the same! I get it, Alex! I'm not trying to blackmail you with my child! I got pregnant by accident!

Noah held onto Jane desperately. "How silly are you, Jane? Mr. Poole hasn't even said anything about killing you and you are already dead set on killing yourself. Have you thought about the child in your belly?"Jane looked at Noah in tears. "Leave! Go home! Don't bother with me. You can't help with this!""I'm yours! I am the man who's going to marry you once you give birth! How can I leave you??"‘... Are these two not even aware that I am standing right here?’ Alex thought as he approached them furiously and lifted Noah up with one hand grabbing onto the back of his collar.Noah might have seemed muscular while Alex looked slimmer, but the way Alex lifted Noah was almost as easy as picking up a tiny chick. He flung Noah to the side mercilessly and blood instantly came gushing out from the corner of Noah's mouth.Noah stared at Alex in awe and fear. He knew that this man before him was one of wealthy elites that came from Kidon City and he had only heard from Jane that he was so

"But all that had a price. I never was someone who possessed pride to begin with, and there's a price for suddenly turning my life around to live like a human being, and to attend parties dressing like a high-status lady. His ex-girlfriend came back and wanted to kill me. I was going to give up, Noah, I was, but then I realized that the only thing that gives me the pride to live on is you and Mom. You are the one that made me realize what it truly meant to have a husband. We might not have actually been together, but I think of you as my husband from the bottom of my heart. And then there's Mom. I once had parents of my own, and they are still well and alive up until this day, but they have never given me even a little warmth and love. Your mom is the only one who made cotton shoes and cotton pants for me. Two months ago, I came down with a fever. Mom was worried that it might affect the baby and, despite being of old age, she stayed up all night wiping my body with cold towels. She is

The tears in her eyes had blurred out her vision, but her expression did not reflect any fear toward Alex. She shook her head in tears and said, "I… I didn't say that you are evil, Master Alex. I… I'm just begging you to please let my Noah go. He has nothing to do with this. Nothing at all. He still has a mother to take care of. Let him go and I'll go with you. Really, I've thought it through, I'll go with you… Please… "The despair in her voice was boundless, and Alex, who was holding her chin, felt as though his heart had been crushed. At that very moment, he desperately wished that he could simply crush this woman to death right there and then."Let me ask you this. Who am I?" he gritted out."You are Master Alex, the famed Master Alex of Kidon City," she responded in tears."You and I, what are we? What are we??"The tears on Jane's face streamed down to Alex's palm. "M--Maid… I was your maid…""What else??""I… I was your… Your… Tool to satisfy your needs!" she answered in

"Die now! Get beaten to death by Alex! That lover of yours, too! Die, both of you!" Lily cursed viciously.Out on the streets, the area had been temporarily blocked, leaving only Alex's subordinates at the scene; for those who were still curious about what was happening, they could only peep out the gaps of their doors.On the street where the bone-chilling wind blew, Alex, Jane and Noah, who was lying on the ground, along with Alex's subordinates who surrounded them, were the only people left. Everyone heard Jane when she called Alex ‘Hubby’ loud and clear.These men knew their master best and could tell that Alex was truly enraged and, most importantly, insanely jealous. At that very moment, Garrett was one of the people who worried about Jane most, but what good was worrying? His master had never hesitated to take lives. Alex's lack of mercy was comparable to that of Sebastian of South City. Alex was also a man that slayed his way out of hell; taking one single life would have be
