Alex's expression darkened. "Soon.""..." Garrett paused for a moment before gaping at Alex. "Master, are you going to..." He had thought that Alex was blinded by the humiliation and was planning to kill Jane.Alex rolled his eyes at Garrett. "What are you thinking about??""Master, what do you mean to do?"Alex did not answer his question directly, but instead said, "Go. Go back and find Lenny's number for me as soon as possible."Not daring to ask any more questions, Garrett simply responded with, "Yes!"He got up and followed Alex back to the car. After taking a few steps out, he turned around to gaze at the direction of Lenny's mansion. Jane and her old mother had already been taken into the mansion by Lenny.At the time, there was only one person sitting inside the mansion, and that was the woman who Alex set free earlier that morning.The young woman was one of Huron's five beautiful mistresses, and also the only woman who managed to survive. When she saw Jane coming in,

Getting his woman back was a decision that Alex had made from the moment he saw the weakened Jane helping the even weaker old woman up. He was certain that Jane would not go back with him ever again no matter what; he had also reflected on his own heart and realized that he would never love another woman again in his life."I've thought it through. In this life, I belong to Jane, alive or dead," Alex drawled carelessly."Um…" Garrett was shocked as he thought to himself, ‘Are these words really coming out of Master's mouth? These words usually come from women. Is the master really so desperate that he intends to do whatever it takes?’At that moment, Garrett found himself overwhelmed by the urge to laugh at his master for being like a woman, but he did not dare to, considering how sorrowful and depressed his master looked.After allowing himself a short while of depression, Alex turned cold and stern as he lowered his voice at Garrett, "Garrett, find me a hotel to stay in first. I

"Even I know that Master Alex still doesn't have a girlfriend."The other woman chuckled at her words. "Right, you do know everything, but do you think you qualify? Do you have any idea how high Master Alex's standards are? Do you have a bachelor’s degree or above? Do you know four different languages? Don't think that I don't know about what you have been working on; you are just an escort that accompanies men when they drink! You must be daydreaming to come back here, in hope to get your hands on Master Alex!""Why you…!"The two women came close to fighting in the restaurant. At the time, Jane was the only one in there, and was wiping the tables and chairs clean with her pregnant belly. Lenny had, indeed, been kind to her. He took her in and helped her mother settle down. On top of that, he did not even touch her at all. He simply had Jane do chores around the restaurant and promised her a monthly pay of three thousand. Jane was grateful, and had decided to remain by Lenny's side

Jane covered her cheek that was burning with pain. "Wh-why would you hit me?"Ivy snorted, "So what if I hit you? I'm hitting you because of how cheap you are! They never wanted you and you still forced yourself in here! How shameless for you to insist on staying even if you have to clean tables and wipe the floor. Who would want a pregnant woman like you??""..." Jane did not respond anymore because she knew that any resistance would only bring further torture. What she did not realize, however, was that someone was standing by the door, watching and sobbing in silence.Noah's mother leaned against the door frame and wept as she mumbled quietly, "My girl, will you be safe from all this suffering if I die? I can tell that you are a good girl who cherishes love and knows right from wrong. But the three of us can't just all die, can we? No, it's the four of us. At least one of the four of us has to survive, right? I am grateful for how much you care for me, my child, but I’m going to

"Yes!" the nurse replied.The man stepped out of the ward before taking his phone out to make a call. "Master Alex, the old lady is stable now.""Okay, come back," Alex said. He did not show himself because the old lady knew him. He could only send Garrett to comfort the old lady."Yes, Master Alex."Garrett soon returned to where Alex was staying and Alex immediately said to him, "Go check on Jane, and remember not to let her see you.""Yes, Master Alex." With that, Garrett headed to the Powell mansion.It was already deep into the night and Jane had just finished working for the entire day. She rode a scooter and went back to the mansion. She stayed in the same room as her mother, along with all the other servants on the first floor.For the past ten days that she had been working in Lenny's restaurant, her mother would always wait for her to come home from work by the door, but this time, Jane did not see her mother. She did not want her mother to see her as well because her

Lenny was not surprised when he received the call from Alex. He was the one who called Garrett saying that he needed instructions for certain matters during the day. However, when he received the call from Alex himself at that moment, he still felt frightened. It could not be helped. He just did."Why were you looking for me, Master Powell?" Alex asked."Here's the thing, Master Alex," Lenny said, stuttering the entire time. "For some reason, the people here in White Ocean City are quick to catch onto the news, they all…know that I met you once and that you are here for a business trip in White Ocean City. ""Get to the point!" Alex said impatiently."Um, there are people here in White Ocean City, all sorts of people, who…who want to welcome you here. You see… The venue for the welcoming party will be here in my restaurant. My restaurant is rather spacious, and it's legal. The drinks and food served here are excellent as well. The chef… My chef isn't too bad, as well, you…" Seeing

"Can you feel that, Jane?""..." Jane did not respond. Of course she felt it. The sensation of kicking in her stomach had been distinct. She was thin and so was the skin on her belly, so she could even see an extremely small footprint. She gently stroked her belly and, as though there was telepathy between them, the little foot kicked her again without warning as soon as her hand touched her belly.Jane grinned. "My child. My child. This… This is my baby?" She looked at the people around her in tears and everyone nodded at her."It's your baby, Jane.""Your mom did this because she doesn't want to be a burden to you. Even if it's for the baby in your belly, you need to be strong and live."The servants had not spent much time with Jane, but they were all people of low status who shared a common concern for one another. Seeing that there were so many people who cared for her, and the actual feeling that there was indeed a baby growing inside of her, Jane decided at that moment that
Chapter 1588
It had only been a little over ten days since he last saw her, and Jane's belly seemed to have grown much bigger in size. For the past ten days in White Ocean City, Alex had been quite free and, when he had nothing to do, he could, from Kidon City, consult doctors from White Ocean City and do research online by himself. He came to learn a lot about pregnant women and learnt that the further along the pregnancy, the faster the fetus would grow. Indeed, after merely ten days, Jane had changed drastically. However, she was still extremely thin and her face was still pale without any color; her clothes were still ragged, barely covering her, when in fact, it seemed that was simply because her belly had grown too big to be covered.She was holding a teapot and refilling drinks for the guests. She was clearly the odd one out as she walked around the restaurant in her state between elites of White Ocean City, especially when she came across Alex.White Ocean City was situated at the furthes
