Chapter 457 You Know the Consequences of Lying
“Okay.”
Terrence nodded, his eyes shining. He wanted to work overtime tonight to finish his work, but Alexa did not allow him to continue working.
“It’s getting late. Time to sleep.”
She directly pressed Terrence onto the bed with determination.
“I heard from Edwin that you have been working for two days and two nights?”
“Why did Edwin tell you everything?”
Terrence’s tone sounded a little upset and aggrieved.
“Don’t try to distract me!”
“OK, OK, OK.” Terrence nodded repeatedly and immediately admitted his mistake.
“I know I was wrong. I won’t do such a thing again.”
“Come back with me tomorrow.” Alexa got under the covers and cuddled him. ‘ Nothing is more important than you.” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“OK.”
Terrence could completely relax in front of her. This was also the only night when he could relax in so many days.
With Alexa by his side, he quickly fell asleep.
Yet, Alexa didn’t feel like sleeping at all.
She had to sleep on her own bed. When she got to a strange place, it was harder for her to fall asleep.
Seeing that Terrence had fallen asleep, Alexa quietly got up and left the room.
Edwin was still standing outside the door. When he saw Alexa, there was no surprise in his eyes.
“Mrs. Ramsey.”
“I added some soothing incense to the flower. He should be able to sleep well tonight.”
Alexa’s tone was still gentle, “Please help me take care of Terrence. Just call me if there is anything.”
“Mrs. Ramsey, I can deal with those things. Why do you…”
“It doesn’t matter.” She smiled politely.
Ten minutes later, Alexa arrived at Enigma Bar.
In the dark alley, a group of bodyguards was guarding someone, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
When they saw Alexa, they all respectfully nodded and called, “Ms. Duran.”
When Zeke saw her, he immediately put on a fierce look.
“Alexa, how dare you hit me! You…”
Before he could finish speaking, a loud slap directly landed on his face.
Alexa glanced at him coldly and grabbed his hair hard.
“Tell me, what are you doing here?” she asked with a grin. “Are you following me?”
“It’s none of your business!”
“Still talking tough? This is not a good habit.”
Alexa casually moved his feet, and the sharp heel directly crushed the back of his hand.
Zeke was in so much pain that his veins stood out, but he forced himself to keep silent.
“Am I too kind to you?”
Alexa clicked her tongue with dissatisfaction and her expression became grimmer.
For several moments, Zeke felt that the woman in front of him was much more terrible than Terrence.
“Are you involved in the cooperation of the French branch of the Hudson Group about illegal money laundering?”
Before Zeke answered, Alexa said with a gloomy voice.
“I’ll give you one last chance. You should know the consequences of lying.” Zeke was terrified instantly.
“I didn’t know they would do this either.”
“You didn’t know?”
Alexa slapped him with a backhand, not believing Zeke’s nonsense at all.
“How dare you dare to earn this kind of evil money? Damn it!”
“Ms. Duran, what should we do next?” The person next to him asked.
Zeke was no longer of any value to her.
“Transfer the evidence to the prosecutor and handle the legal process.”
The next day, when Alexa went back with Terrence, the media just happened to expose Zeke’s matter.
The matter of money laundering involved the Duran family and the Ramsey family. It instantly attracted public attention.
However, Alexa had already cut ties with Zeke, so the Duran Group was not affected.
Yet, Nina was a lot more heartless than her.
She exposed what Zeke had done before. Given what he had done wrong, he would be sentenced to eight or nine years in jail. Alexa had just arrived at the company when Isobel was waiting for her at the door of the office.
She did not throw a tantrum like before.
Instead, she asked with a gloomy face. “You sent Zeke into prison. What’s in it for you?”
“Nothing.” Alexa shrugged indifferently. “I’m happy to do it.”
“You…”
Isobel was so angry that she choked.
She originally wanted to make a fuss of Alexa’s answer, but instantly, she was rendered speechless.
“Don’t forget you. My brother made a will. Zeke is a member of the Duran family.”
“So what?” Alexa slightly raised his brows. “He committed a crime against the law. Even if he is a member of the Duran family, he cannot be covered up.”
“He was framed by someone else. Zeke is young. What does he know?”
“He is already an adult. How young can he be?”
Alexa did not want to deal with Isobel anymore.
So, she said coldly, “You can try sad fishing in front of Nina. It won’t work on me.”
Isobel’s face was gloomy, and she did not dare to speak.
After Zeke’s accident, she almost turned to all the connections around her for help.
However, due to Alexa, no one dared to help her.
“Just wait and see!” Isobel cursed angrily, “Alexa, you’ll be doomed sooner or later!”
“You have said this many times,” Alexa replied languidly. “I am waiting.”
The news of Isobel leaving Alexa’s office with tears quickly spread throughout the company.
However, because Isobel had previously lashed out at the company and made many enemies, this time, Alexa gained a lot of support.
After the board meeting, Alexa did not intend to stay in the company to work overtime.
Quinlan Howe teased her.
“Ms. Duran, are you not going to discuss the contract today?”
“No.” Alexa had a smile on her face as if she had just fallen in love.
“My husband is waiting downstairs,” she said. “I have to go downstairs to meet him early.”
“Tsk.” Quinlan was full of envy. “You’re so happy. You’ve been married for so many years, but you are still so intimate.”
“Marriage must be well managed.”
After Alexa said that, a colleague passing by smiled and reminded her.
“Ms. Duran, Mr. Ramsey is waiting downstairs.”
“Okay, I’ll go downstairs now.”
Alexa did not expect Terrence to make such a big scene. He leaned against the car, holding a bouquet of red roses in his arms.
Even if he stood there doing nothing, he would draw the crowd’s attention.
The new interns in the company were already whispering.
Alexa even heard the girls’ envious exclamation.
She quickened her pace and walked over. Terrence leaned over slightly and handed the flowers to her.
“What’s the occasion today?” Alexa thought for a while. “What anniversary is it?”
“To pick you up from work, of course, is a memorable event.”
“Haven’t you been here before?”
Terrence opened the car door for her.
“As long as I can make you happy, every day is worth remembering.”
Terrence’s romance was always precise and grand, and Alexa was really unable to refuse this kind of sincere and passionate love.
“I’ve booked the restaurant for tonight,” he said, “It’s the French restaurant you like.”
“Don’t you need to work tonight?”
“The lawyers are in charge of the Hudson Group. It may take a bit of time.”
“Okay.”
Alexa was about to enjoy the night with Terrence when Thalia suddenly called her.
Alexa, Ms. Molina is drunk at my bar. Will you come and take a look?”
