*Those two men just now were quite powerful. Until Axel deals with them, I won’t let you go home alone.
You might be followed at any time and be in danger.”
Suddenly, Silas grabbed her wrist, holding it tightly like handcuffs. “No matter what, don’t think about leaving me tonight. I’m in charge of you now!”
On the other hand, Axel had already taken care of the two foreigners, including the group of weak bodyguards.
He beat them up and locked them in the restroom of a private room, hanging a sign outside that said, “Do
Not Disturb”..
They were all too weak for him, not even enough to warm up.
Since Axel couldn’t afford to create too much commotion, he quickly ended the fight. After all, he was in
Solana City and not abroad. He had to be cautious, given his status.
After leaving the nightclub, Axel received a call from Silas.
“It’s all settled, Silas. You can relax and enjoy some alone time with your girlfriend. They won’t bother you again,” he said, yawning.
“She’s not my girlfriend. Stop talking nonsense!” Silas sounded annoyed, with a hint of frustration.
“Tsk, tsk, do you think I’m dumb or blind? The guy who cares less about everything suddenly turns into a hero tonight. The girl knows your name and even threw herself into your arms. You two are obviously more than friends.”
Axel whistled. “What’s there to be embarrassed about? Being in a relationship is not shameful. Do you want to stay single until you’re 40? Then you’ll be called an old bachelor.”
“Axel, do me a favor.”
Silas took a deep breath. “Find out the backgrounds of those two foreigners who caused trouble for Rose tonight. We didn’t kill them. I’m afraid they might come after her again in a few days.”
na City.
“I thought of the same thing. I’ve checked, and they don’t have much of a background in Solana
They’re just high-level executives from foreign construction companies.”
“Construction companies?”
“Yeah. Your girlfriend has quite a wide range of connections.”
Axel smirked. “Tonight, I’ll have some gossip to share with Lyse.”
“If you don’t want to cause trouble for Lyse, don’t mention a word about tonight’s events to her.”
Silas’ voice turned serious. “Rose is Lyse’s best friend. If you tell Lyse, it will only make her worry, and she won’t be able to sleep well.”
Hearing that, Axel was shocked. “Wow! A close friend.”
“Close your foot! I’m hanging up!”
After that, Silas really hung up the phone.
Axel sneered and then pulled out a sophisticated, palm-sized, ultra-thin notebook computer from his pocket.
Such cutting-edge technology was a standard issue for high-level operatives like them, but it was nearly impossible to obtain domestically.
With this high-tech gadget, he could investigate many things.
So, Axel investigated the license plate number of the luxury car. Soon, he had an answer.
“A car under the Schmidt Group’s name? Interesting.”
When Axel looked at the investigation results, he recalled the face that resembled Alyssa’s. He narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Ms. Altman, who are you really working for? Josh? David? Or Jameson?”
Meanwhile, Silas forcefully brought Rose back to his house in Solana City.
Surprisingly, the second son of the Taylor family didn’t have his own villa in the city. He lived in a single- story house with simple decorations, which was quite unexpected for Rose.
“You can stay in this room.”
Silas brought Rose to the door of a spacious room. “There’s a bathroom inside, and my pajamas are in the wardrobe. If you don’t mind, you can make do for one night.”
“Why are you so stubborn?” Rose sighed in frustration.
“Because you’re Lyse’s best friend. I can’t just leave you outside.
“Madam-
“Don’t worry. I won’t mention tonight’s events to Lyse. I don’t want her to worry any more than you do.”
When Rose heard that, her tense heart finally eased a bit.
After years of companionship, Alyssa was no longer just the mentor who brought her a glimmer of hope in adversity. She was not only a friend but also a family. Rose didn’t want to make Alyssa worry or cause her trouble.
Just then, Rose’s phone rang.
She glanced at the screen, and her eyes darkened. As she clenched the phone, her knuckles turned white.
Seeing her mood turn low, Silas tactfully exited the room and closed the door.
However, he lingered nearby, eavesdropping on the conversation.
He knew it wasn’t the best thing to do, but for some reason, he felt a strong desire to care for her.
Besides, he could tell that, from the nightclub onward, Rose hadn’t told him a single truth, no matter how he asked. As a prosecutor for many years, he had developed sharp insight. So, her guarded thoughts were transparent to him.
In the room, Rose hesitated for a while before reluctantly answering the call.
“Dad.”
“What happened tonight?”
Rose’s father, George Emerson, spoke through the phone. It lacked warmth and emotion and was filled only with the usual questioning tone and anger.
“Something happened, so the drinking session ended early,” Rose replied in a low voice.
“What thing? Don’t you know what’s important?”
At this moment, a sarcastic voice from a woman echoed from the other end. It was George’s wife, Lydia
Carney.
“I told you so. How could she obediently help you? You’re lucky if she doesn’t squander everything you have.”
Rose tightly clenched her fists, her face turning as pale as a sheet.
There was one thing that nobody knew, not even Alyssa-Rose was the illegitimate daughter of George
Emerson, the chairman of the Emerson Group. However, her Identity had never been acknowledged by
