Chapter 225 Someone Important Is Coming
Jessica became nervous when she saw how her mother interrogated Alex. All this will be for naught ifshe discovered the truth!
“Mom, I told you. Alex is the company’s manager, and his monthly salary is over a million,” lied Jessicainstantly before Alex got a chance to reply.
Everyone gasped. A salary of over a million? Oh my gosh!
That manager was a lot better off than most business owners.
At that moment, everyone stared at Alex with envy shining in their eyes.
Jessica was exasperated when she saw her relative’s reaction. How much shock would they be in ifthey learn about his true identity?
Kitty regained her composure after her daughter reminded her.
It didn’t matter who Alex was. It wasn’t the right time or place to learn about it.
Kitty took a deep breath and settled her nerves before saying, “The deputy director general and theothers are here, so let’s have dinner now.”
“Alright, let’s go,” said Victoria as she nodded. She then walked towards the hall with Jessica and herdaughter’s help.
Zachariah rushed out of the hall grimly after he heard that his father had arrived. That was not a placehe wanted to stay in either. In fact, Zachariah thought that he would die of high blood pressure if he
stayed for too long, because his rival was on a whole other level. That asshole is too good at putting upan act. Given the mystery surrounding his identity, I believe even my dad can’t deal with the guy.novelbin
Zachariah’s heart was shattered, and he no longer had the confidence to court Jessica. His heart wasdead. It was basically killed by Alex.
“Mom, didn’t you say that Mr. Wells will be here too? Should we wait for a little longer before we servedinner?” asked Jessica’s aunt.
“He said that he would be late and told us to start without him, so let’s just go ahead with it,” answeredVictoria.
The host’s family walked to the hall and saw that Jessica’s uncles were chatting with a few people.Among them was a middle–aged man standing beside Zachariah. That was the deputy director generalof Airedale’s police department, Zane Hayes.
The other middle–aged man standing beside them was Presley Burch, who was also an importantfigure and was Zane’s old pal. When he heard Zane say that Zachariah would be asking for Jessica’shand in marriage, Presley decided to go see the show. As such, he went under the pretense to wishVictoria a happy birthday.
Zane and Presley approached and wished the birthday celebrant a good year when they saw herwalking out. They exchanged some small talks after that.
Zane and Presley hadn’t seen Victoria, who had retired for over a decade, so they didn’t think muchabout her change in appearance.

The tradition dictated that thebirthday celebrant would take the head of the seat and the two most important guests would sit on eachof her side. The other important guests would take their seats according to the family’s arrangement.The kids and other guests would sit at the other tables.
Zane walked to the seat on the right side of the birthday celebrant’s seat without being invited or askedto. However, the birthday celebrant gestured the seat to her left and informed politely, “Mr. Hayes, thisis your seat.”
Zane was momentarily stunned, and his eyes shone with surprise and discontentment, but he grinnedand took the second–most important seat, anyway.
“Mr. Wells said that he would drop by later today, Mr. Hayes, so…” clarified Ronald Hudson quickly
