Chapter 254 Let Bygones Be Bygones
“Mrs. Ramsey.” Carissa brushed her hair and greeted Rebekah politely.
However, Carissa’s actions were particularly rigid.
“Ms. Barrell, you are really a rare guest. I heard that the Barrell family has been working with HudsonGroup recently. Congratulations,” Rebekah said.
“I’ll have to thank Mr. Ramsey for giving me this opportunity.”
“However, I heard that you also work with the Powell family.”
“It is just about business.”
Seeing that the atmosphere had become somewhat serious, Rebekah did not keep asking more aboutthis but suddenly changed the topic.
“Alexa regards you as her friend. If you are free, I’ll be glad if you can visit us more.”
“Mrs. Ramsey, thank you for your invitation.”
After a few words, Carissa found an excuse and left the office.
Walking out of the Hudson Group building, Carissa made a call expressionlessly.
“They seem to have discovered it. You guys should think of a way as soon as possible.” Carissa ruffledher hair in frustration.
“Yes, I got it,” the one on the other end of the phone replied calmly.
Carissa panicked a little. She said, “You have to do what you promised me. Otherwise, I will…”
“We know. The money has been transferred to your account. Check it.”
Carissa couldn’t wait to check the transfer message. Sure enough, the money had been transferred toher account.
“You have got the money. I will tell you what to do next.”
“Alright…”
At the same time, Alexa entered St. Paolo Hotel and was heading to the reserved room.
Unexpectedly, Alexa happened to meet Terrence.
“Terrence, why are you here? Where is Damarion?”
Terrence did not answer Alexa’s question but turned to Edwin.
Terrence said, “Send her back.”
“Terrence, what are you doing?” Alexa asked discontentedly, “Why are you sending me back?”
“I booked this hotel today,” Terrence said.
“I have an appointment with my client. Terrence, don’t stop me.”
“The top floor, right? I’ll go.”
“What’s wrong with you?”
Alexa didn’t understand what was going on. Edwin reminded her politely and then asked someone tosend her out of the hotel.
After confirming that Alexa was safely in the car, Terrence went upstairs.
In the luxurious private room on the top floor, Jovan was already waiting impatiently.
Jovan saw that the person who came was Terrence, and a hint of doubt flashed through his eyes.
“Mr. Clough,” Terrence spoke in neither servile nor overbearing manner.
“Why is it you?”
Jovan narrowed his eyes viciously, crossed his legs arrogantly, and leaned against the back of thechair.
“The person I want to see today is not you.”
“Of course, I know.” Terrence sat down in front of Jovan calmly. “But the only person you can see todayis me.”
“Heh.”
Jovan laughed coldly, and without any etiquette, he picked up his coffee cup and took a big sip.
“You young people are really interesting.” Jovan clapped his hands repeatedly and said, “Alexa andKieran cheated on you, and you actually let bygones be bygones. You are really large–minded.”
Terrence was not affected by Jovan’s provocation at all. He still had a faint smile on his face as hestared at Jovan intently.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed through Jovan’s eyes, and it was obvious that he was more on guardagainst Terrence.
“I came to New York today for no other reason. I have a nephew named Conley. He is the treasure ofhis parents. He came to New York a while ago to meet Alexa, but there is no news from him now,”Jovan said smilingly.
Hearing the words, Terrence silently gripped the handle of the chair, his eyes filled with coldness.
“His parents were also worried, so I came to look for him. I wonder if you know about this.”
“I don’t know, I haven’t seen Conley.”
“Well… There’s no need for such polite words between us.” Jovan burst into laughter.
“You should call the police if he is missing. We’re not the police,” Terrence replied unhurriedly.
“In New York, the only person I can trust is you.”
“Speaking of which, there is something else I also want to ask.”
Terrence shook his wine glass in a noble manner and looked coldly at the dark red wine in the glass.
“Since my wife came back to the country, there have been people who keep inquiring about herschedule and even frequently interfering with her company’s business…”
Jovan’s face gradually darkened, and his dark face was filled with a strong hostility.
“Oh? How could there be such a thing? Who did that?” Jovan asked despite knowing the answer.
“I’m also very curious.” Terrence chuckled. “Moreover, I’m a narrow–minded person. I won’t bear to seesuch a thing.”
“Yes, yes.” Jovan nodded with a fake smile.
In less than half an hour, Terrence ended his conversation with Jovan.
Not long after Terrence left, Jovan was so furious that he flipped through the table.
“Mr. Clough!”
The subordinates all lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.
“Mr. Clough, I’ll bring some people to kill him,” Kendrick Barker, Jovan’s assistant, said through grittedteeth.
“Stop!” Jovan roared furiously, and his lungs were about to explode from anger. “Terrence, this bastard,dares to shout in front of me!”
“Mr. Clough, in my opinion, he must know Conley’s whereabouts.”
“I knew it before you told me!”
Jovan stood in front of the window and took a sip of the coffee that was about to go cold. Suddenly, hethought of something. In the blink of an eye, he smashed the priceless coffee cup into pieces.
“Terrence, Alexa…” Jovan sneered cruelly, “I’ll spare your lives for now. Sooner or later, I’ll make youpay the price!”
At this time, Edwin had sent Alexa downstairs of the Hudson Group building. He did not expect to see awhite BMW.
“Stop the car.”
Alexa ordered as she hurriedly pushed open the door and got out of the car.
“Carissa!”
A moment later, the driver’s window of the BMW slowly rolled down.
Carissa had cried just now. Although she had put on makeup, her eyes were still red and swollen.
After seeing Alexa, Carissa felt even more guilty.
“Alexa, you’re here too?” Carissa subconsciously explained, “I just came to a business talk. I didn’texpect to meet Damar.”
Seeing that Alexa did not speak, Carissa forced a smile.
Carissa added, “Your son is very cute, and he looks like you.”
“Carissa, why do you look so haggard? Did you run into some trouble recently? Do you want to tellme?” Alexa said gently and patiently.
“No, what trouble can I encounter?” Carissa waved her hand and changed the topic in the blink of aneye. “Maeve has recently gained the title of the best actress. Do you know about this?”
“Yes, she told me on the phone.”
“It turned out that she called you.”novelbin
The smile on Carissa’s face faded, and she could barely keep the faint smile.
“She didn’t even call me. Maybe she has been too busy recently.”
