Chapter 1010

On the other hand, Wendy and Owen quickly kept quiet when they heard voices from theireavesdropping device. A few minutes later, they heard Alexander arguing with Anastasia as thecomputer played their voices.

"Alright, now only two of us are here, so you could drop your pretense. Do you know howdisgusting you are?”

"No one turns me down whenever I ask for something.”

"Don't you dare to touch me, Alexander! Stay away from me!" Slap!

"What's wrong with you? You used to be gentle and thoughtful, but you are not anymore now.""That's right. I'm not the gentlewoman you love. Isn't Elise your dream girl? Go replace her then!"Bang! After the door was shut with a loud bang, a lady's crying voice was heard. "Take the purseaway! I don't need you to buy me anything else again!" It went silent on the other side as soon asthe conflict ended, and Owen reckoned Elise must have thrown her purse to a corner where thereception was poor. Thus, he turned off the laptop, thinking there was nothing else he could learnfrom the eavesdropping.

On the other hand, Wendy was satisfied with what she heard. "Good. Now that we can listen in onevery move Alexander plans, we will no longer have to be afraid of falling for his traps.”

Owen shared her feelings and said, "I'm going to take back everything Smith Co. took from me inthe next two years!"

"Of course!" She nodded. "By the way, it seems that the specialists working at BJ Biotech are morethan we expected, so you and I need to be extra careful when dealing with that matter. We don'twant to appear on the Mesdran police's radar.”

"Don't worry, I thought about that a long time ago. Knowing the number of our targets will make ithard for us to take them all down. I'm planning to split them up and single them out," he stated hisintention confidently.

"Good. This matter may be important, but we must also not forget to hold on to Anastasia. Awoman is more likely to be seduced by a man with an attractive physique, so it's worth makingsacrifices if necessary. Then, you'll have her heart soon enough.” Wendy reminded him solemnly."Don't worry about that, Miss Jennings. I'll take care of the matter as soon as possible.” Owenresponded affirmatively. He believed that Anastasia would fall in love with him the moment theyshared an intimate moment. Moreover, he claimed he was as physically capable as he had beenback in university.

On the other hand, Alexander put the eavesdropping device near the signal jammer once again,ending their covert surveillance.

"Did you hear that? Owen is ready to seduce me. As far as I'm concerned, he has a pretty attractivephysique. For that, I'd feel threatened if I were you." Elise chuckled cheekily.

"Leave the lights on later. I will make you see which of our physiques is more attractive.” Alexanderthen carried Elise in his arms and walked toward the bedroom, rendering the lady speechless.

The following day, Camren suddenly barged in when they were having their breakfast. As the firstperson who noticed his presence, Elise asked, "What brings you here, Mr. Abbott?"

Camren was standing there like normal at first, but when he saw Ariel coming his way, he quicklycovered his chest and acted as if he was sick and weak. "I'm sorry to bother you guys, but I heardthere is a doctor who stays with you all, which is why I have come to seek help.”

"What's wrong with you?" Ariel got up from her seat and helped Camren walk to the couch. Despiteher animosity towards Rylantha, Ariel was obligated by her conscience and honor to assist her ill"father.

"I don't feel well. My back and legs are so sore that I couldn't sleep well the last few days.” Camrenleaned on the couch and pretended to look unwell.

"I'm the doctor you're looking for. Let me do a quick check-up on you." Zephyr responded politelyto Camren, but as soon as he was done with the check-up, he didn't seem to detect anything wrongwith the old man's health. "Are you sure you've suffered from insomnia for the past few days?""Yes, I am." Camren nodded repeatedly. "The years have probably caught up with me and taken atoll on my body. Maybe my days are numbered.”

"What are you talking about?" Ariel was helpless and annoyed when she heard Camren's words."Would you please come over with me, Miss Whitney," Zephyr told Ariel to follow him.

As soon as Ariel was gone, Alexia came closer to Camren with a glass of warm water, trying toinvestigate what was happening. "Here, have some water, Sir."

Camren's eyes brightened up when he saw the girl. "Aw! Who's this pretty little girl?" Wishing hecould have an adorable granddaughter like Alexia, Camren seized the child's hand before she couldreact. "What do you say if you become my granddaughter?”

"So, does that mean you'll give me some pocket money?" she asked. After all, she had recently seenthe importance of money. She realized how her wealthy parents provided them with a comfortablelife and how her older brother could do what he loved. For that, she didn't want to miss any chanceof making herself some money, tempted to have her own savings.

"Of course. Not only will I give you some pocket money, but I will also give you some gifts duringChristmas," he coaxed the child happily.

"Alright then!" Alexia happily agreed, but soon, she sensed something wrong and looked at Elise."Can I, Mommy?"

"Do as you please, but do you like Grandpa Camren?" However, Elise didn't seem to object to herdaughter's request.

"Yes, I do!"

"Alright, go ahead then.”

"Grandpa Camren.”

"Aw!" Camren's heart melted when he heard what Alexia called him.

"That's not how a patient should look like.” Ariel doubted Camren's reaction, especially when shesaw his rosy cheeks.

"You know what? You're right, actually.” Zephyr added, "Mr. Abbott doesn't look like he's beensuffering from insomnia.”

"What do you mean?" She was puzzled, but shortly after that, it quickly dawned on her. "Are yousaying he is actually fine?"

"Well, not exactly. I'd say his mind is the root cause of his condition, and the only way to fix it is tofocus on the cause. For that, the key lies within you." He made his point ambiguously and waved hishand before leaving. "Enjoy, everyone. I'd like to get on with my own business for now."

Soon, Ariel angrily walked up to Camren with her arms folded in front of her chest. "Do you thinklying to us about being ill was fun? Are you a child or something? Leave now!"

"Who says I'm pretending? That doctor seems young, and with his limited experience, he mighthave failed to detect any hidden illness within me. It's not like he has an x-ray vision that could helphim see through what's inside my body.” He shamelessly talked his way out and pretended to faint."Wait for a second. I'm starting to feel dizzy now. I can't leave now. It looks like I will have to stayhere for now."

"No way. You will leave now!" Ariel appeared to be adamant.

"No, I'm not going to leave. Why should I? My god-granddaughter hasn't said anything?" Camrenlaid back on the couch and pretended to look ill.

"Are you going to leave or not? If you are not, I will—"

"Relax. Relax, Honey. Take it easy and hear me out.” When she was going to chase the old manaway, Danny pulled her aside. "That's enough, Honey. Why are you so mean to your dad? He'salways loved you; he enjoys staying with all of us. So, why can't you go along with him?"

"No way. Who will clear the mess if Rylantha returns to us because of him? I'll get mom here andsee if he is still stubborn.” Ariel stomped off to look for her mother.

Having done all that he could help Camren with, Danny could only turn his attention to his father-in-law and remind him to be careful. "Oops, my mom is going to be here soon. You're on your own,Dad."

"Don't worry. I have plans to handle that.” Camren sat up straight and confidently.
