"Are you doubting Dr. Lorwhal's professionalism?" Alicia responded helplessly.

"Well, you have a point. Zephyr is the best doctor there is without question.” Jamie murmured tohimself.

"You should trust Dr. Lorwhal even if you don't trust me. From now on, you and I are nothing morethan best friends, so don't let your guilt weigh you down. Moreover, I've fully recovered from mycondition. On the other hand, it's you who needs to make way, or you're only going to stress meout.” Alicia smiled, her eyes lit up as if the two of them had gone back to the time when they firstknew each other.

Upon hearing that, Jamie finally believed that Alicia had indeed recovered from her condition. Atthat moment, he felt happy that she wished him well. “Thank you so much, Alicia.” Jamie expressedhis gratitude to Alicia.

"You're welcome." Alicia reacted like she was coaxing a child. "So, can I carry on with mycompetition?”

"Yeah, sure. Of course.”

In the end, Jamie sat through the competition until the end. As Alicia said, she was an excellent rockclimber who managed to win the competition and walked away with the prize. When it was over,both of them parted ways, whereupon Jamie went to Narissa's favorite shop and bought her someyogurt milk. Then, he slipped into her home at the interval and decided to give her a surprise. "Taadaa!"

At that moment, Narissa was sitting on the couch when a bottle of yogurt milk suddenly fell on herlap. The next second, she snapped out of her trance and saw Jamie sitting right next to her. "You'vebeen craving this a long time ago, haven't you? Come on, help yourself." Jamie wrapped his armsaround her and planted a kiss on her cheek.

As soon as Narissa took the yogurt milk, she asked in an absent-minded manner, "Weren't youcooking at home? How come you have a bottle of yogurt milk here?"

Damn it! My cover is blown. Jamie acted restless as if there were ants in his pants, retracting his armfrom her while stammering, "Yeah, that's a good question. I-I was cooking. Then, I went out to theyard where I saw the guards. Yes, the guards. I told them to buy it for me." Jamie sighed as heexplained.

"The guards?” Narissa looked at the man as if she was interrogating a criminal.

"Yeah." Jamie didn't dare to look Narissa in the eye. "It cost me quite a lot of money.”

"Are you sure?" Narissa sensed something wrong with Jamie.

"Oh shoot!" Jamie started to panic and stood up anxiously. After pausing for a second, he ran outthe door at lightning speed. "It's about time for my lunch. Also, Raymond is going to show upanytime soon. I have to go, or I'm going to get exposed. See you some other time, Honey!" Hedisappeared in a split second as soon as he finished his words.

Meanwhile, Narissa was seen with a glacial look on her face, taking a sip of the yogurt milk withoutfeeling happy about it. After all, she managed to catch the fragrant scent that wafted from Jamieand was able to identify it as Alicia's favorite perfume.

Meanwhile, Alexander returned home after work and saw Elise glued to her laptop in a seriousmanner. "What are you looking at? You seem engrossed with it." Alexander took off his jacket andplaced his hand on the couch.

"I'm tracking Owen's whereabouts in the past few days," Elise replied. She then put the laptop asideand wrapped her arms around Alexander's neck as soon as he sat down beside her. "How was yourday? Are you tired?"

"Nothing unusual.” Alexander had nothing much to share about his mundane lifestyle. "Did younotice something?" he asked.

"Speaking of that, there is something worth paying attention to." Elise sat up straight and added, "Irealized Owen visited a place in the middle of nowhere around 4.00AM, and my intuition tells methat something can't be right for a man to go to a place like that at an ungodly hour."

"I see. Let's get Raymond to do a little scouting around that area then,” Alexander replied.

"No, we can't do that. I understand something doesn't seem right about that place, but everythingwe know now is based on nothing more than our speculation. For instance, we have no idea howmany people are guarding that area, so whomever we send there is only going to replace himself indanger without any prior preparation. Therefore, we must first think of a way to divert those peopleaway." Elise appeared to have a plan to handle the situation.

"Are you thinking of creating a distraction?" Alexander seemingly knew what was in Elise’s mind.Elise nodded. "Owen has been listening in for quite a while, and it's about time to let him taste alittle success. Furthermore, I just happened to receive a text from him. He wants to meet me inperson tomorrow. I think this is a good opportunity.” After hearing Elise's words, Alexander grabbedhis phone and ran off. "Hey, where are you going?" Elise called out to Alexander.

"To get what I need so that I can play my part in your plan.”

Without Alexander's contribution, Elise would not succeed in tricking Owen no matter how perfecther plan might be. Soon, Alexander arrived in his study with his phone and took Owen'seavesdropping device from the signal jammer. Then, he held his cell phone near his mouth and said,"That's right. The goods will arrive tomorrow night, and it's important to make sure nothing goeswrong. Raymond and I will be there to receive them by then." After that, an affirmative hum washeard shortly before the eavesdropping device was shut down.

In the meantime, Owen and his henchmen were excited when they learned about the news. "Mr.Morgan, Raymond is Smith Co.'s best fighter, which means this is a huge deal.” Owen's henchmenwere excited that they finally had the chance to have their revenge on Smith Co. as Triune had beensuffering from a humiliating defeat by them over the past few years.

"Relax..." Owen was sensible enough not to let the rush of excitement turn his head. "Let's decidewhat to do after I sound Anastasia out tomorrow.” It's always better to have insurance.

"What a wise move, Mr. Morgan!"

The next day, Owen and Elise met up at a cafe. As soon as Elise sat down, she let out a sigh. "What'swrong? Did Alexander piss you off again?” Owen acted as if he cared about Elise.

"Today is my birthday, but Alexander said he had some business to attend to and left. Not only didhe refuse to keep me company, but he also didn't prepare any presents for me. He said he was toobusy meeting a client, but honestly, I don't believe he is that busy. I'm just not his priority. That's all.Alas, it hurts!" Elise covered her face and pretended to be heartbroken.

"Well, since you're sure you don't love him anymore, you should just let him go and move on."Owen comforted Elise and asked, "Who is that client by the way? Did Alexander mention that toyou?"

"No, he didn't." Elise retracted her arm and continued with a confused look, "I heard him mentionbringing some weapons and guns when he was talking on the phone earlier. Do you think he couldbe referring to the..." Elise then mouthed the word, “guns’, silently before continuing, "Ever since wecame to Wegas, Alexander has become a different person, and his henchmen are always armed withguns.”

Owen's eyes brightened up when he heard that. Weapons? Smith Co.? Well, I'm pretty suresomething big is going on now!

Meanwhile, Elise knew their plan had succeeded when she saw Owen's expression. However, shecontinued to play dumb and asked, "What am I going to do? I can't really be of help, can 1?"

"It's alright. You've helped me a lot.” When Owen snapped out of his trance, he took a diamondnecklace out of his pocket and continued making up his story. "I couldn't take my eyes off thisnecklace when I first saw it in an auction. So, I decided to buy it, but it is only now that I finallyunderstood why I did that. It's all because—it's destined to be your birthday present." He thenshowed the necklace along with its case to Elise. "Happy Birthday. Do you like it?"

Seriously? Only a girl who hasn't seen the world will fall for a necklace like this one. "Oh, yes, ofcourse! This is my first present of the day. Thank you, Owen!" Elise was forced to act as if she wasreally surprised despite her frustration.

"Let me put it on for you." Owen circled around Elise and carefully fastened the necklace around herneck, winking at her flirtatiously several times throughout the process. At the same time, he waslaughing at Alexander for his foolishness, thinking the latter had no idea Elise was betraying him.Oh, poor Alexander. You're going to be so surprised when you replace out the one who betrays you isthe woman you love so dearly.
