Chapter 1053 Let Him Be Damned
After the New Year celebration, Jenny spent most of her time caring for Evan in his villa.
Occasionally, Alec would invite them over for dinner. Life was overall good.
After the holidays, everyone went back to work. Alec's appointment as the CEO of the
Faust Group was explosive news, but at least it put an end to the fight over the position.
The stock price soared, proving that everyone had confidence in him.
Meanwhile, Alec wasn't too bothered by the harassment from the other families. To him,
those were mere inconveniences that needed some time to be settled. After he took over
the Faust Group, the Watkins didn't make any move on him. After all, Blake needed to
work hand-in-hand with Alec, and it wouldn't make sense to go against him.
In the afternoon, Alec was busy at work when he received a call from Blake, who
requested to meet up.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me over the phone. I’m busy." He was reluctant to be
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtin contact with her. He really was busy and didn't want to cause unnecessary
misunderstandings.
"I thought you wanted to catch that man? I'll hand him over to you." She had interrogated
the man in her hands, but he was tight-lipped and didn't reveal any information. In that
case, she'd rather hand him over to Alec as a favor.
He furrowed his brow and considered her offer. Then, he agreed, "Where are you? I'll come
over."
"At the villa. You know where it is." When Alec lost his memories, he woke up in that villa
of hers. Hence, he should know the address.
He hung up and left for Blake's villa from the Faust Group office in a hurry. After the New
Year, he planned to have Dr. Gaarder tend to Evan's injuries because he'd never allow
Jenny to stay by Evan's side forever.
It didn't take long before he arrived at the villa. He entered the place and saw that Blake
had brought the man to the living room-he was covered in injuries.
Alec stared at him for a while as the frown on his face deepened. "Have you interrogated
him?"
"Yeah. But he's tight-lipped. He refused to say a word." She shrugged, indicating that she
had tried her best. Alec wasn't surprised by the outcome, knowing that a man like the one
Blake captured was ready to die at anytime, and asking for clues would be tougher than
landing on the moon.
Alec wasn't too concerned with the failed interrogation because he was sure the
investigation would bear fruit over time.
He waved toward his back, and the men who came with him brought the captive away. "I'll
bring him with me."
"Sure. But don't forget about what you promised me," Blake reminded him- she wasn't
doing him a favor for nothing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I always keep my promise. If you want to take over the Watkins family, you have to be
familiar with what is going on. You need to at least give me a loophole to work on," he
suggested.
Blake understood his words and felt assured when she realized that he wouldn't walk back
on his words. "Sure. I'll find that loophole for you."
Without saying more, he left her villa. On his way home, he recalled the face of the man
who Blake captured, and his expression fell. The man had typical foreign features and was
clearly not a Clusian. Could the mastermind be a foreigner?
"No, that doesn't sound right. The mastermind could be a local with foreigners working for
them," he thought.
Almost instantly, Evan Clarke's face appeared in his mind. The only person with a huge
army of foreign subordinates would be Evan. Alec recalled the scene where Evan refused
to let Dr. Gaarder check the injuries and felt that he had arrived at the truth.
If his guess was correct, let Evan be damned!
