“What the heck is going on, Alex?” Edmundo Foster asked, surprised by the murderous stare emanating from Alex to the already weak and helpless Jim.


    Alex’s eyes were like coals, reddened and ovee with rage. This outrageous act of Alex was too much to his brother inw.


    Anna quickly went over and gave Alice a hand, supporting Jim to the sitting room for a seat.


    Edmundo Foster stared at the women and then at Jim. He had never seen Alex go physical like this before.


    He also knew that he disliked the man his sister married. He was not in support of the union and was not present at their wedding.


    Despite several attempts to get him to ept Jim as a member of the Foster family had proved abortive.


    But never had he exhibited this kind of act before. Edmundo Foster remained rooted at a spot, staring at his grandson.


    Alex stared at the retreating back view of Jim and a sh of killing intent rushed through his thoughts.


    He would definitely y the victim and Alice would believe him. How can she let love blinds her Sense of reasoning?


    “Is there something I need to know?” Edmundo Foster demanded and Alex simply forced a smile. He was gritting his teeth internally but didn’t want to bother his grandfather at all.


    “This is too much Alex, I will endure anything you do or say to me, but not assaulting my husband” Alice came, yelling at Alex.


    Alex just stared at her. She was furious and ring at Alex as if he was some stranger who wanted to take her treasure away.


    “It should end here. I don’t want you both to have a quarrel….”Edmundo Foster intervened.


    “Jim was only trying to plead with him to let them get acquainted with each other and the next thing, Alex started hitting him” Alice frowned.


    Alex squinted and a wicked grin appeared on his lips. He knew it, he was going to brainwash Alice and she would believe him at once.


    Her simplicity had made her be regarded as being stupid. She’s indeed stupid not to analyse whatever that rascal told her, before love makes her gulp it down.


    “Is that what he told you?”Edmundo Foster asked. Alex can’t begin to hit simply because he wants them to get acquainted together.


    “Yes, grandfather” Alice assured her grandfather and red at her brother.


    Edmundo Foster shook his head. There’s more to what Jim told his wife. Alex is not crazy to act so irrational.


    “If you dare to hit my husband again, Alex Foster, I will sue you for assault” Alice threatened.


    “That’s enough Alice. You are a Foster and I do not want anything toe between you and your brother.


    Let this end here. You are both the only heirs to the Foster family. So, I want you both to love each other. This is your home..” Edmundo tried to ease the tension between the siblings.


    He as an adult had seen beyond what Alice said. Jim might want to create a rift between the siblings.


    “I will not take this ce as my home grandfather. I cannot be in a ce where my husband is being insulted” Alice retorted.


    “I want to be alone with Alice, grandfather” Alex dered, staring at the furious expression of his sister.


    Edmundo nodded. He knew how intelligent his grandson was. He would solve whatever is the problem.


    As soon as his grandfather excused them, Alex said, word for word “If I get to find out that your husband and whoever he was working for, has a hand in dad’s death, I will make you regret every single word you uttered here”


    Alex red at his sister and for the first time, Alice saw the truth in his eyes. She suddenly went cold and wanted to say something else but Alex walked past her.


    Everyone expected to see Alex and Alice return to the sitting room, but instead, Alex walked out, without ncing at those seated with a nce.


    Edmundo Foster red at Jim with his split vision and saw he had a faint smile on his face. It appeared he likes it the way Alex walked out in fury.


    Alice soon came to the sitting room but looked less furious than she was a few minutes ago.


    “Grandfather, grandma, we will leave now, thanks for the dinner” Alice dered. She gave Jim a helping hand and raised him to his feet.


    As the couple left, Edmundo Foster and his wife Anna exchanged nces. Nothing seemed alright between the siblings.


    On the way, Alice decided to take the steering wheel. Jim was wounded and he couldn’t drive the car.


    As she drove in the direction to their home, Jim became ufortable with Alice’s sudden quietness.


    He became restless. Has Alex said anything to her? Did she get convinced by her brother?Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    He needed to act fast. He must ensure whatever they need to do must be now. Alex Foster already got to know about him and his business, his n and possibly an idea about the plot.


    “I don’t me you if you believe your brother more than you believe me. He is your brother after all” Jim said, trying to pry into Alice’s reasons for being so quiet.
