    "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 to himself.


    "You should trust Dr. Lorwhal even if you don''t trust me. From now on, you and I are nothing more than


    best friends, so don''t let your guilt weigh you down. Moreover, I''ve fully recovered from my condition. On


    the other hand, it''s you who needs to make way, or you''re only going to stress me out." Alicia smiled, her


    eyes lit up as if the two of them had gone back to the time when they first knew each other.


    Upon hearing that, Jamie finally believed that Alicia had indeed recovered from her condition. At that


    moment, he felt happy that she wished him well. "Thank you so much, Alicia." Jamie expressed his


    gratitude to Alicia.


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


    "Yeah, sure. Of course."


    In the end, Jamie sat through thepetition until the end. As Alicia said, she was an excellent rock


    climber who managed to win thepetition 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 some yogurt milk.


    Then, he slipped into her home at the interval and decided to give her a surprise. "Taa daa!"


    At that moment, Narissa was sitting on the couch when a bottle of yogurt milk suddenly fell on herp.


    The next second, she snapped out of her trance and saw Jamie sitting right next to her. "You''ve been


    craving this a long time ago, haven''t you? Come on, help yourself." Jamie wrapped his arms around her


    and nted a kiss on her cheek.


    As soon as Narissa took the yogurt milk, she asked in an absent-minded manner, "Weren''t you cooking


    at home? Howe 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 arm


    from her while stammering, "Yeah, that''s a good question. I-I was cooking. Then, I went out to the yard


    where I saw the guards. Yes, the guards. I told them to buy it for me." Jamie sighed as he exined.


    "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 out the


    door at lightning speed. "It''s about time for my lunch. Also, Raymond is going to show up anytime soon. I


    have to go, or I''m going to get exposed. See you some other time, Honey!" He disappeared in a split


    second as soon as he finished his words.


    Meanwhile, Narissa was seen with a cial look on her face, taking a sip of the yogurt milk without


    feeling happy about it. After all, she managed to catch the fragrant scent that wafted from Jamie and was


    able to identify it as Alicia''s favorite perfume.


    …


    Meanwhile, Alexander returned home after work and saw Elise glued to herptop in a serious manner.


    "What are you looking at? You seem engrossed with it." Alexander took off his jacket and ced his


    hand on the couch.


    "I''m tracking Owen''s whereabouts in the past few days," Elise replied. She then put theptop aside and


    wrapped her arms around Alexander''s neck as soon as he sat down beside her. "How was your day?


    Are you tired?"


    "Nothing unusual." Alexander had nothing much to share about his mundane lifestyle. "Did you notice


    something?" he asked.


    "Speaking of that, there is something worth paying attention to." Elise sat up straight and added, "I


    realized Owen visited a ce in the middle of nowhere around 4.00AM, and my intuition tells me that


    something can’t be right for a man to go to a ce 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 ce, but everything we


    know now is based on nothing more than our spection. For instance, we have no idea how many


    people are guarding that area, so whomever we send there is only going to find himself in danger without


    any prior preparation. Therefore, we must first think of a way to divert those people away." Elise


    appeared to have a n 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 a little


    sess. Furthermore, I just happened to receive a text from him. He wants to meet me in person


    tomorrow. I think this is a good opportunity." After hearing Elise''s words, Alexander grabbed his phone


    and ran off. "Hey, where are you going?" Elise called out to Alexander.


    "To get what I need so that I can y my part in your n."


    Without Alexander''s contribution, Elise would not seed in tricking Owen no matter how perfect her


    n might be. Soon, Alexander arrived in his study with his phone and took Owen''s eavesdropping


    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 goes wrong. Raymond and I will


    be there to receive them by then." After that, an affirmative hum was heard 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 henchmen were excited


    that they finally had the chance to have their revenge on Smith Co. as Triune had been suffering from a


    humiliating defeat by them over the past few years.


    "Rx…" Owen was sensible enough not to let the rush of excitement turn his head. "Let''s decide what


    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''s


    wrong? 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 did he


    refuse to keep mepany, but he also didn''t prepare any presents for me. He said he was too busy


    meeting a client, but honestly, I don''t believe he is that busy. I''m just not his priority. That''s all. s, 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 to you?"


    "No, he didn''t." Elise retracted her arm and continued with a confused look, "I heard him mention bringing


    some weapons and guns when he was talking on the phone earlier. Do you think he could be referring to


    the…" Elise then mouthed the word, ''guns'', silently before continuing, "Ever since we came to Wegas,


    Alexander has be a different person, and his henchmen are always armed with guns."


    Owen''s eyes brightened up when he heard that. Weapons? Smith Co.? Well, I''m pretty sure something


    big is going on now!


    Meanwhile, Elise knew their n had seeded when she saw Owen''s expression. However, she


    continued to y dumb and asked, "What am I going to do? I can''t really be of help, can I?"


    "It''s alright. You''ve helped me a lot." When Owen snapped out of his trance, he took a diamond ne


    out of his pocket and continued making up his story. "I couldn''t take my eyes off this ne when I first


    saw it in an auction. So, I decided to buy it, but it is only now that I finally understood why I did that. It''s


    all because—it''s destined to be your birthday present." He then showed the ne 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 ne like this one. "Oh, yes, of course!


    This is my first present of the day. Thank you, Owen!" Elise was forced to act as if she was really


    surprised despite her frustration.


    "Let me put it on for you." Owen circled around Elise and carefully fastened the ne around her


    neck, winking at her flirtatiously several times throughout the process. At the same time, he wasughing


    at Alexander for his foolishness, thinking thetter had no idea Elise was betraying him. Oh, poor


    Alexander. You''re going to be so surprised when you find out the one who betrays you is the woman you


    love so dearly.
