Chapter 366 Conspiracy
Aliza’s voice quivered with suppressed emotion, casting her in a particularly sympathetic light.
Terrance regarded her, a fleeting trace of sympathy appearing in his eyes. “Aliza, you’re a good girl. Don’t worry. As long as
I’m here, I won’t let Alex mistreat you.”
“Thank you, Mr. Howe.” Aliza bowed her head, the corners of her lips twitching into a faint smile.
“Alright, Aliza. You may leave now. I need to speak with Alex,” Terrance said.
“Okay,” Aliza replied meekly and turned to leave the office.
As she closed the door behind her, the faint smile disappeared, replaced by a steely expression.
Inside the office, Terrance turned his cold gaze on Alex.
“Alex, are you still thinking about that woman?” he asked sharply.
Alex tensed; he knew his father was referring to Sadie. “Dad, I…”
“I’m warning you, Alex!” Terrance’s voice rose sharply. “If you get involved with that woman again, if you hurt Aliza, I
assure you that woman and her child will find themselves in a dire situation.”
Terrance’s words pierced Alex like icy blades.
Alex stared at his father in disbelief. “Dad, how can you say such a thing?”
“Why shouldn’t I?” Terrance retorted coldly. “Who does she think she is? What makes her worthy of you?”
“Dad! Sadie isn’t…”
“Enough!” Terrance cut him off. “I don’t want to hear another word in her defense. You’re my son. I will dictate your future,
and it involves marrying Aliza. She is the only one suitable for you, the right choice to be my daughter–in–law.”
“Dad…” Alex tried to protest, but it was clear Terrance was no longer listening.
“Enough. You may go now.” Terrance dismissed him wearily. “Remember my words; don’t disappoint me again.”
Alex looked at his father, a mixture of pain and resignation in his eyes.
He knew arguing was futile.
For Sadie’s safety, he would have to bide his time.
“I understand, Dad,” Alex said, his voice rough with emotion. “I… promise you.”
At Alex’s acquiescence, Terrance’s tense features softened slightly. He closed his eyes and massaged his temples, visibly
aged by the confrontation.
Silently, Alex left the office, closing the door gently behind him.
The hallway was deserted except for the echoing click of Aliza’s high heels against the floor.

She walked to a secluded corner, pulled out her phone, and dialed a familiar number.
The call was swiftly answered, and a middle–aged man’s deep, authoritative voice filled her ear. “Hello, Aliza.”
“Hello, Dad.” Aliza’s tone was suddenly sweet and compliant, a stark contrast to the restraint she had shown in front of
Terrance. “It’s done.”
“Really?” Her father’s voice carried a hint of excitement. “Did the Howe family fall for it?”
“Yes, they did.” Aliza’s lips twisted into a smug smile. “I presented the fabricated evidence as you instructed, and both Alex and his father believed Noah was behind everything.”
“Ha ha ha…” Elbert Perry, Aliza’s father, laughed heartily, his voice brimming with satisfaction. “Excellent! Aliza, you’ve
done well.”
A gleam of cunning flashed in Aliza’s eyes.
