Chapter 1006
After Elise separated the both of them, she went back home to Alexander. At that moment, Alexander was on the phone. When he saw Elise, he quickly hung up the phone and greeted her.
"How is it? Are they getting better?" asked Alexander.
"It's still the same as ever. They'll get better soon after today, though." Elise smiled thoughtfully. Then, she asked him, "Who were you talking to on the phone? You looked serious."
"Johnny." Alexander didn't hide it from her and told the truth. "They found out that many people from Triune are coming to Mesdra, and it seems like they're planning something big. I'm afraid they are here for Smith Co."
"Did they not find out their plan?" asked Elise.
"No." Alexander shook his head. "All these years, Triune was restricted and suffered great losses because of Smith Co. It is normal for them to be more secretive with their plan."
As the saying went, once bitten and twice shy. After Wendy and the others suffered losses because of Alexander, they began to hide in the dark. However, if Alexander did not see this as an opportunity to strike Triune after they had weakened their power, the problem would resurface.
After all, Wendy's organization was similar to a cult as it manipulated others. The longer Triune existed, the more people would be harmed. When that happened, the world would be a mess, and there would be no safe place. Hence, Alexander would not let Triune have a chance to destroy the world.
Elise thought for a moment. Then, her eyes lit up as she hugged him. "Oh my, how dumb are we? We have a handyman on our side. Why don't we use him?"
When Alexander heard her words, he immediately knew what she meant. "Do you mean Owen?"
"That's right. Rather than guessing their next move, why don't we take the initiative instead? After all, we used seven years to change the situation. This is the final stretch, and we can't make any mistakes. Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain." Elise was tired of being Anastasia, and she was willing to do anything to get rid of this identity.
However, Alexander didn't quite agree with her decision. "Owen isn't easy to get close to. I'm worried that something might happen to you if you get close to him." He wasn't afraid of anything, but Elise was his exception. He didn't want anything to happen to her.
Sometimes, humans acted in such a way. When they had nothing, they wouldn't be afraid of anything. However, they would be afraid of everything as soon as they had something precious.
"No matter how well hidden he is, we always find him. Most importantly, he still doesn't know that I am Elise. Thus, he will be wrapped around our fingers, so nothing will happen to me. Plus, I have you and Zephyr by my side. Even if something were to happen, you guys would protect me, right?" Elise said to him patiently.
As Alexander heard her words, he kept quiet as he couldn't let himself agree to this.
"Come on, darling," Elise whined as she wrapped her arms around him, looking at him with her big doe eyes. "Don't you wish for us to live dignifiedly without having to be secretive? I can hold your hand as we walk down the street without disguising myself. I have longed for this. I have waited for seven years, and this is our chance. Let's risk it all, shall we? Please, darling."
As Alexander felt her hot breaths against his skin and listened to her sweet voice, he was lovestruck. He couldn't help but smile, and his knees weakened. "Sure." Although he pretended to act calm and composed, his tone was excited, exposing his inner thoughts.
"You are the best, darling." Elise tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek.
At this moment, Zephyr entered the room. When he saw the scene, he quickly covered his eyes and said, "Damn. I hope I'm not interrupting something."
When Elise saw him, she quickly got down from Alexander and straightened her clothes.
"What great timing," Alexander commented sarcastically, glaring at him. "What brings you here?"
