Chapter 569 Everyone Calls Her His “Wife”
Jason smiled and asked calmly, “Jock, should I send you back to the hotel next? Or…?”
Jock hadn’t planned on returning to the hotel for now.
She didn’t have anything important to do today, and staying in the room would be so boring!
So, she turned her head to look at Aletta and asked, “Aletta, what are your plans for the afternoon?”
Aletta truthfully replied, “I don’t have any plans for the afternoon. I’ll be going to the research institute later in the evening. Do you want to go out? I can accompany you.”
Jock exclaimed immediately, “That’s great! I was just wondering where to go. We can have some fun today!”
“No problem!”
Aletta smiled and made an ‘OK‘ gesture, then turned to Jason and said, “Shall we go to the shopping centre?”
“All right.”
Jason agreed and instructed the driver, “Let’s go.”
The driver complied.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
Aletta and Jock got off the car by the roadside, they began to wander around after Jason left.
Although Jock had dressed in a very low profile, with a pair of oversized sunglasses covering half of her face, her inherent superior figure and unique fashion sense still attracted the enthusiastic attention of some fans.
As a result, photos of the two were posted online, causing Aletta’s name appeared on the trend as well…
Four o’clock in the afternoon.
Jason had just returned to the company and had been working for an hour when Eaton rushed back and reported, “Mr. Hill, the situation at the restaurant has been taken care of.”
Jason didn’t even lift his head and just made a sound of acknowledgement, asking, “What about the person we captured?”
Eaton truthfully replied, “He has been detained. We are interrogating them, but we haven’t made any progress regarding the Bloods Group. The captive is stubborn and a trusted confidant who is specifically trained by the Bloods Group. His loyalty is exceptionally firm.”
Jason furrowed his brows slightly and coldly ordered, “We must extract information from him no matter how firm he is. Have the people from King League take over!”
“All right.” Eaton nodded.
Then Jason asked, “What about Countess?”
Eaton hesitated for a moment and cautiously replied, “There were people there to assist her, and we lost track of them in the northern suburbs. We are currently conducting a large–scale search, and it’s unlikely that they will leave Los Angeles so soon.”
Although Jason had anticipated this, hearing it with his own cars still left him somewhat dissatisfied.
Rarely did he come so close to catching them, only to let them slip away right under his nose. It was frustrating.
After all, he had no idea when the next opportunity would arise…
At this moment, Eaton asked, “Mr. Hill, was that person Countess?”
Jason raised an eyebrow and looked at him, “Why do you ask?”
After pondering for a moment, Eaton explained, “She seemed to be quite young. Moreover, according to the rumours, Countesses from previous generations were known for their formidable martial prowess. But today, not only did she refrain from fighting back, but she was solely focused on escaping. Such a reaction is rather peculiar…”
Jason furrowed his brow, rose from his seat, and walked over to the floor–to–ceiling window.
He could overlook the bustling streets and towering buildings of the city from the height of the top floor.
As he gazed down at the vibrant scene, he fell into contemplation.
He, too, found it difficult to comprehend the doubts raised by Eaton.
The title of “Countess” was not merely a name or title; it represented formidable strength.
It was rumoured that Countesses, throughout history, had been trained from a young age, honing their skills in ancient martial arts passed down through generations. They were exceptionally powerful, capable of taking on multiple opponents without breaking a sweat. Yet, the “Countess” they encountered today never made a move…
Furthermore, she displayed a constant sense of evasion, which raised suspicions.
Jason narrowed his eyes and couldn’t help but wonder: Was she afraid of revealing her identity? Or perhaps she was not the genuine Countess after all?
Lost in thought, Jason was interrupted by a knock on the door.
He regained his composure and calmly said, “Come in.”
The door swiftly opened, and Ray entered the room. As soon as he entered, he exclaimed, “Jason, is Aletta considering a career change?”
Jason was puzzled and asked, “What career change?”
Ray widened his eyes in surprise and said, “Huh? Haven’t you seen the news? Aletta and a famous supermodel made the headlines, and countless people online are calling her their wife!”
Confused, Jason took out his phone and accessed the news.
Within moments, the latest news headline appeared before his eyes:
[Supermodel Jock Stroll with Beauty Companion, Stunning Onlookers with Their Beauty].
Jason clicked on the article, revealing an enlarged photo.
In the picture, Aletta’s face was visible, while Jock stood beside her with her face covered.
