At seven o’clock that night, Wendy met with Lord Alvarado and Moses at an upscale restaurant in Harbor City.
“May I know why you invited us to dinner today?”
Lord Alvarado quickly stood up and poured each of them a glass of the opened red wine.
Wendy obviously was not interested in any of this, she asked, “It’s about Alder’s oil business in Barne, do you know the details of this? He hasn’t contacted me for a long time. Is he thinking about bringing back another woman?”
Lord Alvarado and Moses looked at each other. They did not expect Wendy to speak so bluntly. However, as men, they also instinctively sensed a hint of danger.
Lord Alvarado said, “I… I don’t think so… As far as I know, Alder is busy doing business in Barne at this time, and you can see him in newspapers every day!”
Then Moses also said, ‘That’s right, and I think you’re just too worried about him, Ms. Schuler. With a good wife like you, why would Alder go out and flirt with other women? I never heard Alder expressing interest in foreign women too.”
Lord Alvarado echoed from the side, “That’s right, I definitely don’t think he’s interested…”
Lord Alvarado and Moses collaborated, trying to get defuse the matter. They soon saw Wendy nodding along, so they thought the danger was over.
“You are right, Alder is indeed not interested in foreign women. But… How do you explain this?”
Wendy’s temperament changed suddenly, and she quickly took out the video from her phone.
Lord Alvarado and Moses fell silent after watching the video.
Outsiders would not be able to explain the content in the video.
Besides, everyone was familiar with that woman. She was Celine Maynard from the Maynard family in Southern America!
Now Lord Alvarado and Moses could not help Alder even if they tried to use work as an excuse. The two looked at each other, and for a while, they were at a loss for words.
