New beginning: Billionaire love story (Claire and Alex) novel Chapter 189

Claire rolled her eyes. “We didn’t do anything for your information.”

Matthew walked forward towards her desk still with a curious look on his face. “No, there is something going on between you two.”

“Matthew?”

“Yes?”

“Please shut up.”

The one journalist from earlier who ask question about Claire parents looked around to make sure no one is following him. He walked towards the alleyway where he spotted a black car parking. He knocked on the window.

The back door open and he climbed inside the car.

“I already did what you ask me to do.”

Robert turned to him and smiled. “Good. You chose the right momentum when you asked that question.”

He took the thick envelope and handed it to him. “This is your payment.” The journalist took the money excitedly as he couldn’t wait to spend all this money.

“Thank you, sir. If I may wondering, why the question is about her parents?” Robert lips curled up into a smirk.

“There is something that are not meant to be find out.”

He turned towards the door to leave but then it got locked. “Keep this a secret. I don’t want anyone including Claire to find out about this.”

He nodded. “Of course, sir. Leave it to me. I will keep this a secret. I won’t even talk about this.” He left the car and walked in the opposite direction to what he came from.

Back at Metacortex, Matthew sat at his desk, scrutinizing the stock market figures on his monitor. Following Claire's orders, he focused on the company's stock, and to his delight, he noticed that Metacortex's stock was finally rising.

He headed towards Claire's office to share the good news.

As he walked in, Claire was busy at her desk, surrounded by paperwork. She looked up as he entered. “Matthew, what's up?”

“The stock is rising,” Matthew announced with a smile. “The press conference earlier really made a difference.”

Claire sighed in relief, her shoulders visibly relaxing. “That's great news. I guess Alex plan really did work out for the better.”

Matthew nodded but couldn't shake the lingering question in his mind. “So, what are you going to do about Max and Lisa now?”

Claire put her pen down and looked thoughtfully at Matthew. “Well, you already hacked into her phone and blocked any news relating to my press conference with Alex. She still think her plan is working.”

Matthew raised an eyebrow. “So, what's the next step?”

Claire leaned back in her chair. “I need you to track Lisa's location. Find out where she is. Also, ask Max to send all the evidence of their conversations and the money Lisa transferred to him. It’s important for us to have all those evidence.”

“On it,” Matthew said, turning to leave.

Back at his desk, Matthew began the task of tracking Lisa's location. It was something he was accustomed to, and within minutes, he had her coordinates. “Gotcha,” he muttered to himself as he saw that Lisa was currently on her way back to London.

He then dialed Max's number. “Hey, Max. I need you to send me all the evidence you have—conversations, money transfers, everything.”

“Sure thing, Matthew,” Max replied. “I'll get it to you right away.”

Matthew thanked him and hung up. He gathered the information and headed back to Claire's office to update her.

“Claire,” Matthew said as he entered, “I have got Lisa's location. She's on her way back to London. And Max is sending over the evidence we need.”
