Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 642

Chapter 642 Caught In The Act 

The voice was all too familiar to Alex. He instinctively turned and looked in the direction it came from. 

As he expected, Heather was standing a short distance away from them and staring at them in disbelief 

Realizing that someone was there, Carlene hurriedly loosened her embrace. However, almost immediately after letting go of Alex, she wished she did not have to and began missing the feeling of having the man in her arms. 

“Alex, I can’t believe it’s really you!” Heather then turned to face Carlene. “What is your relationship with her?” 

After being criticized by Anonymuncle, Heather was feeling down in the dumps and did not feel like carrying on with her live streaming. 

She decided to take a walk and saw a couple locked in an embrace. At first, she did not pay much heed to them besides having the thought that they were rather bold in their public display of affection. 

But as she looked closer, she realized that the man looked a lot like Alex. She decided to call out his name and was surprised that it turned out to really be him. 

At that moment, she felt that everything she had known about her life with him had crumbled. All she wanted was to hear how he was going to explain the situation to her. 

“We’re just friends,” Alex replied matter-of-factly. Other than their working relationship as superior and subordinate, the only other relationship he believed they had was just friendship. 

“Friends?” Clearly, Heather was not buying it. 

Her eyes began to turn red as she said. “Alex, do you think I was born yesterday? You’re alone with her at this time of the night, and she was hugging you so tightly. Do you really expect me to believe you’re just friends? If I hadn’t seen this with my own eyes today, heaven knows how long you’re intending to hide this from me!” 

“Ms. Jennings, this isn’t what you think it is. We’re really just friends. I only hugged him in a moment of impulsiveness,” Carlene quickly explained, as she did not want to come between the husband and wife. 

It would have been better for her to remain silent. The moment she spoke up, Heather recognized her immediately, and fury rose within her. 

When it came to the person Heather detested the most, there was none other than Carlene. Carlene had not only snatched her virtual gifts from Anonymuncle, but she had even caused him to dislike her now. 

Heather was sure that it was all Carlene’s doing. If the latter had not appeared, the five million from Anonymuncle would have been hers. 

This woman standing before her had not only snatched her number one spot, but she was als romantically involved with her husband. She had really gone too far. 

Heather immediately piled all the blame on Carlene without considering if she had jumped to th conclusion and was making false accusations against Alex. 

Jealousy had clouded her mind and caused her to lose her usual composure and level-headedness. Heather stepped forward and got ready to give a few tight slaps to Carlene’s detestable face. 

It would serve as a warning that nothing good happened to a marriage wrecker! 

Just as she was about to strike Carlene’s face, she felt her hand stuck in mid-air. Alex had intervened and caught her hand just in time. 

“You’re protecting her?” Heather turned to him, her eyes blazing with fury.
