Chapter 254 Let Bygones Be Bygones
“Mrs. Ramsey.” Carissa brushed her hair and greeted Rebekah politely.
However, Carissa’s actions were particularly rigid.
“Ms. Barrell, you are really a rare guest. I heard that the Barrell family has been working with Hudson Group recently. Congratulations,” Rebekah said.
“I’ll have to thank Mr. Ramsey for giving me this opportunity.”
“However, I heard that you also work with the Powell family.”
“It is just about business.”
Seeing that the atmosphere had become somewhat serious, Rebekah did not keep asking more about this but suddenly changed the topic.
“Alexa regards you as her friend. If you are free, I’ll be glad if you can visit us more.”
“Mrs. Ramsey, thank you for your invitation.”
After a few words, Carissa found an excuse and left the office.
Walking out of the Hudson Group building, Carissa made a call expressionlessly.
“They seem to have discovered it. You guys should think of a way as soon as possible.” Carissa ruffled her hair in frustration.
“Yes, I got it,” the one on the other end of the phone replied calmly.
Carissa panicked a little. She said, “You have to do what you promised me. Otherwise, I will…”
“We know. The money has been transferred to your account. Check it.”
Carissa couldn’t wait to check the transfer message. Sure enough, the money had been transferred to her account.
“You have got the money. I will tell you what to do next.”
“Alright…”
At the same time, Alexa entered St. Paolo Hotel and was heading to the reserved room.
Unexpectedly, Alexa happened to meet Terrence.
“Terrence, why are you here? Where is Damarion?”
Terrence did not answer Alexa’s question but turned to Edwin.
Terrence said, “Send her back.”
“Terrence, what are you doing?” Alexa asked discontentedly, “Why are you sending me back?”
“I booked this hotel today,” Terrence said.
“I have an appointment with my client. Terrence, don’t stop me.”
“The top floor, right? I’ll go.”
“What’s wrong with you?”
Alexa didn’t understand what was going on. Edwin reminded her politely and then asked someone to send her out of the hotel.
After confirming that Alexa was safely in the car, Terrence went upstairs.
In the luxurious private room on the top floor, Jovan was already waiting impatiently.
Jovan saw that the person who came was Terrence, and a hint of doubt flashed through his eyes.
“Mr. Clough,” Terrence spoke in neither servile nor overbearing manner.
“Why is it you?”
Jovan narrowed his eyes viciously, crossed his legs arrogantly, and leaned against the back of the chair.
“The person I want to see today is not you.”
“Of course, I know.” Terrence sat down in front of Jovan calmly. “But the only person you can see today is me.”
“Heh.”
Jovan laughed coldly, and without any etiquette, he picked up his coffee cup and took a big sip.
“You young people are really interesting.” Jovan clapped his hands repeatedly and said, “Alexa and Kieran cheated on you, and you actually let bygones be bygones. You are really large–minded.”
“Mr. Clough, in my opinion, he must know Conley’s whereabouts.”
“I knew it before you told me!”
Jovan stood in front of the window and took a sip of the coffee that was about to go cold. Suddenly, he thought of something. In the blink of an eye, he smashed the priceless coffee cup into pieces.
“Terrence, Alexa…” Jovan sneered cruelly, “I’ll spare your lives for now. Sooner or later, I’ll make you pay the price!”
At this time, Edwin had sent Alexa downstairs of the Hudson Group building. He did not expect to see a white BMW.
“Stop the car.”
Alexa ordered as she hurriedly pushed open the door and got out of the car.
“Carissa!”
A moment later, the driver’s window of the BMW slowly rolled down.
Carissa had cried just now. Although she had put on makeup, her eyes were still red and swollen.
After seeing Alexa, Carissa felt even more guilty.
“Alexa, you’re here too?” Carissa subconsciously explained, “I just came to a business talk. I didn’t expect to meet Damar.”
Seeing that Alexa did not speak, Carissa forced a smile.
Carissa added, “Your son is very cute, and he looks like you.”
“Carissa, why do you look so haggard? Did you run into some trouble recently? Do you want to tell me?” Alexa said gently and patiently.
“No, what trouble can I encounter?” Carissa waved her hand and changed the topic in the blink of an eye. “Maeve has recently gained the title of the best actress. Do you know about this?”
“Yes, she told me on the phone.”
“It turned out that she called you.”
The smile on Carissa’s face faded, and she could barely keep the faint smile.
“She didn’t even call me. Maybe she has been too busy recently.”
