“Oh son, you do not remember my voice?” Augus’s voice on the phone sounds very arrogant.
“Are you still a human being? How can you do such a thing?” Alex’s heart is smouldering in resentment because this morning he was still thinking about how to achieve the capital turnover of the Alex Group so that the situation can be better.
Augus becomes more and more confident in his words, “I told you long ago that you would regret it.”
“So you’re threatening me now?” Alex’s face has turned to the colour of molten lava and his eyes flash bolts of lightning, as if he is a beast that will go crazy to kill people at any moment.
“Let me tell you. If you don’t get the capital turnover for my company, then you won’t be able to see that old woman ever again.” Augus feels that now he must be by hook or by crook as he knows that the old woman is his bargaining chip so he does not need to be afraid.
“Are you sure you want to treat me in such a way?” Alex feels that his father is indeed too heartless as his father becomes frenzied and does this kind of thing again.
Augus’s tone is steadfast, “Let me tell you, if you don’t prepare the capital for our company, then you will be collecting the old woman’s corpse.”
“You…”
Augus instantly hangs up the phone after saying that. Alex is too angry for the words.
“What exactly does he say? What is his requirement to let go of my grandmother?” Miya is so anxious that she can only grab her phone to redial Carmen’s phone, but it cannot be reached anymore.
Miya is so helpless that she slumps down and keeps scratching her hair with her hands, “What should I do now?”
Alex squats down and helps Miya to get up, “Let me handle all this, I will never let him hurt grandmother.”
Miya is originally very panicked, but after hearing Alex’s words, she nods her head.
Without hesitation, Alex asks Randy to be ready for driving the car. When he just gets on the car, Miya chases after him.
“Are you going to look for Augus? I want to go with you.” Miya has butterflies in her stomach as she is really too worried about Carmen’s well-being.
Alex frowns and looks at Miya caringly, “As the saying goes, if you are too worried, you will make the wrong decision. I know that you are very worried about grandmother’s condition, but I can solve these things by myself. If you’re around, I’ll be distracted easily.”
“Then…I’ll wait for your good news.” Miya spits out the words slowly, watching them drive away and disappear from her sight. Her heart is thumping fiercely against her chest while she is anxiously waiting for their news.
In the next moment, there is a sharp braking sound at the entrance of the Alex Group.
With a cold face, Alex gets off the car. Randy follows him respectfully with a document.
When Alex walks into the office, he sees that Grace is lying on the table and spinning the pen.
When Grace hears a sound coming from the door, she thinks Augus is coming and she immediately stands up and rolls her eyes disgustedly. But the moment when she realizes that it is Alex, her eyes sparkle with happiness.
“Alex, why are you here?” Grace’s eyes are glowing. She walks towards Alex and earnestly hopes that she can jump onto his body. There is a delight and also a buzz of excitement in her tone.
“Cut the crap, where is Alex?” Alex’s voice is still cold.
