Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Would Alexander Catch Them in the Act?

Translator: Inschain Editor: Inschain

President Berney from Fortune Law Group actually brought a girl home?

This is BIG news!

He squinted his eyes, and when he caught sight of Elizabeth’s fair face, which shone brightly under the sun, he was utterly surprised.

He immediately pulled out his phone to share the gossip with his close friend.

“Alex, Peter Berney from Fortune Law Group brought a girl home. If this gets out, it’s definitely going viral!”

“Not my concern,” Alexander replied.

“No, no, the girl Peter brought home is the same girl we bumped into the other day, the one who those thugs harassed.”

“You’ve lost your sight.”

Samuel touched his nose in annoyance and made a response.

“Even if I were severely nearsighted, I’m sure it’s her. Peter even personally greeted her, grinning like some creepy old man. It’s clear he’s up to no good. Either she’s been deceived or something. Come see for yourself if you don’t believe me.”

He genuinely doubted that Alexander would come over in the blazing sun… just to… catch them in the act.

Wait… why did he think of it as “catching someone in the act”?

“Hold on, I’m coming.”

Alexander replied promptly and even agreed to it.

Samuel was so confused.

Samuel started to suspect that he wasn’t actually texting Alexander. Why would he actually come?

Alexander set down his phone, handed the billiard cue he was holding to his bodyguard, and elegantly adjusted the sleeves of his shirt, covering the defined muscles of his arm. “Mr. Williams, not playing anymore?”

Someone asked.

With a mysterious smile playing on his lips, Alexander said, “Got something to do.”

“What happened?”

He responded leisurely, “I’m off to instill some Core Socialist Values in a little girl. ”

This left his friends perplexed.

Huh?

“Achoo!”

Peter rubbed his nose, “Am I catching a cold?”

Elizabeth took a sip of her iced cola, her usually expressionless face now showing a hint of amusement.

She squinted, commenting lightly, “Sneezing doesn’t always indicate illness. Sometimes it’s due to environmental factors, inhaling irritants like dust, smoke, animal dander, or feathers, or even changes in temperature.” Peter felt bombarded by the sudden lesson and suggested with a serious face.

“Boss, can we start?”

“Oh. ”

Elizabeth put down her cola, her eyes betraying a momentary reluctance. When she refocused, she commanded Peter.

“Remove the skin.”

Peter twitched, finding the phrasing odd.

He quickly stripped off the synthetic skin, revealing a pair of meticulously crafted mechanical hands.

Elizabeth booted up her computer, took out several cables, and carefully connected each one. Her fingers flew across the computer keyboard. Seeking conversation, Peter mentioned, “School’s starting soon, right?” “Yep,” Elizabeth replied curtly.

“I had the Board of Directors build a new Laboratory Building for you. It’ll ensure you have a comfortable and peaceful experience. Just enjoy a normal life.’

Trying to subtly take credit, Peter suddenly felt an electric current surge through him from his arm.

He yelped loudly.

“Boss! Boss! Please be gentle.”

Elizabeth whispered a reprimand, “Don’t interfere with my campus life. I want to be a regular student.”

“Got it, got it,” Peter murmured, caressing his arm affectionately.

You’ve been through a lot.

“How’s everything with the Wilson family recently?”

Without looking up, Elizabeth responded, “Dad and Mom are good people;

Jack’s quite dense, and Linda’s a joke.”

Peter choked a bit, thinking, very much in the style of Professor Lawrence.

“Is that stupid Linda still causing trouble?”

“I don’t care,” Elizabeth’s voice was indifferent. “She wants to run away from home. She needs to learn a lesson.”
