"Ms. Xavier, everything has been taken care of," the man reported.
"Has Alexander died too?" cthe response.
The man's face drained of color, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He struggled to maintain his composure as
he replied, "Yes, they are all dead. Getty is dead, and Alexander is dead too. What should we do now?" "Hide at
the designated location we agreed upon earlier," cthe terse instruction.
"Yes..." His affirmation was cut short by the distant wail of sirens piercing through the jungle's silence. The
sound, transmitted through the phone, reached Xavier's ears. He demanded, "What's that sound!"
Alexander took the phone from the man's trembling hand and said, "Brother-in-law, it's the sound of police cars."
Upon hearing Alexander's voice, Xavier froze on the spot, dumbstruck. The phone slipped from his hand and
crashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.

He had thought Walter had betrayed Freya to oppose Alexander, and that was why he had trusted him. How

now he had two against him.
In the car on the way back, Walter opened the silver box and laughed. It was empty. He turned to Alexander,
"Chairman, did you give the two million?"
Alexander shot him a glance. "Do | look stupid?"
Walter merely smiled and said nothing.
Upon reaching their destination, Alexander instructed Walter before exiting the car, "Take Getty back."
Walter's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Chairman, did you really fall for Getty? What about the little dummy?"
Ignoring Walter's prattle, Alexander slammed the car door shut, effectively cutting off his words. He strode
towards the Regal Riverside.
