Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Her meaning is my meaning

Chapter 146

Forced into a corner, he said, "Alex, actually, I think it’s better if you ask her yourself. Although she has never explicitly asked me to keep it a secret, I feel that if I were to reveal it, I would die a horrible death. We’ve been friends for over a decade; you wouldn’t want to see me die, right?"

Alex’s fingertips touched the cup’s wall, and the warmth of the coffee seeped into the pads of his fingers.

He looked up and said, "You’ve been wronged by her."

Brandon Spence almost blurted out his agreement, but stopped himself and said, "Anyway, she’s not as weak as you think she is. For the favor she’s asking, please talk to her on my behalf."

Alex deduced the relationship between the two and lightly tapped the cup with his fingers. He picked up the coffee, sipped it slowly, and said indifferently, "Her thoughts are my thoughts."

On the other side, Chloe Collins was napping in her bedroom on the second floor.

She put in a hearing aid and quickly fell asleep.

During her nap, she heard faint noises downstairs and the doorbell ringing. Half asleep, she assumed it was the kids next door making a fuss and didn’t pay any attention.

After her short nap, Chloe got up and flipped through the LM Monthly Report that Heijii had brought.

It was hot during the daytime, and Heijii was wearing a suit, sweating profusely. He went to the fridge, opened it while talking about work.

Suddenly, he paused mid-sentence.

Chloe had just finished reading the report and put it aside. Her apathetic gaze turned towards him.

"What’s in the fridge?"

Heijii opened the fridge door wide and then mechanically moved aside to show her everything inside.

Instantly, Chloe froze.

The fridge was stuffed with food, not just instant meals, fruit Milk tea, but also a selection of vegetables and meats.

Heijii was puzzled, "Boss, you finally learned how to use your kitchen. But it must have been hard for you to buy all these things and bring them back. Why didn’t you ask me to buy them?"

Chloe got up and walked to the fridge, glanced at a note next to it, and found the message: If you can’t cook, call me - Alex.

"Boss, what does it say..."

Heijii leaned in to get a look, but his boss’s hand had dropped, not letting him see.

Chloe went to the doorway and entered her password. She frowned.

How on earth had that man managed to crack her password?

"Boss, who did you invite for dinner tonight? You’ve bought so much food," Heijii asked while drinking a bottle of water.

Chloe, deep in thought, didn’t respond.

That evening, she returned to the Fosters’ house.

She saw an interesting scene unfolding—

Robert Foster was running around the Fosters’ largest garden with weights tied to his legs.

The Master had a serious expression on his face, sitting under a sun umbrella drinking tea.

Evelyn Thompson was worried off to the side.

Robert was still wearing his racing clothes, now soaked in sweat, water dripping off him.

"Poor Fourth Brother."

"Should we go to your grandfather and plead on Cain’s behalf?"

Raine Nolan and Cherry Foster stood under a tree. Both were looking at pitiful Robert and hadn’t noticed Chloe nearby.

Cherry sighed, "There’s no use. Didn’t you see my aunt pleading with my grandfather for a long time? This time, Fourth Brother has really angered him. He almost lost his life playing with cars before, and after that incident, my grandfather and aunt forbade him to play with cars again. I never imagined he would be so bold as to sneak out."

Raine was puzzled, "If he sneaked out, how did you find out?"
