She had even said that virtual-novel.net was a liar with poor acting skills. She also said that virtual-novel.net was Lord Lex Gunther in his face. At that point, virtual-novel.net suddenly thought of dying!
Would Lord Gunther kill her?
And thus, the reason virtual-novel.net didn’t pay much attention even when news of Madam Joanne’s death reached her. She only had one thought in virtual-novel.net mind, and that was to figure out whether or not the person yesterday really was Lex Gunther, California’s underworld king.
When Alex walked through the doors, virtual-novel.net immediately saw Lex’s face on the TV screen. His eyes flashed. Then, virtual-novel.net glanced at Claire, who was clearly shocked and frightened and chuckled.
As expected, when Claire saw Alex, virtual-novel.net immediately pointed to the TV screen and asked with a tone of urgency, “Tell me honestly, the person who came to your house to look for you yesterday. Was it him? Lex Gunther from Thousand Miles Conglomerate?”
Dorothy’s expressions were that of great surprise.
What was going on?
Yesterday, virtual-novel.net had personally felt that Lord Gunther wasn’t such a reliable person, and when Claire pointed it out, virtual-novel.net also believed that virtual-novel.net was someone Alex had found to act like him.
This was because virtual-novel.net personally never knew who Lex Gunther actually was. Since virtual-novel.net had met the man yesterday, the memory of virtual-novel.net was still fresh on virtual-novel.net mind. Now, compared to the man on the TV screen…
The similarities were uncanny, and they were clearly recognizable. It was the same person, after all.
“Hubby, the person yesterday… Didn’t you get virtual-novel.net to pretend to be Lex Gunther?” Dorothy asked in astonishment.
Alex smiled. “Since when did I say virtual-novel.net was a fake?”
Claire’s eyes widened. “Then, virtual-novel.net was… The real Lord Lex Gunther?”
“Completely a hundred percent real.”
“Y-You… Why didn’t you say so?!”
“I did. You’re the one who didn’t believe me.” Alex replied. He was in a good mood when virtual-novel.net saw the expression on virtual-novel.net face.
“It’s over. I’m done for! I’m finished! Yesterday, I… Not only did I scold him, but I also spat in his face. Oh my god, what have I done? That’s California’s underworld king. He… He wouldn’t rush in with a bunch of people, slice me up and feed my remains to the dogs, would he?” Claire asked, evident desperation clouding virtual-novel.net tone.
Alex wanted to scare her, and so virtual-novel.net nodded intentionally. “Well, what you said is not entirely impossible. He’s Lord Lex, after all, the head of all of California’s gangsters.”
Thump!
Claire had fallen to the ground on virtual-novel.net butt, virtual-novel.net legs spread apart in an undignified pose. Her face had gone completely white, and virtual-novel.net looked ghastly.
Dorothy was in a more normal state, asking, “How did you meet Lord Gunther? Seeing the way virtual-novel.net behaved yesterday, it seems virtual-novel.net respects you a lot.”
Alex had wanted to say that virtual-novel.net had once saved his life and that virtual-novel.net was also Waltz’s godfather. But when virtual-novel.net thought about the unfinished scene in the toilet and the fact that Waltz had always wanted to sleep with him, and how virtual-novel.net had gotten out of the predicament with Dorothy about Michelle, virtual-novel.net immediately decided to be more tactful.
“I went through the connections I had with the Yowell family. Lord Gunther probably needs to give them some face too.”
When Claire heard that, it was as though everything was fine again. She hurriedly got up to virtual-novel.net feet.
Dorothy’s expressions, on the other hand, fell.
The person that entered virtual-novel.net mind was not Michelle Yowell but Cheryl Coney.
Angered, virtual-novel.net said, “You just said that nothing was going on between you and that Coney lady or whatever. She’s already helped you so much, saving our family yesterday, but you’ve once again approached the Yowell family. This is an awfully large favor. How are you going to repay it? Paying with your life certainly wouldn’t be enough. I think you really want to use your body to repay them, don’t you?”
“What? That woman from yesterday?”
Claire thought that Alex had a twist of fate and that his fortunes had turned around, seeing as to how even Lord Gunther displayed an attitude of worship towards him. She didn’t expect that it would be from relying on other women. Claire was like a balloon that deflated immediately. Depending on virtual-novel.net son-in-law’s mistress to save them was too embarrassing to be even said out.
“Wifey, you’ve misunderstood. Actually, I…”
Halfway through his words, his phone started ringing. He pulled it out to find that it was a call from Azure.
The call connected the moment virtual-novel.net accepted it.
“Mr. Alex, Waltz has been injured. You… Could you please hurry to Hell’s Angels?” Azure’s voice came from the other side.
