“Okay”
Then, Alexandra crumpled the tissue into a ball
Then, she turned around and threw it inside the Doherty Residence
Julian took off his jacket and wrapped it around Alexandra Then, he walked her to the car and opened the passenger’s door for her.
After getting into the car, Julian made a U–turn and drove towards Tropical Lagoon Residences.
Along the way, Julian did not mention a single word about the Doherty family. He was afraid that Alexandra would feel sad again upon hearing it
On the other side, Alexandra lowered her head and did not say a word.
When they were reaching home, Julian said to her. “In the future, do not go back to the Doherty Residence unnecessarily if there is a need to go back. let me know and I will go with you. Do not go back on your own, okay?”
Alexandra lifted her head and turned around slightly. She set her eyes on Julian who was focusing on driving at that moment.
He seemed to be exceptionally good to her today.
No doubt that Alexandra was so touched at that moment.
However, she realized something after leaving the Doherty Residence.
She did not belong to Highclere City. There was no place for her in Highclere City at all.
She had nothing in Highclere City
Not only the Doherty family but also the Ranford family.
Even Julian Ranford had nothing to do with her.
Alexandra felt sad again. She sniffled as she said with a smile, “Thank you, Mr. Ranford. I am fine now. I am really fine now. The Doherty family has always been a stranger to me. Therefore, it makes no difference to me. The reason I come to Highclere City is to seek help from you to help me find Ace Fulton, not to acknowledge them.”
It was red light when Julian heard what Alexandra said.
He turned around and looked at Alexandra who put on a wry smile on her face. She felt so sad at that moment, yet she pretended to be tough instead.
What exactly did Peter tell her?
Also, did she want to find Ace and leave Highclere City so eagerly?
By the time they reached home, Josephine had already gone upstairs to rest
Josephine had kept some food for them in the kitchen. However, Alexandra had no appetite. Thus, she went back to her room directly.
Julian had no appetite too. Hence, he returned to his room.
Upon returning to the room, Alexandra was chatting with Emery and Yvonne Droston. Three of them created a WhatsApp group named “The House of Angels”
Alexandra was the one who named the group.
She was the admin of the group.
The national day holidays were about to end and school was about to start soon.
The girls had a lot to talk about indeed.
Julian walked into the room and saw that Alexandra’s mood seemed to be better now. New messages kept prompting on her phone. When he took a glance at it, it was all emoticons that showing in the chat room.
Julian did not know who Alexandra was chatting with. But, she seemed to be enjoying it.
Julian looked away and asked, “Why did Peter look for you?”
Alexandra held the phone tightly in her hand. Upon hearing Julian’s question, Alexandra did not feel like telling him everything. She did not want to Create any trouble for Julian.
Furthermore, she doubted that Julian would lend Peter 16 million dollars because of her
At the same time, she did not want Julian to lend the money to Peter too
Even though she wanted her mother’s belongings so much.
However, Alexandra did not want to lie to Julian She could only be honest with him in brief. “Peter invested in Helina Company and suffered a great loss. He wanted to borrow 16 million dollars from you. But, please don’t take it to heart, Mr. Ranford. I have already rejected him!“
Chapter 119
“That’s all?” Julian had a feeling that Alexandra was lying. If that was the case, why was she feeling so aggrieved and sad when she left the house?
Alexandra nodded, “That’s all! I have already rejected him! He will not look for you or create any trouble for you now, Mr. Ranford.”
Julian looked at Alexandra quictly for two seconds. Then, he asked again, “Do you want me to lend the money to them?”
Alexandra shook her head immediately and said, “Of course not! You are not a fool, Mr. Ranford! Why should you lend them so much money? Furthermore, I don’t want you to lend the money to them too.”
Julian knew that Alexandra would not say the truth no matter what. Hence, he did not pursue it further. “Well, rest early then. Dr. Sloane said that you had a tough day going through all the examinations this morning. So, he asked me to let you rest well for these two days.”
“Alright, Mr. Ranford!”
Julian glanced at Alexandra again before leaving the room and heading to the study.
The next day, Alexandra slept till eight o’clock in the morning
Julian had already gone to work at that time.
The board meeting at the beginning of the month had been rescheduled to that morning. Hence, he had to reach the company earlier.
The meeting lasted about three hours. It covered the performance targets of the branches and the expansion of overseas operations for the next two
quarters.
After the meeting ended, Julian felt that his head was about to blow.
However, he had used to it though.
When he returned to his office, he sat on the chair and rest.
Then, he took a glance at his watch. It was already eleven in the morning. He wondered what Alexandra was doing now at home.
Julian unlocked his phone and scrolled through Marco’s conversation log. It took him quite some time before he scrolled to the place where Marco sent him a bunch of business cards.
Alexandra’s WhatsApp profile name was “Little Cutie Alexandra“.
Her profile picture was a white cartoon bunny.
Julian clicked on the card and stared at the words “Add to contact” for quite some time. He was thinking. He had been treating Alexandra well these few days. Would she still hold a grudge against him?
Hence, he clicked on it and wrote his name on the remark before sending the friend request.
At the time the friend request was sent, Marco came into his office with a cup of coffee. Marco then asked, “What do you want for lunch, Sir?”
Julian put away his phone quickly. But, before that, he took a glance at the screen.
Then, he took a sip of the coffee and said, “Don’t bother. I have an appointment later in the afternoon.”
Marco recalled what was written in his assistant’s notebook. Mr, Ranford did not seem to have any appointments in the afternoon.
Thus, he asked, “Sir, I remember that you do not have an appointment in the afternoon.”
Julian put down his coffee and stood up. He was about to leave when he said, “Personal matter. Frank will go with me. You stay in the office.”
Marco was a little displeased at that moment. Ever since Frank returned, Julian had never brought Marco along no matter where he went.
Julian took his coat from the coat hanger and was about to leave the office.
Suddenly, Marco stopped him. “By the way, Sir, It is already 5th today! It’s payday for Mrs.. Ranford! Are you going to transfer the money from the company account?”
Julian did not even turn his head when he said, “Don’t worry about it.”
“Yes, Sir!”
When Julian and Frank arrived at the Doherty Residence, Peter and Margot had been waiting for his arrival for quite some time.
Peter was quite surprised. Before he went to work this morning, he received a call from Julian, saying that Julian had something to discuss with him.
A flash of hope sparkled in Peter’s mind instantly. He bet that it was Alexandra who told Julian about the matter where Peter was intending to borrow some money from Julian after she went home.
Alexandra wanted her mother’s belonging so much. She would definitely plead with Julian on this matter.
Therefore, the couple had a plan and already thought of what to say upon Julian’s arrival.
They invited Julian to the living room. The maid then served him tea.
Frank brought along a box of bird’s nests as a gift to the couple.
Peter and Margot were so excited at that moment.
Chapter 119
It was Julian’s second visit to the house.
The first visit was the time when Julian came to pick Alexandra up on their wedding day.
Julian hated that place.
He sat on a long couch in laze. His expression showed that he did not give a damn at all.
In short, no matter where he sat, he looked domineering.
Even though he had not said a word, Peter could feel the chill down his spine.
Frank stood beside Julian as he looked at the furnishing of the Doherty Residence..
