For a moment, Alex did not want to walk up to them. He just wanted to turn around and walk off, as if
they did not know Alex.
However, Phoebe was already waving at him. âRockefeller brat, quickly come over. What are you doing
standing over there?â
When her cousin turned around and saw Alex, she instantly frowned. Afterwards, she had her mouth
agape.
âNo way? Cousin, how do you know this scum?â The woman said right away.
âWhat scum? Judy, donât spew nonsense,â said Phoebe instantly as she was confused.
âThatâs him, thatâs the scum that I told you on the phone earlier. I donât know which woman he was
colluding with to cheat on his girlfriend. He had an affair with his girlfriendâs best friend. Is he still not a
scum?â
She was quite loud and immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers.
Phoebe was terrified to the core.
It turned out that the person Judy told her on the phone was Alex. However, never did Judy expect that
the said best friend who was colluding with this scum was actually her own cousin!
âJudy, donât you spew nonsense if you donât know anything. You mustâve heard it wrongly,â said Phoebe
immediately.
âAlright, letâs go! There are a lot of people here. Youâre really one of a kind too, you know. Why did you
take the train when youâre coming from Alaska? You could âve reached way earlier if you took the
plane.â
âIâm afraid of heights!â
Afterwards, she seemed to have realized something suddenly and shouted, âCousin, the person who
talked to this scum on the phone couldnât be you, right?â
***
Until they were in the car, Phoebe generously admitted to it. âThatâs right, the person who gave him a
call was me. Thatâs why I told you that youâve misunderstood it. Do I look like the kind of person who
would steal my best friendâs boyfriend? Besides, look at this guy, which part of him is worthy for me to
be on the losing end?â
The woman named Judy Larsen was Phoebeâs third uncleâs daughter. She was twenty-three years old
this year and just returned from studying in England.
Judy looked at both of them suspiciously. Even though she did not hear clearly what Phoebe said on
the phone at the time, she pricked up her ears and heard everything said by Alex.
They both were indeed tallying their confessions.
She wanted to continue asking to get to the heart of the matter. However, considering that Phoebe was
her cousin, she certainly would like to keep her ego. How would she possibly admit to such a personal
matter?
Hence, she nodded. âIndeed, Cousin, with your appearance and family background, you rank high
even in Alaska but not everyone could claim social connection with you.â
After a pause, she continued, âBy the way, Uncle has a great improvement this time. Soon, heâll
become the governor of Michigan. When the time comes, youâll become the governorâs daughter with
an even higher position. I heard that many big families in Alaska have been asking to see Grandpa
because they all want to be your husband!â
When she said that, her eyes were staring at Alex, wanting to tell that to Alex.
However, Alex, who was in charge of driving, did not seem to hear it.
Phoebe shook her head and smiled. âThis is impossible. Iâll decide on my own marriage! Nobody can
force me, even if my grandfather canât do so.â
Judy smiled and said, âCousin, you canât do that! Weâre born in a family like the Larsen family, we canât
decide on our own marriage! Well, youâre quite lucky though. The second young master of the Quarters
family is coming to Michigan soon. His target is very clear, itâs you! The Quartersesâ patriarch has
talked to Grandpa about this matter. Itâs basically cast in stone. Youâll soon be the Quartersesâ
daughter-in-law soon.â
âWhat? The Quarterses of Alaska?!â Phoebe exclaimed.
Her expression turned very awful. She knew about the Quarterses of Alaska. They had a far greater
existence than the eight royal families of America and many in the family were high officials and noble
persons. On the other hand, the second young master of the Quarters family was also very well-known.
He was famous for being the little prodigy of the Quarters family. He had gained his popularity at the
age of six and achieved a PhD in three subjects at the age of eighteen. Now at the age of twenty-six,
he had already established a multinational corporation that was worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
If such a person went to the Larsen family to propose a marriage, would the Larsensâ patriarch refuse
it?
