Chapter 532:

This wasn’t the time for rash actions; he needed the truth.

Picking up his phone, he dialed Noah’s number.

The phone rang unanswered.

A foreboding feeling settled in Alex’s heart.

He set the phone down, resolved to confront Noah in person to seek justice for his mother and address their failed collaboration.

Alex strode to the villa’s entrance, reaching for the car door when a familiar voice stopped him.

“Where are you going, Alex?”

He froze and turned around.

Terrance stood there, stern, with Aliza beside him, smiling sweetly.

“Dad…” Alex’s voice was hoarse, mixed feelings in his eyes.

“I already know about your mother’s abduction,” Terrance said gravely.

“Dad, you know?” Surprise flickered in Alex’s eyes; he hadn’t expected his father to be informed so swiftly.

“Yes, I do.” Terrance nodded, his expression grim. “I’ve sent people to investigate. Don’t worry.”

“Dad, I…” Alex began, but Terrance cut him off.

“What are you planning to do?” Terrance asked Alex with a serious tone.

“I’m going to confront Noah about my mom’s abduction and discuss our family’s collaboration with him,” Alex responded without hesitation.

“That’s nonsense!” Terrance roared. “You think he’ll just admit to it? Do you really think he’ll have a civil conversation with you? Wall Group has already made their move, which means they’ve broken ties with us. Why should we hold back?”

“Dad, are you saying…” Alex began, sensing more behind his father’s words.

“I’ve decided,” Terrance said coldly, “Howe Group will go to war with Wall Group. They will pay for their actions.”

“We can’t do this, Dad. We…” Alex protested.

“Enough!” Terrance cut him off. “My decision is final.”

“Dad, did Aliza say something to you? She…” Alex asked, turning to Aliza with suspicion.

He believed she was the one causing trouble and stirring chaos. Aliza, upon hearing Alex’s words, adopted an innocent expression, gently shaking her head. She softly said, “Alex, what are you talking about? I haven’t done anything. How could I possibly speak ill of you to your father? Why don’t you trust me?”

As she spoke, her eyes slightly reddened, giving her a pitiful look.

Terrance, observing Aliza’s demeanor, felt a surge of sympathy.

He walked over to her, gently patting her shoulder to comfort her. “Aliza, don’t mind him. He’s been misled by that woman and can’t distinguish right from wrong.”

“Dad, you…” Alex grew even more upset as his father sided with Aliza.

“Guards!” Terrance called, and bodyguards quickly appeared.

They stood attentively before him, ready for his instructions.

“Take Alex to his room and make sure he stays there. He’s not to leave without my permission,” Terrance said coldly.

“You can’t do this, Dad!” Alex shouted, struggling against the guards.

“Take his phone too,” Terrance added.

The bodyguards quickly stepped forward, taking Alex’s phone from his hand.

“Let me go, Dad! I need to find my mother and confront Noah!” Alex shouted, struggling in vain as he was forcibly taken back to his room. The door closed with a heavy thud, leaving Alex slumped on the floor, defeated.
