Chapter 208

Walganus Capital?

“Why on earth would she go to Walganus Capital? That's just asking for trouble!”

Amber, standing next to Alexander, became visibly distressed as she paced with worry.

Walganus Capital was the beating heart of Regulus Windsur, a place of paramount significance. The Chesire family, despite their

influence, had no business meddling in the affairs of Walganus Capital. If Coral ran into any sort of trouble there, they would be

powerless to assist.

“Breathe, Amber.”

Alexander soothed her, gently holding her hand and smiling reassuringly. “You know how Coral is-charming and not one to stir up

serious trouble. Besides...”

He pulled out his phone with a confident grin. “Let’s just call Yaser. He’s Coral’s boyfriend, so he’ll know what's up.”

Amber’s eyes brightened with a mix of hope and anxiety. “Alex, please, find out! Coral’s been a magnet for mischief since she

was little, and Walganus Capital is crawling with the high and mighty. If she rubs someone the wrong way, it can spell

catastrophe!”

Catastrophe?

Awry smile played on Alexander’s lips as he swiped his phone to life and dialed Yaser.

“Brother-in-law?”

Yaser’s voice came through the phone, a bit tense, a testament to the formidable presence Alexander was.

known for. “Still up at this hour? What's up?”

“Just a minor issue.”

Alexander’s voice was light. There sounded like a smile in his tone as he spoke into the phone, “I’ve just heard that Coral didn’t

stay in Woolpackton. She’s headed to Walganus Capital. Did you go after her?”

There was a brief pause on the line, and Yaser sounded anxious. “Brother-in-law, I was just about to discuss

this with you. Coral slipped away to Walganus Capital, and she wouldn't let me tag along. I wouldn’t be so concerned if it were

any other company, but...she’s interning at a foreign firm that’s got a pretty shady

reputation.”

Shady reputation?

Alexander’s brow furrowed, but his voice remained steady. “Take it easy, and tell me everything.”

Yaser quickly explained, “Our school’s got this deal with the company, so a lot of grads end up interning there.

Coral got in without a hitch. However...there’s been talk, you know? Older students say the boss is bad news,

preying on the young and pretty ones. It’s not exactly a secret.”

Alexander nodded slowly to himself.

It was an all-too-familiar story in the working world. Male bosses used their power to target female college students, many of

whom were too new to the game to speak up or fight back. Then there were those who fell for the allure of money, ending up in

the clutches of those who only played the part of the good guy.

However, Coral was not some newbie without a hint of awareness. She was savvy enough to handle herself against such sleaze.

“Yaser.”

With a comforting smile, Alexander cradled his phone and said, “Coral’s got a good head on her shoulders. You don’t have to

worry about her.”

Still, Yaser’s worry was palpable, his voice tinged with urgency. “It’s not Coral I’m fretting over. It's her boss! Rumor has it that

he’s drugged his employees before-real nasty stuff. And Coral is a knockout. If he sets his sights on her...” He trailed off, the

unsaid fears hanging heavy in the air.

Anaive beauty could have easily fallen prey to a CEO’s machinations, a little cunning all it would have taken to lead her astray.

“Here’s what we'll do,” Alexander mused, his voice a gentle murmur. “What's the company’s name? I'll help you figure this out.”

Yaser immediately answered, “It’s called Aarison Auto-Electric. I don’t know the boss’s name, just that he’s a foreigner with tight

ties to a big domestic group. Something like... New Evan Energy Group.”

New Evan Energy Group?

The name Aarison Auto-Electric did not faze Alexander, but New Evan Energy piqued his interest, a subtle wave of intrigue

washing over his face.

In a world where oil and gas were dwindling, new energy was the next big play. New Evan Energy stood at the forefront of that

frontier, a titan of Regulus Windsur’s empire. Behind that giant? The true power lay with Walganus Capital, the mighty Duncan

family-one of the nation’s elite.
