Chapter 233
His Lordship Alexander Kane
The deaths of Drake and Ghost Sword did not cause any ripples in Woolpackton. He had washed his hands off
the underworld business before his passing. The Rectewald Mall had also been handed over to a professional
manager to oversee.
Tommy Lind was the boss of Woolpackton that everyone knew of.
Three days later, a middle-aged lawyer entered the safety and security department of New Chesire Group with a transfer
agreement.
âMister Kane.â He noticed the tag on Alexander that stated âHead of Securityâ. The middle-aged lawyer was a little suspicious, but
he maintained his professionalism. He smiled and said, âThis is the transfer agreement
for Rectewald Mall. Please have a look.â
Alexander did not look at the agreement. He was silent for a few seconds.
The moment the lawyer arrived, he knew what happened to Drake. The Rectewald Mall transfer agreement
was the assurance that he had left for his daughter, Acela.
To put it accurately, it was a thank-you gift for Alexander. He was using this to ensure that Acelaâs life was
protected.
âMister Hardy had instructed that if he doesnât contact me within three days, I should hand this over to you,
Mister Kane.â
The middle-aged lawyer placed the agreement down and shook his head a little. âI donât understand why
Mister Hardy would do this, but from the moment I hand this over to you, youâre the new owner of Rectewald
Mall. As the legal advisor, Iâm willing to continue working for you, Mister Kane.â
âYour benefits remain the same.â Alexander kept the agreement and waved. âReport yourself to the HR
department. From today onward, you'll be part of New Chesire Group legal department. You may go.â
The middle-aged lawyer looked delighted. He bowed at Alexander before quickly heading to the HR
department.
âAmber.â Three minutes later, Alexander entered the General Managerâs office. He placed the agreement on her
desk and said gently, âMister Hardy is dead.â
Behind her desk, Amber sprang up in reflex. She looked stunned. âMister Hardy...â She flipped through the
agreement, looking extremely conflicted.
For New Chesire Group, attaining the Rectewald Mall was no small gain, but why would Drake do that? How
did he die?
âHe is survived by his daughter, Acela.â
Alexander did not offer much explanation. He pointed at the phone on the desk. âGet the HR department to deal with this. Give
her a job. A mid-level position, even.
âWe'll keep Rectewald Mall for her. If one day, sheâs willing to take over, we'll draft another agreement and
415 BONUS
Amber pondered for a while before nodding. She asked softly, âT-Then, what type of job should we give her? Will she agree to
it?â
Alexander hummed in thought.
Although Drake did not have a good relationship with his daughter, he was dead. Even if Acela did not say it
out loud, she had long forgiven her father.
The earlier she got to work, the easier it would be to distract her. She would be able to come out of the grief
quicker as well.
âRectewald Mall is mainly an entertainment place. We'll place Acela in the marketing department.â
Alexander turned and headed to the window. He said emotionlessly. âPeople in the marketing department will always have to
socialize and go on business trips. Theyâre usually more in touch with the entertainment side. It'll be easier for her to take over
the Rectewald Mall from there in the future.â
âAlright, then.â
Late at night, in the suburbs of Olâ Mare.
Acela was on a swing in the courtyard of a three-storey mansion. She had a photo in her hand. Tears
streamed down her face.
The photo was of her when she was young, and Drake was pushing her on the swing. They got a house staff
member to take the photo for them.
The photo was still there, but her father had passed away. He even arranged everything for her in her life.
For the past 20 years, he had always loved her.
âMister Hardy... Dad!â At that moment, she hugged the photo and sobbed.
At the same time, a van was parked about 300 meters away from the mansion.
A cigarette butt flew out of the window.
âGordon.â In the passenger seat, the young man who had just flicked the cigarette butt turned to look back at Gordon and
snickered. âWe've looked into it. Acela Hardy is here. Drake had hidden her in plain sight, so he
didnât arrange a bodyguard for her.â
Gordon was smoking a cigar. He finished smoking the cigar before slowly getting out of the van. He waved his
hand.
âLet's go get her!â
