His Lordship Alexander Kane
Chapter 0380
In a luxurious presidential suite on the top floor of the Olâ Mare Seaside Grand Hotel...
After a long day hanging out with Coral, Amber worked on her laptop, catching up on some work for New Chesire Group. As
soon as she entered the bathroom, the sound of running water came through.
âWanda is so beautiful, and she sings so well too!â
Coral, in her silk pajamas, laid barefoot on the sofa in the living room, holding Wandaâs autograph gleefully.
Alexander smiled. He was just about to speak when the doorbell rang.
The clear sound of the doorbell rang out in the distance. Coral was alerted. She quickly put down Wandaâs signed photo and ran
to get the door.
It was the head of the Saunders family, Roslyn Saunders.
âYou are?â Goral eyed the beautiful woman in front of her. She was stunned for a moment, but she quickly turned to look at
Alexander suspiciously.
âIt's so late now. Who is this woman looking for? I heard that my cousinâs husband had been to Zabaleta before. Could it be...?â
âlam a friend of Mister Kaneâs.â Roslyn introduced herself and gave a friendly nod to Alexander, who sat on the sofa. Then, she
said with a smile, âYou must be Miss Braine. Am I right? Welcome
to Zabaleta.â
As she spoke, Roslyn stepped into the living room but did not take a seat. She quietly waited for Alexanderâs reaction.
âMy wife is in the shower.â Alexander stretched out his hand and pointed to the bathroom, not looking at Roslyn. He said softly, âIt
doesnât matter why you are here, but get out of here before my
wife comes out.
âWhy is he so cold to me? Is it because I am not pretty enough?â Roslyn wondered.
Roslyn decided to make small talk to get rid of the embarrassment. She dared not step out of line in front of the man. âMister
Kane, it is thanks to Mister Kane that the Saunders family has been
able to enjoy what we have today, so...â
She watched Alexanderâs face, but he showed no change of expression, so she continued, âTo express our highest gratitude, I've
invited some counterparts from Zabaleta to a special social
+15 BONOS
âNo need for that.â Alexander did not need much consideration; he shook his head firmly. âI have no interest in Zabaletaâs social
circle.â
Roslyn had anticipated Alexanderâs response, so she continued with a confident smile on her pretty face. âMost of the friends I
invited to the gathering are from the pharmaceutical industry.
âAs the market leader in the pharmaceuticals industry in Olâ Mare, the New Chesire Group would be able to meet a few more
distributors at this gathering. Iâm sure Mister Kane will find this offer very appealing.â
Alexanderâs gaze turned slightly cold. âAre you investigating the New Chesire Group?â
âCalm down Mr. Kane. I wouldn't dare!â Roslynâs expression changed slightly, but she quickly corrected it. She lowered her head
slightly to show her meek side. âIâve done no such things. On the other hand, the news spread all over Zabaleta because the
New Chesire Group is such a big
and reputable name.â
Roslyn raised her hand to gather a strand of hair and tuck it behind her ear, then she continued to speak gently, âSince your
marriage into the Chesire family, the rise of the Chesire family, the establishment of the coastal area of Ol' Mare, the fall of Mister
Hardy, then the reshuffling of
power in Zabaleta...â
Well aware of what Alexander had done and putting it all into a timeline, Roslyn finally raised her gaze and looked into
Alexanderâs eyes. âFrom the trajectory of Mister Kane's actions, I assume your goal is the north.
âZabaleta is not only the gateway to the north but also the most important link between the north and the central regions. It is a
great springboard.
âIf the New Chesire Group gets a firm foothold in Zabaleta, it'll be a great help in entering the northern market. I was only trying
to help by organizing the social gathering. I donât mean any harm to Mister Kane and the New Chesire Group.â
She paid attention to Alexanderâs expression as she spoke. She was ready to stop talking if
Alexander frowned.
âYou are very clever.â Alexander sighed and replied with a smile, âIf you are the head of the Saunders family, I am sure your
family will remain the best in Zabaleta for fifty years. Youâve
earned it.
âI might go and check out the gathering tomorrow. You can go now.â
Joy flashed across Roslynâs face. She bowed slightly to Alexander, nodded to Coral next to her,
+15 BONDS
As soon as she stepped into the corridor, a thousand pounds of weight seemed to be lifted from her chest. She raised her hand
to feel her damp back, and even her dress was soaked with sweat Her slender, straight legs trembled. She was so intimidated.
âAlexander...â
She recited Alexander's name in her heart. She could still feel her heart racing as she had a flashback of the conversation
earlier. If she had said anything wrong, even just one word, she knew she would have dragged the Saunders family down with
her. That man would see to that.
