Chapter 49
His Lordship Alexander Kane
Back at the construction site, Amber beamed with joy as she successfully arranged the project. She prepared herself to face
tough challenges when she arrived at the site, but things had gone surprisingly smoothly. Even the subcontractors, who
previously gave her the cold shoulder, seemed to show a degree of respect and even flattery.
Amber cast a discreet glance at Alexander not too far away, feeling deeply moved. She was sure Alexanderâs earlier intervention
brought them all in line.
âMake sure to keep an eye on this area. Report any issues to me immediately.â Amber instructed before approaching Alexander.
Just a few steps into her walk, her phone rang. She quickly checked the caller ID and answered the call with a soft smile, saying,
âHey, Mom! I just finished work. I'll be back in a little while-â
Susanneâs sobs interrupted her. âHelp me, Amber! These people are accusing me of something I never did! You see...â
Susanne described everything that happened at the bank between sobs.
âLet's go!â Alexander, overhearing their conversation, swiftly pulled Amber along and rushed to their car.
With the engine ignited, their Porsche shot forward like a bullet as they headed straight for the bank.
Amberâs heart ached as they drove. Tears streamed down her face as she said, âMy mom has never been wrongly accused like
this before. Sheâs a prideful woman! This matter will surely...â
Amber could not believe that Susanne was falsely accused of being a thief by the bank and was being handed over to the police.
This might as well be a death sentence.
Although they had little savings and struggled financially, they would never resort to illegal and shameful activities.
âMy dad has never even scolded her since they got married, yet those staff at the bank...â
Amber covered her face and cried in frustration.
Alexander gripped the steering wheel tightly, his expression icy as he sped toward the bank at maximum speed.
Meanwhile, in Jamieâs office...
Susanne, face stained with blood and her hair tousled, buried her head in her arms, trembling with sobs.
âHave you called your family? Hmph! You're a thief, and your whole family is no good. In a while, we'll send all of you to the
police station!â
Jamie crossed his arms, his face full of disdain.
The tough alloy security door of the office was kicked open from the outside with tremendous force.
âWhat the hell? Who is that?! How dare they cause trouble here!â
The two security guards reacted reflexively, drawing their rubber batons and swinging them down forcefully.
âFuck off!â
Alexander did not bother to dodge and threw powerful punches.
Before the security guards even processed Alexanderâs movements, they found themselves beaten bloody. They were sent
crashing into the wall, leaving a trail of blood and broken teeth on the floor.
This shocking scene stunned Jamie and Cindy, and they quivered with terror.
âSâSecurity! Help, quick! We need help!â
Alexander snorted and grabbed Jamie by his suit collar, lifting him into the air with a single hand.
âHow dare you mess with my mother. Youâre digging your own grave!â
Jamie trembled in fear, unable to utter a single word.
Was this the son of the so-called âthief? How terrifyingly brutal!
âY... Your mother stole someone elseâs card, yet you still dare to cause trouble! I'll report this to the policeâargn!â
Cindy stuttered as she attempted to take out her phone, but Alexander delivered a backhanded slap that sent her sprawling to
the ground.
Jamieâs eyes were wide with shock, and he found himself wetting his pants out of sheer fright.
Did she just accuse them of stealing someone elseâs card?
Alexander glanced at the Centurion card in Jamieâs hand.
This was clearly his card!
âYou mean this one?â Alexander stared at the card and said in a cold, low voice, âThis card is my motherâs allowance! You call it
stealing?
How foolish!â
Jamie was initially stunned, but a mix of anger and embarrassment quickly washed over him, and he burst into laughter. âDo you
even know what this card is? And you called it an allowance? You're just spouting nonsense!â
This prestigious card had a minimum balance requirement of 150 million dollars, which was a higher value than that of a
medium-sized publicly traded company! This man dared to call it an âallowanceâ?
He should have come up with a better lie!
Jamie thought Alexander must be foolish to think he was clueless.
âHmph!â
Alexander had no patience for Jamieâs antics. He tossed him aside with a flick and then took out his phone, quickly dialing an
international number. He sternly said, âGet your CEO on the line!â
This was a direct line set up by the American Express headquarters for the convenience of their top-tier clients worldwide. Soon,
a familiar voice came from the other end.
âRight, why did you suddenly call-â
Alexander did not wait for him to finish and scolded, âYohannes, I need an explanation. One of your underlings is acting all high
and mighty, even bullying my mother! It seems Iâm no longer worthy of the Centurion card you gave me, huh?â
On the other end of the phone, Yohannes was so shocked that he spilled coffee all over.
He quickly shot a fiery glare at his assistant. âInvestigate this matter! Hurry! Donât waste a single second! We canât afford to
offend this
man!â
