Chapter 0011

As early as five years ago, Belmont Hills had been included in the city’s urban development plan. However, it was not demolished due to its remote location and limited development potential. Almost all the area’s original residents have moved out, leaving only a few retirees and some low–income workers who rented a few cheap units. Moreover, there were almost no nearby amenities, just a small convenience store selling everyday goods.

The luxury convoy, bearing the ‘ALEX‘ number plate, stopped slowly in front of the apartment building’s entrance.

“Ah, ah…” In the back seat of the car, Amber looked at the apartment building’s entrance, seemingly worried. Then, she quickly raised her hands, making rapid sign language gestures on her chest.

She said, “Alexander, please don’t let the convoy enter, and don’t allow these actors to get out of the cars! I’m touched by everything you’ve done, but my parents are quite traditional and don’t like these superficial displays. If they find out the actors were hired and the convoy was rented, they’ll be dissatisfied even if they don’t say it out loud.”

Alexander chuckled softly.

Rented and hired? He could not believe he had left such an impression on his wife.

After all, he was the Lord of War!

“Alright,” Alexander relented, not elaborating further. With a smile, he carried Olivia and got out of the car before waving casually to Maxine and walking into the apartment building with Amber.

In apartment building number two, unit 108, a run–down residence of less than 70 square meters, Patrick Chesire, the third son of the Chesire family, and his wife Susanne, had just finished preparing lunch.

They sat in silence and ate their meal, the atmosphere heavy.
