His Lordship Alexander Kane by Useless Caesar

Chapter 0025

“Four hundred fifty minutes?!”

Zoe froze in her bow outside the security door, fuming with rage.

Alexander, that jerk! How could he make her bow to Patrick and Susanne for 450 minutes in the hallway?! That was 7.5 hours!

“You bastard…” Zoe gnashed her teeth, wanting to curse at Alexander.

Of course, she did not dare to do that. She did not even dare straighten her back, let alone make a scene.

If she could not get Patrick and Susanne back, and if she could not secure Severn Group’s contract, Donovan would exile her from the Chesire family. He would kill her!

Thus, 10 minutes passed, which then prolonged to 30 minutes. It was not long until an hour passed.

Time crept by slowly.

“Um…”

Inside the living room, Patrick and Susanne watched the television with evident unease. Alexander remained composed as he played with Olivia, and their joyful laughter filled the room.

Amber, initially somewhat uncomfortable, gradually regained her composure and graciously served drinks and tea to everyone. The atmosphere was

harmonious.

Patrick hesitated and spoke tentatively after over three hours had passed, “Alex, shouldn’t we return to the company with Zoe? The cooperation with Severn Group is crucial. We can’t afford to delay it.”

Alexander cradled Olivia in his arms, making her giggle. He smiled at his parents- in–law and responded calmly, “Dad, Mom, there’s no need to rush. No one else but you two can sign the contract, and the Severn Group’s representatives won’t show up until you arrive at the company. Don’t worry. You won’t lose this deal.”

Patrick and Susanne exchanged puzzled glances.
