“Truly, I’m okay,” Lily said helplessly, “Do you want me to get out of bed and turn around so you can see that I’m all right?” She was about to lift the blanket and get up when Alexander pressed her down onto the bed.
He said disapprovingly, “Don’t be naughty.”
The word naughty was supposed to be for a child. Lily nodded, “Don’t worry. I’m genuinely fine, but you don’t believe me.”
“I was at ease before this, but now I can’t help but worry about you,” Alexander sighed and continued, “How did you provoke them?”
After some thought, Lily said, “I don’t know who they were. Only when Frank appeared later did I realize this was all because of him.”
“That name sounds familiar.” Alexander had never met Frank before. He heard Lily mention him a few times but felt that he was unimportant and did not take it to heart. He felt a little familiarity when he heard Lily mention him again.
“Mel and Nate invited him to help them once, but he wasn’t a company employee, and I don’t know their relationship. However, I am certain that Frank is targeting me.”
“That is to say. This is all because of Mr. Hall again?” Alexander furrowed his eyebrows angrily.
Lily noticed his anger and cupped his cheeks with both hands. She looked into Alexander’s eyes and shook her head, “Not really. It might be Melanie’s intention, or it might be Frank’s instead. He seems to be interested in me.”
Alexander narrowed his eyes when he heard her last sentence, “What did you mean when you said he’s interested in you? How come I didn’t know about this?”
“Oh, it’s just a small matter. Frank wanted to molest me before, but he failed. I even taught him a lesson, so I don't know if the incident this time is related or not. It might also be related to the perfume sampling conference.
“After all, Melanie also advanced into the final round. They could be lovers since I heard both of them are in a relationship.” Lily tilted her head and was deep in thought. All of these were just her speculations. After all, she did not get an answer when she asked Frank.
That lunatic did not say anything except shout non-stop that he wanted to sleep with her. After that, the police arrived before she managed to get an answer. It was unbelievable. In the movies, the police would only arrive after everything had come to an end. It would seem that the police were efficient this time.
“Regardless of the reason, I will not let him live!” Alexander's whole body emitted a dangerous demeanor as he said so. He was like an enraged beast who would bite off the enemy’s neck the next instant.
Lily could feel his anger, and it made her tremble. It was not because of fear but because she was touched and felt warmth. Alexander’s anger showed that he cared about his wife. He was outraged because someone had hurt Lily.
“The police have already caught Frank. He was the mastermind behind the kidnapping, colluded with internationally wanted criminals, and took drugs. These crimes would guarantee him a bad life. You don’t need to take action, Alex,” Lily gently held his hand and continued, “He’s not worth your time.”
Alexander’s fingers were slender. Although there were thin calluses on his fingertip and joints, it did not affect the perfect proportion of his hand. Those were a pair of hands that could significantly impact the business world and determine its direction. It was not worth it to be stained with the blood of such people.
“What about the drugs?” Alexander was shocked.
“What do you want to know about it?”
