Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1173

He had nothing to say. At that moment, all he did was murmur to himself. "I've swept through the entire mountain, but she was nowhere to be found. She must have been lying when she said she was on the mountain!"

Sabrina laughed coldly. "Jane will never lie. If she said she's on the mountain, then she's definitely on the mountain. It's just that she decided to move away the moment she heard you say you wanted to find her."

Alex sighed. Subconsciously, he choked on a sob. He felt a sense of despair in his chest. He never expected he would feel this way. He always thought he had no feelings for Jane, what's more love. They were just coworkers who were very compatible with each other. Jane said it herself, the day his true girlfriend came back, she would disappear willingly. Now that his true girlfriend was back, and true to her word, she disappeared. But his entire life was a mess. He was going to go crazy.

Right at that moment, someone called him. Alex thought it was news from the men he sent out to search for Jane. He immediately answered. "Hello?"

It was a call from his father, the man rarely interfered with his personal life. Old Master Poole said on the other end of the phone. "Alex! What do you think you're doing!"

Alex’s voice immediately sounded downcast and dispirited. "What do you want, father?"

On the other end, Old Master Poole said furiously," You're too much! Previously, you were together with that woman named Jane Sheen, no one in the family was against your decision, right? None of us mistreated her too, yet you didn't treasure the relationship. You broke up with her and said you wanted to be with Lily! But now, what about Lily? Again you chose to break up with Lily. You're already i n your thirties, you have brought shame upon our entire family!"

Alex sighed. "If you have nothing important to say, I'm hanging up now."

"Come back to Kidon City immediately!" The old man ordered.

"Why?" Alex asked.

"Come back and marry Lily! This is an order! I've decided on your marriage with Lily." The old man rarely meddled in his son's affairs, especially his youngest son. He had already surpassed his father at a young age, and was now the symbol of power and influence in Kidon City.

Hence, the old man kept one eye closed whenever it came to his son, and lived like a free bird, not meddling in any worldly affairs. But this time, he was determined to see his son marry Lily. 1

Alex laughed dispiritedly, then ended the call without answering the old man.

On the other end, the old man was so infuriated he was about to burst a blood vessel. He turned and said t o Lily's parents, "My old colleagues, my mates! Don’t worry, he is a filial son. That’s why this time, we'll definitely support Lily!"

The moment the words left the old man’s mouth, Lily’s parents felt relieved. Their daughter had been living a wild life for countless years. As parents, they were always worried about her. Every moment of every day, they were hoping their daughter would come home and quickly marry Alex. Thus, they were endlessly assured to hear the old man's promise.

After leaving the Poole family home, Lily's father called his daughter, "Lily, don't worry, Uncle Poole has agreed to your marriage with Alex. And you, you can't be so self-centered anymore. You need to try to placate him, just give in to him more, okay?"

On the other end, Lily was delighted. "Did Uncle Poole really decide to set up my marriage with Alex?"

That was perfect!

After ending the call, Lily's dejected spirits rose again. She immediately dialed another set of numbers. "Hello ...is this the Shaw family?"
