Alex's expression darkened. "Soon."
Garrett paused for a moment before gaping at Alex. "Master, are you going to..." He had thought that Alex was blinded by the humiliation and was planning to kill Jane.
Alex rolled his eyes at Garrett. "What are you thinking about??"
"Master, what do you mean to do?"
Alex did not answer his question directly, but instead said, "Go. Go back and find Lenny's number for me as soon as possible."
Not daring to ask any more questions, Garrett simply responded with, "Yes!"
He got up and followed Alex back to the car. After taking a few steps out, he turned around to gaze at the direction of Lenny's mansion. Jane and her old mother had already been taken into the mansion by Lenny.
At the time, there was only one person sitting inside the mansion, and that was the woman who Alex set free earlier that morning.
The young woman was one of Huron's five beautiful mistresses, and also the only woman who managed to survive. When she saw Jane coming in, the woman
immediately barked at her viciously, "Jane Sheen, what are you doing here?"
Jane did not respond to the woman. She knew that the young lady in front of her must have held a grudge toward her. As expected, the young girl started begging Lenny sweetly, "Master Powell, why are you taking this shameless beggar in? This woman is going to repay your generosity with resentment! She is even crueler than Master Alex of Kidon City! Back when I was with Huron, I treated her so kindly and she still would not tell Master Alex the truth. Luckily, Master Alex was sensible enough to let me go. Master Powell, I am not staying here if you are going to keep her around." She then started sobbing. "If Master Powell isn't willing to take me in and keep me by your side, then I'll just go!"
Jane stared at the young woman blankly. She had never expected for such a young woman to be so vindictive. Jane might not have begged for mercy in her place, but did Alex not let her go in the end? Besides, Jane could not even protect herself in that scenario, so how could she have helped her?
Seeing that the young woman had begun to cry, Lenny was instantly stuck in a dilemma. "Um..." There was rarely any man that could resist the temptation of beauty. He turned to Jane awkwardly and said, "See, m y little beauty doesn't want you here."
