Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1586

Lenny was not surprised when he received the call from Alex. He was the one who called Garrett saying that he needed instructions for certain matters during the day. However, when he received the call from Alex himself at that moment, he still felt frightened. It could not be helped. He just did.

"Why were you looking for me, Master Powell?" Alex asked.

"Here's the thing, Master Alex," Lenny said, stuttering the entire time. "For some reason, the people here in White Ocean City are quick to catch onto the news, they all...know that I met you once and that you are here for a business trip in White Ocean City."

"Get to the point!" Alex said impatiently.

"Um, there are people here in White Ocean City, all sorts of people, who...who want to welcome you here. You see... The venue for the welcoming party will be here in my restaurant. My restaurant is rather spacious, and it’s legal. The drinks and food served here are excellent as well. The chef... My chef isn't too bad, as well, you..." Seeing that Alex was not saying anything, Lenny changed the subject and said," Actually, it's okay if you don't want to attend. I...I am just informing you about it in their place. If you don't want to participate, I will tell them that."

Lenny was at a crossroads. He wanted to reinforce his

status in White Ocean City in the name of Alex's power; but at the same time, he was scared of Alex and of the possibility of having his entire home destroyed by Alex at any moment. To his surprise, he heard Alex's casual tone from the other side of the line, saying, "Fine."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you so much! " Lenny came close to falling on his knees while Alex had already hung up.

Meanwhile, the surprise reminded Lenny of Jane, who was outside the door. He could hear noises coming from outside the door, so he went outside only to find Jane passed out in tears. He immediately ordered two of his servants to carry her and got one of the older servants to massage Jane's head for her. Soon, she began to regain consciousness and cried, "Mom...!"

A few of the maids were crying as well. The mother and daughter had been good people. Though the mother could no longer work, she would still make shoe pads for the servants there and she was really good at craftwork. After making the shoe pads for everyone, she went to pass them around and said, " Please take good care of my Jane. She is a poor child who has to carry me along with her even though she i s pregnant. I am slowing her down."

Therefore, all the servants there had a great impression of the old mother. But why would she suddenly jump into the ocean to commit suicide?
