Chapter 631
Three days later, in the evening.
The weather was cold; so, Evelyn Thompson had soone prepare hotpot to warm them up.
Winter nights ca early. It was not even six o’clock, and the sky was completely dark. Evelyn stood at the doorway for a long ti, her brows slightly knitted.
William Foster stepped forward and draped a shawl over her, saying, "Just go inside and wait. Since they said they would return, they will definitely co back."
Evelyn looked at the main gate and said, "No, I asked Cain to pick up Wandy when he ca back; I don’t know if he went or not."
She looked at her husband and added, "That girl is quite pitiful, living alone. I don’t know what her parents were thinking, leaving her on her own."
William smiled, "You have a kind heart, but think about whether it’s appropriate. Cain and her are male and female acquaintances after all, and our family’s enthusiasm might make the young miss misunderstand."
Evelyn wanted to say sothing but stopped. She suddenly couldn’t co up with a counter-argunt.
After a while, she said, "Well, just invite her occasionally, not every ti. Besides, Chlo-Chlo is here too; she’s a girl, so inviting Wandy isn’t that inappropriate, is it?"
William smiled helplessly and did not argue with her.
Satisfied, Evelyn turned around and looked at the delicious food almost ready in the kitchen, sighing wistfully, "If only Alex hadn’t gone on a business trip, this would be perfect. Oh, Jack, go ask Miss Chloe Collins to co over for dinner."
Jack, the servant, nodded and walked towards the neighboring house.
When William heard her words, he thought of sothing, his brow slightly furrowed.
He took out his phone and made an international call to Alexander Foster.
"Dad."
"How is the investigation going?"
Alex: "Yesterday, my n infiltrated as undercover agents, but it’ll take so ti."
"Mmm," William nodded and continued, "This isn’t the first ti we’ve been frad. This ti, the other party blatantly hid contraband on our passenger cargo, clearly provoking us. We must not let them off."
Alex: "Things aren’t that simple. It involves people from the Dark Alliance."
William’s eyes darkened: "Dark Alliance? Didn’t I tell you to cut off all contact with them? Are you still not out?"
Alex: "Don’t worry, the goods were placed on the ship by the Dark Alliance, and they also bought off the people. To find out the truth about this matter, I can’t completely cut off my contact with them."
William was silent and serious for several seconds.
"Alex, tell , are you hiding sothing from ?"
Alex: "I’ll handle it properly; there’s no need for you to worry."
"How can I not worry? I finally pulled you out of that ss, and now I have to watch you fall back into it?"
"Rest assured, since I promised you five years ago to manage the company well, I won’t break my word."
William didn’t know what to say. His son was obedient, but it seed like he only listened verbally.
Behind his back, Alex had done things that William, as a father, knew nothing about.
He sighed, "Anyway, rember that there’s your dad, mom, and brother at ho. You can’t let anything happen to you."
"I know."
"Alright, we are about to have dinner here too, so I’ll leave it at that."
"Dad, how’s Chlo-Chlo?"
"At ho, if you miss her, co back as soon as possible."
With a hint of anger, William ended the call.
Evelyn had been listening on the side, her expression a bit heavy.
She stepped forward to hug her husband and said, "It’s been so long since those things happened; don’t think about them anymore. Alex is doing fine now, and he listens to you, coming back to manage the company. Over the past few years, he has been very well-behaved, and he won’t rebel anymore."
