"I've had him checked. It's false. I've sent them away, too," Sebastian said quietly.
Simon stared at him speechless. The boy was trying to scare him on purpose! He grinned as he put his arm around Sebastian's shoulder. "In fact, I've thought if I do have an illegitimate daughter, I'll marry her to you..."
Sebastian darkened and acted as if he didn't hear anything. His adoptive father had been used to joking and always said sothing that made others speechless.
Heather looked at Sebastian as he left. After he was gone, she turned around and saw Alexander standing at the door of the room, his eyes very deep.
Her heart sank.
She hurried to co to Alexander, took his arm in a natural way, and explained, "Alex, Sebastian is my cousin. We've been growing up together. Don't think too much..."
He reached out to caress her hair. "Mmm. I believe you."
She was relieved. She lifted her head and looked at his face with infatuation.
His face began to overlap with his appearance when he was eight years old in her mory. So... it was really him. Heather was a little pleased in the heart.
Her behavior puzzled Alexander. He touched his face blankly. "Is there anything on my face?"
She shook her head and said with a smile. "No, I just think you're very good-looking. I was stunned."
He looked at her suspiciously.
"Co on, let's go, we've got sothing to do," she said and took him by the hand. They entered the room together.
In the room, Malcolm wasn't as scared as he had been. His eyes flashed with cunning as Heather and Alexander walked hand in hand.
"What does Allen want to do?"
"Alexander asked, commanding.
"You want to know?" Malcolm asked and budged a little. "But I'm tired, so I can't rember anything. You know what? You let go, and then you give tens of millions of dollars for ntal damage. Perhaps I'll rember as soon as I am pleased."
All of a sudden, Heather sneered. This Malcolm still couldn't figure out what was going on now.
Alexander waved, and two of his bodyguards directly lifted Malcolm.
Thinking the bodyguards were going to untie him, Malcolm said proudly. "That's right... Ouch, hold on! What are you doing? Where are you taking ?"
Alexander looked at him coldly. "Since you have forgotten it, I'll try to make you rember. Don't worry, I'm not Sebastian, I'm not going to let you die. At worst, my n can't control their strength and kill you by accident."
His words were clearly calm, but in Malcolm's ears, every word sohow made him shiver! Alexander was no kinder than Sebastian. They were both very terrible!
"Aren't you afraid I'd rather die than confess?" Malcolm shivered and said as he didn't want to give up.
Heather tried very hard to keep a straight face and thought, "Rather die than confess? Malcolm isn't that kind of person at all. How did he talk himself into saying that?"
"Malcolm, you have mistaken the situation," Alexander looked at him coldly. "You aren't eligible to make terms with us."
Malcolm's heart sank, but he was still reluctant. "Allen Christopher really has a sche. If you don't listen to , you'll be trapped..."
"To us, his so-called plots are nothing more than irrelevant," Heather calmly interrupted him. "Neither Allen nor you can hurt Alexander or . Malcolm Carter, if you confess, we can consider letting you go. If you don't, we'll be on guard against Allen at most. Do you think Allen Christopher can really make Alexander and get into trouble?"
Heather's words left Malcolm in despair.
Only then did he realize that Heather was telling the truth.
He wanted to plot against Heather, but he failed. How could they possibly be afraid of Allen? Now he had to trade Allen's sche for Alexander and Heather's letting him go. He wasn't in a position to negotiate with them from beginning to end, but he hadn't been aware of this at all.
"Take him out and help him rember," Alexander said to his bodyguards in an indifferent air.
As he was about to be taken out of the room, Malcolm was thoroughly flustered and hurried to yell, "I'll tell, I'll tell you everything!"
Alexander beckoned the bodyguards to drop Malcolm.
Giving him a frightened look, Malcolm didn't dare to play tricks and faithfully said, "Allen Christopher is going to Grandpa Joseph's birthday party."
In a flash, Alexander's face darkened. He turned to Heather and explained, "Grandpa Joseph is my grandfather."
"Allen Christopher said you and Heather would definitely be there that day, so he bought off a waiter. The waiter will put so aphrodisiac in Heather's drink, and then Allen will show up, and I'll bring so people to the room..."
Malcolm didn't go on, but Alexander and Heather understood what he ant.
"So you were inspired by him and wanted to do that in advance?" Heather was so sick of them! Did these two n really think they could control her in this way?
"I, I..." Malcolm was too scared to speak.
"I've told you everything," he said carefully.
"Can you let go?"
Heather looked at Alexander. "What are you going to do?"
Alexander's cold eyes fell on Malcolm. "Mr. Carter, please stay in my place for another two days. I'll ask soone to TREAT you well."
"Please let go, I..." Malcolm was so frightened that his whole face turned pale. "I promise I won't tell Allen anything. Really..."
"Mr. Carter, you misunderstood," Alexander said lightly. "I won't do anything to you. When my grandfather's birthday party is over, I'll let you go."
Before Malcolm could say sothing, he had been directly taken down by two bodyguards.
"Have you any other plans?" Heather looked at Alexander curiously.
"Yes," said Alexander, coldness flashing in his eyes. "Either it's him or Allen Christopher, since they dare to use such dirty ans on you, they must pay for it! Did I freak you out, Heather?"
He looked anxiously at her as if thinking of sothing.
With a smile playing on her lips, she reached out to take his hand. "Alex, I know you're doing this for . How can I possibly be mad at you since you're nice to ? Whatever you do, I'm on your side."
For so reason, his heart was warm sohow. Suddenly, he thought of Sebastian King, and his mouth tightened into a thin line.
He had noticed Sebastian before, but it was only now that he suddenly understood what Sebastian was in Heather's life.
