Chapter 981
Stenson brought a dozen men to retrieve his people at 9.00PM.
"President Griffith, someone saw your men take two of my underlings to your house. Go ahead and bring them
here."
Stenson wasn't acting all haughty because of the two underlings. They were just one of the many pawns the family
had. Their life and death were none of his concern.
He came here to let Alexander know that he was king in Wegas. He could mess with whomever he wanted without
needing to be afraid of the other party knowing. Anyone who went against him would only have hell to pay.
Stenson was now arrogantly sitting slumped on the single couch with his right leg over his left.
Alexander continued to smile innocently as he pretended to not know what was going on. "I don't understand what
you mean, Mr. Stenson. Other than you and the people you brought, no one else has come to my house today."
"Stop pretending. My men went missing when they were following your woman. Where else can they be if not
here?!" Stenson yelled angrily.
He quickly came to a halt after he blurted that out. Alexander hadn't even mentioned Elise being tailed. He was only
exposing himself.
However, he quickly calmed the look on his face and said in a holier-than-thou manner, "Society can be a messy
place. I only got my men to protect your woman because I was worried that someone would do something to her. I
didn't think they would disappear just like that. No matter what, I demand an explanation from you today."
Raymond, who was standing beside them, heaved when he heard those words. His fists beside his torso were
clenched so hard even his joints were creaking.
Shameless pig! He dares to speak so arrogantly when he's the one who got his men to follow someone else's wife!
Right then, footsteps were heard upstairs as Elise came downstairs with the two children.
She wanted to see who the hell it was who dared to plot against the wife of the Alexander Griffith.
The mother and children walked to Alexander, and the man brought Alexia to sit on his lap. Elise and Irvin then
each next on both his sides.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe four of them exuded different vibes, but they were an imposing sight to behold.
Stenson's gaze had been on Elise from the moment she appeared. He was now staring at her unscrupulously
without any intention to hide the dark desire in his eyes.
Alexander took a good look at the expression on Stenson's face. He swiftly placed the child in Elise's arm, effectively
blocking whatever look Stenson was sending her way.
Stenson smacked his lips disgruntledly but even as he looked away, he let out a smirk that made him look as though
he was still reminiscing the view that he was enjoying a few seconds ago.
Irvin immediately narrowed his eyes as an evil glint flashed across his gaze.
The next second, he stood up and walked over to Stenson. He then turned his back to the man and began to fiddle
with the cups on the table.
Right when Stenson was unguarded, Irvin took out the spray that he had prepared a long time ago and sprayed the
inside of the cup a few times before slipping the bottle back into his pocket.
He proceeded to pour water into the cup and smilingly served it to Stenson. "Sir, please have some water."
A child who was as beautiful and obedient as Irvin would always win hearts.
"Good boy." Stenson patted him on the head and unsuspectingly took the cup over. He drank half the cup of water
in one go.
The smile on Irvin's face instantly disappeared when he saw Stenson's Adam's apple bobbing up and down. Dusting
off the place the man patted him, he returned to his seat and glared at Stenson.
Irvin's family could only hold back their laughter after they witnessed the whole process.
The aloof boy would never smile at strangers. Even though they had no clue what drug it was that he put in
Stenson's water, they thought it was worth it being able to encounter this.
Stenson grumpily shrank back when he saw the sudden drop in Irvin's face.
Little brat! Why is he friendly one second and hostile the next? he wallowed.
And so, he turned around and mocked Alexander, "I heard that these aren't your children, President Griffith. The
child next to your woman is also her ex-husband's. You don't have your own flesh and blood even at this age,
President Griffith? Surely it's not because you can't perform well in bed!"
"It sounds like you're interested in trying me out yourself!" Alexander put on a surprised and slightly regretful face.
Eyebrows raised, he muttered, "It's unfortunate that I have no such interest. You have so many men who work for
you, Mr. Stenson. I'm sure there's at least one of them who can satisfy you."
"You—" Stenson squeezed the armrest of the couch and was about to blow up. However, he managed to hold it in
before he suggested disgustingly, "It's fine if you can't satisfy me. Your woman can. How about you lend her to me
for a few days?"
Alexander's face immediately turned grim as he parted his thin lips and lightly called out, "Raymond."
"Yes, Boss!"
Raymond had been gearing up for a long time now. As soon as he received his order, he took off his jacket and
showed off his taunt muscles before he dashed toward Stenson's men.
It was him alone against the group. But even though he had to fight against ten people with only his fists, none of
Stenson's men stood a chance against him as he landed one punch on each of them.
This was also an eye-opener for Elise. It seemed that Raymond's combat skills were on par with Narissa's.
While watching the commotion, she sneakily glanced at Clement, who was standing off to one side. He was as still
as a log standing there, completely uninvolved in the matter. It was as if he was sure that Raymond would be able
to solve this alone.
This was probably their tacit understanding of each other after working together for so many years.
Sure enough, Raymond had ended the fight in less than five minutes. He had beaten a dozen people so badly they
couldn't stand up, and had now turned back and grabbed Stenson by the throat.
Stenson was still fearlessly provoking Alexander even at this moment. "You wouldn't dare kill me. Kill me, and the
Hellen Family will make sure you go down with me!"
Alexander stood up and took Raymond's place to grab Stenson's jaw.
Stenson immediately stiffened in pain when he felt his bone on the verge of breaking.
"I'm showing you mercy this time but if this happens again, rest assured that your luck will run out by then."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlexander condescendingly warned and loosened his grip as he threw Stenson aside. As he turned around and
wiped his hands, he hissed, "Take your b*tches and get out of here before I change my mind."
Stenson clenched his jaw and fumed while he glanced at Alexander. He finally scrambled to his feet and fled.
Seeing this, his underlings quickly crawled out as well.
"Boss! You're going to let them go just like that?" Raymond still hadn't had his fill of beating them up.
He was disappointed by how fragile the foreigners were. The few that he beat up earlier couldn't even count as a
warm-up.
“Gratitude and grudges know no end. We're letting these small-timers go to hook in the big fish. The Hellen Family
won't be looking down on us anytime soon after this."
Alexander was no longer the bachelor he was in the past. He didn't want to do anything too extreme that would
implicate his family.
Even so, things didn't end well for Stenson.
He started itching everywhere on his way home. Not even scratching all over helped with the itch.
After he got home, he called a few underlings, and he got in bed as naked as the day he was born before all of
them helped him with the scratching.
It went on for three whole days before the skin of his face was torn. For the next two weeks or so, he had no choice
but to put on sunglasses whenever he went out for fear of being recognized.
A week flew by just like that.
When Elise and her family were having breakfast one morning, Irvin suddenly stood up and solemnly announced,
"Daddy, Mommy, I think we should invest in Paul Heidelberg's company."
"And since when are you interested in Daddy's business?" Elise could tell something was up. "Why do you think
that?"
"First of all, the Heidelberg Family's research and development team has a strong background. Dozens of new
drugs have entered the experimental stage. As long as they are released, the stock price will definitely rise. The
development prospects look promising."
