Chapter 117
Karl ignored Peter’s convulsions. He looked back in Alyssa’s direction seemingly, and grabbed her who was about to run away.
Alyssa bit her head and turned to leave, but he stopped her.
“Alyssa.”
Alyssa turned to look at him, and pulled out a stiff smile: “You continue, I’m just passing by.”
After she finished speaking, she walked past them and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water.
When they came out, Karl and Peter did not speak any more.
But Peter smiled flatteringly when he saw her: “Alyssa, did Tina call you?”
“Yes.” Alyssa walked to the empty sofa opposite them and sat down with a cup of water.
Peter’s eyes lit up when he heard this.
However, Alyssa’s next sentence made the light in his eyes go out.
“She told me that you are a sc*mbag.” Alyssa smiled when she spoke, and she didn’t look aggressive.
But Peter couldn’t hear her badly.
“I was wronged. I didn’t have anything to do with those two women. I was there that day…” Peter suddenly stopped, he looked up at Karl and shut his mouth again.
Karl had to make it so mysterious and put that and AdamPic under his name, so that he wouldn’t dare to say anything.
“I drank too much that day, so I just stayed in Best Day without spending the night with the two women.”
“You and Tina will explain.” Alyssa looked at Peter coldly.
Peter helped her: “But she won’t answer my call.”
“You can go to her. You should know where she is. If you can’t explain even such a small misunderstanding, you should stop pestering her.” Alyssa didn’t intend to say more, and took a sip of the water in the cup. , We must get up and leave.
Karl, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly reached out and took the water glass in her hand and took a sip of water.
“That’s mine…” I drank it.
Seeing that he had drunk it, Alyssa swallowed the words consciously, but her ears began to turn red.
She was not as thick as Karl, and there were outsiders here.
Alyssa didn’t want the cup, so she turned around and ran upstairs.
Peter watched her go upstairs, and then thoughtfully said to Karl: “Why didn’t I think Alyssa spoke so sharply before?”
Without waiting for Karl to speak, he said to himself: “The tone of this speech is about to catch up with you.”
“Stop talking nonsense, go find your little star.” Karl had to get upstairs after speaking.
Peter was a little speechless: “Don’t keep me for a meal?”
Karl turned his head to look at him expressionlessly: “Go away.”
The bowl of salty noodles he ate this morning was still dipped in the light of Luther.
Since Alyssa knew that he was Karl himself, she hadn’t given him a good face, let alone cooking.
He didn’t have to eat, Peter still wanted to come to eat?
Peter didn’t know where he got Mr. Adams, but he had more important things to do now, and he didn’t have time to care about them.
…
Karl returned to the bedroom and saw Alyssa sitting on the sofa holding the computer.
She was wearing earplugs and looked at the screen without blinking, as if watching a movie.
Karl walked over, leaned over and took a look, and found that it was Gerald’s movie.
She covered her computer coldly.
Alyssa pulled off the earplugs and asked him angrily: “What are you doing?”
She seemed to want to get angry, but she was scrupulous. Although her face did not change much, there was still a slight anger in her eyes.
It looks a little cute.
Karl raised the corners of his lips and looked at her with a faint smile, “Have you heard it?”
Alyssa pretended to be stupid: “What?”
“Peter’s news was made by the Hunt family by deliberately buying out the media. Peter’s influence in the entertainment industry is not small. Their purpose is to divert the attention of the public, so that the Hunt family can get off the cusp.”
Karl spoke slowly, speaking calmly, but his eyes were locked tightly to Alyssa, observing her reaction.
“Who did it?” Alyssa thought for a while and said, “Isabel?”
Except for Isabel, the Hunt family was so confused, she couldn’t think of anyone else.
Although Peter is a member of the entertainment industry, AdamPic Media is the leader of the entertainment industry, and he is many times stronger than the Hunt family.
How could a person like him easily let go of Hunt when someone else pulled down the water to block bullets?
She also heard what Peter said before.
Karl was noncommittal, with a serious tone in his tone: “Do you want me to help Hunt’s through the difficulties?”
“What do you mean?” Alyssa felt that Karl had something to say.
“If you want me to help, I will help. If you don’t want me to interfere, I don’t care.” Karl showed a very shallow smile, with obvious connivance in his eyes.
Alyssa has always felt that Karl’s appearance is too good, and there are few people in the entertainment circle who look better than him. Even if there is, their temperament must be inferior to Karl.
Watched by him with indulgent eyes, Alyssa was in a trance for a moment.
Did he start teasing her again?
As long as she said a word, he would really do it?
The two people just stared at each other like this, no one spoke first, and no one looked away.
Until there was a knock on the door outside: “Sir, Madam, you can eat.”
Only then did Alyssa came back abruptly, bit her lip, and said, “I want you to help Hunt family.”
“OK.”
Without any hesitation, Karl gave her an affirmative answer.
She didn’t really want to help the Hunt family, she just didn’t believe what Karl said.
Helping Hunt is no good for him, but it is a troublesome and laborious task.
Smart people are often not willing to do this kind of thing.
…
After Karl promised to help the family, he quickly took action.
First, all the negative news about Hunt’s online disappeared, and then those companies that had already wanted to uncooperate with them changed their minds.
It didn’t take long for the Hunt’s family to be back on track.
There are even people who take the initiative to ask for financing for Hunt’s.
Alyssa saw all this in her eyes, and her mood was very complicated.
She thought Karl was just talking, but she didn’t expect that he would really make a move and help so thoroughly.
There are occasional posts discussing shady Hunt’s factory on the Internet, but they will soon be deleted.
The media and social media are like collective amnesia in the big V. Forget about this matter, no one mentions it again.
And Tina, who was doing film promotion in other places, also returned to Rostenvel. Alyssa was just paid her salary, so she invited her to dinner.
When leaving the work place, it was not Smith that came to pick up Alyssa, but another driver.
As soon as Alyssa got on, she reported the name of the restaurant: “Just take me to this restaurant, and don’t pick me up later, I will go back by myself.”
Luther had a fruitful harvest this year. After counting the primary school workbooks, he turned to ask her, “Where are you going?”
“Eating with friends.”
“I also need to go.”
Alyssa didn’t want to take him too much, but in the end she couldn’t get over it, so she took Luther.
As soon as Tina saw Luther, she asked Alyssa: “Whose child is this? I don’t know which child of your Adams’ family has such a good gene.”
Luther is a beautiful child with small curly hair and still childish, cute when he smiles.
Luther introduced himself familiarly: “My name is Luther.”
“Puff!” The tea that Tina had just drunk directly spouted out.
Chapter 118
Alyssa silently took two tissues and handed them to Tina.
She hadn’t told Tina about Karl’s affairs, so Tina was so excited when she heard Luther’s words.
Luther knew nothing about these twists and turns. He was obviously surprised by Tina’s reaction. After he sat down, he asked Alyssa blankly: “What’s wrong with my name?”
“It’s okay, your name is pretty good.” Alyssa patted his head.
Luther let out an “Oh”, and then sat quietly aside as a good baby, not at all as noisy as when he was with her.
The people surnamed Adams are better at acting.
“Luther is Karl’s cousin.” Alyssa organized her words, and continued to say in her sullen eyes, “The Luther you saw before is the real Karl.”
“Huh?” Tina was stunned.
For a long while, she frowned and said, “You mean, the previous ‘Luther’ was Karl himself, and this little cutie is the real Luther?”
“That’s it.” Alyssa nodded.
Turning her eyes inadvertently, Alyssa saw Luther blushing.
“Why are you blushing?” Alyssa was startled.
“Shy.” Tina still looked like a cloud of mist: “No, why did Karl pretend to be Luther? He is fine? Split personality? No, these are not the main points, the main point is Not only is he not disfigured, but he is super handsome!”
Luther, who had not figured out the situation, finally understood something at this time.
He frowned slightly and looked at Alyssa, and Alyssa poured him a glass of water: “Hey, drink water.”
After speaking, she raised her head to look at Tina: “You keep your voice down.”
Tina quickly reached out her hand to cover her mouth, and made an exaggerated zipper movement.
“Luther” turned out to be Karl himself. Not only is he not ugly, but he is also super handsome. That should be fine!
She was worried that Luther, a child, was here, and did not say anything. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Alyssa via WeChat: “Then he is not !mpotent? Have you tried?”
Alyssa didn’t answer her wretched question.
Tina turned her head and smiled and teased Luther: “Little cutie, how old are you?”
Luther’s face blushed again: “Fourteen.”
“Oh, you’ve grown this tall at the age of fourteen, and you will definitely be a handsome guy when you grow up.”
Luther is also not humble: “I should be.”
Alyssa, who had already experienced Luther’s narcissism, had developed immunity.
Tina was surprised at first, then hugged her belly and laughed.
Alyssa tilted her head and called to Luther: “Little cute?”
Luther blushed: “Stop calling…”
“Really shy?” Alyssa looked surprised. It turned out that Luther would be shy if she was praised.
Really… can’t believe it.
Tina has a lively temper, and Luther is also a talkative child. The three of them ate and talked very happily.
When the food was almost done, Luther got up and went to the bathroom, and Alyssa had the opportunity to talk to Tina about Karl.
“There is one thing I have never told you. Karl had a gunshot wound. He didn’t say a word or fainted from the bullet I took out of him.”
After Alyssa finished speaking, she saw her calm complexion slightly change.
The Adams’ family is a wealthy family, inherited over a century, and the family is very complicated.
Guns are not something ordinary people can have casually.
Tina frowned: “What the hell does Karl do? Why did he get a gunshot wound?”
Alyssa had been shocked by Karl’s extraordinary perseverance before, but forgot to pay attention to this issue.
Why did Karl get a gunshot wound?
What is he doing?
“In this way, things are complicated. A wealthy family like the Adams’ family cares about face, but they have allowed Karl’s negative rumors to ferment over the years, and they have also got him engaged to Isabel, even though they finally married But objectively speaking, even if Karl is really a waste person, he will not marry the Hunt family’s daughter.”
The two had a deep friendship, and Tina was telling the truth, and Alyssa would naturally not mind.
She nodded in agreement: “I also thought about this, but I can’t think of why. This marriage contract was made when my grandfather was in the country. It is said that he went abroad after the marriage contract was signed a few years ago. Things still have an impression.”
“I’ve also heard people say about this. Back then, Karl and his mother were kidnapped. When the Adams’ family went to save him, Karl’s mother was dead. Although he was alive, he was disfigured and made impot3nt. It didn’t take long for the news of the marriage to the Hunt family’s daughter came out.”
Some people in Tina’s family were in politics, and they knew a little bit more about this matter than others. Tina was a bit bigger than Alyssa at the time, and she heard something from the family.
But it is second only to these superficial levels.
Alyssa analyzed: “In other words, the reason why the Adams’ family let Karl and Isabel enter into a marriage contract might be related to the kidnapping case at that time?”
“There is such a possibility.” Tina agreed.
Alyssa was lost in thought.
The marriage contract between Karl and Isabel must not be that simple, and the sudden departure of Old Man Hunt must have something to do with this incident.
“Then what do you decide to do?” Tina had heard that “Luther” was Karl, and he was happy for Alyssa.
However, after Alyssa said this to her, she started to worry instead.
Those wealthy families, on the surface look very glamorous, there must be many shady activities in the dark.
Karl as heir to the Adams’ family, was able to hide his situation for so many years, and it was definitely not a simple role.
“I don’t know, take one step at a time.” Alyssa laughed at her.
From the moment she married into Hunt’s house, she couldn’t help herself in life.
Many times, people are pushed away by fate.
You can’t stop, you can’t go back, you can only be forced to go forward, maybe there is a way out, maybe there is an abyss ahead, and you can’t help it.
Tina didn’t know what to say, and the two fell silent for a while.
At this time, Luther came back.
There was another person behind him.
After Luther approached, he stepped aside and revealed the person behind him: “Sister Alyssa, this is my brother.”
Alyssa looked up and saw a familiar warm face.
“Elder Secretary!”
“Gerald!”
Tina and Alyssa exclaimed together.
Tina asked first: “Is the emperor Cain your brother?”
Luther scratched his head: “Yes, my brother.”
“Why is his surname Cain and your surname Adams?” Alyssa met Gerald several times, but never thought that he was also related to the Adams’ family.
Luther explained: “My brother takes my father’s surname, and my mother and I have the same surname.”
Gerald smiled towards Alyssa: “He is naughty, and causing you trouble.”
“…Fortunately.” Alyssa was a little confused.
