Chapter 145
Karl let her go after hearing this.
He stepped back and looked at her: “But they deserve to die.”
“You did everything possible to force my grandfather back, do you want to kill my grandfather?” Alyssa’s heart felt a little cold.
She hypocritically thought that she had some place in Karl’s heart, but Karl’s words denied her idea.
“No.” Karl said indifferently, “Of course I won’t do anything to your grandfather. He didn’t participate in that case. He was just the one who was bought by the Adams’ family.”
“Then what do you want to do by forcing him back?”
Alyssa couldn’t understand Karl, but she vaguely understood one thing.
Karl’s mother was abused and humiliated to death by those people back then, and Earl’s father would know about it, most likely because of some chance coincidence, he also participated in it.
The world was never black and white, and Alyssa didn’t know how to evaluate Karl’s actions.
However, she still felt a bit of pain for him.
With such a wonderful mother, if his mother was still there, Karl would definitely not be what she is today.
He must be the man whom all men admire and make all women crazy in financial magazines.
However, because of his mother, everything he did in the first half of his life was just to find the mastermind behind the kidnapping case.
Living in hatred and guilt, no matter how noble his status is, no matter how powerful he is, he is not happy.
“Why did the Adams’ family want him to go abroad? Because he makes some people feel uneasy in the country.” Karl paused and continued: “Once he returns to the country, some people may not be able to sit still.”
Karl didn’t know what she was thinking, he curled his lips and smiled.
It’s just that the smile doesn’t reach the bottom of the eyes, with a bloodthirsty coldness.
It was not Karl’s smile that made Alyssa’s hair frightened, but his words.
“You’re talking about’some people’ referring to Adams’ family?”
Alyssa felt that she must have misunderstood.
However, Karl’s wider smile told her that Karl’s words were serious.
Alyssa suddenly thought of what Isabel had done back then. Although she was still shocked, she no longer doubted it.
…
The next day.
Alyssa woke up and habitually took out her mobile phone to surf the Internet, and found that the major platforms and web pages had been slaughtered by the incident of Mr. Adams’ return to the country.
There are financial news and entertainment news.
For a time, it was very lively.
Fifteen years ago, Mr. Adams was regarded as a celebrity in Rostenvel. He had a very good relationship. Many people who were more powerful and wealthy than him were also willing to make friends with him.
However, just as this family was flourishing, Father Hunt suddenly went abroad.
It’s been fifteen years since he went out, and now he’s come back suddenly, and it’s no surprise that it will attract media attention.
But it is a bit too exaggerated to allow so many media to report.
Karl beside her also woke up.
He slept with Alyssa in his arms last night. Just after she woke up, he pulled his hand away and moved to the edge of the bed. Now his arms are empty.
Karl showed dissatisfaction, and pulled Alyssa into his arms again, with his chin resting on the top of her hair, his eyes swept across her mobile phone inadvertently, and she whispered, “What do you think of it?”
There is a hint of pride in his tone, like a kid who has done something he thinks is great and is asking for praise.
Alyssa couldn’t laugh or cry: “Why did you let the media report about my grandpa?”
She was not as smart as Karl, and sometimes she couldn’t keep up with his thinking.
“It’s nothing, I just want those who should know that Elder Hunt is back.”
After Karl finished speaking, he suddenly took her mobile phone away, and took her hand into the quilt, with a dark voice: “We can do something meaningful.”
Alyssa heard the abnormality in his voice, but it was too late.
Her hand was forced by Karl to press on his body, and her hand seemed to be melted away by the scorching heat.
“I want to get up and go to work!” Alyssa’s face flushed all at once.
Turn off the lights at night and do whatever you need.
Now it is dawn, and the room is bright, her face is not as thick as Karl’s.
“Well, then we have to hurry up, or we will be late.”
“No…meet…”
…
Facts have proved that a creature like a man, even if he usually looks calm and self-sufficient, is the same on the bed-shameless.
After the two were over, it was not far from working hours.
They got up and washed together.
Alyssa was sitting in front of the vanity mirror and putting on makeup, and Karl stood aside watching her with interest.
She couldn’t help but urge him: “You can leave first when you are done.”
Karl’s lips curled, and his low voice was rare with serious gentleness: “You look good enough without makeup.”
He praised her very seriously.
Alyssa turned her head away from him: “When you first saw me, you said I was too ugly.”
“It’s already ugly.” Karl said bluntly.
Alyssa: “…” She suddenly felt that Karl’s mouth was very lucky to have her marry him.
“But…” Karl said again, “So ugly, why didn’t I k!ss it? Can I k!ss you after Norris?”
Alyssa retorted him: “Because you have a strong taste.”
“No matter how heavy my taste is, no ugly woman can be in my eyes.” Karl’s tone sounded quite complacent.
Alyssa heard her heart beat fiercely.
The cold man is not inferior when it comes to love.
…
When the two went downstairs together, Luther was standing in the middle of the living room carrying a schoolbag, looking at them with a serious face.
He shook his head and said, “The two of you are really getting too much lately. First, Sister Alyssa was lying in bed, and then now are the two of you lying in bed together?”
Alyssa smiled with a guilty conscience, and said nothing.
Karl glanced at Luther coldly. He quickly turned around and walked outside while saying, “The weather is getting colder and colder. Everyone wants to sleep in bed. This is normal.”
Alyssa went to the company and found that neither Colin nor Isabel came to work today.
At noon, Alyssa received a call from Rachel.
“Alyssa, your grandfather is back home, come home for meal at noon.”
Alyssa directly agreed: “Okay.”
She didn’t have any impression of Mr. Hunt. Mr. Hunt was a kind person in her memory. Compared to other family members, he treated her pretty well.
But at that time, because of his busy work, she had two siblings, Isabel, and he did not pay much attention to Alyssa.
She put her phone away and walked out of office, and saw Karl.
He leaned against the car, tall and slender.
“Why are you here?” Alyssa ran over.
“People from your family called you and asked you to go home for meal?”
“Ok.”
“I’ll go with you.” After Karl said, he opened the door and pushed her into the car.
Chapter 146
Sitting in the car, Alyssa glanced at Karl from time to time.
Karl looked at the front and focused on driving without squinting, but he seemed to have eyes growing on top of his head, and suddenly asked her, “Why are you looking at me?”
“No…” Alyssa hurriedly turned around.
She felt that Karl was really a very powerful person.
After Mr. Hunt returned to the country, people from Hunt family might call Alyssa to go back to dinner and meet, but it doesn’t have to be noon today, and even if he guessed it, shouldn’t he call to confirm?
And Karl came directly, indicating that he had no such doubts at all, and he didn’t think his guess would be wrong at all.
He is a very confident person.
…
The two soon arrived at Hunt’s house.
When the doorkeeper saw Alyssa, they all bowed respectfully to say hello: “Miss Alyssa.”
Alyssa directly led Karl towards the inside.
There was no one in the hall, and there were voices in the kitchen.
“Alyssa! You are back!”
Rachel walked out of the kitchen, and when she saw Alyssa, her eyes narrowed with a smile.
Alyssa yelled, “Mom.”
After Rachel walked in, she saw Karl standing behind Alyssa, her entire expression changed.
She glanced at Karl, and she pulled Alyssa hard and walked aside: “Alyssa, why did you bring him back? You are not a fool! You and him…”
Rachel seemed to feel that the following words were a little difficult to express, and she paused before saying, “Even if you have an unusual relationship with him, you wouldn’t be so unscrupulous to take him home! This lets Karl know what you do!”
What should Karl know?
I don’t know, he wanted to come anyway.
“What can I do? I’ll know if you know it!” Alyssa looked indifferent.
Rachel still thought that Karl was “Luther”, and Alyssa came back with him. Naturally, she thought that Alyssa had an improper relationship with “Luther”.
However, Rachel’s attitude was obviously different from before.
Every time she saw Alyssa and “Luther” together, she would scold her. This time, although she disagreed in her tone, she was only worried that Karl would know about it.
This change of attitude is really intriguing.
Alyssa didn’t plan to entangle Rachel on this issue, and asked directly, “Where is Grandpa?”
She and Karl both wanted to see Mr. Hunt.
“In the study room upstairs, I will take you.” Rachel said as he walked upstairs.
Not two steps later, she turned her head and saw “Luther” still following Alyssa, her complexion changed slightly: “Alyssa, you…”
Alyssa didn’t seem to see Rachel’s thoughts, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Rachel said with a rare stubbornness: “Mr. Hunt stays in the living room to drink tea. Alyssa just goes up to see her grandfather and will come down soon.”
“It’s okay, I’ll go up with her.” Karl said lightly.
Then he stretched out his hand to hold Alyssa and walked directly upstairs.
The house of Hunt family was built by Mr. Hunt when he bought land in his early years. The house is relatively large, and there are many rooms on the second floor.
Karl asked her, “Where is your grandfather’s study?”
Although Mr. Hunt has lived abroad for a long time these years, he has kept it in the study room of the family. Every once in a while, a servant will clean it.
“This is it.”
Alyssa took Karl to the door of study. She and Karl looked at each other before reaching out and knocking on the door.
An old but powerful voice soon came from the room: “Come in.”
Alyssa pushed the door to enter, and at a glance, she saw Mr. Hunt standing in front of the bookshelf and looking through a book in his hand.
Mr. Hunt’ name was Douglas Hunt, and he was in the first group of people who went to sea to do business in the last century.
He is courageous and knowledgeable, but he does not have business acumen.
It can be seen that he has been well maintained over the years. Although his hair has become sparse, it is neatly combed. Wearing a pair of reading glasses, a well-groomed shirt and a waistcoat, he looks as elegant as a person. Old university professor.
Alyssa basically had no impression of Douglas. Seeing him standing in front of her this time, she finally had a three-dimensional awareness of this “grandfather” in her mind.
She yelled: “Grandpa.”
Hearing her voice, Douglas raised his head to look at her.
Although he is over seventy years old, his eyes are still very sharp.
He looked at Alyssa’s eyes that were strange at first, then seemed to think for a while, and said aloud: “Is it the third child? Alyssa?”
This “third Child” sounded inexplicably kind.
Alyssa nodded: “Grandpa, it’s me.”
“You were so little when I left.” Douglas said, comparing one to the height of the desk: “In the blink of an eye, you are already this big.”
He walked around the desk towards Alyssa, his tone quite emotional.
Only then did he notice Karl standing behind Alyssa.
Douglas’s pupils shrank abruptly, his expression slightly changed.
Karl took a step forward and stood closer to Douglas, so that Douglas could see his face more clearly, and said quietly, “Mr. Hunt, long time no see.”
Douglas’s complexion changed several times, and finally calmed down. He asked uncertainly, “Are you… Karl?”
“It’s me.” Karl curled his lips, but there was no smile on his face.
The atmosphere in the room became a bit stiff in an instant.
Alyssa did not expect that Douglas would know Karl.
“you……”
Douglas corrected what he was about to say, when a servant’s voice suddenly came from outside: “Sir, it’s time to eat.”
“Go to eat first.” Douglas glanced at Karl again, turned and walked outside the door.
Alyssa glanced at Karl, walked behind him, and asked him, “You and my grandfather have met before? Does he still know you?”
Karl did not deny, but answered very simply, “Yes.”
…
When Alyssa and others arrived at the restaurant, the other three of Hunt family had already sat down at the table.
Seeing that Alyssa brought “Luther” back to Hunt’s house with such a big fanfare, Isabel sneered and said, “Alyssa, today is our family time, what are you doing here with an outsider?”
Although “Luther” looks good, he has never called her. She now looks at Gerald and feels that Gerald has a higher status than “Luther”, so naturally she doesn’t bother “Luther” looked in his eyes.
Before Alyssa could speak, Douglas looked up and gave Isabel a cold glance.
Although Douglas also loved Isabel and her brother, he would not spoil them brainlessly like Colin. He was relatively harsh.
Isabel was also a little afraid of him, and quickly lowered her head and stopped speaking.
