Chapter 333
Alyssa bit her lip and continued: “I even think that they have stolen Grace out of the package and it has something to do with what they want to hide!”
This time, the answer to her was the long silence on the other end of the phone.
Alyssa didn’t hear Karl’s voice for a while, and said aloud, “Karl, what’s wrong with you?”
Karl’s tone was very strong: “I see, do you remember what I said last night? Don’t worry about this.”
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Alyssa looked at the phone screen that had returned to the contact list interface, feeling a little lost.
Why did Karl just hang up the phone like this?
He used to let her hang up first.
…
Karl hung up Alyssa’s phone, squeezed the phone firmly in his hand, and the joints of his fingers were a little white.
When Smith came in with a stack of documents, he saw Karl standing coldly in front of the French windows.
He put the file on Karl’s desk before calling him: “Sir.”
“Is there any smoke?”
Karl didn’t look back, but he was asking Smith. After all, he and Smith were the only people in the office.
Smith didn’t smoke much, but he always carried cigarettes.
He took out the cigarette case, took one out and handed it to Karl.
Karl did not pick up the cigarette he handed over, but took the entire cigarette box over, and took the lighter in his other hand along with it.
Karl lowered his eyes, drew a cigarette between his lips, and said indifferently, “You go out.”
Smith hesitated for a while, and still reminded Karl: “There will be a meeting in ten minutes…”
Karl didn’t speak, and knew that he had listened.
His duty is to do his own job well, as for other things, he can’t control it.
After Smith went out, Karl stood in front of the French windows and smoked one by one.
Ten minutes later, Smith came again to remind him that the meeting was about to begin.
As soon as he entered the door, he was coughed by the smoke of the whole room.
Karl was still standing in front of the window, and walked over to say respectfully: “Sir, the meeting is about to begin.”
eyes caught a glimpse of the cigarette butt falling on the ground next to Karl, and the empty cigarette case was also on the ground.
Karl didn’t have any addiction to smoking, why did he suddenly smoke so much?
Did he argue with the young lady again?
This time it was so noisy that he had to smoke so much?
When Smith was thinking about everything, Karl had already turned and strode out.
Smith quickly brought the materials needed for the meeting and went to the meeting room with Karl behind him.
All top management has arrived.
“President, this is our latest revised plan. Take a look…”
Karl stretched out his hand to take it, swiped his eyes and leaned back, without saying a word, his black eyes were deep, making it hard to see what he was thinking.
The high-level person who handed over the plan thought Karl was dissatisfied, and his expression turned pale, and the others looked at each other and did not dare to speak.
Smith took a sideways glance at Karl, and he knew that Karl was actually not angry because he was not satisfied with the new plan, but was thinking about things.
The meeting room was quiet, and no one dared to speak.
After a long while, Karl raised his eyelids: “You have nothing to say? Then let the meeting end.”
After he finished speaking, he got up and left the meeting room.
As soon as Karl left, the other people in the meeting room began to talk quietly.
When Smith was about to follow up, he was stopped by a certain senior: “Mr. Smith, the president’s attitude, is he satisfied with the new plan, or not?”
Smith pulled the corners of his lips, where did he know.
Smith was already able to deal with these matters a long time ago, and he suggested: “I am not very clear, otherwise I will help you take it over for the president to look at it again?”
The high-level manager quickly showed a smile: “Then I will help you in trouble.”
“This is my business.” Smith took the file and went out.
When he arrived at the office, he saw Karl sitting at the back of the office, holding his mobile phone with a serious expression, not knowing what he was doing.
Smith guessed that Karl had something on his mind, put the file there, and went out.
When he went out, Smith was still muttering in his heart, it seemed that Boss and young lady had a serious quarrel this time.
Karl looked at the screen of the phone, but actually didn’t do anything, just a little uneasy.
don’t know how long it took, Karl stood up, picked up his coat and walked out.
Smith, made a cup of coffee to be sent to the president’s office. He saw Karl coming out of it and hurriedly said, “Sir, where are you going?”
“Don’t follow me.” Karl said without looking back.
…
Karl drove directly back to the old house.
There is no one at home in the morning on weekdays.
“Sir is back.”
“Hello Sir.”
A servant greeted him along the way.
He went straight to Lina’s room, reached the door, and directly stretched his hand to open the door.
Hearing the sound, Lina turned to look at Karl, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes: “Karl, why are you here?”
“I have something to do with you.” Karl stood at the door and did not enter, looking gloomy.
Lina seemed to be a little afraid of him, and the expression on her face became a little stiff: “If you have anything, just come in and talk.”
Karl did not go in. He stood at the door with a terrifying cold expression, “Who is Gerald’s biological mother?”
There was no change in Lina’s expression. She shook her head and said, “don’t know.”
“Really don’t know?” Karl walked inside, locking his eyes fixedly on her body, making Lina feel an extremely strong sense of oppression.
Lina took two steps back subconsciously, his voice still calm: “I really don’t know.”
Karl stared at her for a few seconds, curled his lips, reached out to support Lina’s shoulder, and his tone became gentle: “Why is my aunt so afraid of me? I just asked about it curiously. After all, I and Gerald have been cousins for almost 30 years…”
Lina seemed to be shocked by the speed at which Karl changed his face. She was stunned and said, “I know, you and Gerald shouldn’t accept this easily…”
“What can I do if I don’t accept it, after all, it’s a family.” Karl retracted his hand and put his hand into the pocket of his suit pants, his tone returned to his usual indifferent tone: “Auntie has time to visit Adams’ family. You haven’t been there for years.”
There was a hint of surprise in Lina’s eyes: “Okay.”
“I have something to do, let’s go first.” Karl said, turning around and walking outside.
Lina said: “I will give it to you.”
Lina sent him out of the old house and returned to the car. Karl opened his hands, and inside was a woman’s long hair.
It was a piece of hair he picked from Lina’s clothes when he held her shoulder.
Chapter 334
How could he not think of the things that Alyssa could think of?
Although he had prepared for the worst, he still felt a little unbelievable when he peeled away the barriers that were hidden from the outside, and the secret that seemed to be related to the truth appeared.
After all, they are relatives whose blood is thicker than water.
Lina has always treated him well. Gerald was once his best elder brother, and Trevor was also the father who gave happy memories in his childhood.
He was indifferent but not cold-blooded, and he had a brief hesitation when everything pointed to this possible truth.
He didn’t confirm it right away, but was waiting. There might be another turning point.
However, even Alyssa can think of such a deep level of things, what else can this matter turn around?
Over the years, enough people have been implicated.
Things have to be resolved.
…
Smith found that after Karl had gone out in the morning, he had not come back.
He tried to make a call, but Karl did not answer.
He knew that Karl was irrational in matters related to Alyssa. He had smoked so much in the morning, and the two must have quarrel very badly.
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, so he had to call Alyssa.
When Alyssa saw that the caller ID was Smith, she was slightly surprised: “Smith? Is there anything wrong?”
“Young lady, did Boss come to you?”
He was used to calling Alyssa “Young Lady” at night. Alyssa corrected him several times, but he still called her that way, and Alyssa had to go with him.
“Isn’t he supposed to be in the company, why would he come to me.” Alyssa was checking information in front of the computer, and she frowned when she heard him say that: “He is not in the company?”
When she heard him say this, she became even more worried.
“Uh…” Smith wanted to ask if they had quarreled, but felt a little bit difficult to speak.
“Just say what you have.” Alyssa pushed away the computer in front of her and talked on the phone with Smith seriously.
Smith gritted his teeth and asked: “Did you…have a quarrel with Boss?”
It’s probably not much to be a special assistant to make him like this.
In addition to caring about Karl’s whereabouts, schedule, and life, he must also care about his emotional life…
Alyssa immediately denied: “Who dares to fight with him! Nothing.”
Where did she dare to quarrel with Karl, most of the time she provokes Karl, and Karl can beat her with just one look.
Still arguing? nonexistent.
“No?” This time it was the turn of Smith, shocked: “In the morning, Boss smoked a whole box of cigarettes in the office.”
It turned out that Karl smoked so much, not because he quarreled with Alyssa.
Hearing what he said, Alyssa couldn’t sit still at once, and stood up from the chair: “What happened?”
While talking on the phone, she went to get her bag, went to the door to change her shoes, and walked straight out.
Smith said in a serious tone: “Don’t know, Boss left in the morning, and he has not returned yet.”
Karl is a highly self-disciplined person, and he is serious and focused on everything. He has never left suddenly halfway through work before.
Of course, if it was because of Alyssa and left halfway, this would not be counted in it.
“I see, I’ll go out and look for him.”
Alyssa hung up and drove downstairs.
Karl must have something to smoke a box of cigarettes.
It was fine when he went out in the morning, why did he go to the company?
Alyssa called Karl while driving.
Karl did not answer the phone, but he sent her a text message back with only three simple words: “What’s the matter?”
Alyssa asked where he was, and he stopped talking.
Alyssa first went to Karl’s apartment, and then to Best Day…
She found all the places she could, and finally called Peter.
“Alyssa, what’s the matter?” Peter later learned that the person k!ssing Alyssa in the car was Karl. He was still a little bit sorry for the misunderstanding of Alyssa, so he received Alyssa. The tone of the call was particularly eager.
Alyssa asked directly, “Have you seen Karl?”
Although Karl returned her text messages, he had improved compared to the last time she didn’t answer her phone call last night, but Alyssa did not feel at ease.
From Smith’s narrative, it is obviously possible to infer that Karl’s mood is not right.
“No! I see Mr. Adams now, just like a commoner sees the emperor. If it weren’t for his private visit, where can I see him!”
Speaking of this, Peter felt angry.
Alyssa sighed, “I see.”
Seeing that Alyssa was about to hang up, Peter quickly asked, “What’s wrong? What happened to him?”
“don’t know, I just don’t know where he is. I have looked for him in all the places I should look for, and I haven’t found him.” Alyssa’s tone was weak.
She thought she knew Karl, but at this time she realized that she actually didn’t know him that much.
“Um…” Peter thought for a while, and said, “There is another place, you must have never looked!”
Alyssa asked immediately: “Where?”
Peter: “Cemetery!”
…
After Alyssa and Peter met at the gate of AdamPic, they went to the cemetery where Karl’s mother was buried.
Karl had not taken her there yet.
When Alyssa saw the flower shop on the road, she bought a bunch of flowers.
Peter was sitting in the co-pilot’s seat, and when she saw her buying, he said, “I’m interested.”
When the two went to the cemetery together, Peter did not drive.
Alyssa curled her lips and revealed a very shallow smile.
When the two arrived at the cemetery, it suddenly started to rain.
Fortunately, there is a spare umbrella in the Alyssa’s car.
Peter wanted to take her up, and the two of them went up with an umbrella.
At this time, the cemetery was very quiet, and no one came to pay homage along the way.
The cemetery was built on a mountain. After Alyssa went up, she saw a slender figure from a distance.
“It’s Karl!” Alyssa said, and ran towards him.
Peter took the umbrella and ran behind: “It’s raining, what are you running for! We’re all here, just walk with caution!”
Alyssa didn’t listen to him at all, so he had to follow Alyssa with the umbrella.
As a result, he realized that he could not keep up with her…
“Karl!” Alyssa ran over holding the flower.
The rain was heavy, Karl’s clothes had been soaked with water, his black hair was soaked, and it was put on his head in bunches, looking a little embarrassed.
Alyssa didn’t get any better.
Seeing Karl standing here intact, Alyssa didn’t have time to say anything, she turned to look at the tombstone.
The rain was so heavy that she couldn’t open her eyes.
