Chapter 38
Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Alice had witnessed how Drake had his phone calls hung up. She expected the same treatment for herself. She looked at the children and decided to try it anyway, for their sake. If her call were hung up, she would have it out with the couple. After all, it wasn’t as if she was terrified of people like them. And now, it was Alice’s turn to call the number on the name card that the children gave her. Daniel was in a meeting room on the top floor, listening to a report by his senior staff. There was no need to come to the mall in person. Rachel Kaur had made him come, though Daniel did not understand her reasons. He was about to end the meeting when he repeatedly received a call from an unknown number. His face darkened several shades perceptively. When the third call came from the same number, he reached out and hung up. He also blacklisted the number. “Meeting is over!” Daniel said after he had done all that, rising from his seat and getting ready to leave.
Yet his phone began ringing once more. It was another unknown caller. Positioned right next to him, Daniel’s secretary had seen the whole incident and the thunderous look on Mr. Kaur’s face. She cursed silently. Who was the idiot who kept calling Mr. Kaur? Daniel was initially going to hang up on this call as well, but upon seeing the number on the screen, he paused. Wasn’t that Alice’s number? Rachel had called him one morning a while ago and proceeded to lecture him on not remembering his wife’s birthday, phone number, and identity number. He had deliberately memorized Alice’s number since then. Why would Alice call him on his work phone? Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Had she finally decided to end her pretense and come to lay all her cards on the table? He knew it! Alice knew his true identity and had laid a bait and trap for him! With that thought in mind, Daniel’s face darkened even more. The whole meeting room felt as though it had suddenly descended into the artic. The occupants shivered and cowered. The secretary and senior staff held their breath, waiting cautiously for Daniel’s next move. They saw Daniel pick up the call. A sweet feminine voice came through from the other side of the line. “Hi, is this Mr. Kaur? I am so sorry for interrupting you during your work hours.” Daniel’s aura changed when he heard her words. If she addressed him as Mr. Kaur, did it mean she was still in the dark about who he was? “If you know you are interrupting me, why did you call then? You should hang up right now.” Daniel’s voice was, as usual, hard and cold. On the other end, Alice’s brows furrowed at the icy tone. Why did Mr. Kaur’s voice sound so similar to Daniel’s? Then she saw the stunned faces of Drake and the others. She did not waste any time and continued speaking more softly and respectfully. “Mr. Kaur, I’m the actress Alice Doyle. I am with Mr. Drake Holmes at one of your malls, purchasing household items. However, we are having some disagreements. “He and my children made a bet. If I call you and you pick up the call, he will apologize for his actions. That was why I—” Alice had not finished her explanation when Daniel interrupted icily, “You do not need to apologize to him.” “What?” Alice was taken aback. She did not understand what Mr. Kaur was saying. “I will send someone to chase Drake away!” Daniel said, sending his secretary a look. The secretary comprehended what Daniel meant instantly. She gave instructions to the senior employees beside her to 1/2

Chasing him away was too light a punishment for him. All businesses of the Holmes family in Lonrid needed to end too! Alice was still feeling mystified when the call ended. Did the legendary Mr. Kaur order the mall cleared just for her and her sons? Wait a minute. She did not mention that she had sons. How did Mr. Kaur know? Send Gift Comment 2/2 11:47
