Chapter 699: Chapter 699: He Knew Her Little Secret Long Ago

"Chapter 699

The other party spoke quickly as if afraid of questioning. After finishing, they quickly hung up the call.

Immediately after, the phone rang again.

This time, it was a call from Tina Thornton.

"Hello? It’s me, Mr. Gale."

Robert Foster glanced at Chloe Collins, lightly cleared his throat and replied using a purposely deep voice: "Is it about Shelby Hamilton?"

"Yes, I just received a call. She said she doesn’t want it. She said my lyrics don’t suit her, but the company said there’s no issue. But she didn’t even give me a chance to change it, she simply said she doesn’t want it, I..."

Robert Foster said: "I’ll handle this, don’t worry."

After hanging up, he briefly explained the situation to Chloe.

Chloe thought about the lyrics of the song, and didn’t detect any major issues.

"It’s good that she doesn’t want it. Her voice doesn’t suit this song, anyway." She said softly.

Robert Foster was a bit annoyed and said, "Let’s ignore her."

After all, that was once his favorite idol. Suddenly realizing that his idol was entirely different than imagined, his mood soured.

Chloe gently patted his shoulder in a comforting manner and said, "I’m going to bed now."

Not long after, she returned to her room.

The room was brightly lit and she had no intention to sleep.

After standing on her head for over ten minutes and unable to settle down, she thought of something and sent a message to Alexander Foster.

[I want to read the middle and final volumes of that book.]

Three seconds later, her phone vibrated.

She quickly picked up her phone and glanced at the screen.

[Alexander Foster: It’s in the "A" section on Floor -1, third row, eighth and ninth from the left.]

The words "Floor -1" jolted Chloe’s eyes.

She suddenly sat up.

Staring at the calm words on her phone, her head began to buzz.

Alexander’s words suggested that Floor -1 was commonly known to everyone.

However, ever since she moved in, he never mentioned to her that there was a basement in this building.

She discovered it on her own.

So, the situation pointed only towards one possibility — he knew her secret all along.

As she was thinking, Alexander sent another message.

[The bathroom floor is slippery, be careful, don’t slip.]

Chloe: "..."

When did he find out?

At this moment, she suddenly felt like a child in front of him — unable to hide any secrets.

At this point, there’s no use saying more.

All she responded with was: Hmm.

After putting down her phone, she hugged her pillow and stared blankly for a while, suddenly revealing an unconscious smile.

-

In another city, Orlando.

Alexander stared at that "Hmm" on his phone and started to picture the adorable look of a puzzled girl in his mind. He couldn’t help but soften.

Maurice Willis stood nearby and noticed that his boss’ expression had softened a lot. He secretly sighed in relief.

During that conversation just now, Alexander’s face was icy cold, the atmosphere deadly serious.

Even after Milton White left, he didn’t dare to say a word.

Only after his phone vibrated and Alexander looked at his messages did his face soften.

Without thinking, he knew who had sent the message.

He silently thanked Chloe in his heart, then stepped forward and said, "Mr. Foster, the evidence Mr. White provided is sufficient for us to make an arrest."

On the table lay several documents and a recorder containing evidence of the conspiracy against Alexander.

The evidence pointed to an elder-level figure in the Dark Alliance, code-named Cold Lizard.

(Can you guess why Chloe is smiling?)
