Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Just a few million dollars were not enough to help the current situation of the Randolph family; they needed at least tens of millions of dollars! How could he not find out such a large sum of money? "There is a little clue, but it is still so obscure! Whenever the Randolph family reaches a deadend, Kieran takes a stroll, while he takes stoff to find a way out. Sometimes he would go to the casino or the financial center, and sometimes he would buy a lottery ticket! Of course, there's nothing wrong with trying out his luck every once in a while, but he almost never returns empty-handed! Moreover, the casinos he goes to are places where large amounts of cash flow take place. It is very clear that these places are suitable for money laundering!" Chet said.

He shook his head helplessly then continued speaking.

"This time, we've backed him into a corner, and yet he could still get a loan to buy several shares from a stock exchange center, and only paid part of the deposit. Moreover, he bought it for only three days as if he knew that the stock was going to soar. He took a loan of more than 30 million dollars and earned at least 10 million dollars within the snap of a finger. He didn't even pay for the capital himself. I heard that he had paid off the interest of 300,000 dollars later! Of course, he also took out five million dollars as a deposit in advance. The point was that the cheque was a loophole taken to his advantage from the money which was supposed to be payments for goods. It was not even his, to begin with!" This kind of opportunistic skill of his was impossible to defend against! "Maybe he had inside information?" Frederick asked.

"I thought so too! The stock was only listed last week, and it has been growing since. He bought it in the second week, and the price rose everyday. It's absurd that he was able to buy them! It only ever drops slightly. However, it started dropping a lot more today! The company and the stock investors are not in Casterwich City, but in Yecaeus City! It's a cultural diffusion company, and the company's business, investors, and branches are not related to Casterwich City at all!" Chet said.

"Yecaeus City?" Frederick asked.

What kind of connections did they have that could help him out this much? He was puzzled, "Do the Randolph family have any relatives in Yecaeus City?" Chet shook his head/ "This also leftpuzzled! There are none! I have deliberately checked it from both sides, and they don't have any relatives there! Moreover, I have checked the condition when the stock was listed and also the big investors, but none of them have any kind of relation with Kieran! Frederick, think about it, it's understandable if you know about stocks and earn smoney from them occasionally! You specialized in finance and used to work in the stock market. Do you even dare to invest largely in a new stock that doesn't have any analysis chart and is just based on the financial statement data?" "It is indeed illogical! Without inside information, even if this piece of data is real, it's way too risky! But Yecaeus City?" Frederick said.

It was not his own territory, so it must be much more difficult! Moreover, if he could access this kind of insider information, the other party should at least be of high-level position! It was impossible to leave no trace! "The relationship between these two must be something else. Moreover, it is so secretive. Could it be because..." Frederick raised his eyes and an idea flashed through Chet's mind. "It's clandestine?" Otherwise, why would the money have to be given in secret? Even if they were in contact with each other, it should not be a problem! Besides, the Randolph family is still considered reputable, so it would not be something embarrassing.

"A woman!" They reached an agreement. Chet spoke up.

"Then I'll check the wives and lovers of the relevant parties to see if there are any relationships between them. Frederick, the workload is really heavy. I'm almost as busy as a detective! The more clues I have, the more difficult it has become!" Chet was teasing when he suddenly thought of something. He straightened his back.

Then, he said, "By the way, I almost forgot one thing. When investigating the Randolph family, I accidentally found out from the information that was sent over, that Mrs. Randolph often visits a boy. He seems to be an adolescent, and his appearance resembles her!" While reporting, Chet flipped through his phone and handed it over.

"Frederick, it seems that the Randolph family has ssecrets! Additionally, I found out that Mrs. Randolph's monthly expenses are more than 100,000 dollars. When the Randolph family was on better terms, she should have had a lot of gold, silver, and money in her hands, but now, she only has one card under her name, and it has less than 500,000 dollars!11 "No way! I've heard from my family that Mrs. Randolph couldn't bear children anymore after giving birth to Danica. However, their family seems to be on good terms!" The parents were loving, and the children were filial. He had never heard of them quarreling over the fact that they could no longer bear any children! Frederick couldn't deny that they were somewhat similar! It was understandable that if Kieran had crooked thoughts, he might have wanted a son to inherit the family property, but with Mrs. Randolph being so virtuous...

He handed back the phone to Chet and said, "Find it out! Don't miss out on any clues! Maybe it would be useful in the future!" After sending Chet away, the office was once again serene, and his heart ached as if it was going to explode. He lit up a cigarette. The smoke lingered while his vision turned to the green plant at a corner. Was Ally really gone? Would there be any chance that she was still alive? He was imagining this kind of lucky scene again. He closed his eyes and felt sad inadvertently. His mouth twitched and murmured to himself, "What am I still dreaming for?" Half of the shop had collapsed; how could she still be alive? Even if she was still alive, how could she not contact him? Even if she did not contact him, she still had to live! Why were there no traces of her using her credit card? In Casterwich City, who else could she look for other than him? She hadn't even had tto tell him where she had arranged her parents to go abroad.

"Hubby, if you are not here, I will take good care of Grandma for you. If I am gone, can you take care of my mother for me?" This was what she had told him.

"Ally, are you punishing me?" He murmured.

You wouldn't even givethe chance to take care of your parents when you were gone! Were you m blamingfor not taking good care of you and makingowe you my life? "No matter where they are, I will find them and take good care of them for you! Ally..." He promised.

His heart was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe. He could only keep smoking, when night fell, Frederick picked up the car keys and went to East Bannpool. The night in the city was brilliant, dazzling, and colorful.

As he walked in, his eyes were attracted by the enchanting figure in a tight black dress on the stage. On the stage, under the light, the

woman's snake-like waist was squirming, making the crowd cheer O non-stop. At her navel, there were two Butterfly tattoos dancing gracefully, shining, and stirring up lonely souls. "Butterfly, Butterfly!" The world seemed to have fallen into silence. In his eyes, there was only the dancing figure, clapping hands, and the repeating familiar shouts.
