Chapter 0145
Three days had slipped by since Amber and Olivia were saved from the nightclub.
The branch’s big players had been lying low, and the surrounding areas of Ol‘ Mare
followed suit, enjoying an unusual spell of peace.
However, even in the face of unrest, Alexander would not flinch. New Chesire Group
was thriving, and their latest venture, the industrial park, was on track. Everything
was unfolding just as planned.
“Alex, what’s on your mind? Dinner’s ready!”
In the cozy living room of the Chesire family home in Belmont Hills, Susanne had
laid out a feast. She watched with a beaming smile as Patrick played with little
Olivia.
The recent kidnapping of Amber and Olivia gave her a real scare, and the fear lingered. However, with
Patrick’s leg fully healed and Alexander having hired elite. bodyguards for Amber and Patrick, she
could finally breathe easy. She had gone all
out with tonight’s dinner to celebrate the family’s good fortune.
“Dad.”
With bellies full and hearts content, Alexander, cradling Olivia in his arms, turned to Patrick with a grin.
“Your legs are back in action, so you’ll be taking on more at the company. Amber and I are going to
step out and pick up a new ride for you.
Patrick’s eyes shimmered with gratitude as he gazed at his daughter and son–in–law.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce upon a time, he had his gripes about Alexander. At this moment, however, the man could not
have made him prouder. What son–in–law could outshine Alexander
in devotion? He was truly blessed!
Post–dinner, Alexander was all business. He whisked Amber and Olivia off to the
Porsche dealership.
—
“Mister Kane, Miss Chesire, welcome back!” The red Porsche barely had time to park
before the cheerful saleswoman from their last visit greeted them with a wide grin
“You’re here for the car you dropped off for repairs, aren’t you? Mister Kane, you can
relax. The car’s been fixed up, good as new!”
When Alexander was in the market for his second car, he made it clear that the first one was a goner,
not worth the hassle of fixing. However, the dealership knew better than to mess around with a VIP like
him. They went by the book, haggling with the insurance folks until they hammered out a deal to get the
Porsche back in tip–top
shape.
“I don’t do cars with a past,” Alexander said, cradling Olivia in his arms. He flashed a frosty smile at the
saleswoman. “You’ve got a nice way about you. The car’s yours.
I’m in the mood for something fresh off the lot.”
Wait, what?! The saleswoman froze, her excitement nearly bursting into a scream.
A Porsche, one of those fancy limited editions worth a fortune, and Mister Kane was handing her the
keys just for being pleasant? That was beyond generous. It was like winning the lottery without buying
a ticket!
“She got the car…”
The other saleswomen at the desk watched, their jaws on the floor, kicking
themselves for their earlier snobbery.
Back when Alexander and Amber first walked in, they snickered behind their backs as they were sure
the couple were just tire–kickers. Then, the tables turned, and the snickers turned to groans of regret.
That was what they got for judging a book by its cover–they missed the boat on a whale of a client.
“Mister Kane, the car’s too much. I can’t possibly…” The saleswoman was genuinely
floored, her voice quivering.
“If I say it’s yours, it’s yours,” Alexander said, Olivia still in his embrace. He gestured dismissively. “Go
sort out the paperwork when you can. I’ve got bigger fish to fry-
I’m here to buy a car.”
The saleswoman’s eyes widened in shock, and it took her a moment to process that Alexander was not
pulling her leg. When realization dawned, she nodded eagerly.”

Right, a car purchase… Mister Kane, are you looking for the Porsche HBLY–GT again? We’ve got one
ready to go!”
Alexander gave a slow, deliberate shake of his head.
He was on a mission to pick out a car for his father–in–law, Patrick, the big–shot chairman of New
Chesire Group. The HBLY–GT, with its sleek, feminine lines, did not fit the bill for a man of Patrick’s
caliber.
“I’m in the market for something more business–like this time around. Something with a bold, sturdy
look that doesn’t scream ‘sports car‘.” He mulled it over, then flashed a smile. “But let’s not forget that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsafety and luxury are key. Price isn’t an issue–hit me with the best you’ve got.”
The saleswoman had been around the block a few times and knew the inventory
like the back of her hand. After a brief pause, she came back with, “Got it!
“Porsche’s latest venture into the executive world, the BL–JAZZ. It’s hot off the press,
a global trial release, decked out with all the top–tier features!”
Amber, who was within earshot, caught the phrase ‘global trial release‘ and her expression flickered
with concern. “Top of the line, huh? Sounds pricey.”
With utmost reverence and a smile that never waned, the saleswoman assured her, ” Miss Chesire, it’s
such an exclusive release that the company only made two. Our boss went to great lengths to secure
the rights to showcase it, and technically, we’re not even supposed to sell it. However, for VIPs like you
and Mister Kane, we’re instructed to pull out all the stops.”
She leaned in, dropping the bombshell, “The manufacturer’s tentative price tag? A crisp 1.8 million
dollars.”
Another jaw–dropping figure to add to the day’s tally.
Amber’s heart skipped a beat, and she could not help but turn a shade paler.
New Chesire Group had been through a rough patch lately. Just as things were starting to look up, they
still had a hefty loan from Ol‘ Mare Bank to pay off. All that, and Alex wanted to splurge on a car?
In those tough times, coughing up more than 1.8 million in one go was just
outrageous!
+15 BONUS
After all, those small–time families in Ol‘ Mare barely made that much in a year. Even the more
established families would not dream of spending that much on a car!
