Chapter 988 Still Alive

Albert's behavior rendered everyone speechless.

He was so scary when someone else asked about that person, but now that Ashlyn is the one asking, his attitude

changed totally!

At that thought, the guests all stared at Ashlyn with envy.

After all, not everyone had the privilege of being so close to Albert.

“That kid did not pass away; he's just not with me anymore. I hope there will be fewer strange rumors like this in

the future. That person's living very well! Stop spreading things that I don't want to hear.”

Albert's tone was laced with displeasure, and his words were obviously directed at the person who raised the

question.

“I understand, Mr. Newman,” the man replied nervously.

Realizing what Albert meant, the guests gasped in surprise.

So that legendary person is still alive? Then why isn't he with Mr. Newman? How could Mr. Newman bear to let such

an impressive talent leave his side?

“Ms. Berry...” Albert let out a long sigh. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he held himself back.

Finally, he stood up and croaked, “I'm a bit tired. Please excuse me.”

With his back crouched, he walked past Ashlyn, looking as if he had aged overnight.

Ashlyn pursed her lips upon seeing that. She couldn't stand it when Albert pretended to be weak and pitiful in front

of her.

He's a powerful figure who can shake up the entire H Nation with a wave of his hand. Why does he put on such an

act all the time?

Despite that, her heart would always soften when she saw Albert acting like that. Just when she shook her head

helplessly, Albert suddenly turned around with reddened eyes. “You heartless brat. Do you not pity me at all?”

“Stop trying to trick me into doing what you want, and don't think of using my sympathy to your advantage,”

retorted Ashlyn while casting him a lazy glance. “Hurry and leave this place. Go back to where you should be.”

At that, Albert felt even more frustrated. He straightened his back in a huff and strode away vigorously.

This was the first time the guests ever witnessed a big shot acting like a child toward Ashlyn.

While the crowd was coming to terms with what they had just witnessed, Lucas leaned into Ashlyn with a playful

glint in his eyes. “Honey, are you hiding something from me?”

“No. I swear,” Ashlyn said innocently.

“Really?”

Lucas felt doubtful when he recalled how many alternate identities Ashlyn had before.

“Really,” insisted Ashlyn.

She looked around and saw James still conversing with others, with Joseph beside him at all times.

Sienna, on the other hand, felt uneasy after witnessing the exchange between Albert and Ashlyn.

Surprisingly, Dixon was nowhere to be seen.

Ashlyn raised her brow in intrigue. “Tonight's event is a great opportunity to meet people. How come Dixon is not

here?”

“I asked Spencer to keep an eye on him,” Lucas said, his eyes darkening.

At the port by the river, countless stars twinkled in the moonlit sky.

The water swished around as a ship slowly came to a stop by the shore.

A black luxury car was parked near the shore.

While boxes of goods were unloaded from the ship, the man in the car stared at the vessel emotionlessly.

While his features leaned toward the feminine side, his predatory eyes resembled that of a venomous snake,

making them uncomfortable to look at.

Just then, a tall and well-built man walked down from the ship. At the sight of the black car, he paced toward it.

The car window lowered and revealed the face of the man inside. His voice floated through the night air as he

questioned, “Has everything arrived?”

“Yes.”

“Very well.” Dixon's eyes gleamed with satisfaction. “Tell them to speed up and move everything into the container.

Then, transport them to the garage in the northern part of the city.”

“Yes, Mr. Haddock.”

Unbeknownst to them, Spencer and a few men were hiding in a corner, watching the port and the goods.
