Chapter 0380
In a luxurious presidential suite on the top floor of the Ol‘ Mare Seaside Grand Hotel…
After a long day hanging out with Coral, Amber worked on her laptop, catching up on some work for
New Chesire Group. As soon as she entered the bathroom, the sound of running water came through.
“Wanda is so beautiful, and she sings so well too!”
Coral, in her silk pajamas, laid barefoot on the sofa in the living room, holding Wanda’s autograph
gleefully.
Alexander smiled. He was just about to speak when the doorbell rang.
The clear sound of the doorbell rang out in the distance. Coral was alerted. She quickly put down
Wanda’s signed photo and ran to get the door.
It was the head of the Saunders family, Roslyn Saunders.
“You are?” Goral eyed the beautiful woman in front of her. She was stunned for a moment, but she
quickly turned to look at Alexander suspiciously.
‘It’s so late now. Who is this woman looking for? I heard that my cousin’s husband had been to
Zabaleta before. Could it be…?”
“I am a friend of Mister Kane’s.” Roslyn introduced herself and gave a friendly nod to Alexander, who
sat on the sofa. Then, she said with a smile, “You must be Miss Braine. Am I right? Welcome
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto Zabaleta.”
As she spoke, Roslyn stepped into the living room but did not take a seat. She quietly waited for
Alexander’s reaction.
“My wife is in the shower.” Alexander stretched out his hand and pointed to the bathroom, not looking at
Roslyn. He said softly, “It doesn’t matter why you are here, but get out of here before my
wife comes out.
“Why is he so cold to me? Is it because I am not pretty enough?‘ Roslyn wondered.
Roslyn decided to make small talk to get rid of the embarrassment. She dared not step out of line in
front of the man. “Mister Kane, it is thanks to Mister Kane that the Saunders family has been
able to enjoy what we have today, so…”
She watched Alexander’s face, but he showed no change of expression, so she continued, “To express
our highest gratitude, I’ve invited some counterparts from Zabaleta to a special social
+15 BONOS
“No need for that.” Alexander did not need much consideration; he shook his head firmly. “I have no
interest in Zabaleta’s social circle.”
Roslyn had anticipated Alexander’s response, so she continued with a confident smile on her pretty
face. “Most of the friends I invited to the gathering are from the pharmaceutical industry.
“As the market leader in the pharmaceuticals industry in Ol‘ Mare, the New Chesire Group would be
able to meet a few more distributors at this gathering. I’m sure Mister Kane will find this offer very
appealing.”
Alexander’s gaze turned slightly cold. “Are you investigating the New Chesire Group?”
“Calm down Mr. Kane. I wouldn’t dare!” Roslyn’s expression changed slightly, but she quickly corrected
it. She lowered her head slightly to show her meek side. “I’ve done no such things. On the other hand,
the news spread all over Zabaleta because the New Chesire Group is such a big
and reputable name.”
Roslyn raised her hand to gather a strand of hair and tuck it behind her ear, then she continued to
speak gently, “Since your marriage into the Chesire family, the rise of the Chesire family, the
establishment of the coastal area of Ol‘ Mare, the fall of Mister Hardy, then the reshuffling of
power in Zabaleta…”
Well aware of what Alexander had done and putting it all into a timeline, Roslyn finally raised her gaze
and looked into Alexander’s eyes. “From the trajectory of Mister Kane’s actions, I assume your goal is
the north.
“Zabaleta is not only the gateway to the north but also the most important link between the north and
the central regions. It is a great springboard.

market. I was only trying to help by organizing the social gathering. I don’t mean any harm to Mister
Kane and the New Chesire Group.”
She paid attention to Alexander’s expression as she spoke. She was ready to stop talking if
Alexander frowned.
“You are very clever.” Alexander sighed and replied with a smile, “If you are the head of the Saunders
family, I am sure your family will remain the best in Zabaleta for fifty years. You’ve
earned it.
“I might go and check out the gathering tomorrow. You can go now.”
Joy flashed across Roslyn’s face. She bowed slightly to Alexander, nodded to Coral next to her,
+15 BONDS
As soon as she stepped into the corridor, a thousand pounds of weight seemed to be lifted from her
chest. She raised her hand to feel her damp back, and even her dress was soaked with sweat Her
slender, straight legs trembled. She was so intimidated.
‘Alexander…”
She recited Alexander’s name in her heart. She could still feel her heart racing as she had a flashback
of the conversation earlier. If she had said anything wrong, even just one word, she knew she would
have dragged the Saunders family down with her. That man would see to that.
