NovelEnglishChapter 0293 Ella POV Alexander and I entered the room slowly. It was a small room witha single table and several chairs around it. It looked like it was probably a break room for the employees of the warehouse at spoint.
I could see the discoloration on the wall where a refrigerator had once been and there was a long, grimy counter that probably held a microwave at one point. But now the room was inhabited by Dr. McIntyre and several men in dark suits, nothing else.
"Leave," Alexander ordered as we walked the short distance to the table. The men didn't hesitate to obey his order.

The expression madeuncomfortable and I glared at her. Alexander sat in the chair across from her and I sat beside him.
"I'm glad to see you're uninjured," Alexander said in a friendly tone.
"Thanks to you," Dr. McIntyre said with a smile. "Don't getwrong, I'm not thrilled about being held o here, but it is better than being dead." captive "Glad to see you realize the gravity of the situation you find yourself in," Alexander replied. "It'll make this all much easier." "I asked for a meeting, remember?" Dr. McIntrye said. "You don't have to convinceto talk." "And what is it you wanted to say to me?" I demanded.
Their casual conversation was pissingoff. There was no reason for them to act so friendly given the situation. This was the woman that had slowly poisonedfor years, after all. She wasn't our friend.
The smile fell away from her face as she looked atand Dr. McIntyre sighed. "I'm not sorry for what I did to you," she said. "For the record, I think you should know that. The only reason that I reached out to you is because things have gotten far out of hand." "In what way?" Alexander asked.
My blood was boiling with anger, but he was so calm. It annoyed me, but I did my best to keep my emotions in check. Alexander was best suited to handle this, I needed to follow his lead.
"I'm sure that you've already dug up all of the dirt on my family," she said, looking at Alexander. "So I don't have to explain to you why I hate you royal brats and your wealthy, stuck-up parents." I bit my tongue to keep myself from responding. Alexander didn't look phased at all.

"Because I didn't realize what that fool David Lake was planning," she said angrily. "When I found out the truth, there was no way I could stand by silently." "What is the truth?" Alexander asked. "If you're going to speak in circles then there's no point in having this conversation. Just spit it out." "Fine," she said tensely. "Just, understand that I'm completely serious about this, I know it's going to so crazy, but I'm not making it up." Chapter 0203 "Go on."
"David isn't the one calling the shots," she began. "He's just another cogin a much bigger machine. He allied himself with a rogue group that has ties to the Northern king; "
Alexander went stiff besideand his breath paused. I looked at him with concern. The mention of the oncerni Northern king had clearly shocked him, but why? Dr. McIntyre didn't seem to notice, she continued talking
"Their ultimate goal is to take over the South. When I first heard about it, I thought it was ridiculous, you know? I mean, there would be a full out war. It would never work! flot, then I found out what their plan was..." she trailed off, averting her eyes. "What's the plan?" Alexander asked. There was a hard edge to his voice that made it clear he was taking this very seriously.
