CHAPTER 27: CHAPTER 27: THEIR ALICE PLAN

Keegan Lindsey’s mind’s CPU started spinning rapidly again.

This lady’s words... what do they mean?

Could it be... that nothing actually happened inside just now?

But Miss Kensington’s expression...

Wait!

Keegan suddenly caught a point.

From the moment President Fordham went in to when he came out, it was exactly five minutes.

In these five minutes, there’s undressing and dressing... so the actual time left for "business"...

Keegan took a sharp breath.

Three minutes?

He instantly "understood" what Stella Grant’s "meaningful" gaze meant!

It wasn’t "nothing to see"!

Rather it was "not worth watching at all"!

Holy crap!

No wonder the lady wants a divorce!

Who can bear this!

President Fordham... he turned out to be a "three-minute man"?

No wonder the lady has been childless for three years! Damn, the problem lies here!

If this shocking secret were to leak... The Fordham Group’s stock price would collapse!

Keegan was so scared his soul flew out, his hands and feet went cold.

No way! Absolutely no way!

For President Fordham’s "sexual happiness," for the stability of the group, for his own livelihood!

He immediately took out his phone, fingers trembling, and dialed a number.

"Hello? Manager Morgan? It’s me, Keegan!"

He lowered his voice, but his tone was urgent, like a machine gun.

"Listen! This is urgent! Send me your latest and best batch of [health products]! Send as many as you can get! Immediately! Fast! Deliver to the headquarters!"

After hanging up, Keegan’s body was still shaking.

He felt his career was encountering an unprecedented severe test.

...

Stepping out of Fordham Tower, Stella Grant directly hailed a cab to the Lockwood Group.

Meritopia is just a branch of the Lockwood Group; Andy Lockwood has set the headquarters in F-Country and hasn’t set foot in Celestia for three years.

The previous global medical summit was always held in F-Country.

This time, because Stella Grant has returned, he was determined to "lead her away."

Just as she stepped into the lobby, Andy Lockwood personally came to greet her.

The employees were all shocked; the boss had been back for so long and never personally greeted any guests.

Indeed, the beautiful woman in front of them was different from everyone else!

Could it be... the future wife?

"Stella, you’re here." He said softly, as if afraid to disturb anything.

His gaze still held that gentle lake-like warmth.

"Senior brother!" Stella Grant smiled brightly.

Andy Lockwood directly escorted her to the top floor’s CEO office.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Meritopia’s skyscrapers were in full view, like a giant city jigsaw puzzle.

Andy Lockwood gestured for the secretary to pour a cup of coffee, its rich aroma wafting through the air.

"I’ve figured out what happened yesterday; it was someone hired by the Chris Family." Andy Lockwood’s tone dropped.

"Their greedy hearts never rest; they even invaded the Lockwood Group’s network simultaneously, wanting to keep us constantly occupied!"

"Just as I suspected." Stella Grant’s brows furrowed slightly, sipping her coffee, "It seems they won’t stop until they achieve their aims."

Before returning to her country, her last patient was the patriarch of the Chris Family.

They never dreamed that someone in this world could truly cure brain cancer.

An 87-year-old who had been given countless death sentences by the world’s authoritative neurosurgeons miraculously recovered in 60 days.

The Chris Family wanted to collaborate with her immediately, expressing they wished to offer hundreds of billions to buy her treatment formula.

Stella Grant, of course, refused, and then Chris tried to partner her, attempting to bind her for perpetual gains.

But she remained unmoved.

Finally, the Chris Family began using underhanded tactics, rallying various forces, plotting to snatch her formula.

Under Andy Lockwood’s protection, Stella Grant escaped one danger after another, but the Chris Family never gave up.

Later, a mysterious organization proactively stepped in to escort her back to Celestia.

It is said that organization belonged to Emperor Rothos’s faction in the West, and they were mortal enemies of Chris.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Later, Aiden Fordham had a car accident in the country; to take care of him, she married into the Fordham Family.

As God N, she vanished from F-Country!

"I’ve already sent people to secretly protect you; try not to act alone these days."

Andy Lockwood’s eyes were filled with worry.

Stella Grant put down her coffee, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling city.

"Here in Meritopia, they don’t dare do anything openly." Her tone was calm but carried a subtle confidence, "However, they might cause trouble at the global summit."

"I will take precautions; soldiers come, then defend; water comes, then cover."

Just as she finished speaking, the office door was knocked.

"Come in." Andy Lockwood’s voice was low and magnetic.

Cindy Chandler walked in holding a pile of documents; she pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose and said somewhat tiredly,

"President Lockwood, this investment conference is insanely popular! The spots have been filled for a long time, but there’s still a pile of people trying desperately to get in, the back door is almost bursting! What do we do?"

She looked up and saw Stella Grant standing by the window, her eyes instantly brightening.

"Senior sister! You finally came!"

Cindy Chandler, excited, threw down the documents and rushed over like a joyful bird, tightly hugging Stella Grant.

"I feel drained during this period; senior brother clearly said, he came back to be your deputy, now, he’s dumped all the group’s affairs on me..."

Right from the start, it was a long series of complaints.

Stella Grant smiled and patted her back, her tone carrying a hint of apology, "Thank you for your hard work, Cindy."

"I’ll take you out for dinner tonight; don’t you like hot pot? I know a place that’s really good." Stella Grant added.

"Senior sister, you’re the best."

Cindy Chandler was overjoyed, hugging her even tighter.

Andy Lockwood watched their sisterly bond, feeling an inexplicable sourness in his heart.

He coughed lightly, interrupting their reminiscing:

"Cindy, head out for now, make sure to arrange the conference matters quickly."

Cindy Chandler realized her mistake.

She stuck out her tongue, hurriedly picked up the documents from the floor, and made a playful face at Stella Grant, then ran out in a flash.

"Stella, how about moving in with me?" Andy Lockwood walked to Stella Grant’s side, said softly.

Stella Grant was stunned for a moment, looked up, and her gaze met his deep eyes.

"Having someone around, I’d be more at ease." Andy Lockwood continued, "I don’t want yesterday’s incident to repeat. If they use some dirty tricks again..."

The man was silent for a moment, took a step forward.

He reached out, his fingertips gently brushed a strand of hair on her shoulder, the movement was light, carrying a kind of irresistible tenderness.

Stella Grant’s body barely noticeably stiffened. She turned her face away, avoiding any further touch from him.

"Senior brother, don’t worry, I can handle it, [Alice Plan] is being launched,"

Her eyes showed no hesitation, only a determined, breaking-cauldrons-and-sinking-boats resolution.

"F-Country’s officials and Celestia’s officials have contacted me, we must capture Erwin!" She spoke firmly.

"Stella, there’s no turning back, being targeted by Erwin is facing nine deaths for every life. What do those officials do, relying on a little woman to maintain the world’s survival."

At this moment, Andy Lockwood wanted to oppose the plan, because he didn’t want her to once again fall into danger.

"The reagent has been successfully developed. He’ll soon receive news too. To not harm F-Country and Celestia’s people, as we planned previously, we’ll lure him to Mardale!"

Five years ago, this sealed plan signed in absolute secrecy by Bluebird and the two governments worldwide to capture Erwin, her reagent is the bait!

Now, her marriage is also over, she’s fearless!

The man unconsciously rubbed the intricate [sleeve button] on his sleeves.

"Then wait for the summit to end, we’ll immediately return to F-Country?" His voice was deep, "But the implementation of the plan must be based on your safety first."

"Okay, I’ll listen to you. Senior brother, I want to first release a set of formulas at the global summit."

She paused, took a deep breath as if she had made up her mind.

"So soon to release the formulas?" Andy Lockwood was somewhat surprised; he raised his head, his gaze on her became sharper.
