Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 2136

......

"I see what you mean now! These people are playing dirty and because of these bad apples, everything is ruined. Something that should have benefitted everyone became like this now..."

Her state of mind changed. Carolien looked at Elijah with a little more admiration.

She knew that companies donated tens of millions to charity every year. It would be the same for his company! But no matter what the reason was, they would always give back to society!

Indeed, it was better to take the money to save those who really needed it than to compromise with such a charity!

"It's all for money in the end?"

After listening to her words, Elijah smiled faintly: "Everyone is the same! We can't be free from the secular world! However, there are some bottom lines that still have to be set when it comes to earning money!"

"Yes!"

She nodded in agreement, and her mind became clear. At this moment, Carolien was thinking beyond just helping him by giving him money. She said,

"It seems that I've worried too much. You scared me so much that I came back early to think about how to get money for you! Won't it be better to make a public statement before things get blown out of proportion?"

"This isn't as simple as you think — "

It wasn't that he didn't want to make a public statement, it was that he needed the truth to be revealed first!

His intuition told him that she would worry herself to death. While Elijah was sorting out his thoughts, Carolien, who was still muttering to herself, seemed to have come to a sudden realization. She said,

"Then again, how many people would take the time to look into this matter carefully? Not to mention that many people may not know enough to even understand! No, no, it's useless to explain!"

If words worked, things wouldn't end up like this!

Elijah didn't expect that she would have her own opinion. Indeed, they hadn't considered this point! In that case, their discussion tonight was not comprehensive enough. Even if there was evidence that could turn the tables in the end, the impact from this could not be erased. It would be hard to change public opinion!

It seemed that they had to discuss this matter again tomorrow!

At this moment, she spoke, "Right! Since they speak with the truth, let's counter with the truth too! It's better to take actions instead of explaining, right?"

A thought flashed through Elijah's mind and he instantly understood what was going on. He touched her jaw and pecked her twice. "You're a smart cookie!"

Why didn't he think of it?

"Hee hee."

With a smile, Carolien was also in a good mood. She said, "It's good that you're fine! I am relieved now so I can finally sleep!"

She stretched and yawned lazily. She had to get up early tomorrow!

As soon as she moved, she was pushed back by Elijah. His eyes burned bright as he closed in on her. "You're already here, yet you're leaving just like that?"

Shouldn't they exercise? It was rare for Tyrell to be asleep. They could do things now!

"If you want to see Alistair, just do as I say. Don't make a sound, don't move, don't hang up the phone, and don't ask too much. If anyone around you finds out, you can collect your baby brother or son's corpse."

With her heart thumping wildly, Carolien turned around and looked around. At this time, the voice on the phone came again.

"Don't try to look for me. I can see you, but you can't see me! Do as I say. Don't hang up the phone. Find a reason to leave. Get in the car alone! Don't hang up the phone, otherwise—

A layer of cold sweat appeared on Carolien's back.

Sure enough, he was by her side! He was an acquaintance!

...

She followed his words like a puppet and quickly got into the car. In the end, she reached an abandoned factory near a construction site. Her heart trembled. She checked that her phone had location service turned on and got out of the car.

"I'm here. Who are you? Come out!"

After shouting a few times, no one answered. She turned on the flashlight and took a few steps forward. As soon as she stretched out her head, she saw a familiar figure lying on the cotton-padded jacket. "Alistair!"

Stepping forward, she picked up the child and checked if he was breathing. Suddenly, she smelled something. The next second, her vision became blurred and she felt dizzy.

Oh no!

D*mn it!
