A Crazy One-night Stand

Jayden watched in dismay as Alina collapsed. He immediately picked her up and rushed Alina to her room.

On the second floor of a building, a beautiful woman was watching this scene with interest. She was standing in a corridor, which gave her an excellent angle. She focused her camera on them and took a photo. It was a good thing that Scott's house was always brightly lit, everywhere was as bright as day!

When Jayden brought Alina back to her room, she had already woken up. With a frown, she asked Jayden in confusion, "Did I faint?"

Jayden's face was as cold as ever. He was no longer his usual sarcastic and playful self. "What's going on?"

On the way back, he heard the servants discussing a stolen necklace. He also heard Alina's name mentioned vaguely.

Alina smiled and said, "Perhaps it was because I stayed up too late last night reading books, so I didn't have a good rest. Women are still very different from men. Their constitution is weaker and needs sufficient rest to recover."

"Alina!" Jayden was furious. "Tell me what happened!"

"What? Nothing happened! It's just that I've been tired recently and my energy levels are a little low!" Alina insisted.

"All right, forget it if you don't want to tell me. Have a good rest!" Jayden turned around and left.

Who was he? He was Jayden Lewis, a private investigator who became a fan of Sherlock Holmes by the age of 10! He could figure out such a trivial matter by himself.

The next day,

Alina was still suffering from diarrhoea. As she looked at the empty bottle of medicine helplessly, she murmured to herself, "The quality of medications now is deteriorating! What medicine is this? There's no effect whatsoever!"

At eight o'clock in the evening,

Jayden came for Alina's training class. Looking at Alina's pale face, he frowned and asked, "Were you reading late last night again?"

"Yes, that's right!" Alina smiled awkwardly.

"Well, let's get started!" Jayden didn't ask further. "As usual, practice your kicking and boxing 90 times each. Every movement must be fast and accurate as these are all basic skills!" "Yes, Jayden!" Alina agreed and started training.

After she finished her kicking and boxing exercises, she had to go into a horse stance again.

Alina gritted her teeth and persevered.

When it was ten o'clock, she bowed to Jayden after the training ended. "Goodbye, Jayden!"

Bowing to your instructors was basic etiquette in martial arts

Then she hurried back to her room.

Jayden looked meaningfully at Alina's silhouette in the distance. "That's interesting. Who knew that Wilson's woman would steal a necklace?"

Jayden had investigated Alina's background as she managed to pique his interest.

It turned out that the online rumours were true. She was in a relationship with Ken, the president of the Anderson Group. It caused a huge commotion at that time.

What's more, Ken's mother gave her a cheque of five million dollars when she broke up with Ken. However, Alina donated everything to an orphanage.

She donated five million dollars entirely! How would someone so generous steal a necklace?

Obviously, Alina was framed by a despicable ploy to drive her away from the Scott Family! How deplorable!

On the third day, training continued as usual.

Jayden noticed that Alina's complexion was getting worse. He raised an eyebrow and said, "If you haven't done anything wrong, why torture yourself?"

"Huh?" Alina didn't understand what Jayden was trying to say.

Jayden explained, "Since you didn't steal the necklace, why are you losing sleep over this? Look at how weak your physical and mental state are! Before our training could even start, your legs are already trembling!"

Alina couldn't help but feel surprised. Even an outsider like Jayden got to know of the stolen necklace!

However, she couldn't tell Jayden that her legs were weak because of diarrhoea.

So she replied, "It doesn't feel good to be misunderstood."

With a smile, she continued, "But I will try my best to improve my mental strength!"

Jayden couldn't help admiring Alina even more when he saw her putting on a brave front.

He raised his eyebrows. "Let's cancel practice today. Go back and rest. I have something urgent to deal with."

As Jayden said that, he walked away briskly.

He heard Alina's cheerful voice call out behind him, "Goodbye, Jayden!"

Jayden couldn't help but smile.

At Lewis's house,

Wilson received a call.

"Mr. Scott, Kason has left the villa."

Wilson tightened his grip on the phone. He clenched his teeth and squeezed out the words, "I want him dead!" Wilson had not slept for two whole days. He set up a trap to make sure Kason would die seemingly in an accident. His cold eyes shone red. "Rosalie, I can finally avenge you!"

The door creaked open and Jayden walked in. Wilson looked up and frowned. "Don't you know how to knock?"

Jayden was pissed. "D*mn it, do I have to knock in my own house? What kind of rule is this?"

Wilson generally had a good sense of time. It didn't seem like it was midnight. He looked at the time and realized it was only half-past ten. Wilson asked in a displeased tone, "Isn't Lina training today?" Jayden pouted. "Training? Her legs couldn't even keep her standing upright."

Jayden threw himself onto the couch as he spoke. He placed his legs on the coffee table and crossed his arms, looking extremely relaxed.

"What's going on?" Wilson asked hurriedly.

Jayden didn't beat around the bush.

"Your mother lost a necklace and

claimed that she stole it. Now

everyone in the Scott Family knows about it. Your family

notwithstanding, even the servants gave her a hard time. Maybe it's because her mind was too preoccupied with that, causing her to lose sleep. Anyway, I saw that she

had lost weight recently and her face looked very pale. So I cancelled training and came back. If anything happened to her during training, you might force me to pay for

compensation!"

Although Jayden replied in a casual tone, the information he disclosed was concerning.

Seeing that Wilson was so nervous, Jayden raised his eyebrows. "By the way, have you figured it out? Who's more important to you, Rosalie or Alina?"

Wilson's heart tightened. "Kason has left the villa!"

"So?" Jayden raised his eyebrows again.

"I'm busy dealing with something else!" Wilson retorted and strode out of the study.

He hurried downstairs and stepped on the grassy lawn. He remembered that he and Alina walked hand-in-hand across the lawn previously.

Lewis's house was not as luxurious as the Scott Family villa. When the night grew dark, the courtyard was dimly-lit by the faint glow of scattered garden lights.

Wilson's long shadow was cast on the ground as he stood in the middle of the lawn.

He took out his phone and read the messages.

Every night, Alina would send him a few text messages.

"Scumbag, I miss you so much! If you're busy, you don't have to reply. Take good care of yourself!"

"Scumbag, work hard. I will work hard as well!"

"Honey, I miss you so much. My weight increased by two pounds today! That's great news!"

"Scumbag, I've checked the register. Orangations hasn't been registered as a business yet. I really hope that my bonus from the third phase could be distributed as soon as possible!"

"Honey, I will try my best to adapt to life in the Scott Family."

"Wilson, I will try my best to be worthy of you and work alongside you!"

Wilson did not reply to any of Alina's messages. He read the messages with a warm feeling in his heart. However, he did not know how to respond.

Rosalie's death wasn't an accident. Kason had originally planned to kill Wilson. Rosalie lost her life because she drove his car!

Right now, Wilson was overwhelmed with blinding anger and hatred. He didn't want Alina to worry about him and he was afraid that he might accidentally hurt her. Wilson knew that Alina was still traumatised by her previous relationship. He knew how difficult it was for her to open her heart to him.

Before he finished dealing with Rosalie's matter, he did not want to have any contact with Alina. They needed some personal space and time away from each other!

As he meandered slowly on the grassy lawn, Wilson's mind was filled with Alina's smile. His foul mood was eased temporarily.

When he returned to his study, Jayden was already gone. Wilson stood by the window, lit a cigarette, and took a long drag.

A bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips.

He called a number on his phone and ordered, "I want a 24-hour surveillance team keeping track of the news online. Remove all the articles that are in favour of Alina. Don't give Lucas a chance to breathe."

At the Scott Mansion,

the building where George's family lived was brightly lit.

Lucas's face was full of distress as

he paced back and forth in the hall. "What should we do? We have put in Mother's two hundred million dollars into the market, but the share prices are not rising. Conversely, it has hit the limit down three days in a row. Each time we try to publish news about Alina receiving Grandfather's shares, the articles would be mysteriously taken down. There is no chance for the news to spread!"

Nancy's eyes lit up. "We don't have to publish the articles during the day. Let's do it in the middle of the night. I don't believe that hackers wouldn't need time to sleep!"

Caitlin's gaze was calculating as she

nodded. "Lucas, I think what Nancy

said makes sense. I have already

employed two other white hats. Our initial plan was to hold back the hackers from taking down our articles when you publish them in the morning. How about changing our schedule? We can release the news about Alina receiving Mr. Scott's shares in the middle of the night."

Lucas frowned. "Even if our articles are not taken down, all the investors and shareholders will be asleep. Who would be watching the news? By the time they wake up, our opponent's hacker team would have taken down everything."

Colton came up with a novel idea. "How about inserting the news in a drama series? There are many shareholders who watch television programmes in the middle of the night. If some of them manage to take notice, the news will spread quickly. As long as the news becomes viral, hackers can't do anything about it, regardless of their skill."

Caitlin's eyes brightened. She turned to Lucas, who nodded as well. They said in unison, "It sounds feasible!"

Therefore, the matter was settled.

Without further ado, Caitlin immediately informed of their plan to the white hats that she had hired.

Three hours later, it was four o'clock in the morning.

Caitlin was enraged and exhausted. "D*mn it, our white hats couldn't even insert the news into any drama series. Once the articles were published, they were immediately taken down. Who would go to such

extent?"

Colton frowned. "Who else could it be, other than Wilson?"

Caitlin disagreed. "It couldn't be Wilson. He loves Alina so much!"

Lucas thought for a moment, "However, this method of execution is really similar to Wilson's approach!"

"What should we do?" Rainee said anxiously. The two hundred million dollars was all she had!

Lucas and Colton were even more troubled. Since they took out their company's collateral deposits, they had to return the deposits within a week. The stockbrokers were not working on the weekend, and selling off the shares require one working day to process, which meant they only had three working days to decide what to do with the shares.

George's family didn't sleep all night and sat together to discuss countermeasures.

At this moment, Rainee's phone rang. After answering the phone, her expression changed. She collapsed to the ground as her legs gave way. In a trembling voice, she said, "Kason! Kason met with an accident!"0000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
