Chapter 20
20. Like Mommy
Rick could sense the cold tone in Alex’s voice. He felt a chill running down his spine. He immediately stood at attention. “No, no,
I was wrong. Good night, Boss!”
Alex furrowed his brows, hung up the phone, and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.
However, Alex’s mind could no longer calm down.
He took the phone again and opened the new email.
The information showed that Jessie had married Mike before graduating from university. After marriage, Mike entered the
entertainment industry and developed. Jessie also did a few jobs at the same time. She also had to take care of Mike’s half-
paralyzed mother, Linda. Jessie used the money she eamed from her work to buy a cheap house in the suburbs, and only paid
off the loan the year before.
After Jessie and Mike divorced, the house was transferred to Linda’s name by Mike. Furthermore, according to Rick’s
information. Now, the government wanted to develop the area where the house was located. The whole area would be bought by
the government.
From this information, Jessie did not take a single cent of Mike’s property after she and Mike divorced. She did not take a single
cent from Mike and divorced him. However, Linda, Mike’s mother even took away the house that Jessie eamed, which was
almost bought by the govemment.
In that case, Jessie was the final victim of Jessie and Mike’s marriage....
That was why Jessie kept disturbing Mike. She wanted to ask Mike to retum her property.
Mike knew that the value of the house would be unimaginably high soon, so he deliberately used a small house to fool Jessie.
And Jessie actually agreed just like that.
Did she not know that her house was going to be bought by the government? Or did she know, but would rather be cheated by
Mike?
No matter what, she was completely stupid!
He remembered that he had read in some books that some women were born with special feelings and treated love with great
importance. If a man had been rooted in her heart before, no matter how bad this man had become, he would still fail. It would
be difficult to pull this man out of this woman’s heart even
after exhausting his entire life.
Could it be that Mike was such a person to Jessie?
Alex’s expression instantly became very deep.
Alex pressed the phone screen. He put his arm behind his head and looked at the ceiling with a frown. He was not tired at all.
At two o‘clock in the morning, Rick was woken up by the phone call.
“Send me a call from an IT department technician!” Alex’s tone was calm.
Rick rubbed his eyes and looked at the time. He was surprised. “You haven’t slept yet?”
“Send me the number, now!” Alex said.
Rick had the most complete information about all the departments in the group.
A few minutes later, Alex received the number.
He sent a deleted computer hard drive to the company and asked the technician to help restore the data overight.
That day, he had the hotel monitoring room’s on-call staff delete the hotel surveillance records from the night they were drugged
and bring the surveillance hard drive back. He did it to prevent anyone from finding out that he had found another woman.
At this moment, he urgently wanted to know how reliable Jessie was when she said that she did not deliberately get close to him.
He wanted to see why she appeared at the door of his room that night and even knocked on his door, making him mistakenly
think that she was the woman that old master arranged!
It was past three o’clock in the morning, and the data had been restored. Alex had the technician return and gave him an
additional three days of paid leave.
When he retumed to the silent president’s office, Alex turned on the computer and pulled out the surveillance video from that
night. He focused on the video.
Very quickly, the scene in corridor 1807 and 1808 appeared on the screen.
Alex watched the video from beginning to end. For some reason, he felt a little relieved.
He felt relieved when he saw that she really accidentally knocked into his room. He couldn’t answer this question either.
This kind of unknown feeling annoyed him the most.
He had clearly strictly ordered the children not to look for that woman again. However, he actually made Rick, who had a heavy
workload, specially investigate her information. He had worked through the night because of an email about her until now.
The next moming.
The nanny, Nanny Lisa, helped Fia put on her school uniform and combed her hair.
“Nanny Lisa, I’m not eating breakfast at home today.” When the nanny tidied her up, Fia said straightforwardly.
“Not eating at home? Then what do you want to eat? I’ll ask Driver Bart to buy it for you.” Nanny Lisa asked her gently.
Fia carried her schoolbag on her back. “No! I want to eat it myself!”
“Where do you want to eat it?”
“Louisdin coffee shop.”
“Do you want to go to the cafe you went to yesterday?” Bartasked.
Everyone in Mountain and River Residence knew that the siblings had eaten breakfast and dinner at the Louisdin coffee shop
yesterday.
Fia thought of Jessie and revealed a sweet smile, “Yes, Aunt Jeje is there.”
“Aunt Jeje? What kind of Aunt?” Nanny Lisa was very surprised. When this little kid grew up in old residence and was brought
back to Mountain and River Residence by her father, Alex. He had changed her into many housekeepers and aunties, but Fia did
not want any of them. In the end, Old Madam had no choice but to let Nanny Lisa, who had accompanied her for decades, take
care of Fia. Nanny Lisa was the one who helped to bring Fia up. Seeing Nanny Lisa come over, she agreed.
Nanny Lisa had been here for more than three years and this was the first time she heard that Fia was familiar with an unfamiliar
auntie. When Fia talked about it, she actually said, ‘My Aunt Jeje’.
Fia’s tone when mentioning Aunt Jeje was even more intimate than when she mentioned Nanny Lisa who had brought Fia along
for five years.
“It’s Aunt Jeje.” Fia smiled happily and was a little shy. “Aunt Jeje is a little like my mommy. She likes me very much.”
