SWNOVELS Chapter 87
Chapter 87
Alexandra looked at him in shock and blinked. “I-”
“Fire away.”
Alexandra did not think it was a big deal. Anyway, Julian would not give up on investing in the Connolly family just because she did not like Martha.
He was a businessman. He would invest in the Connolly family since he had decided that the investment opportunity was profitable.
Alexandra mustered her courage and said, “I accidentally saw the financial news today. Mr. Ranford, did you invest in the Connolly Group?”
Julian was surprised that she paid attention to financial news. He probably knew what she was hesitating about.
Although he did not tell her that Martha was behind the night of the welcoming party, he knew that Alexandra did not like Martha.
Julian nodded and admitted generously, “Yes, I invested.”
“Oh.” Sure enough, he had invested.
Julian did not lie to her.
Alexandra was a little unhappy. She lowered her head, but she knew that there was no reason for her to be unhappy.
Julian’s investment was his business and had nothing to do with her personal grudges..
“Are you unhappy?” Julian keenly caught the subtle changes in her emotions..
Alexandra raised her head again and did not lie. She nodded and said, “A little. Because I don’t like Martha. But my not. liking Martha has nothing to do with your business. So… it’s nothing. Mr. Ranford, I hope you can make a lot of money.”
Julian could tell that the little girl was indeed unhappy.
She did not like Martha, yet he had invested in the Connolly family. She felt isolated by him.
Julian smiled and said to her, I’ll buy you delicious food when I do.”
Alexandra pursed her lips and lowered her head to eat without commenting.
Now, she felt that Julian was not on her side.
After dinner, Alexandra did not stay in the living room.
She could put some weight on her foot now. She slowly supported herself against the corner of the wall and the table and returned to her room.
Julian looked at Alexandra’s lonely and stubborn back and felt a little heartache.
She did not know that he had bought their stocks to mess with the Connolly family.
He did it for her.
Clearly, Alexandra was unhappy to know that he was doing business with the Connolly family. However, she did not protest because she knew that she had no right.
Julian returned to the study. He wanted to continue working, but he was in no mood to do so.
After thinking for a long time, he picked up his phone and found Carson’s contact.
After thinking about it, he asked Carson, “Carson, let me ask you a question.”
“What’s the problem?” Carson was still working overtime in the company. The new company had just been established, so he naturally took the lead to do more work.
“How do you coax your sister?”
“Depends. Are you referring to Emery or my girlfriend?”
Is there a difference?”
“Of course, there’s a difference. If it’s Emery, then I’ll satisfy all her wishes. I’ll beat up whoever provokes her! If it’s a girlfriend, then I’ll give her whatever she likes. I’ll carry her away when she’s extremely touched and turn off the lights to sleep.
Julian was speechless.
He did say anything.
Carson seemed to have detected something unusual.
He sent a message, “Boss, you didn’t cheat on your partner, did you?”
Julian replied, “Fuck off!”
Carson said, “So your wife is angry? Why? Do you still have feelings for each other?”
Julian said, “I’m not. I didn’t. It’s my cousin. I made my cousin angry.”
Carson said, “Tch, Julian, you’re starting to treat me as an outsider.”
Julian ignored him.
He put down his phone and thought about the first half of Carson’s words.
He would give her whatever she liked.
What did Alexandra like?
Money. She was very fond of money.
Should he transfer 2 million dollars to her?
Julian felt sick the moment this strange thought arose.
Alexandra was no one to him. Even if he had invested in the Connolly family to earn money, what did it have to do with her?
Besides, he had invested in the Connolly family to mess with them.
It was all because of her.
“What an ingrate!” he thought.
The next few days were peaceful.
Alexandra’s foot was getting better by the day. By Friday, she could already walk slowly.
She no longer needed to rely on a wheelchair.

Thus, she could also help Julian wash the dirty clothes he had changed out of when he was not at home.
She got along well with Julian. She did not mention the Connolly family’s investment again and tried her best to avoid meeting Julian.
She tried to get in touch with Jesper and tell him what had happened to them in Sheffield.
But Jesper did not reply.
On Friday afternoon, Alexandra was at Tropical Lagoon Residences.
The post about her had once again gone viral all over the University of Highclere’s website.
The post was titled “The University of Highclere’s beautiful is a kept woman of a certain rich man in Highclere City! She skipped class for an abortion for the rich man!”
The accompanying photo was the picture of Alexandra when she went to the hospital to change her dressing.
There was only a back view of the man. Anyone could tell that the luxury car behind him was priceless.
There was a full frontal profile of Alexandra. She was carefully looking at the road beneath her feet.
The man held her arm.
The background was Highclere City’s most luxurious hospital, Mount Victoria Hospital.
There was also a picture of the hospital’s prenatal checkup form. The name had been mosaiced, but the form showed that she was seven weeks
pregnant.
All of a sudden, the joy before the holidays and this popular post made the students go crazy.
Martha proudly scrolled through the unsightly replies under the post, thinking that Alexandra was done for this time.
She wanted to ruin her reputation.
“A country bumpkin like you dares to snatch my man?” she thought.
She wanted to see if William Jolston, the proud genius of the Department of Mathematics and Science, would like such a vain gold digger.
William appeared angrily in front of her while she was lost in thought.
His first reaction was that it was Martha’s doing when he saw the post.
Hence, he immediately went to the Piano Department to look for Martha.
When he arrived, Martha was discussing with Kelly Gilligan about going to Urdey for a holiday.
“Martha Connolly Did you do this?” William blocked Martha’s path the moment he stepped forward, not caring about the other students around her.
Martha smiled coldly and said, “What’s wrong, William? You’re shocked to see the bitch Alexandra you like become a toy for some rich businessman, right? I’m really sorry. I should have told you earlier.”
“You’re talking nonsense! Do you know that it’s illegal to spread rumors? You’re fabricating a personal attack. Just wait to be sued!” William clenched his fists so tightly that his veins bulged.
Martha looked at him, who looked like he was going to beat her up for Alexandra’s sake, and her heart was in turmoil. “William, you can ask Alexandra if I’m spouting nonsense! You can ask her what she’s been doing these past few days! Let me tell you, she just had an abortion and is recuperating in a villa!”
Chapter 87
Nonsense! Martha, how did Alexandra offend you? Why are you targeting her?”
At this moment, William had lost his rationality. On one hand, he wondered where Alexandra had been for the past few
days. On the other hand, he wanted to believe that Martha had fabricated all of this.
