After having dinner, Luna then replayed the recording in her phone to Alexander. “Is Monkey influential? Can you help me investigate him?”
Alexander nodded and said, “What do you want to do? Making them turn on each other is not a good method.”
Since no matter how the fight went between Dyson and Monkey, nothing would happen to the Springfield siblings.
Luna then said with a smile, “I’m not going to stoop so low. Go for the head, right? I know at least that much.”
Not to mention that those people were the types that one could take control by spending some money. There was no need for her to deal with them.
“Put this aside for now!” Alexander said as he looked at Luna. “They must have received news about it by now. They wouldn’t make any more for the time being. When they do it next time, it would be better if we can catch all of them.”
Luna looked at Alexander speechlessly. “Seems like you already have a plan.”
Alexander smiled without saying anything.
It was obvious that he did have a plan.
“Fine. I’ll go and have some rest first,” Luna stood up and made a heart with her hands and said, “Good night.”
Alexander merely gave her a glance with a calm face and said, “Good night.”
The night was calm.
Luna’s alarm went off in the morning. Originally, she wanted to train in the morning but suddenly remembered that she had to participate in Eve’s art exhibition today.
After washing up, she then chose the most appropriate formal wear for the day. She then put on some makeup and walked down.
When Alexander saw how she was dressed up, there were flames in his eyes. “You’re going to wear this tonight?”
“It doesn’t look good?” Luna spun gracefully in front of him.
“It looks good,” Alexander said as he pursed his lips.
When Mrs. Niles walked past them, she even commented, “The madam’s figure is even better than the models on the television! You really are quite lucky, Mr. White.”
Luna then walked closely to Alexander’s chest and asked, “Really? You think so too?”
Alexander stared at her with his dark eyes. He liked the fragrance she was using, and felt like consuming her.
Seeing that he didn’t reply, Luna then used her finger to poke his chest and asked, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Is it because my body is not curvy enough?”
The moment she said that, Alexander had already grabbed her finger. “Stop playing with fire. We should go!”
Luna smiled and said, “Fine, I won’t joke around like that again, uncle~!”
Alexander pulled her in and gave her a threatening glare. “Do I look that old?”
Luna shook her head and said, “I was just joking. You look very young. Twenty plus at most.”
Although Alexander was around eight years older than her, he looked quite boyish. That’s probably because he knew how to take care of himself well.
Of course, his boyishness had the kind of sharpness that real boys wouldn’t have.
Only then did Alexander let her hand go. “Come on! I’ll drive my car.”
Luna was slightly stunned and asked, “Are we not going to have breakfast?”
Alexander didn’t even turn around when he said, “The Brooke family has arranged for a Michelin star chef to prepare breakfast. Are you sure you want to eat at home?”
Luna licked her lips and answered without hesitation, “Let’s eat over there!”
As she had spent most of her time working on missions, she had spent most of her time camping outside.
All she had eaten were rations. Even when she had the chance to enter high-class locations, she would put most of her attention on executing her mission. Thus, it was difficult for her to enjoy the food.
Now that she had the chance to, she would naturally put more emphasis on food.
While she hadn’t been showing it, she didn’t realize that Alexander knew about it already.
She had to affirm that it really helped with building up their relationship.
When they reached the art exhibition, the clock had just reached eight.
There were already luxury cars stopping at the main door, and people had been slowly heading in.
When Alexander and Luna stepped down from their car, they immediately attracted attention and comments from others.
“Alexander White really got together with that crazy woman from the Brookes?”
“This is the first time that Alexander White brought a woman along, right?! What kind of spell did Luna Brooke cast on him?”
“Stop the gossiping. Let’s go, let’s go. They’re coming this way. You’ll be a goner if he hears you!”
“…”
They followed behind the group of people as they entered the exhibition hall. They gave everyone a sign. Luna looked at it front and back before asking, “This is for the auction? What’s the number 50 for?”
Alexander then explained to her, “That means the bid increment is 500,000.”
Luna was surprised. “All the paintings that Eve drew are worth that much?”
She would give it at most 50,000, and that was only because they were from the same family.
“It’s not for Eve’s paintings. Most of them are here for the three other famous paintings!” Alexander walked around as his eyes glanced at the paintings. He didn’t say if they were good or bad.
Many people came over and greeted him, and Alexander would only respond coldly. He had once again returned to that cold and aloof president image.
Luna had been by his side most of the time, and quietly became his foil.
After a short while, Eve appeared in the exhibition hall.
When enemies met, naturally they would show their hatred against each other.
“Sister, Brother-in-law, you’re here,” Eve approached them shamelessly as if the person that had cheated with Clarence wasn’t her. “We have prepared fresh cakes and high-quality wine inside. Please, make yourself at home.”
Luna rolled her eyes, but the smile on her face was quite confident. “It doesn’t matter if it’s low or high quality, as long as it’s safe to drink, isn’t that right?”
Last time, it was a glass of poisoned wine that had sent the original to her death. When she said that, Eve’s face turned extremely pale. “You really like to joke around, Sister? With my brother-in-law here, who would dare to bully you?”
“I hope so,” Luna held Alexander’s hand and walked past Eve. It was clear that she didn’t want to spend any more time with her.
“Your sister from another mother is really quite adaptable,” Alexander said. “She can still call you sister me brother-in-law despite doing so many unspeakable things. That heart of hers is really, tsk…”
Luna spat and said, “Pfft it’s clearly because she doesn’t care about her reputation.”
In order to make sure that the art exhibition is a success, Eve wouldn’t let any chances pass her by.
Think about it. The famous Alexander White was her brother-in-law and even visited the art exhibition with her betrayed sister.
No matter how bad they talked about her, if they saw what had happened, a part of them would stop, right?
A schemer was a schemer in the end.
“This is quite nice, do you want one?” Luna took a plate of small ice-cream cake and munched a small piece of cake using a fork. “It tastes like roses!”
Alexander raised an eyebrow. “What, aren’t you afraid that she would add poison to it?”
“With you and so many people here, does she have a death wish?” Luna took another bite and said, “We’re in a society governed by law.”
Alexander then raised a glass of red wine and suddenly said with a deep voice, “Unfortunately, someone keeps trying to become someone unbound by law..”
