Chapter 1540

Alex turned around and saw an old woman. The old person’s back was hunched over. She was

carrying a bag on her back and was holding a bowl with broken edges in her hand.

“Ma’am, you are...”

Alex originally thought that this old person was Noah’s mother. However, after he had taken a

closer look, this old woman was much older than Noah’s mother. Also, she was more shabbily

dressed than Noah’s mother. Therefore, who was this old woman?

The old woman raised her aged and cloudy gaze to look at Alex. “You are the big shots from

Kidon City, right?”

Alex was speechless.

“I’m an old woman who begs for food. I have also lived long enough, so I don’t fear death

anymore! I just wanted to ask you, what exactly did this family do to you? Why do you bully them

so miserably? I don’t believe such a nice family would do anything illicit! You are all just taking

advantage of your power to bully them!” muttered the old woman. Then, she left in resentment.

She was banging on the bowl in her hands while walking away. “Such a nice old woman, who

would still chat with me. Her daughter-in-law would also reheat the leftovers when she gave

them to me. I have never met such nice people. The good people just don’t live for a long life...”

In the end, the old woman was choked up as she walked further away.

Alex was speechless. Alex had brought more men that time than the previous time he came to

the northeastern region. However, he still conducted thorough investigations both in open and in

secret, and he was even more careful than the last time he was searching for Jane. He did not

wish to alarm anybody. Most importantly, he was worried if Jane was still alive, she would still be

hiding from him. Therefore, at that moment when he saw the old woman walking further away,

Alex also did not make a big fuss to chase after her. He just sat quietly in the car without saying

a word.

When the night had almost fallen and Alex was still waiting outside the restaurant, he noticed

that there were very few people on this street. It was not until night time that waves of people

came out from another restaurant, and the owner of that restaurant and his wife were warmly

greeting the customers. Garrett and Alex waited for all the customers to leave, then only they

walked forward.

The owner saw that the two of them were dressed quite well, so he asked, “what would you two

like to eat?”

“Serve us whatever you have,” Alex said.

“Welcome, welcome, come on in.” The street was rather empty, but there were still customers at

this late hour, so it was only natural for the owner to greet the customers with enthusiasm. Alex

and Garrett started to order. They ordered all the expensive food on the menu and were very

generous. After the dishes were served, they also ordered some fine alcohol. This way, the

owner was even happier.

Seeing the two customers this generous, the owner also became chattier. “From the way the two

of you speak, it seems like you’re not from around here, right?”

“No,” Alex said truthfully.

Garrett complimented the owner. “Your dishes here are not bad.”

“Really? Then you two gentlemen should come more often,” said the owner joyfully.

Garrett said again, “Perhaps we may truly come here often in the future. We are from Haf City

Real Estate Company, and we’re going to be developing this county shortly. We’ll frequent your

restaurant in the future. May I have your business card?”

“Sure! ” The restaurant owner immediately went to take his business card happily.

Within a minute, the business card was already placed in Garrett’s hand. The owner also took

the advantage to get to know them. “May I also have your business cards too?”

Garrett then immediately handed his business card to the owner of the restaurant.

“Jason Zandra. Regional Manager of Haf City Real Estate Company.” The restaurant owner read

the business card with unconcealable excitement. He looked at Alex again. “This is...” “Our

boss.”
