The next morning, Fraser appears outside the door on time, he knocks the door and soon the door is
opened from inside by a man wearing a white bathrobe.
Fraser hands him the personal information about Ryan that he has just received, “Mr. Rex, here is the
information about Ryan you have asked for.”
Rex receives it, the information is less than his expectation, with only two pieces of papers. His
eyebrows knit slightly as he browses over it.
“We found out that Ryan seems to have erased the traces of his past history, there was no record from
the time before he was 8 years old, his parents divorced, and his mother won Ryan’s custody. His
mother passed away when he was eight years old, and he went to United States and worked in the
black market over there. There is no way to find out what he had been working for in details, but from
the few medical records of him, we found out that he didn’t live well, and he was almost dead every
time he was sent to the hospital.”
Rex looks at the medical records on it, it is indeed as he said, although the frequency is not high, his
injuries were fatal every time, and were mostly blunt force injuries, it was obviously not a mere
coincidence.
“Ryan probably was doing some illegal business in the black market during that time, but he was not
famous, just a nobody. The real change happened in the year when he was twenty years old. During
that year the black market had gone through a big reshuffle, he came over here with a well-known
Mafia boss from United Kingdom. Since then he started to take over this man’s business one after
another, most of them were illegal. Until that boss passed away, a huge amount of assets was
transferred to Ryan. He then washed his hands of the illegal business. He is now considered as a
successful young entrepreneur, and has whitewashed his past a lot these years, but his background
was still unclean, it could be easily investigated when someone looked into it.” Fraser is reporting to
Rex beside him, in fact, Rex is a bit surprised when he receives the information, but it isn’t because of
Ryan’s identity, but how someone who is gentle and serene like Lily can befriend this kind of person
like Ryan, and they have been in peace with each other for so many years.
Rex’s expression is unpleasant, “Is he staying with Lily?”
When he mentions about this…
Fraser replies awkwardly, “Yes.”
There is no way to verify the frequency they meet, and they only know that at this stage, they are
indeed living together.
Living together? What does this mean? The world of adults is always complicated, and this time no
matter how much Rex trusts Lily, he can’t help but overthinking.
They have separated for five years, and these five years can change a lot of things.
“Also, Miss Lily’s identity in UK was Lydia, and it was Ryan who got it for her.”
Upon hearing this, Rex’s eyebrows knit tightly, if that is the case, then it can only prove that they have
known each other since before they came to UK, which also means that, they have known each other
when they were at City J, and even had some contact.
Rex’s heart seems to be torn up and he suddenly realizes that perhaps Lily’s accident and leaving five
years ago were not coincidences, but was set up by someone.
He is shocked by his own thoughts, and then subconsciously dispels his thoughts.
How can it be, how can she purposely use such cruel means to leave him, how can she leave for five
years leaving everything behind. To him, Lily is so kind and understanding, how can she…
The more Rex thinks about it the colder his body becomes, his expression becomes even more
unpleasant, his entire body is emitting cold aura.
Fraser calls him out tentatively, “Mr. Rex?”
He comes back to his sense and slightly suppresses his intimidating aura, but the dark mist in his eyes
doesn’t fade. There are some things that he didn’t think about it seriously before, but now it is time to fix
it.
Fraser immediately hands him the brand new custom-made suit in his hands, “Mr. Rex, you can
change into it.”
Rex’s voice is a little hoarse when he replies, “Mm.”
Ten minutes later, he comes out from the dressing room, with a white shirt, black tie, dark blue
checkered suit pants, and a pair of square-toe British style leather shoes. He walks while buttoning his
sleeves. His demeanour is emitting an intense aura, which makes people can’t take their eyes from
him.
He is so strong that he seems to have no weakness. But if he hasn’t met Lily before, Fraser will believe
that, but he has seen on his own and he realizes that this man has such soft side.
Fraser places the breakfast in his hand on the table, “Mr. Rex, you should eat something.”
This place is not a hotel, and there is no breakfast served. He has purposely bought a brunch from the
restaurant Rex often goes before coming over today.
Rex glances at the cleanly packaged meal, although he really doesn’t have much appetite, he still goes
over to pull out the chair and sits down. He opens the package and eats the food.
The salad is refreshing; when he takes a bite, his mood finally gets better.
He eats quickly, but his movements are elegant, with each movement seeming like it is designed to be
just right and charming.
After finishing his meal, Rex wipes the corners of his mouth with a napkin, while getting up and looking
at Fraser who is standing at the side, “You don’t have to take care of my appetite purposely, I’m not
going to fall down yet.”
He knows well about his assistant’s personality. He rarely takes initiative to buy him a breakfast in
these three years; probably it is because of what happened last night that Fraser pays so much
attention to him today.
It may sound cold to an outsider, but Fraser understands that he just doesn’t want him to worry too
much and that it is for his own good.
The bond of understanding and trust between them are strong due to the results of working together for
three years.
Fraser drives all the way to the headquarters of Bit Inc. Since Rex has invested, the company is
successfully listed and gained a lot of business opportunities. The building is now brand ne now and is
no longer small and messy.
All the employees of Bit Inc. are informed of Rex’s arrival. From the entrance building to the president’s
office, there are receptionists following him, and behind him are several senior executives who are
seldom seen.
Perhaps the junior staffs may not be aware of Rex’s importance, but to the management level, he is
their real source of finance.
Bit Inc.’s president is a foreigner, whom Rex addresses him as Kevin, “Long time no see, Kevin.”
“Yea, old buddy.” Kevin has learnt about the situation from Freddie and knows that this time Rex is here
to make a punitive expedition against him, but he is after all a businessman, he can still handle this
calmly.
He acts like nothing has happened and welcomes Rex and Fraser warmly and generously into the
office.
The secretary brings over the tea she has specially prepared, obviously to cater Rex’s taste, “Mr. Rex,
enjoy.”
“Mr. Rex, I know the purpose of your visit, I will get to the point straight. That matter is not a big deal.
The key is that it happened at the wrong timing. That time Bit Inc. was preparing to be listed, after the
incident they had also given compensation, but the other party requested for a written apology, this is
really embarrassing. I hope you can understand, in terms of material, we didn’t owe that employee.”
Kevin’s words seem to be straight forward but with a lot of tricks hidden in it.
