Chapter 11 Alfred drove Alanna away from the hospital. Before buying clothes, I took Alanna to the mall and bought her a new phone. "This is my number." After a quick setup, Alfred handed the new phone to Alanna and said, "I've sent you Axel and Lilah's numbers too, so save them for future reference." Contact later? There's no need for that anymore. "Thanks." Alanna calmly took the phone and saw the only contact currently lying in the address book, a self-deprecating smile on her lips. Sometimes, having a good memory isn't necessarily a good thing. It's been so many years; she can still recite Alfred's phone number by heart. If only people's brains had a delete button. She hoped to forget all those unpleasant people and things from the past. At that moment, Alfred's phone rang, it was Karlie calling, he immediately picked up the phone and went outside, as if he was afraid Alanna might eavesdrop. Alanna didn't care, she just looked down and started messing with her phone. Suddenly remembered something, slowly reached into my pocket, and pulled out a business card. This was from Alexander to her. The black background, golden font, just like its owner, is full of introverted depth, while also showing the right amount of extravagance and luxury. As if by magic, Alanna entered the numbers from the business card into her phone. I was trying to save it, but since it's a new phone, I didn't really know how to use it. And then, accidentally, I ended up dialing it out. By the time she realized and wanted to hang up, a man's magnetic voice had already come through on the other end. "Hey." Alanna froze in place. She pretended not to hear, or wanted to hang up. "Alanna, is that you?" Alanna could only grit her teeth and put the phone to her ear, "It's me." It sounds like Alexander was in a good mood, "Have you decided what you want?". Alanna was honest and said, "Sorry, I dialed the wrong number." They paused for a few seconds over there. Through the phone screen, Alanna could clearly feel the awkwardness. Ah, she really doesn't know how to talk. "It's okay if you dialed the wrong number. I happen to have some free time now. You can chat with me. What exactly do you want as compensation?" After a pause, he added, "As long as it's something you ask for, no matter how excessive or unrealistic, it's okay, I will fulfill your request." Alanna pursed her lips, "I didn't want anything, I just wanted to cut ties with the Perry family, to break things off with Alfred." "It's easy, what else?" Alanna was really puzzled by Alexander's thoughts. (#) 10:43 Menu < Chapter 11 Rich people, especially those top billionaires, aren't they all afraid of being extorted by poor people? Why, when it came to Alexander, was she still hoping to get something good out of him? She thought of everything, but in the end, even after racking her brain, she couldn't figure it out. I could only imitate the women in TV dramas, timidly saying, "How about you give me some money?" As soon as those words came out, she felt the temperature around her drop significantly. Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she could totally imagine how "Alexander's face must have looked terrible" at that moment. Alanna suddenly felt nervous. Alexander's personality, it's really unpredictable. Wasn't it him who said it? No matter how excessive or unrealistic, it can all be fulfilled. Now she asked for money, and he was not happy again. Rich people are indeed all Ge Lantai. Are they teasing her? Just as she was considering lowering her demands, Alexander suddenly said, "…" "I was willing to give myself to you." "Cough cough cough." Alanna immediately choked on her own saliva, coughing violently for a while before finally stopping. She widened her eyes and said, "What did you say?" O "You saved my life, I'm willing to give myself to you." Worried that she might not hear clearly, this time, he deliberately slowed down his speech. Alanna was shocked. I secretly pinched my thigh, feeling a sharp pain. She didn't dream. There was only one possibility left. "Mr. Murphy, were you running a fever and got your brain all scrambled?"
