Chapter 132 The riddle of car keys

"If I drink with you and I'm not clear-headed, how can I give a blueprint? I don't like being procrastinated at work."

After he listened to Elly's argument, Alex felt so sick that he had no place to vent and drowned the fire inside him with a wine glass.

The indifference on her face made him realize that he still had a long way to go. He sighed and asked calmly.

"What is your relationship with Aron? Why do I see you get out of his car every time?"

According to subordinates' reports about her apartment, they saw Aron had pick up Elly twice and they had speculations about their current relationship, Alex still had a little hope in his heart.

Elly did not answer and a polite smile remained on her lips. "That is my private business. I'm here to talk about work. We should only talk about advertising blueprints."

"I will give the advertising blueprints to you, Boss Alex. I will let you study it. If you have any questions or comments, I will answer and correct them." Elly said

Alex turned the first page but he payed no attention to the drawings or words.

Instead of focusing in the advertising blueprints, he was patiently looking for answers from her. He still clung to the topic when he returned the material to her. "It's a little late to finish the work now. We should meet again next time to discuss it. As an old friend, I want to care about your current life. What is your relationship with Aron?"

Elly took the document and smiled stiffly. "Even if you are an old friend, I am under no obligation to report my private life to you. My relationship with him is none of your business. President Hagreaves' unethical attitude is impolite."

"That man is ten years older than you, you should take a closer look. The old man may have an inappropriate plan."

"I know that because he is ten years older than me that he is a mature person and has the taste of a mature man. Moreover, he knows how to take care of his health and take good care of his health. Also, he doesn't look much older than me." Elly retorted calmly and Aron's mysterious face appeared in her mind. She was thinking how happy he will be if he heard her compliment.

Hearing her say this, Alex frowned and his voice trembled slightly. "So you're dating him?" His face was calm but only he knew how painful it was to ask this question.

Elly did not answer. She got up and put the handbag on her shoulder and said involuntarily, "Thank you for the coffee Mr. Hagreaves. I need to go back to my company because still need to work in the afternoon. I won't interrupt your dinner again. I hope we have a pleasant conversation."

Alex watched Elly leave without showing mercy. Alex clenched his fist.

Elly stood and did not turn around.

He gazed at her upright figure and slowly uttered a word. "I know you've been looking for information about Emily. I know where she is."

When Elly heard the name 'Emily', she became very distressed. Her thoughts returned to the day of the bloody accident and her shortness of breath accelerated her heart rate.

Elly turned around and walked up to Alex.

"It's no use finding her now. After John's accident, she was not clear-headed and the doctor found her suffering from depression. She now has a babysitter watching her every day. She was punished greatly because of what she did.

"Really?" Elly smiled and her tone was full of sarcasm. "I think God was so unfair according to your report. Look at you, you've killed someone and frantically denied all the crimes?"

Alex has not answered her question. He knows how Elly suffered emotional after John's death. A year has passed but she still feel distressed about what happened.

Alex sat on his chair, he looked up into her eyes and tried to persuade her. "Things have passed. Emily is not living a good life like ordinary people. She has been punished by heaven. Why do you still hold a grudge, Elly?"

"Don't call me Elly! you are not qualified to mention my name." Elly's ruthless eyes made his heart tremble. Even though she used to be indifferent, she never looked at him with like this.

Alex felt cold.

"Why is there so much hatred in your eyes? Obviously, you are the one who left the hospital without talking to me. You are the one who abandoned me and did not care about the harm we encountered.

"Oh, no!" Elly interrupted and grinned. She bent down and moved her face close to his, her eyes burning with anger. "Don't act in front of me. Are you still putting on a performance? You make me sick!"

Alex was badly scolded. "What are you talking about? What performance am I doing in front of you?" He reached out to grab her shoulder, but was avoided.

Elly stood up and held her head high. "Five years ago, I was in a traffic accident and it was a gift for me when you ran away. Due to this traffic accident, Kitten was born prematurely and I almost died on the operating table. Fortunately, John saved me from death and gave me a new life. Even though I lost all my memories. You are a hypocrite. You let me love you again, even if I lost my memory. Your ultimate goal was to kill John, right?"

Alex didn't understand what she said. He didn't understand what she was talking about. What did he had to do with John's death? Apart from Emily's madness, did Elly also suffered from a depression?'

Alex' momentary surprise made her misunderstood his audacity of being afraid to speak. She said brutally, "Mr. Hagreave', stop lying. I won't be fooled twice."

She turned to walk away, but before that, bent down, grabbed his collar, placed her face close to him and said. "If you dare to hurt Aron like what you did to John, I promise that you will pay with your life."

Munich sat in his chair and looked in amazement at the way she hated him. He never thought he would be threatened by you because of a man.

Elly would not do this without a reason. He knew that there was a misunderstanding behind it and it had something to do with her leaving without saying goodbye.

Elly left the restaurant. A lot of persons in the restaurant looked at Alexcuriously.

Her words made him suspicious. He didn't care that he hadn't had lunch, so he called Mr. Geno, "is it true that Ms. Russell left nothing before he left the hospital? Didn't you find anything suspicious?"

Houekeeper Geno was very surprised. He wondered why he had to ask a question from a year ago? They also spoke of Elly about what happened during that period?

"Elly came back. I met her"

Geno on the other side of the phone opened his eyes wide as soon as he heard the news. These days, he reason why Alex was very sad was becuse of Elly. He didn't expect that she would return but she did. 'Did Elly want to go back to Alex and restore their old relationship?' he thought.

Housekeeper Geno was suspicious. 'Alex, what were you hiding from me? What was the secret of Elly's departure?'

"What do you mean? What can I hide from you?" Geno immediately denied but he sounded guilty. A slight cough masked the panic in his voice and adjusted his mood. "She didn't sneak out of the hospital without a clue. Weren't you the first to find her missing?"

"What about the car?" When Alex mentioned the car, Geno's eyes twinkled, but he looked dissatisfied. "Alex, do you doubt your best friend's loyalty now?"

"You know I didn't mean that. Alex never doubted Geno.

He knew that Geno worked a little rough and spoke cruelly but he was not a ruthless person and will not hurt people, not to mention that John had nothing to do with him.

"Elly was an old problem. I gave the car keys. Why did it fall into the hands of Emily?"

"I want to remind you of that, too. The camera accidentally put me on the table in the hall."

This matter was checked by Alex. Later, because of the large number of people and also the location of the camera, it was impossible to record who took the keys. So there was no record of who took the key. Also, because there were so many people walking around and because of the position of the camera, it was impossible to record who took the key that day.

Why did the car keys happen to be picked up by Emily? How did she know it was Alex' car keys?

Alex, why did you suspect me?

He had a lot of questions in his mind, but Alex did not want to doubt Geno. He believed in their friendship and his personality. Faced with Geno's problem, the first thing he thought of was an explanation. "I don't doubt that. Today, Elly's attitude towards me was very abnormal, the words were stinging and her eyes of hatred are inexplicable. There must be some misunderstanding. I'm not relieved, so I want to redefine it. "

"Maybe John's death made Elly's mind hostile to everything around her." Geno comforted him.

Alex disagreed. "There must be something you haven't found yet."

After a moment of hesitation, Alex decided to come to the villa where Emily was located.

Some things can only be asked to the person concerned, even if the other party did not have the ability to think properly, it was the only way.
