Chapter 77: Chapter 77

"Ah, I remember we supposed to discuss something." Ray suddenly said.

Alexa nodded against his chest. "Empty land."

Even though he didn't hear it well, he still remembered it. "You want to take the land?"

"Isn't that a scam?"

"I don't think so."

She withdrew from his arms. His attitude was calmer now. "But, that doesn't make sense. 80 percent discount? Impossible."

"Why not?"

"What if I get scammed?"

Ray thought. "Hm. Wanna check it out? My colleague is the head agent there. He must know about this matter."

Alexa became excited. "Can you help me ask?"

Seeing that her lover had returned to her usual self, Ray couldn't resist pinching her cheeks and feeling the pleasant suppleness of the flesh. He took out his phone and made a call.

Alexa waited for him obediently.

She really hoped for this empty land. With such cheap costs, she could still collect funds before the end of the year, at least in two months the money would be fully collected. She had long dreamed of having a big office with a spacious warehouse, lots of employees and lots of space. This way she could facilitate her employees well.

While she was imagining her dreams, Ray suddenly touched her, indicating that the person on the other end wanted to talk.

Alexa received the call. Talk for a long time with the person on the other side. Ray didn't lie that they were indeed work colleagues. The man, named Falco Vekoslav, was of Russian descent, he met Ray in Canada several years ago and has become close friends. They were both involved in a large stake in the large Dreamland Sanita resort project, which broke ground a few months ago.

Ray was very humble, saying this man was the Head of the Agent, he was clearly a successful businessman in Russia and had a large property company.

His wealth made her feel as small as a pebble.

After they finished talking, the smile barely left her lips. She was excited. "Hey, that fat marketing agent isn't lying!"

"Really? So it's not a scam?"

Alexa nodded enthusiastically.

"Then you will take it?" Ray asked.

"You once said your colleague offered you empty land, is that Mr. Vekoslav?" She asked another question.

"Yeah, that's him."

"As I thought. So, do you intend to take it too?"

"Hm, you're right. Let me see for a moment." Ray took the pamphlet again, looked at the mapping of empty land and the display of land that was still forest. "This place is great."

He pointed with his finger.

"You can take it over here, and I over here." He explained.

Her nose wrinkled. "We'll be next to each other?"

"Yep."

Alexa didn't know whether to laugh or cry. At this moment Sora came in with the food order, blushed seeing the two of them sitting so close, then ran out the door.

Ray laughed at Sora, and shook his head. He took out his wallet to take out a black card from it. Then handed it to her girlfriend.

"... What's this?"

"Card to pay."

Alexa didn't understand. "You paid for this cheap food with a black card? Are you mocking my poverty?"

Ray was confused too. "It's not for food. If you buy land, you can use this card."

"You're telling me to pay for your land too? You can't do the transaction yourself?"

Ray became increasingly confused so the wrinkles on his forehead deepened.

Alexa said, "No problem, since you have helped me, then I will help you pay for it. But I still have to wait for my money to be collected. At least two months."

Question marks filled Ray's head.

Then when he digested it properly, he laughed. Thinking that this woman was really so adorable and so easy made his heart fall apart. He sighed, pulling her nose until the owner was annoyed.

Ray was amused. "You didn't get it. This card is to pay for the two plots of land we are going to buy, I will buy it for you."

"Why?"

"Because I want to give you a gift."

Alexa's face was not happy at all. "No, I'll pay for it myself. No problem, I can wait for another two months. It's so cheap."

Yeah, it was so cheap that she still has to earn money by working hard!

Ray's gaze softened at her. His perspective on her had been good for a long time, he had guessed that he was really lucky to get this woman as his lover. Alexa was very independent, strong, hardworking and not arrogant.

"Okay, in two months we will pay it together." Ray laughed inwardly.

Who knows if she knew that the two marketing agents were his people. He even bribed Falco to help him convince her. He guessed that she would not just accept the money so easily, he was happy because he had made preparations.

80 percent discount?

Who would be so kind as to go bankrupt? That wouldn't have happened without his intervention, right?

Ray really couldn't help but smile. He loved the simplicity of his lover more and more. He couldn't bear to swallow her alive!

"Why do you keep smiling? Come on, eat," Alexa scolded him.

Ray cleared his throat lightly. "Can you feed me? My hands are a little crampy."

"!!!"

"Are you sure she's the one?" Samuel asked, seeing from a distance two people chatting in front of a small office.

"I remember her." Hailey looked annoyed. "It was probably around five years, that woman has changed a lot. I almost didn't even recognize her. So, she's really that cunning?"

Samuel seemed to be thinking about something complicated. "Five years ago, she came to Ray's residence when you two were going to Canada. She also said that she was pregnant and asked Ray to be responsible. Why is it so coincidental?"

"What coincidence?"

"She has a son. Ray said he's four years old."

If it was five years ago, it would really be connected. Not to mention Samuel had also seen the kid and he looked a lot like Ray. Blue eyes are a fairly rare gene. But not only was the eye color the same, the little boy was even very similar to Ray in various aspects.

How could there be people who were so similar, identical, but not related by blood? Unless they were actually related.

"Adam must have looked into it," Samuel said. "But I'm faster."

Samuel took out his phone and showed the data containing Alexa's life history. It was said that she was thrown out of her home five years ago while pregnant with no known father of her baby.

For four years, no one knew where she was, only in the past year she opened a small wedding organizer business. Then a year later Ray also completed his treatment in Canada and became engaged to Hailey.

Strangely, after Ray returned from Canada, he kept meeting this woman by chance.

Samuel also thought it was a coincidence at first, when he explored this further, with Hailey's statement too-everything started to relate. That woman must have had an ulterior motive for approaching Ray.

Was this about the little boy?

Did she want to hold Ray accountable or seek revenge?

What was unexpected was that the main perpetrator who trapped Hailet on the cruise ship was also this woman. Samuel on the other hand was amazed by her courage. Her fierce and tough attitude really hid her rottenness well. She even managed to make Ray bend his knees to her and made Samuel's plan fail.

He was so angry his stomach hurt.

He watched Ray get into the car, then said to Hailey, "I'll keep an eye on that woman in the future."

Hailey's scalp tingled. "You ... what are you going to do?"

"We can do what she did to you." Samuel said lightly.

This refered to an incident that occurred on a cruise ship where Hailey was threatened by an unknown person, who turned out to be Alexa herself. The old woman who bumped into her on the balcony of the waiting room was none other than Alexa.

Samuel smiled dryly.

This woman was really attractive.

"Ah, first I will set an appointment for you to meet Ray," said Samuel.

Hailey couldn't refuse, so she agreed.

Samuel sized her up. "Hm, appear with a pitiful face. OK?"

His hand reached out to touch Hailey's cheek, rubbing it gently so that she clung to the touch and asked for more. Samuel laughed at her reaction. Then suddenly slapped the face firmly.

Hailey gasped in pain. She was shocked. "What-"

Samuel just smiled. "I told you, you had to look pathetic, dear Hailey. And it had to be natural."

Her eyes were full of fear and she could only agree while touching her throbbing cheek.
