Jonathan spoke up, "It's Whitney. She's here too. She saw us when we parked earlier. Cynthia sipped her soup. "So what's she want with you!" Jonathan replied, Tim going to her room for a b. You keep
Cynthia put down her fork as well. "I'll go with you." Jonathan reassuringly patted Cynthia on the shoulder. "No need, keep eating. I'll be back soon.
"Don't worry, this is my turf; she can't do anything" Jonathan's eyes were cold and sharp. "I won't make the same mistake twice."
Cynthia trusted Jonathan. Plus, Mr. Bennett had just harshly punished Whitney yesterday. She definitely wouldn't act now. Jonathan left the room and took the elevator up to suite 8 on the next floor. Inside, there was only one person: Whitney "Whitney, do you need something from me?" Jonathan stood in the doorway, looking tall and imposing.
Whitney turned to him and said. "Jonathan, your work at Lotus Haven is really getting better. It's almost as impressive, but sadly, Luna never got to enjoy the results of her efforts. She worked so hard alongside you during the toughest times, yet she's not here to see all this splendor"
When Luna was mentioned, Jonathan's face turned cold. "Luna is watching from above, and she'll see what happens to those who caused her death."
Whimey laughed out loud. "I wasn't the one who caused Luna's death. During that big fire, I was the one who sent people in to save her first. Unfortunately, beauty is fleeting, and it was too late. You can't blame me for that."
Luna used to be the legal representative of Lotus Haven, and she helped Jonathan a lot. She created the entire intelligence network of Betrico. But in the end, she died in that mysterious explosive fire.
Everyone knew who was behind it, but in the end, there was no evidence. That's what made Whitney clever.
Over the years, she's done countless bad things, even having several lives on her conscience. Yet, no one could find evidence against her, giving no one any leverage over her. She was extremely reckless when she was being wild but very clear-headed when she was composed.
Jonathan didn't want to talk about these things and just asked, "Whitney, are you sure there's nothing else you need from me today?"
Whitney sat down and poured herself a drink. "Of course, theres. Where have you hidden Alex?"
Jonathan knew Whitney would come looking for him. At the time, she was willing to trade either Cynthia or Nina's life for Alex's. This showed that her lover held some weight in her heart Jonathan's voice was cold. "Of course it's somewhere you'll never find.
Whitney stayed calm yet commanding. "Let him go
"What's in it for me?" asked Jonathan. Both of them understood that nothing in this world came for free.
"What do you want?" asked Whitney.
"That depends on how much Alex means to you," replied Jonathan.
Whitney sneered and said, "I assume you've already looked intour relationship. He's just an actor, something to entertain me. Do you really think I'd spend a fortune on him?"
"If he's not important, then you shouldn't waste any thought or money on him. Anyway, Alex is an orphan with no social

connections. If he disappeared, no one would question it," replied Jonathan.
Whitney tightened her grip on the wine glass. "What do you plan to do with him?
Jonathan said, "Didn't you say I'm a bad seed' The way I deal with people is just what I've learned. Compared to you, I'm not as ruthless."
Whitney sneered and said, "You really are a devil at heart.
Jonathan replied, "If that's what you think, then I am. Otherwise wouldn't have met all the training and expectations you've had for me"
"What exactly do you want to do with Alex?" asked Whitney.
"Relax, I won't kill him at least. I'm a businessman, so I'll make sure to get the most out of his value," said Jonathan.
Whitney couldn't figure out what Jonathan was thinking Their eyes met, and Whitney finally gave in. "Alright, state your conditions."
Jonathan was straightforward. "I want the World of Elegance!
The World of Elegance was a luxury shopping mall owned by the Bennett Group. It brought together the finest luxury brands worldwide and was the only members-only mall in the country. It was one of the top assets Whitney had While it might not have the highest financial value, it connected to the broadest range of fields.
Whitney laughed when she heard Jonathan wanted the World of Elegance. "You're really making a big demand. Do you know that when the World of Elegance was given to me, it was a total mess? I've made it into one of the world's top malls. It's like my child "Dov
you think I'd just hand it over for an actor?"
Jonathan stayed calm. "If you can't bear to let it go, that's okay. I don't like to force anyone. Cynthia is still waiting for me, so I'll head out now."
Jonathan was about to leave, showing no willingness to negotiate. As he reached the door, Whitney finally called out. "Stop"
Jonathan paused but didn't turn around. Whitney, her voice trembling with anger, said, "Fine, have your lawyer come over tomorrow. I'll transfer World of Elegance to you. From tomorrow on, it's yours"
Jonathan's lips curled into a slight smile, but he didn't turn around. Thanks, Whitney. After we sign the transfer agreement tomorrow, I'll have someone bring Alex to the entrance of the Opulence Club. Just make sure to pick him up."
With that, Jonathan left the private room. He had only taken a few steps when he heard the sound of clinking glasses and things being knocked over inside.
Jonathan had barely walked away when Claude approached him. "Boss, the eldest son of the Xenos family is here. Do you want to go over and say hello?" Claude leaned closer to Jonathan's car. "I heard he's back for a special reason Jonathan furrowed his brows slightly. "The Bennett family and the Xenos family have always kept to
themselves.
"Besides, the Bennett elders have been living abroad for many years. I'm known to be at odds with the second Xenos son. If approach them now, it might seem like I'm trying to curry favor and that self-righteous Xenos elder won't appreciate it at all" Jonathan said casually, "Make sure he's well entertained. I won't be going" Claude nodded and left.
Jonathan was about to return to the private room when he spotted Nina at the end of the hallway. She was dressed exquisitely in a little sundress with a small bag slung over her shoulder, looking perfectly elegant.
