Chapter 876
He sat down, took Elizabethโs utensils, and forked a piece into his mouth. โCareful, itโs hot,โ Elizabeth quickly grabbed Alexanderโs utensils. Sure enough, Alexander got burned. Elizabeth was amused by his embarrassed look.
โIs it good?โ Elizabeth asked him, her eyes filled with the hope of stirring delicious food and seeking approval. Alexander looked into her eyes, his brows slightly furrowed. The taste was average, and he didnโt like it. But seeing Elizabeth looking at him so expectantly, he didnโt want to disappoint her.
โItโs good,โ he nodded.
Elizabeth pouted, โYour expression shows you donโt like it, and youโre lying.โ She took it back to eat herself but didnโt use the utensils he had used. She knew Alexander best; when he ate something he didnโt like, he would frown. And he was very picky, not eating just anything.
โIโm not lying,โ Alexander retorted.
โI know you best,โ Elizabeth said, and Alexander fell silent. She had loved him for so many years, how could she not understand him? She noticed his every move. She didnโt even know how Elizabeth could tell he didnโt like pizza. But he knew nothing about Elizabeth.
After the divorce, he felt even more that he couldnโt figure Elizabeth out. She seemed to be shrouded in a halo, carrying secrets he couldnโt approach. Alexander poured her a glass of water. Elizabeth was eating happily, occasionally saying a word to him.
Elizabethโs phone rang; it was a message from the research institute group. Everyone was asking about yesterdayโs trip to Dream City. Elizabeth clicked in and found out. A major event had happened in Dream City. Valentin of the Getty family was dead, his body exposed, with no part of him intact, almost dismembered.
Chapter 876 (continued)
The most bizarre part was that Valentinโs legs and arms had been cut off. When Elizabeth saw the photos, she felt nauseous. She quickly threw her phone away. She couldnโt eat the pizza anymore. Alexander glanced at her, his eyes cautious, not knowing what to say. What was wrong with her now?
โValentin is dead, did you do it?โ Elizabeth looked at Alexander. Alexander shrugged, so what? He deserved to die. Elizabeth paused. โBut he is Valentin of Dreamโฆโ
โThat doesnโt matter,โ Alexander interrupted Elizabeth, his eyes cold. He knew that Valentin had to die for hurting Elizabeth. Dizabeth was silent.
โIโm not eating anymore,โ Elizabeth said lightly.
โAre you scared?โ Alexander asked her.
Elizabeth smiled, โWhat am I afraid of? He deserved to die. Itโs justโฆโ
โAlexander, Valentin was the second son of the Getty family, and the Getty family dominates Dream City. By killing Valentin, youโre going against the Getty family.โ Soon, someone from the Getty family would come looking for trouble! Alexander was asking for trouble.
โSo what?โ Alexander didnโt care at all. Elizabeth was long used to Alexanderโs arrogant and unruly demeanor. But thinking of how chaotic Dream City was, with people who didnโt value their lives, she couldnโt help but feel uneasy. If something happened to Alexander because of Valentin, she would feel guilty.
โElizabeth, I have never been afraid of trouble: You donโt need to worry.โ He downed the coffee in his cup. Elizabeth looked at him, her eyes complicated.

Alexanderโs phone rang. It was a call from the police station.
