《The Wrong Night with Mr. Right》全部章節：第 271 章 - 第 280 章

‘Because my boss would dock my pay, and I don’t see the need for it.’ Alessia glanced around. ‘If you’d like to talk, we can do it right here. There’s a diner on the adjacent street, Uncle Erasmo’s. He doesn’t serve lobster, but makes some pretty decent grilled fish.’‘A diner?’ Albert scrunched up his nose. ‘Too crowded. Too noisy. I bet they serve food on disposable plates.’Alessia shrugged, her attitude clear: take it or leave it.‘Fine.’ Albert yielded.Alessia led the way.Uncle Erasmo greeted her with his usual enthusiasm and showed them to the private booth.Alessia ordered for the two of them. ‘Isn’t your assistant joining us?’‘He’s on duty.’ Albert gestured for his assistant to leave.Alessia got straight to the point. ‘Mr Wilde, what brings you here?’‘You’re a straightforward person,’ Albert commented approvingly. ‘So I’ll be frank as well. It’s about Logan. You should know that he’s my only grandchild, and I have high hopes for him. In fact, I’ve spent the past year sear

Alessia shuddered at the sight of Connie’s sinister smile.An impossible thought suddenly occurred to her.She grasped Connie’s wrist. ‘D-did you hurt him?’Connie just kept smiling.Alessia grabbed her shoulders and shook them hard. ‘Tell me, did you have something to do with my baby’s death?’‘You’ll never know,’ Connie said.Then she threw her head back and laughed.The maniacal laughter made Alessia shiver.That was when she confirmed Connie had really gone insane.The next instant, Connie lunged forward, going for Alessia’s throat. ‘I’m going to kill you!’‘Connie!’ Brayden threw himself in front of Alessia and grunted in pain as Connie elbowed him in the stomach.Veronica yanked Alessia back, out of harm’s range. ‘Brayden, she belongs to a mental institution!’‘I know,’ Brayden wheezed out.The cameras were now trained on Connie as she screeched and clawed at Brayden.‘I’m sorry.’ Brayden subdued a struggling Connie. ‘I’ll get her out of here.’***Throughout the rest of the day

After getting over the shock that Arlie was Logan’s biological son, Heath suggested maybe Sirena was the mother.But Logan ruled it out, since Arlie was born several months after Sirena passed away and she’d left the country long before that, anyway.Heath asked if Logan ever used the services of a sperm bank.Logan said no.Heath asked if Logan had ever slept with someone without using condoms.Logan said no, except for that time with Alessia.And then they ran out of ideas.The most likely scenario remained that Logan had slept with someone, possibly someone he didn’t remember, and the woman later either abandoned the baby or sold it off.Heath promised to look into it.Logan cursed inwardly.Heath was painting him out to be a Lothario.How could he not remember sleeping with someone?The night with Alessia was an exception, as he was drugged.But apart from Heath’s theory of a one-night stand with a mystery woman, Logan couldn’t come up with a logical explanation for Arlie’s existe

Connie was yelling so loudly that Logan caught part of her side of the conversation. ‘…I should’ve taken both of the twins!’Alessia’s blood ran cold. ‘You took my baby. To where? Where did you take my son off to? Connie, answer me!’Connie cackled with laughter. ‘That’s right. I did it on purpose! Do you know why I only took one? I left you with the other, so you’d continue to live in misery. If I had taken everything away from you, you would’ve ended your life then and there. Which is what I should’ve done! Then you wouldn’t have come back to Veridian and snatched Brayden away from me! He’s going to leave me, you b*tch. I—’‘Connie!’ Alessia’s voice shook. ‘Where did you take my baby?’‘How the hell should I know? I just handed the little brat to a friend of mine. He had connections with a trafficking ring. Probably sold the little brat to a paedophile, ha!’‘You monster!’ Alessia was trembling so hard, the phone almost fell off from her hand.Logan came to sit next to her, holding

Logan, standing by the door, shrugged.What could he say?Milo was his son, it was only natural that he took after his old man in both looks and temperament.Arlie beamed at his brother. ‘Dad said that we’re not going to school tomorrow. We’re going to celebrate.’‘Celebrate?’ Milo snorted. ‘Why don’t we celebrate after we deal with the bad guys? Those two monsters took my brother away so easily and even lied to Mommy, making her believe Arlie was dead all these years.’Milo turned to look at Logan pointedly. ‘Aren’t you going to do something about it?’Logan knew he was referring to Connie and Brayden.He immediately replied, ‘Of course, I won’t let them go like this. I’ll make sure that they get what they deserve.’It might not be easy to convict Brayden, but Alessia had a recording of her phone conversation with Connie, who could be charged with human trafficking.Logan made a note to call Heath later.‘Why don’t you call him now?’ Milo demanded. ‘What if they run off before the po
