Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Alexander glanced at Spencer, his tone serious. "Mr. Hogg, you've been with Mr. Sumner for many years. You don't want to see Prospectus Technology go bankrupt just because of his stubbornness, do you? I hope you can persuade him to accept my help."

Spencer remained silent for a moment before responding calmly, "I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Kinsey, but I don't think Mr. Sumner will accept your help. Please go back."

Upon seeing Spencer's cold demeanor, Alexander frowned slightly.

Still, he persisted. "If Mr. Sumner changes his mind, tell him to contact me anytime. I'll be staying in Saintornia for the next few days."

After Alexander left, Spencer went straight to Damon's office to report, "Mr. Sumner, Mr. Kinsey has left."

"Mm. If he comes again, don't let him in," Damon replied.

He wasn't about to give the Kinseys another opportunity to manipulate him. To

Damon, Alexander and Emerald were one and the same.

The only difference was that Emerald was blunt and forceful, while Alexander hid behind a façade of kindness.

"Yes, Mr. Sumner," Spencer answered.

Once Spencer left, Damon picked up his documents and resumed reading.

...

Instead of returning to his hotel after leaving Prospectus Technology, Alexander asked his driver to take him to Mason's kindergarten.

Thanks to his arrangements, he quickly found himself face-to-face with Mason.

When Mason saw him, his face lit up with excitement. "Master! I thought you went back to Meristate! What are you doing here?"

Alexander smiled. "What, Buddy? You don't want to see your master?"

"Of course, I do!" Mason exclaimed eagerly.

"Haha, that's good," Alexander said. "I was worried you hadn't contacted me in so long because you didn't want me as your master anymore."

"No way!" Mason quickly denied it, but then his expression softened, and he lowered his head. "I just... miss my mom a lot lately..."

Seeing Mason's downcast mood, Alexander felt a pang of guilt.

He reached out and gently ruffled Mason's hair. "Buddy, didn't you say you wanted

to learn hacking skills from me? I came here to see how much progress you've made."

Mason shook his head. "I haven't touched a computer lately."

"Why not?" Alexander asked, concern creeping into his voice.

"Because I started learning hacking to help my mom have a better life. But now that she's in Meristate, doesn't matter how much I

ît

learn-it's useless," Mason explained quietly.

Alexander's expression darkened.

He took a deep breath to control his rising anger and crouched to

Mason's tével. "Buddy, you can't just give upon something you've worked so hard for because of someone else."

"But... Mommy isn't just 'someone else'," Mason said, his voice tinged with sadness.

He had learned hacking with the hope of making money and taking care of his mother. But now that she was gone, the pursuit seemed pointless.

Alexander forced a smile and

replied, "Buddy, I know your mom is important to you. But if you keep learning hacking, maybe one day you'll be able to find out where she is. Then you'll have a chance to see her again."

Mason hesitated, his gaze shifting uncertainly.

Just as Alexander was about to continue, his phone suddenly rang.

Upon seeing that it was Emerald, his expression tightened.

He looked at Mason and said, "Buddy, I have something urgent to take care of. Think about what I said and call me when you've made a decision."

With that, he turned and walked out, answering the call.

Emerald's cold, angry voice came through the phone. "Alexander, I heard you're planning to help Prospectus Technology?"

Alexander wasn't surprised by her quick discovery. He remained calm as he replied, "Yes."
