Chapter 269 The Palantirstone

"You are overthinking. I am but a mere chauffeur for the chairman. Do you think he even thinks so highly

of me?"

Alex sarcastically laughed it off, "Just as you've said, I am but a parasite. I am living off a woman. The fact that I am allowed to be the chairman's driver is already a fortunate thing. So how would I know of his plans or actions? Could it be that you've fallen in love with our chairman?"

Alex added further, "Let me tell you. Our chairman is rich, young, and as handsome as I am. If you marry our chairman, it'll indeed be something fortunate for you too!"

"By the way, our chairman seems to be single and available. Surely the beauties around him are clamoring for his attention. I'm afraid you have to start putting in effort or else you may end up as a mere concubine." Alex jokingly jested.

"Enough with you!"

Kate glared at him with a death stare. She was not an idiot. She knew that Alex was fooling with her.

However, she was slightly surprised as well. For Alex, the parasitic trash, to be trusted by the chairman himself, this guy was not as incompetent as he looked.

"Since the chairman trusts you, go tell him that I'll be taking a long leave of absence. I'll be back when I feel like it," said Kate coldly.

Since the chairman seemed to doubt her, it would be better for her to distance herself for a while.

Looking at Alex, she felt that all these men were unreliable. She'd rather rouse his interest in her and keep herself unpredictable.

"Huh? Why the long vacation? Surely you plan to secretly give birth to our child?" teased Alex.

Kate rolled her eyes, and retorted, "Stop daydreaming. Why don't you take a good look of yourself? Are you qualified to have me bear your child?"

She looked at Alex with disdain, "Truthfully, if this child is the chairman's, then I may consider carrying it to full term. But it's yours, so forget it."

She further added, "Ah yes! It seems like even your own son does not carry your last name. You are destined to be the parasite forever. You will never have a child carrying your family surname ever." Kate said these with a sneer as she turned and walked away.

Alex clenched his fists. This woman's words were indeed venomous and hurtful.

He chased after her, and soon arrived at an intersection where there seemed to be a commotion ahead.

He saw a huge crowd ahead, so congested that it would be hard to squeeze through.

In the midst of the crowd stood an eye-catching figure.

The woman was very beautiful, and her charm was on par with Kate's.

Moreover, compared to Kate's cold demeanor, this beauty seemed to be more easing.

Kate was trying to squeeze through the crowd. Alex tried to keep up. He then saw a street vendor selling antiques. He was holding an inconspicuous onyx and was loudly proclaiming, "I tell you! This is the Palantirstone, the heirloom of my family for generations! According to my grandfather, this Palantirstone has been passed down for eighteen generations by my ancestors. It is extremely precious..."

Laughter burst out from the among the crowd.

"Eighteen generations? Stop boasting!"

"Aye! I know it's a fake at first glance!"

"This is just a normal onyx."

The vendor flushed as he tried to argue his way out with a few people.
