"Alex, William's eating... Did you do it?" Autumn did not want to mention what William was eating.

"Yes, it was me." Alex had no intention to hide it from Autumn.

He thought there was no need to lie to Autumn as the latter would be smart enough to figure it out as well.

He had also heard about William eating shit in the school. That was exactly how he wanted to punish the latter and to take revenge for his victim.

That se mbag is only twenty-something. He still has a long way to go. Let him pay for his sins slowly. That's way better than killing him.

By then, Alex had just gotten back to Sakura Club. Before he could sit down and have a drink, a familiar figure approached him.

"Mr. Jefferson, you're finally back! The mute has not eaten for the whole day. What if he starves to death?" Auriel sounded utterly anxious.

Alex was rendered speechless by that. I've just gone out for a few hours. He merely missed his dinner. And I'm the one starving right now, yet she only cares about that thief.

With that, Alex smacked Auriel's forehead suddenly. "Why don't you care if I've already eaten or not? What a heartless person you are!"

Auriel rubbed her forehead, staring at Alex indignantly.

A while later, Alex followed Auriel to the room where the thief was locked up.

There was a huge bed and a table in the room. The table was full of various food. Alex, who was starving, sat down and started eating right away.

The thief, who thought Alex was here to interrogate him, was slightly startled to see him eating the food.

He shifted his gaze away from Alex and sat at a corner silently.

While eating, Alex turned toward Auriel. "Do you want some?"

Auriel rolled her eyes at him, not saying a word.

The food is prepared for the mute. How could he finish them all?

Auriel did not realize when she started to grow a feeling toward the handsome young thief.

She had only stayed with her grandfather since she was a kid. Alex and Charlie were the only ones she knew all this while. Hence, this was her first time to come across someone around the same age as her. Deep down in her heart, she somehow hoped Alex would let the thief stay so that she could have a companion.

After Alex finished eating, he moved on to business.

"Hey, little guy. Are you truly a mute?" Alex shifted his gaze toward the boy who was lying on the bed.

The boy did not respond to Alex. The latter almost thought he had dozed off.

He seems unwilling to talk. That's a problem. I still want to ask him many things.

Just then, he noticed there was something in the boy's pocket.

He stepped toward the bed and took it out from the pocket without hesitation. It was a pendant, and there was a word carved on it.

Stone? Is that his surname?

Alex tried to recall if there was anyone he knew with this surname.

"Give it back to me!"

Right then, the boy snatched the pendant from Alex's hand forcefully.

Regaining his senses, Alex saw the boy staring at him wrathfully.

"So you're not a mute!"
