Husband plans to kill me Chapter 323

After listening to Simon, I couldn't help but be amazed. I wondered where Asher found so many talented people.

But I also hoped that more good people would surround him, so he wouldn't have to fight alone...

When I got back, Royce called to ask about my plans.

I told her about Isadora's baby's one-month celebration and my conversation with Joanna.

"Anyway, that's the situation. She won't be divorcing Ronnie for now. We can't really advise her, given how complicated her family situation is."

Royce understood and said, "Just take care of yourself and handle other things. Don't stress too much about this."

"Got it. I'm planning to have a talk with Alfonso soon. NexGen Innovations will slip up soon, and I won't let Alfonso get away with it."

Especially after seeing Isadora today, my determination to help them grew even stronger!

Isadora's family has been tormented by Celestia's death. Now that we have clues and Alfonso keeps provoking us, how could I let this opportunity pass?

Bad people deserve their comeuppance, and it must be through legal means. That's always been my belief.

So the next day, I met with Alfonso in person.

I chose a café in the city center.

Alfonso probably didn't expect me to invite him for coffee. He looked around as if checking for an ambush.

I laughed, "What's there to look at? Do you think I'd have someone take pictures here?"

Alfonso shook his head, "Who knows, Caroline? You're the most cunning woman I've ever met. Who knows what tricks you have up your sleeve?"

I smiled nonchalantly and handed him the menu.

"Order whatever you want."

Honestly, if it weren't for the questions I had, I'd rather meet with Aurelia.

Dealing with men always made me feel disgusted, especially knowing Alfonso had connections with Maeve and had taken my child before.

It all made me furious.

"So, what do you want? You can't be here to discuss a partnership, right? I don't think I'm that lucky."

Alfonso's tone wasn't pleasant.

I shook my head, "We have no partnership to discuss. After Asher won the bid, our companies can't collaborate. That was agreed upon earlier."

It was to prevent unfair competition.

Alfonso's face darkened, "If that's the case, why did you ask to meet?"

"Alfonso, you should know about Knox being released."

Even saying Knox's name made me feel sick. I didn't want to be associated with someone like him.

Especially knowing he was a murderer, it made my skin crawl.

Alfonso raised an eyebrow, "Of course I know him. He's the one who killed my ex-wife."

He put on a good show in front of me, even showing a hint of sadness as he spoke!

Knowing it was all an act, I couldn't help but sneer, "You remember you had an ex-wife? I saw you with Aurelia recently, looking pretty cozy. You two were even shopping together!"

"That's not fair. Of course, I remember my ex-wife. We had a good relationship. Her death was hard on me. I met Aurelia much later. I didn't get with someone else right after Celestia died!"

Alfonso tried to defend himself.

But knowing the truth, I wasn't buying it. I stared at him for a while and said seriously, "Cut the act. I brought up Knox because I have evidence of your collaboration with him!"

Alfonso's face changed.

I continued, "He was under your orders when he ran over Celestia. After her death, you got a huge payout, right? Then Knox's family mysteriously got a large sum of money. He was taken abroad to live well right after his release. You really didn't know any of this?"

"Anyone following the case would know the aftermath. I had no idea about Knox's release. If he got such a light sentence, I'd want to ask the police what's going on!"

Alfonso suddenly gripped his coffee cup, looking indignant.

But I knew it was all an act, "Stop pretending in front of me."

"Do you think no one knows about your dealings with him?"

Alfonso looked puzzled, "Caroline, if you just wanted to talk about Knox, then you wasted your time. I really don't know anything about it."

"Maybe. What about NexGen Innovations? You don't know about that either?"

As I spoke, I checked the trending topics on my phone.

Sure enough, NexGen Innovations had just released an announcement.

It was exactly what Asher and I had discussed in detail.

It was clear that right after our discussion, NexGen Innovations had made an announcement based on our conversation!

Seeing this, I was ready to call the police.

I had witnesses, evidence, and their announcement. Reporting it to the police was completely justified.

Alfonso noticed me staring at my phone and asked, "Why did you stop talking?"

"Why does it matter to you? If you won't answer my questions, I have no reason to be polite."

I texted Madeline.

After a while, Alfonso said, "Alright, I don't know why you wanted to meet, but if it was just about Knox, you got the wrong person."

"Celestia's death was hard on me too. But life goes on. We have to move forward. Your accusations are baseless."

Alfonso stood up, "I hope this is the last time. If it's not about business, don't contact me."

He left the café shortly after.

I watched his back, thinking it might have been better not to meet.

But it wasn't entirely fruitless.

Alfonso's words showed he was affected by Knox and cared a lot...

My goal today was to ask about Knox and bring up NexGen Innovations.

It was all about breaking Alfonso's psychological defenses.
