Husband plans to kill me Chapter 368

I looked at Royce, feeling a bit helpless. "Looks like this anniversary celebration won't be peaceful."

Royce quickly took my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Don't sweat it, I'm here. Whatever Alfonso's up to, we won't let him get away with it."

I nodded, feeling a bit more at ease.

Royce's calm and decisive nature always reassured me, especially at critical moments like this.

Before long, Simon and Savannah arrived at the office.

Simon, as always, got straight to the point as soon as he walked in. "Any news on Alfonso?"

"Yeah. The person you mentioned earlier found out."

I handed him the file. "Alfonso's recently registered several new companies, and their business scope overlaps significantly with ours. I think he might be planning something big."

Simon glanced at the documents, his brow furrowing. "Alfonso is indeed a sly one!"

Savannah added, "Is he trying to distract you with these small companies?"

I replied, "That's likely."

Alfonso had always been unpredictable and ruthless.

We couldn't afford to be careless.

"We need to discuss our next steps," Simon quickly responded.

I nodded and was about to speak when there was another knock on the office door.

To my surprise, it was Harold who walked in.

Seeing so many people in the office, he looked a bit nervous. "Ms. Sharp, I... I found some new leads. Mr. Wheeler asked me to come over and tell you, but I didn't expect so many guests."

I motioned for him to sit down. "Don't be nervous, take your time. What did you find?"

Harold hesitated before placing his laptop on the table and opening a folder.

Once he started working on the computer, he seemed much more at ease.

"I've been tracking Alfonso's movements and found that he's not only registered new companies but also frequently meets with some unidentified individuals. These people don't look like business partners; they seem more like... people from the underworld."

My heart sank as I realized the gravity of the situation.

If Alfonso was indeed connected to the underworld, his methods could become even more extreme!

But why would he suddenly have such connections?

Could it be that the person behind him wasn't the one using the "Red Spider Lily" avatar?

"Can you identify these people?" Royce asked.

Harold shook his head, looking troubled. "I can't be sure yet. But I found that some of them have criminal records involving violent debt collection. I think Alfonso might be using these people to pressure us."

I felt a surge of anger. "Our company has always conducted legitimate business, and he's using such tactics against us?"

Simon spoke up. "Don't jump to conclusions. We haven't fully investigated yet. I'll help you look into it as well."

I nodded and was about to speak when Savannah suddenly interjected. "Caroline, in that case, I think we should do something different for the anniversary celebration. If Alfonso wants to cause trouble, we should do the opposite and catch him off guard!"

This didn't sound like something Savannah would say, and I was momentarily stunned. "What do you mean?"

Savannah smiled confidently. "We can make the anniversary celebration even more high-profile, inviting more media and partners to draw Alfonso's attention."

"Then, we can announce some big news at the event, like a new product launch or a major partnership. That way, even if Alfonso wants to cause trouble, it won't be easy for him."

I brightened up, thinking Savannah's suggestion made a lot of sense.

If Alfonso wanted to cause trouble at the anniversary celebration, we might as well make the event even more high-profile, leaving him no room to act.

"That's a good idea," Royce nodded, his tone approving. "We can turn the anniversary celebration into a major industry event."

I nodded, already forming a preliminary plan in my mind. "Alright, let's go with that for now. I'll contact the media to expand the scale of the celebration. As for the details, I'll need to think them through."

I turned to Harold, speaking gently. "Harold, keep tracking Alfonso's movements and notify me immediately if you find anything new."

Harold nodded, still looking a bit nervous as he swallowed. "Ms. Sharp, I'll do my best."

I smiled and patted his shoulder. "You've done a great job already. Thanks to you, we can stay ahead of Alfonso's plans."

Harold looked grateful. "Mr. Wheeler has been encouraging me... And I'm willing to do this for you, Ms. Sharp."

I smiled. "Good, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to help in the future."

After everyone left, I leaned back in my chair with a long sigh. "When will this ever end?"

Royce walked over and gently took my hand. "It'll be a while. Our relationship has just started, so other things won't be easy either."

I gave a wry smile. "What does that have to do with our relationship?"

"I don't know, just saying."

Since being with me, Royce had become more playful!

But his lighthearted comment did help shift my focus.

"By the way, Royce, do you think there's anything else we should do?"

I looked up at him.

Although we had a preliminary plan for the anniversary celebration, Alfonso's actions had me on edge.

Royce thought for a moment before speaking slowly. "I think you could add some special segments to the celebration, like a charity auction or a public donation. That way, not only can we enhance the company's image, but it will also leave Alfonso with no room to act."

I thought Royce's suggestion made sense, but I wasn't sure if a charity auction or public donation was suitable for our company's anniversary celebration.

Although it could boost the company's social image and leave Alfonso with no room to act.

After all, he couldn't cause trouble at such an event.

In the following days, we began preparing for the anniversary celebration in full swing.

I frequently held meetings to discuss details, ensuring every aspect was flawless.

Although Royce wasn't part of my company, as my boyfriend, he was always there to help.

I felt he was overworked, practically doing two jobs.

Not only did he manage his own company's affairs, but he also helped me with mine.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but ask him, "Are you exhausted lately?"

"No. I'm happy to help you."

Royce never showed any signs of fatigue in front of me.

Instead, he always provided me with strong and unwavering support.
