"Mister Kane, a moment, please!" Alexander was about to see Callie off at the gates of the Xanthos estate when a voice called out from nearby.
It was Franklin Zadra, the heir to the Zadra dynasty! "Mister Kane, with your bold venture into the north, you're sure to leave a lasting mark on its future," he said with a beaming smile, stepping in front of Alexander and Callie. "The Zadra family enjoys making new friends, and in your honor, we are hosting a charity gala. We would be delighted if you could join us and support charity organizations in the north.
"Such work not only benefits the country ' and its people but also provides an excellent opportunity to establish one's I reputation. I'm sure a man like you I wouldn't turn it down, right?" The Zadra family? That guy was one of them? Alexander frowned as he looked at Callie; she appeared surprised for a moment before leaning in and murmuring, "That's Franklin Zadra, the eldest son." The future head of the Zadra family, no less! Alexander's lips curled into a smirk, but his expression quickly turned cold.

I That slap was not just for Franklin; it was a bold message to the puppet master hiding in the shadows! "I couldn't care less about your charity galas." Alexander's expression was frosty as he addressed the enraged Franklin, dismissing the previous confrontation as nothing. "Let's get one thing straight— the Zadras have no right to summon me.
You aren't in the same league! "And now, I suggest you leave." The gloves were off! Franklin's teeth clenched as his gaze was fixed on Alexander's, burning with retaliation. However, as quickly as his rage flared, it was extinguished, replaced by a chilling, venomous gaze. He said, "I will not forget this slap, Mister Kane.
"Will you not be attending the charity gala? It's okay if you don't plan to come.
I However, I heard that you have ties to the Kanes in the north. They are headlining the event, so don't say I didn't warn I you!" Re Then, he flung his arm dramatically and spun on his heel, his car speeding into the distance.
"Alex... I mean, Mister Kane!" Callie's face was a mask of concern, her heart pounding in her chest long after Franklin's car had vanished. "What was he hinting at? Is he going to confront Mister Caleb at the gala?" Confront Caleb? If the Black Maple master was truly with the Zadra family, it was entirely possible.

UAlex:.." Callie stood at the manor's grand entrance, watching his car fade into the distance, her eyes blinking back a flood of thoughts. Alex might deny that Caleb was his father, but she knew him better than that. He would not stand by and let Caleb walk into danger.
