Chapter 564 - Eliens Scheme (1/2)

That afternoon Alaric had a meeting with the higher-ups of Splitz. It was followed by a short reception in a large conference room on the highest floor of the RMI Tower. The events were attended by several Virconnect global ambassadors.

There was the most famous band in the world today from Asia - namely Rainfall, Elien Mikhailova - the ballerina superstar who had been the longest ambassador of Virconnect since its launch, and some of the world's most well-known athletes and movie stars.

Pavel approached Alaric with his staff members discussing the details of the program later tonight. He had just heard that there would be two special guests from the Schneider Group and he wanted to confirm what Alaric was actually planning.

”Oh, never mind, I just want to invite my two brothers-in-law to this important event,” Alaric said casually. Pavel's eyes could only widen. Confus.e.m.e.nt registered in his face. He could not understand what his boss' words meant.

”Aleksis is the daughter of the Schneider family.” Since Alaric could no longer stand seeing Pavel frowning and sporting a very confused face, he finally told him what had happened. ”At that time, you got the wrong information. Aleksis is not Kurt Van Der Ven's daughter, but the Schneider family's.”

”Oh ...” Even though he was beginning to understand where his conversation with Alaric was going, Pavel still felt confused. In his mind, Aleksis, who had infatuated his boss ten years ago, already died. ”I still do not understand.”

Alaric did not want to continue talking. In any case, once Pavel saw Aleksis at the event tonight, he would understand that she was still alive and she had returned to Alaric. And that would make London and Rune's presence at the Virconnect's anniversary event acceptable.

This was also in line with Alaric's plan to kill all the gossip out there about him being together with other women. In addition to introducing Aleksis as his wife, he would also announce her as the only daughter of the Schneider family, so that no one would look down on her and assume that she only married him because of his wealth and influence.

They must know that Aleksis did not need anything that other women were going after because she herself came from a very affluent and respected family.

”Good evening, Sir,” Elien quickly took the opportunity to bring Alaric a drink after he finished talking to Pavel. Today the girl looked a lot prettier than usual. She wore a short dress, showing off her beautiful curved typical of a ballerina. ”I am glad you took the time to attend the event tonight.”

Alaric was sending an SMS, asking about Aleksis news in St. Laurent, when Elien approached him with two drinks in her hands.

”Hmm ...” Alaric took one of the glasses from Elien and nodded.

”Cheers for tonight's event?” asked the woman in a melodious voice.

”Cheers!” Alaric then sipped his wine. He loved reading news from Aleksis about how she had already met up with London and Rune and was chatting with them in the penthouse.

The ballerina who felt that she was totally ignored could only press a hand on her c.h.e.s.t and force a smile. She then moved away from Alaric. She looked at her watch, seemingly thinking of something.

”Hmm ... the aphrodisiac should work in another hour, just as Eli leaves this office for St. Laurent Hotel,” Elien murmured to herself.

While chatting with the guests and other RMI officials, Elien never stopped sneaking a glance and paying attention to Alaric's condition, hoping to immediately see the drug she had mixed in the man's drink taking effect.

Elien had bribed a secretary on the 50th floor to find out Alaric's schedule today and she knew he would be going to St. Hotel. Laurent at 5 pm. It should be an hour from now, when Alaric was scheduled to go there, that the medicine would start working.

Her heart was fluttering as she couldn't wait to carry out her plan but she tried to calm down and smiled at everyone around her who were admiring her beauty.

At 5 pm, Alaric looked at his watch and signaled that he would be leaving soon. The staff and guests immediately bowed their heads slightly as a sign of respect when he waved his hand and left the meeting room.

Fifteen minutes earlier, Elien had already left before Alaric, rushing towards the St. Laurent Hotel. She had to get there before him so her plan would succeed. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, to get Elios Linden. If she couldn't do it in a gentle way, then she must do it by force.
