Ecstacy of the Heart

Chapter 9 Are You Hurt?

Alexander Parker.

He was that man who had seemingly appeared out of thin air.

Allison had handed herself over to fate just when Julius’ slap was about to land on her cheeks. At the

last moment, Alexander appeared and saved her from her impending fate.

Alexander was clutching Julius’ wrist hard and this made him whimper in pain as he begged Alexander

to let go of him.

“Who are you? Let my husband go now.” Anna, who was by their side, saw that things had taken a turn

for worse and stepped in.

Alexander saw Anna coming towards him and he responded by letting go of Julius’ hand as if a virus

was approaching him. He then pulled Allison to his side in one fell swoop.

His motion was smooth and elegant.

He tilted his head slightly as he asked worriedly, “Are you hurt?”

Although his tone was still as cold as ever, his words had warmed her up from the inside.

She met Alexander’s gaze while meekly nodded in his direction.

Seeing that someone had appeared out of nowhere to protect Allison, Anna was even more frustrated

for not being able to retaliate. To top it off, the man that appeared seemed to be in a class of his own.

She roared at Alexander, “Who the hell are you? Are you trying to poke your nose in other people’s

affairs?”

When Anna just finished her sentence, Julius got a good look at Alexander and a drastic transformation

occurred on his face. He blurted out in fear, “Mr… Mr. Parker!”

Mr. Parker?

Anna turned around to check what was going on with Julius.

Although she had never seen Mr. Parker in person, there weren’t many people who could be called by

that name in J City. Furthermore, if that person had such an outstanding appearance, it could only be

that particular person.

“You are Alexander Parker?” Anna couldn’t believe her eyes.

The man who was guarding Allison turned out to be that Alexander who had the whole of J City in his

palms.

“Get lost.” Alexander threw a glance at Anna and uttered these two words without any emotion.

His voice wasn’t especially loud but Julius was soaked in cold sweat after hearing that.

However, Anna didn’t want to back off just yet, “Who are you to ask us to get lost? This mall belongs to Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

my family.”

In other words, she was asking Alexander to get lost instead.

At the moment she barely finished her threatening words, an icy cold aura was emitted from

Alexander’s body which suffocated the people around him.

He snapped his frosty glare in their direction and announced in a rigid voice, “From this moment on,

this mall belongs to the Parker Group.” Alexander was saying this in a flat voice but his gaze was

menacing and imposing.

Anna was intimidated by his eyes as she let a shudder run through her. However, she continued being

stubborn, “How can you…”

“I’m really sorry, Mr. Parker. We will get lost now.”

Julius who could sense that the atmosphere was turning sour immediately interrupted Anna. He bowed

profusely in front of Alexander as a sign of apology before dragging Anna away.

Anna was looking indignant but she couldn’t pry herself out of Julius’ grip. She had no choice but to

leave together with Julius while staggering along the way.

This nonsensical fiasco finally ended.

A bustling crowd had formed around them, and at the sight of Alexander, they all couldn’t suppress

their desire to take out their phones and capture a photo of him. At that moment, Bernard hurriedly

came over.

“Handle the aftermath.” Alexander ordered.

“Yes.”

Allison who was next to him froze. This was the first time she had seen someone with such immense

aura. His words alone seemed like they could trump over everything.

“Missus, it’s time to leave.”

Bernard whispered by her ears.

Allison came back to reality and at a glance, the onlookers were gone like the wind.

Alexander was already starting to move away. Without thinking too much, she broke into a

chase.
