Chapter 352

The moment he guessed it was Thalassa, Hertha was taken aback.

“No, it’s not Thalassa!” Hertha quickly refuted, “Thalassa works at Sinclair Group. How can she have a boyfriend? It’s one of my other friends.”

“What kind of maniac wouldn’t accept a break-up and tries to control others?” Alaric was skeptical, raising an eyebrow in disbelief.

Hertha eagerly agreed, “Yes, he’s a maniac. That’s why I say that women must be careful when choosing a boyfriend.”

Then her innocent, round eyes sparkled as she glanced at Alaric.

That glance was filled with a hint of admiration for him.

Alaric was slightly uncomfortable under her blatant gaze, he averted his eyes. “Which friend of yours?”

“My college mate, Debby. If you don’t believe me, you can check it out.” Hertha casually mentioned a real college mate.

Alaric was skeptical but decided to verify it. He quickly sent a message to his assistant.

Hertha’s heart was pounding as she saw him actually investigating it.

What if he found out it wasn’t Debby?

What if he refused to help?

Hertha was anxious.

Soon, Alaric received a response from his assistant.

He opened the message, and Hertha was so anxious she tiptoed to get a peek.

But Alaric held his phone high, not letting her see.

Unable to see, Hertha pouted, feeling both nervous and wronged.

After Alaric read the message, his handsome face darkened.

“How did it go?” Hertha asked anxiously.

She was unsure of what he had found out, her heart was racing. She was on pins and needles.

Alaric finally said, “Tell me, how should we distract them?”

Hertha’s anxious heart finally settled down. Did that mean he believed her?

What exactly did Alaric find out?

She didn’t know, nor did she care much. It was just Debby, the woman who always opposed her and Thalassa. She didn’t care about her affairs.

All she needed was Alaric’s help “How would I know? You think of a way.” Hertha said softly.

Alaric frowned, “You do realize you asked for my help, right?”

The message from his assistant indeed confirmed that Debby was dating a man who was quite influential and notorious for bullying others.

“Yes, I asked for your help, and that includes brainstorming and using your intelligence,” Hertha said, lowering her voice to avoid being heard by the bodyguards nearby.

“Are you stupid? Don’t you have a brain?” Alaric looked at her as if she was an idiot.

Hertha was speechless.

She was so angry. He called her stupid!

She hated being called stupid the most.

To prove herself, Hertha racked her brain to come up with a plan, determined to impress him.

Soon, her eyes lit up. “I got it!”

Alaric asked, “What?”

Hertha beckoned him to lean in closer, indicating she wanted to whisper something to him.

At first, Alaric was reluctant, but seeing her anxious demeanor, he suppressed his impatience. He leaned in and tent her his ear.

Hertha gestured and whispered her plan into his ear.
