Chapter 0044

Alexander told a well–intentioned lie. Given his real identity, associating with him was a double–edged

sword. He did not want to bring misfortune to Susanne and her family.

Patrick and Susanne both relaxed a little, although there was still a hint of disappointment in their eyes.

Susanne scoffed. “I knew it… You depended on others.”

However, she could not hide her approval of Alexander, and she discreetly placed a piece of meat on

his plate.

Patrick chimed in, “Connections can only go so far. You need to find some work on your own instead of

relying on others.”

Alexander nodded and continued eating.

Patrick had more questions. “So, how did you afford the Porsche?”

“After my service in the military, I worked on ships for several years and managed to save some

money.”

Patrick looked at Alexander, still somewhat skeptical.
