The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 136 [Third-Person's POV] Poor Oliver looked as though he was going to have a heart attack. The moment he'd admitted to what had been uncovered, he realized that he and his boss weren't the only ones in the room. Standing off to the side, was a rather distraught-looking Evelyn. Oh God, he thought. Had he just blown the cover of their secret mission to uncover the culprit of Alexander's attack? His heart stalled in his chest for a few seconds, while he waited for the thunderous vibrato of Alexander's scolding voice. But it never came.

In fact, the feeling in the room wasn't so much filled with tension as it was with startling curiosity. Evelyn, of all people, was the one who stepped up and spoke. "The car?" Her brows furrowed in question until suddenly something in her mind appeared to click into place. "Wait, you mean the car that was involved in the accident that almost killed Alexander?" Oliver wasn't sure how to answer. He felt as though he was being baited into a trap. All he could do was glance at Alexander for any sort of guidance as to what he should do.

---- He blamed himself for not being more vigilant with his surroundings. However, Alexander merely turned his gaze to Evelyn and gave the young woman a light nod. "Yes." From there, Evelyn snapped her eyes right back to Oliver. "Where was it?" Once more, he wasn't sure what to do. Was he allowed to divulge such secretive details? Since when had Evelyn been brought into the inner circle of their operations? A swift nod from Alexander gave Oliver the O.K. to carry on.

"The vehicle was located in a junkyard no further than twenty miles from here." "How are you certain that you found that exact one?" she questioned. "Every car that's owned by the Kingston family is built with a special, unique interior," he explained. "Trust me, car crashes aren't a common occurrence with this pack. So the chances of us stumbling upon the wrong car are slim to nothing." Evelyn nodded her head. "Okay, so you located the car. Hold on, was it ever uncovered as to why the crash occurred in the first place?

| mean, potential murder plot aside, how did the vehicle ---- end up in its current state? Were the brake lines cut? Was the steering mechanism not working?" Oliver was truly astonished by Evelyn's insight on the matter. He shared a look with Alexander who was also pleasantly surprised by her suggestions and made a mental note to write them down for later. "We're not entirely sure," Oliver commented. "You see, when the whole incident occurred, | wasn't the one behind the wheel. | couldn't tell if the brakes had been cut or if the steering wheel had locked up," Alexander said.

"What's devastating about it all was that | ended up losing one of my drivers in the accident." Evelyn's features were pinched with sadness. "Just so we're clear, Oliver, | am now including Evelyn in on our progress when it comes to this case," Alexander clarified. " Going forward, it's imperative that she knows what is going on as well." "Yes, sir." "Oliver," Evleyn spoke out with hesitation. what | did." 1...'m sorry about For a brief moment, the Beta was utterly bewildered.

It wasn't until Alexander nonchalantly brushed the side of his nose with ---- his finger that Oliver was able to comprehend what Evelyn was referring to. "Oh, Evelyn. You don't need to-" "Yes, | do," she stated. "| never meant to hurt you like that." "It's alright. | shouldn't have manhandled you like that." The corner of her mouth looked like it wanted to lift into a smile. "If you're interested, | have a really decent salve that helps with bruises." Oliver gave a sheepish smile and nodded his head. "I'll keep that in mind.

But in any case, Sir, what do you wish the next course of action to be?"
