This was likened to a person with dual personalities. When one personality was present, the other would be absent. Both personalities wouldn’t. appear at the same time.
“Alright. I promise!” said Alex Rockefeller while nodding.
“I haven’t asked you yet. What’s your name, Elder?” Alex asked.
“Yuno!”
“Alright, Elder Yuno. May I ask how much you know about the Rockefeller family? Although I acquired my ancestor’s legacy, I…” Alex was about to ask a question. In the end, he noticed that Yuno’s eyes slowly closed, and her facial expression changed, no longer possessing the cold countenance she had.
“Alex, what are you saying?”
It was a different voice and intonation.
“Ehh, nothing!” Alex was slightly disappointed while he looked at Phoebe.
“How do you feel now?” he asked after that.
Phoebe moved her neck and body slightly. “I should be fine. I feel pretty good,” she said.
After that, she also extended her fingers to check on her index finger. “That bone earlier…”
“Stop overthinking. That bone is probably a treasure. Now, it entered your finger. Consider it as activating your path of cultivation. It’s a huge benefit for you. I’ll do my best to help you,” Alex said.
“Path of cultivation?” Phoebe asked.
After that, Alex explained for a long while before Phoebe finally accepted the fact joyfully.
Alex didn’t tell Phoebe about Yuno because he didn’t want to frighten her. As an average person, she might be too terrified to fall asleep at night if she found out that her body had an extra soul and was in danger of being possessed.
After a moment, Phoebe started speaking in a concerned tone. “Alex, do you have a plan for the joint trial in three days that Quentin mentioned?”
“What plan? We don’t need one! Don’t worry. I can handle it!” Alex said.
“But I’m a little worried. Quentin caused such a huge scene. I’m afraid that he’s really going to go all out. If he uses foul means like harming your family…” Phoebe said.
Alex nodded.
After thinking for a moment, Alex gave Madame Brittany Rockefeller a call to tell her about the situation. After that, he called Aunt Rockefeller. Unfortunately, Aunt Rockefeller didn’t pick up his call. He could only send her a text to ask her to look after his family at home.
At that time, the sky hadn’t yet turned bright.
After staying up all night, Alex was starting to feel a little sleepy. He went straight to his bed. “If there’s anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow. I’m going to rest for a while. I’m exhausted!” Alex said.
“Where do I sleep?” Phoebe asked Alex.
Her room was covered in blood. She definitely couldn’t sleep in there. In fact, she planned to never stay there again.
“Your parents’ room.” Alex leaned to one side and closed his eyes.
Phoebe stood on the bed and looked outside. She still felt unsettled, perturbed that something terrible would happen again. When the siblings from the Zimmer family appeared, for instance, Alex only showed up after a few minutes.
After stomping her feet on the ground, Phoebe lay down next to Alex.
Only after leaning her back on him did she feel safe.
“I’m going to sleep here. If the Grandmaster from the Zimmer family sneaks in, you’ll be able to find out right away,” Phoebe whispered.
“Okay!”
After a while, Alex discovered that Phoebe had turned around and placed one hand on his waist. After some time, she even put one leg over him… Alex thought she must be hinting at something. He felt very conflicted.
Should he have given in?
To his surprise, ten minutes later, the woman kicked him off the bed.
