Rebirth to take revenge
Chapter 124: Forgiveness

Chapter 124: Forgiveness

Madman!" Alex’s eyes burned with fury as he glared at Cole.

This was madness. How could Cole say such things?

Did he want to tarnish Claire’s reputation? The very thought filled Alex with rage, but he quickly dismissed it.

Claire was not that kind of woman. He was certain of it. Moreover, Cole, this animal, isn’t even worthy of having a child.

Cole continued, "You say I’m crazy? Hahaha... You’re wrong! I’m not crazy!"

Cole shouted hysterically, "I’m not crazy! I’m perfectly sane!"

"I’m telling you, today, I’m taking your woman and your child with me!" Cole declared, staring fiercely at Alex.

Alex smiled coldly and approached Cole slowly, saying, "Cole, do you really think I’m afraid of you?"

"Heh heh." Cole sneered. "Do you think I’m stupid? You know you have bodyguards, and yet you dare come alone."

Hearing this, Alex narrowed his eyes slightly. He had indeed overlooked that detail. Cole was cunning!

"Enough talk! Tonight, we’ll rely on our own abilities, and whoever wins takes everything!" Cole sneered.

Facing Cole’s provocation, Alex clenched his fists tightly. But he remembered Claire’s request and forced down his anger.

"What’s wrong? Are you scared?" Cole taunted. "Alex, when you were leading A Military Commander with an iron fist, did you ever imagine you’d be in this situation?"

"Your father didn’t act like a mad dog, biting everyone when he died. I respected him, so I won’t kill you today."

Alex took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. Changing the subject, he asked, "What do you want? Money, power, or is it the company?"

Cole sneered coldly and replied, "Do you think I lack money?"

Alex shrugged and said, "Of course not."

"If I don’t lack money or power, why do you think I’m betting against you?"

Cole gave a sinister smile. "Heh heh, Alex, you’re really too naïve. I just want to humiliate you! Hahaha..."

After hearing Cole’s words, Alex was completely stunned. Humiliate him?! What kind of motive was that?

Alex suddenly realized that Cole had no intention of negotiating at all. He had come purely for revenge. Understanding this, Alex lifted the corners of his mouth in a smirk and leisurely sat on the sofa.

He poured himself a glass of red wine and, in a relaxed tone, said, "Since that’s the case, go ahead. I’ll accompany you. I want to see how you’ll humiliate me."

Cole’s face darkened as he coldly replied, "Alex, do you think you can scare me off like this?!"

"Let me tell you, whether you’re in charge as A Military Commander or not, I, Cole, will not be intimidated by you!"

"I’ll show you with my actions that I, Cole, am more suited to lead than you!"

"Heh." Alex sneered at Cole and said, "Then why don’t you get started?"

Alex took off his suit and unbuttoned the collar of his shirt.

"Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Alex frowned in confusion and knew it must be Cole. But why did this guy come knocking on his door?

Alex opened the door, his expression displeased, and said, "I’ve already made it clear that we don’t need to negotiate tonight. You can leave now."

"Alex, I came here with sincerity," Cole lowered his proud head and pleaded earnestly.

"Hmm?" Alex looked at Cole in surprise and asked, "What did you say?"

"Alex, it’s my fault for not being sensible and targeting you. I was wrong, I admit defeat. Please forgive me this time," Cole said.

Seeing Cole’s change in attitude, Alex was a little confused and asked, "Weren’t you here to cause trouble for me?"

"Yes, absolutely," Cole nodded and said, "I shouldn’t have targeted you. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."

Feeling relieved at Cole’s sudden change of heart, Alex couldn’t help but smile wryly. This guy is quite smart.

Alex nodded and said, "Well, since you’re sincere in your apology, I forgive you."

"Thank you," Cole said gratefully.

Alex waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. Just don’t cause trouble for me again in the future."

"Don’t worry," Cole immediately promised.

After seeing Cole off, Alex waved his hand towards the corner of the living room and said, "Claire, come out."

As soon as he spoke, Claire walked out in her pajamas.

"Did he believe you?" she asked.

"He did," Alex nodded.

Claire breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Phew, we really owe Leander for this."

According to Leander’s investigation, Claire learned about Cole’s past experiences. During this time, Claire found out that the person who saved Cole had already died. And Cole didn’t know who saved him. Apart from Cole, there was probably no one else who knew about this.

Today, saying it like this, it was hard for Cole not to believe it. As a result, Cole, who had been lurking in the shadows and plotting to harm their family, was cleverly turned into an ally.

Of course, for Cole, this was not bad news. On the contrary, it was good news. After all, Cole didn’t like Alex either.

"Claire, what’s wrong with you?" Alex asked, looking at her as she stared blankly.

"It’s nothing," Claire shook her head. She thought that maybe tonight’s events were too exciting, and she couldn’t calm down for a while.

Claire took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, saying, "You really worked hard today."

"It’s nothing," Alex replied.

"But even if he believes us, he’s still a potential threat."

"This person must be eliminated," Alex narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in them. He didn’t want to waste any more time with Cole and decided to get rid of him tonight. This kind of person was a disaster even if he was alive.

"I know," Claire nodded slightly.

"Rest for tonight, and we’ll continue tomorrow night," Alex said.

Claire nodded gently. "Then I’ll go take a shower first," Alex said and went into the bathroom.

The night grew deeper. The night breeze was cool and comfortable. The sound of water flowing in the bathroom was loud and clear. Alex closed his eyes and enjoyed this peaceful moment. Suddenly, a strange sound came. Alex opened his eyes and looked around warily.

"Who?" Alex shouted in a deep voice.

Immediately after, there was a loud bang.

Alex took off his suit and unbuttoned the collar of his shirt.

"Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Alex frowned in confusion, knowing it must be Cole. But why was he knocking on the door?

"It’s nothing," Claire shook her head. She thought that maybe tonight’s events had been too intense, and she couldn’t calm down for a while.

Claire took a deep breath and tried to compose herself, saying, "You really worked hard today."

"It’s nothing," Alex said.

"But even if he believes us, he’s still a potential threat."

"This person must be eliminated," Alex said, narrowing his eyes as a cold light flashed in them.
