Chapter 0149 Alexander had his gaze fixed on Carmela, distant and detached.

He was seated in the backseat of the car; the one-way mirror kept the outside world. from peeking in. Carmela could not see inside, but Patrick and Susanne had a crystal -clear view of every expression that crossed her face.

Susanne had been itching to step out and welcthe elderly woman when she arrived, but Patrick held her back. They both knew what Carmela was like, yet they had not expected her to be this downright nasty!

“Mom?”

Carmela’s son, Cirroc, sporting a laid-back suit and trendy plastic glasses, spotted the Porsche from afar and made a beeline toward it.

“Cirroc, just hold on a sec.”

Carmela gestured for him to wait and turned back to Alexander. She said with irritation, “I’m talking to you! How many times do | need to tell you? Move your junk of a car out already! You’re in Cirroc’s spot!”

Before Alexander could even respond, she scorned Amber, “I nearly forgot, he’s just a live-in son-in-law. He can’t make a call without his wife! Amber, he does what you say, doesn’t he? Tell him to scram!”

Amber’s face tensed, ready to fire back, “Aunt, you...”

“Mom!”

Just a moment later, Cirroc arrived, eyeing the Porsche with a whistle of appreciation.

He snapped a few selfies with the car, his voice dripping with envy, “What a ride, what a ride! A limited edition worth a fortune, over 1.8 million! I've never even seen one of these overseas..

After pocketing his phone, he looked puzzled and asked, “Mom, what's all the fuss about? Isn’t grandma’s birthday party about to kick off?”

Carmela paused, her eyes wide as she jabbed a finger toward the sleek Porsche ” Hold on. Are you tellingthis car is worth over 1.8 million? Are you sure abo

that?”

Cirroc flashed a grin, brimming with confidence. “Mistake that? No way. | know cars, especially the high-end ones. | bet it’s a rental. | mean, I’ve never heard of anyone here buying one. Even the hardcore fans haven't buzzed about it!”

Off to the side, Alexander could not help but let a sly smile creep across his face. Sales of luxury cars to VIPs were top secret unless the buyer said otherwise Poor Cirroc was out of his depth, thinking car buffs had the inside track on everything

“Rented? That explains it!” Carmela’s tension melted as she playfully poked Alexander’s nose, teasing him, “You hadgoing there! | actually thought you were skind of VIP. Turns out you're just all show, trying to impress at the old lady’s

birthday bash!”

“| would’ve bought it too if my son hadn't called your bluff!” The crowd of family and friends nodded along with Carmela, casting judgmental glances at Alexander.

“Alex, let's just move the car,” Amber suggested, eager to avoid further drama. Cradling Olivia, she added softly, “No point getting worked up over her.”

With a nod and a casual smile, Alexander headed for the Porsche.

That was when his pocket buzzed.

Acall from the Porsche dealership’s customer service?

He pulled out his phone, checked the caller ID, and answered nonchalantly.

“Mister Kane!”

On the line was the young saleswoman, crackled with barely contained excitement. Your imported luxury sedan has been flown in and is ready for delivery. All the paperwork has been handled. Where do you want it? Just tellwhere you are, and I'll get the transport truck rolling!”

Alexander paused and replied with a hint of anusement in his voice, “I’m over at the entrance of the Habergam neighborhood, in the old town of Ol‘ Mare.”

“Don’t keepwaiting. You’ve got ten minutes!”
