Mommy，We Got a Husband by Doris

Chapter 497: Do you believe there are perfect people in this world? Alaric left the hotel for Nexus Innovations. Early in the morning, Silas cto report to him. Seeing Silas, Alaric asked, "Silas, how many years have you been working with me?" Silas's heart tightened at Alaric's sudden question. Had he done something wrong? "Mr. Knight, I've been your assistant since you took office. It's been almost seven years now." "Seven years? That's quite a long time," Alaric voiced displeased. "You've been diligent, but I've also been lenient with you. When you lost Caspian back then, I didn't fire you." "Yes, Mr. Knight, I know I have many shortcomings in my work. Being able to stay by your side is all thanks to your tolerance, and I'm very grateful for that." "After working for so many years, you should understand sprinciples. In front of outsiders, you should know what to say and what not to say. Do I still need to teach you that?" Alaric reprimanded.

Hearing this, Silas couldn't help but shiver. Was Alaric angry because he told Gillian about staying at the hotel? "I'm sorry, Mr. Knight. I'll be more careful next time. Please giveanother chance. I promise I won't make such a mistake again!" Silas apologized hastily.

"Get out!" "Yes, thank you, Mr. Knight." Silas said as he quickly exited.

After Silas left, Alaric was about to start working when his phone received a push notification.

He glanced at it unintentionally and saw a familiar name.

[Young Officer Tommy Takes on Four, Bravely Fights Off Criminals!] That was the headline. Clicking on it the detailed news read: [Early this morning, four terrorists appeared in Arizona City, attacking people on the street. Many passersby were injured, and the situation was critical. Officer Tommy, who was on his way hfrom work, saw the situation and bravely fought off the criminals, preventing further harm!] The comments were full of praise, with sgirls even expressing a desire to marry Tommy.

After thinking for a moment, Alaric then called Neil. Now that Stuart had been arrested, the Storm family case had officially been reopened, and also he had the right to ask about the case's progress.

"Neil, are you busy?" Alaric asked.

"Not really. We're holding a commendation ceremony for Tommy today. I'm not the main character, so I don't have much to do." "How about I treat you to lunch? No, let's have a drink." Neil was interested in drinks.

"Sure, if you're buying, I'll be there." "Alright, see you at noon." Alaric hung up the phone, continuing to work.

Stellan was also working at this time. The hospital construction was in its final stages, and there were many small tasks that needed attention, keeping her busy.

Across from the construction site was a commercial building. Gillian sat in a window- side café, opened her phone camera, and zoomed in to clearly see Stellan busy at the construction site.

"Stellan?" Gillian muttered the name.

"She really is quite beautiful," Gillian praised with sjealousy, then put down her phone and complained, "What's the use of just being pretty? Alaric, when did you becso shallow?" Not wanting to watch anymore, after paying the bill, Gillian left the café.

At noon, Alaric met Neil at Lingyun Winery. After sitting down, Alaric explained, "This is a winery I often visit with Cormac. The wine here is quite good, Neil. You should try it." "Just looking at the environment, I can tell it's nice and upscale," Neil smiled, glancing around and then sitting down. He joked, "No wonder people want to be friends with the rich. Being friends with the rich means you get to visit such high-end places. When I was tired from work before, I'd just sit on the ground, drinking a beer. I never knew there were such fancy places to drink.

"Neil, you're joking. If you don't like it here, we can go somewhere else next time," Alaric replied.

"No need. Drinking in such a pleasant environment is great," Neil asked directly. "You suddenly invitedfor a drink. Is there something you want to discuss?" "Nothing much," Alaric voiced as he poured wine for Neil. "I just wanted to ask about the progress of the Storm family case."

"It's officially reopened. I've applied to be the lead investigator on the case, but so far, Stuart's testimony hasn't been very valuable. He seems to know nothing about the mastermind behind it. I'll need to study the next steps of the investigation." "Thank you for your hard work," Alaric said, then asked, "What about Tommy? Is he working with you now?" Lost in the world of this story? Make sure you're on Ñel5sto catch every twist and turn. The next chapter awaits, exclusively on our site. Dive in now!

"For the tbeing," Neil uttered after taking a sip of wine. "You saw the news, right? Tommy did a great job this time. Our leaders said Tommy is a rare talent and should be given special attention. Tommy has a bright future ahead. Previously, he was mainly abroad, working undercover to gather evidence. During that time, he posed as a college student and even earned a PhD in finance. Not many people can do that. My leaders said Tommy is knowledgeable, wise, hardworking, and humble. They couldn't praise him enough. Now he's working with me, but it won't be long before he surpassesin rank." Hearing this, Alaric's eyes narrowed, and he whispered, "Do you believe there's such a thing as a perfect person?" Perfect? Yes, that's the impression Tommy gave to the world.

"Everyone has flaws. Like me, I can be irritable, lose my temper, and make wrong judgments. But Tommy never does. He always appears calm and confident, able to handle any difficulty with ease. Such composure is rare even among older people." Alaric added.

"Are you still suspicious of him?" Neil questioned, surprised by Alaric's words. "Your reaction suggests you also have a high opinion of him." "At the moment, I can't find any faults with him. Since he joined the police force, he's been very dedicated, always volunteering for dangerous tasks. And the key is that Mr. Emberlyn has vouched for his identity. Mr. Emberlyn askedto take good care of him, so how could I slack off?" Alaric sighed. It seemed that everyone except him had nothing but praise for Tommy. "Forget it, let's not talk about him." He shouldn't have asked! "How's Stellan doing now?" Neil asked. "Was she scared? I really didn't want to fire that shot, but Ambrose was so agitated at the time, I was afraid..."

"I understand." Alaric replied, understanding why Neil had to shoot at that time. "Experiencing something like that for the first tis definitely frightening. Comfort her more. I've seen many cases like this. Many people are left with psychological scars and need counseling. But with you around, there's no need for a counselor." Neil's words gave Alaric an idea.
