Bab 329: Alaric's Past

"What do you know about me?" Aleksis asked quietly. She looked at Alaric questioningly.

She was not sure that Alaric knew she was the biological daughter of the owner of the Schneider Group, and she would one day inherit one of the largest corporate groups in the world. Nonetheless, she was interested in knowing what Alaric knew about her.

Alaric did not want to embarrass Aleksis by discussing her status as Kurt Van Der Ven's bastard. He refused to discuss the information he learned from Pavel.

"Can we talk about something else?" Alaric asked. "I don't want to ruin our last night together before I go to London by discussing work."

Aleksis looked down. She knew it was in vain to convince Alaric to cancel his partnership with the Meier Group unless she opened herself to him and told him what had happened 17 years ago; that Alexei Meier had poisoned her and almost killed her when she was just over 2 years old.

She couldn't do it.
