Chapter 1069 Chapter 1069 Calvin was a mess on the ground, missing a front tooth, blood all over his mouth. Two of his fingernails were gone, leaving his hands a bloody wreck.
Shivering, he knelt there, wiped his nose with his sleeve, and mumbled, "It's the necklace you guys took earlier, the green one." Matthew dumped the jewelry onto the table, rummaged through it, and pulled out a green gemstone necklace. "This one?" Calvin nodded frantically. "Yeah, that's the one." Alexander toyed with the necklace, looking at him without emotion. "Why'd you steal this necklace?" Calvin replied, "Because it's valuable." Alexander kept pushing, "How do you know it's valuable? Or better yet, how'd you know I had this necklace?" Calvin was stunned for a sec, then tried to argue, "In such a big mansion, there's gotta be something valuable." Alexander pressed on, "What I mean is, there are tons of things more valuable than this. Why'd you specifically steal this? What's your deal? Who sent you to grab it?" "I..." Calvin stammered, totally lost for words.

"Wait." Alexander signaled for him to put Calvin down, leaned in a bit, and stared at Calvin's bloody face. "You were looking for a pendant that looks like a bell, right?" Calvin was taken aback. He looked up at Alexander in shock and met his smiling eyes, realizing he'd been played.
He quickly lowered his head and argued, "No!" Alexander's lips curled slightly. "No?" Calvin shook his head quickly, blood and spit almost splattering on Alexander.

Matthew asked, "What should we do with him?" "Don't need him," Alexander said casually.
Terrified, Calvin ignored the blood on his hands and grabbed Alexander's pant leg. "I'll tell the truth. Don't kill me!" Alexander said, "Let's hear it." Calvin, trembling, said, "It's the necklace you mentioned, the one that looks like a bell." "Who sent you?" Alexander asked.

"I don't know. He only contacts us when there's something he needs us to steal We can't find him otherwise," Calvin said. "What's his name?" Alexander inquired.
"I don't know. We all just call him 'boss."" After he finished, he pleaded with Alexander, "I've told you everything I know. Can you letgo?"
Alexander looked at him with no expression and said calmly, om "Unfortunately, none of this is what I wanted to hear. Matthew." Getting the command, Matthew dragged Calvin out. Calvin kept begging for mercy, but Matthew shut him up with a single chop.
The villa went quiet. Alexander sat on the sofa, staring at the images on the TV, emotions swirling in his eyes.
