No Escape from Love novel Chapter 240

Alex ordered, "Make sure to handle Mrs. Ashford Senior as well."

"Rest assured, Mr. Hastings. I've already assigned someone to keep an eye on her. Every move she makes is under our control," Louis quickly assured him.

Alex nodded in satisfaction and downed the rest of his wine. "By the way, keep an eye on Celine Hayes too."

"Celine Hayes?" Louis hesitated for a moment. "She's just a neighbor of the Ashfords. She's well-informed but timid. She shouldn't be a problem..."

"Better to be cautious. Have someone watch her. I don't want her messing things up for me," Alex interrupted.

"Understood, Mr. Hastings." Louis nodded slightly in deference.

After Louis left, Alex sat alone in the office.

Serena's predicament unsettled him. He needed to resolve this quickly—not just for her but for himself as well.

"Mr. Hastings, here's the information you requested."

A sharp-looking man wearing glasses walked in and placed a file on the desk.

This was Randall Young, the top investigative reporter at YS Media, famous for his ruthless pursuit of scandalous scoops.

Alex picked up the file and flipped through it carefully. It contained detailed records of Felicia and Shirley, including their personal backgrounds and recent activities.

"Randall, I need you to go to the Ashford residence in person. I want to know everything about them," Alex said, his gaze turning sharp and commanding.

"Understood, Mr. Hastings." Randall adjusted his glasses, and a sly smirk formed on his lips.

...

He continued to guide the conversation smoothly. "By the way, I heard you know quite a bit about Madam Burke's situation."

At the mention of Nicole, Felicia's expression turned smug, and she eagerly launched into a tale, twisting the story to paint Nicole as a shameless and promiscuous woman.

Randall nodded along, all the while secretly recording her every word.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Celine stood outside, panting slightly as she carried two bags of renovation materials.

Her home was undergoing renovations, and she needed to temporarily store some supplies in the shared hallway. She had come to ask Felicia for permission.

"Mrs. Ashford Senior, my house is under renovation. Would you mind if I leave some things in the hallway for a few days?" Celine smiled politely as she asked in a courteous tone.
