Chapter 468 Today, Lela Takes the Surname Gomez Instead of Her Father's
Alvin sat in front of Lela and handed her a cake.
Lela took the cake and smiled happily. "Thank you, Uncle Alvin. I love sweets the most."
Gazing at Lela, whose features bore a resemblance to Amanda's, Alvin's heart softened. "If you like it, I'll always buy it for you. But, Lela, how did you figure out that I am your uncle?"
Lela paused for a moment, then said, "Amanda told me she has a brother named Alvin and a daughter named Flora. Amanda likes lotus flowers, while you smoke lotus-flavored cigarettes. You hate the Harrison family, and you killed Antolin, right?"
As she spoke, Lela made a throat-slitting gesture across her neck.
Her innocent expression, combined with such a terrifying and bold action, startled Alvin.
Alvin asked, "How did you know it was me?"
Lela took a bite of the cake, tilted her head, and said with an innocent expression, "I guessed."
Lela's face was highly deceptive.
Alvin astonishingly believed her words, assuming she had merely guessed.
Alvin didn't intend to hide it from her and smiled. "Aren't you afraid of me?"
Lela heard this and smiled sweetly. "No, I'm not."
Alvin raised his hand and gently rubbed Lela's head, his face full of affection. "Good girl, my niece should be this brave."
Thinking about confirming a certain suspicion, Lela tilted her head and continued to ask, "You're amazing, but how did you do it?"
As she spoke, Lela looked around, leaned closer to Alvin, and asked mysteriously, "Uncle Alvin, do you have some other impressive identity? I really want to know."
On the day of the race, Patricia told Lela that she met Dominic at the foot of the mountain road.
Dominic was someone close to the leader behind the Arnold Assassin Team.
This mercenary group boasted the world's most robust mercenaries and was the sole organization that accepted missions from other entities while maintaining its own sovereignty.It was powerful and highly respected.
The ones who wanted to kill Lela were the Wolf gang, so if Lela guessed correctly, the person behind the Arnold Assassin Team was likely Alvin.
Alvin watched Lela eat with affection. Hearing this, he didn't want to scare Lela any further. Instead, he stood up, poured Lela a glass of water, and handed it to her with his distinctively jointed hand. He didn't answer Lela's question but spoke with unprecedented anticipation, "So, are you willing to come home with me? I'll protect you from now on."
"What?" Lela put down the cake and looked at Alvin in confusion.
Alvin crossed his hands, a deep guilt flashing across his face. "I just got back not long ago and found out Flora died. Now, I don't want to lose you too. Butler, I looked into his profession; he's the butler for the Gomez family. So, Lela, is he the one who sponsored you?"
Alvin anxiously watched Lela, struggling to believe the very explanation he had given.Lela's last name was now Gomez!This was no coincidence.
Lela pursed her lips. She didn't intend to deceive Alvin and shook her head firmly. "No, it was Sylvester."
Alvin looked at Lela, and his heart sank upon hearing this.
As he knew, the Gomez family was now controlled by Sylvester Gomez. Sylvester was ruthless and eccentric; He was not the kind of person who would kindly sponsor a little girl, and now, his only niece Lela didn't take her father's surname but the surname Gomez. Fuck!
