My Powerful CEO Husband

Chapter 78

Ch. 78 / 753 Jan 28, 2026

Seeing that the man was angry again, Lita chose to be silent. She did not want to continue to provoke Alex, no matter why he got angry. Quarreling with him could not solve the problem they had now.

Besides, this man was trapped here because of her. Lita decided to give in to him and not to argue with him.

She walked to the iron gate and looked around. There was not a soul in the empty corridor. Everything was silent except for her and Alex!

'They won't just lock us up and then ignore us, will they?' She thought of the man who held the Tibetan mastiff just now. He said that he wanted Alex to bring one hundred million dollar to get her out, then Alex appeared...

It seems that Alex showed up too soon, Lita thought. 'Perhaps Nick went back home and informed Alex."

Lita walked along the iron fence door a few times, only to find that except for a camera with a light on, there was no other people or anything, and everything was so quiet that people could not help but feel depressed.

Thinking about the ransom of a hundred million dollars, it was obvious that this man would not pay for her sake. Besides, she was not worth this astronomical figure. To be honest, Alex could come to save her, she had already been grateful to him.

Even if Alex did this just for his brother's sake, Lita would still be deeply grateful to him.

"Hey...let us out...It's illegal to hold us captive... It's illegal!"

As time went on, Lita became more and more anxious. She was worried that Harry and Alice would go to tell Ethan after waiting for them for too long. Ethan was seriously ill. He could not sustain the news that his precious brother was in danger again.

At this moment, almost everyone knew that this was Ethan's plan, and that Ben was carrying out the plan, only Lita was kept in the dark. She never thought that this conspiracy was Ethan's idea, and the ultimate goal was to make her and Alex have a baby.

If Lita knew the truth, she would probably be pissed off.

Seeing the woman yelling at the camera in a very silly and innocent manner, Alex frowned and said, "All right, stop yelling! Those guys are inhuman!"

In the monitoring room, Gavin sat gracefully on the cushioned sofa, playing with the red wine glass in his hand, watching the reality show within the iron fence door. The mastiff paced back and forth in front of the sofa and barked at Alex on the screen from time to time.

"Ben, I think Gary has fallen in love with Alex!" Gavin pulled the rope in his hand, trying to stop the dog from barking.

Ben lips twitched slightly. Perhaps only Gavin could think that the dog would fall in love with a man. So he asked in a soft voice, "Are you jealous?"

"D*mn! Why should I be jealous? It's just a dog!" Gavin snorted and said, "I'm glad to help people get what they want. I will agree to marry my Gary to Alex."

... Ben was choked again. He was greatly impressed by Gavin's whimsical fantasy.

Gavin was the most carefree one among the three of them. He would never be troubled by anything. Some people were born with a silver spoon, but he was born with diamonds. He was from an eminent family with enormous wealth, so he never had to work hard for a living. Naturally, he could not understand the hardships of life other people experienced.

He treated everyone and everything with a cynical attitude. He never take anything to heart. He was just playing, playing with his life, playing with sports cars, playing with all sorts of women...This was his state of life!

"Alex is charming. Even a dog would fall in love with him," said Ben meaningfully, staring at Alex on the screen.

"D*mn it, Ben, you don't have a relationship with Alex too, do you?" Gavin seemed to suddenly be enlightened. "But you have to follow the first-come-first-served rule. Gary got its eye on Alex first."

Ben curved his lips and smiled. Gavin's words always made people's mind derail. It was fun and relaxing to talk with him. From time to time, he made you not know either to laugh or to cry.

"Then you have to ask the woman who called Lita if she agrees or not. She is Alex's legal wife! With her around, Gary and I will have no chance at all."

Ben stopped arguing with Gavin any longer, but fixed his eyes on Alex. He seemed to be a little worried now. Would Alex produce a baby obediently?

On the screen, Lita walked to the iron fence and yelled at the camera. Then, Alex said, "Those guys are inhuman!"

Obviously, he was referring to him and Gavin. Ben had always been a calm person, but Gavin was the opposite.

"Ben, Alex accused us for being inhuman!" Gavin protested.

"Maybe he is right. We shut him and his woman up in a room that looks like a cage to produce offspring... It's really inhumane!" Ben was very honest with his behavior.

After a moment of silence, Gavin suddenly grinned evilly and said, "Ben, why don't we just be a little bit more inhuman?"

"What do you mean?" Ben frowned and asked.

But Gavin just smiled without saying anything.

In the outer room, Alex was playing with his mobile phone and he took a look at the camera once after a while. His handsome face was filled with anger.

Alex occupied the sofa, so of course Lita wouldn't go sit there too. But Alex wouldn't let her talk to the camera. For a moment, Lita really didn't know what she could do.

Because the signal was blocked, Alex couldn't make any call. But suddenly, Alex's cell phone beeped for an incoming text.

Alex ignored the text, but quickly dialed Ben phone number. The line got through but Ben didn't answer. About half a minute, the signal was blocked again, and the disconnection signal sounded.

Lita heard the sound of the text and asked excitedly, "It got signal? Is it a text?"

"Sh*t!" Alex cursed at the camera. He looked down helplessly and read the text.

"Alex, stay here for a few days and produce the offspring for your family with this woman. She will be a good wife as well as a good mother. Ethan has insight into women."

"What information did they send? Did they ask you for the ransom?" Lita came closer to read the content of the text.
