Chapter 348
Seeing that his father was calling so early in the morning repeatedly, Frederick could guess what the call was about. He slowly declined it and prepared the food. He gave Alicia a spoon. This time, Alicia did not take it. She just lowered her head with the sandwich in her mouth.,
"What's wrong?
", Shaking her head, Alicia pursed her lips. In the end, she could not help but ask in a small voice,
"Dad... Did he ask you to divorce me?
", That must be the reason why he didn't want to answer the phone in front of her. When she thought about what had happened that day, the injury on her face was obvious! It was understandable that Mr. Clements loved his son very much. He would definitely protect Frederick. Although she understood this, she still felt wronged!, Frederick had watched the surveillance video from that day, but he could only see the movements and expressions on the faces as there was no audio. Although he did hear part of the conversation before entering the door, he didn't expect this!, He raised his hand and pinched her cheek dotingly,
"Did you forget about the Clements family motto? What's the first one?
", Never divorce!, This rule did exist in the family. The Clements family had always believed that a harmonious family could bring prosperity. Therefore, since he was a child, he was taught family values and responsibility. They had to value marriage greatly. However, rules could be bent. There was no need to be that rigid., Looking up, a trace of surprise flashed through Alicia's eyes. Mr. Clements had told her to leave him. Didn't that mean to get a divorce? What was the point of not divorcing?, Frederick smiled. It wasn't easy to fool her.,
"Silly girl! The person you married is me, and the person you will live your whole life with is me! Except for me, no one else has the right to decide my life! You don't need to take anyone's words to heart, except for mine!
", If he divorced her, how could he find another woman like her?, He grabbed her hand and rubbed the back of it. Then he handed the spoon to her.
"Eat more! I like the Ally that's chubby and vivacious!
", After taking a bite of the sandwich, Alicia blinked her eyes and said,
"That's a pig and a fish!
", How dare he describe her like that!, Frederick couldn't help laughing., He was amused by her. Whenever he was with her, he laughed more than all the times he'd laughed in his whole life!, It was true that an interesting woman would make life much more wonderful!, At this moment, Frederick felt like every day was full of sunshine., Just then, his phone rang again. Worried that Alicia would overthink matter, Frederick didn't reject the call. However, when he spoke, his tone was indifferent.,
"It's me...
", Ignoring his attitude, Mr. Clements' anxious and angry voice roared through the phone.,
"Frederick, Hallie was beaten up in East Bannpool yesterday. Her face has been badly injured and she even needs stitches. She's also lost two teeth!
", Frederick smiled coldly and said in a cold voice,
"Why are you telling me this? I'm not interested to know!
", It was good enough that he didn't kill her!,
"Alas, Frederick! No matter what, she, is your sister. The person who beat her up was one of the leaders of Dragons Gang. I don't know how she got involved with people like this. It's impossible to negotiate with them, and even if we were to file a police report, someone else would take the blame Hallie's not even married yet, but there are photos of her all over the Internet. She was photographed in the club, and a few of them...she was completely naked! I've already gotten someone to delete the photos, and I asked Trevor for help. However, there's only so much I can do. The Internet is abuzz with this, and I heard Dragons Gang is even distributing magazines with all these photos. How do you expect Halley to step out of the house in the future? She's completely ruined!
" , Mr. Clements was angry, anxious, and worried., He pleaded,
"Frederick, I know you have a lot of connections. Perhaps you can find Willy and ask him for help? We are a family after all! A scandal like this is bad for the, familyTm begging you think, of something. Help Halley! It's best if we could get in touch with people from Dragons Gang! It's fine if we need to spend some money. I just want things to stop spreading! She's still young...
" , Frederick smiled coldly, but narrowed his eyes. How dare he speak about family at this time? When he wasn't around, why didn't Mr. Clements think about Alicia being part of the family?
"Okay, I know! I'll try my best! If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up!
", He hung up and threw the phone aside. He picked up the spoon, and began to eat breakfast with Alicia., The two of them were very close to each other and Mr. Clements voice had been quite loud. Alicia could hear part of the conversation.
"Did something happen to Hallie?
", Seeing that Mr. Clements had made three consecutive calls, it was probably quite urgent! However, it was obvious that Frederick didn't want to help!,
"Well, she deserved it. I think she had some conflict with people in the nightclub!
", He put some food into her plate. Frederick purposely tried to diminish the matter and said,
"Don't bother about her. Here, have some more food. I'll get the doctor to come and check on you later.
"
"Okay! Hubby, you eat too!
", Thinking of the nightclub, there were all sorts of people there. It was normal to have some arguments and conflict there. Alicia didn't think much about it. Although the breakfast in the hospital was simple, they still enjoyed it very much., After having breakfast, Frederick accompanied her out for a walk., Since he was afraid of her moving around, he brought along the bodyguards. He grabbed her arm and didn't let go at all in fear that she'd get so excited she'd forget about her injury. As expected, she swung her free arm in all directions throughout their walk.,
"Does your wound still hurt?
", Alicia shook her head.,
"No, it doesn't! It's just a little taut and itchy, like my skin is being pulled tight. Hubby, look at me. I can walk and move around just fine. The wound is on my back, and you can't even see it when I have my clothes on! I'm fine!
", Frederick glared at her and his face darkened.
"Don't be too greedy! What if something goes wrong again?
", Knowing that there was no room for negotiation, Alicia knew when to stop. She reached out and hugged him.
"It's my fault. My dear husband, don't be angry. I'll stay in the hospital obediently...
", In any relationship, no matter how intimate both parties were, there was still bound to be arguments. It was obvious that at critical moments, both parties would have to compromise and tolerate each other. Almost at the same time, Frederick relaxed his tightly knitted brows.
"Let's walk one more round and head back!
", Seeing that he was in a better mood, Alicia nodded in agreement., After returning to the ward, she knew that Chet would usually come over at nine o'clock. Alicia obediently got on the bed and started playing with her phone. As she casually scrotted through her phone, a few messages popped up. She sat up straight, her eyes open wide. ,
"Scandal: Rich Young Lady, Wild And Filthy!
",
"Socialite Or Escort? Shocking News!
",
