Chapter 408
Frederick looked at Danica and said,
"Is there anything else you want to say besides this?
",
"What?
", Danica was shocked for a moment. She had a gut feeling that they weren't talking about the same thing., She suddenly thought of something, and true enough, her prediction came true,
"Did the issue with East Valiant Commerce have anything to do with your leave that time?
", Although it was a question, the way Frederick acted confirmed her suspicions., Unexpectedly, Frederick's attention was not on the west city, but Danica's past instead. She felt uneasy and subconsciously clenched her fist tight and said,,
"Does this have something to do with the drastic change in your attitude towards me other than the fact that I left without saying goodbye?
", That was the worse mistake she had ever made! She was certain of the answer as well!, For a moment, she felt as if her heart was crushed into pieces. Actually, she knew she would be held accountable as well! However, she was not the main perpetrator, nor was she the one who executed it!
"The past is in the past! Let's not bring it up again!
", A simple conversation where none of them admitted or denied, but they both had the answers in their hearts., Honestly, Frederick was rather upset about it! After all, she was once the special woman in his life. Never once did he imagine that she would betray him!,
"Does it still bother you?
" She was right after all. This was a major issue between them., Danica looked at him with an infatuated gaze., Frederick now was a real man, and he emitted a mature aura. It was very enchanting and different from the young boy he once was. Time aged him well and Danica admired him sincerely!, Unlike in the past, she fell in love with his good looks and unapproachable personality! But the charm he has now came from within!, This time, Frederick gave her a sincere smile,
"Do you think it is still necessary for me to be bothered by it? If I really did, I would seek an answer out of habit.
", After all, what happened in the past was not justified with any evidence, and there wasn't any surveillance footage back in the day! He was doubtful and uncomfortable about it. Perhaps, deep in his heart, he hoped that she had nothing to do with any of that. He hoped that the beauty in the past was not just a dream!, However, none of that mattered to him anymore! If she hadn't brought it up, he wouldn't remember any of it even he saw her. It didn't matter if she was behind the matter, he just simply wouldn't dwell on it anymore., Danica tightened her grip on her bag as a response and then said,,
"It wasn't me, but I might have been involved in it. The reason why I left had something to do with this! Frederick, it doesn't matter if you believe me or not, I just want to tell you that even if I betrayed you, I never meant it! I will never hurt you!
", Danica said without a single quaver. She wasn't exactly lying about this!, She could push all the responsibility to her father and explained that she was being lied to; been driven to a corner; even left due to embarrassment. She had a relevant, believable reason! She thought about it and immediately got back to the topic.,
"Your achievements today are proof of your work towards your ambitions. No matter whether I'm by your side or not, I'm still happy for you!
", The corner of her mouth twitched a little; she made a pitiful look on purpose. After that, she smiled and said,,
"I have a family business as well, so I know the hardship you went through to have your achievement today! No matter what, be careful! It is never a bad thing to be cautious. I heard that the community in the west city is big this time, don't make a mistake that you'd regret! Take note of the people around you...
" , After that, Danica stopped speaking and left. After walking for some distance, she stepped to the side and took out her phone to send a message., Not only did Alicia notice Frederick and Danica's interaction, but others as well. Once Danica left, Carson and Trevor came over.,
"Frederick, what does she want?
",
"Actually, Alicia is pretty good. You and Danica...?
", The both of them looked towards Alicia as they spoke. Frederick had some thoughts in his heart but he was uncertain about it, hence he did not say much.,
"It was nothing! She just came to say hi!
", After that, he changed the topic,
"By the way, what is it with the Lance family? Are they very famous in the west?
", Why doesn't he know anything about them?, Looking at this happy man, Carson shook his head and said,
"I've never heard of them! They're probably not a big deal! Also, today's engagement is quite sudden! It feels like everything happened at rocket speed...
", Trevor looked up and said,,
"From what I know, the Lance family, has a sports equipment business. They have quite a range of gyms! So I'm not surprised if they know a good number of people, and I heard that they live in the suburbs of the west side. They will be well-known after today! In such a situation, Mr. Clements would have accepted anyone willing to marry her! I heard that it was an arranged marriage and they fell in love at first sight? Mr. Clements seemed to have paid the Lance Group two hundred million dollars for some kind of business investment! This is not a small amount of money! The expenses today must've been paid equally by the both of them!
" ,
"Doesn't this mean that they are selling someone to them?
" It was obvious that it was a losing game!, Carson teased while shaking his head and looking at Frederick. He was in big trouble this time!,
"Isn't your hospital branch at the, west about t to come into operation, soon? Help me keep an eye on the, news. I heard that a lot of people want that piece of land? I'm really curious, who has such powerto fight before the bid has even begun?
" , Fools were everywhere!, Was it to cause him trouble or did they just have too much money on their hands?, After Frederick left the both of them, his thoughts were still all over the place. Just as he turned around, a pair of arms encircled his waist; he saw a pouting, gloomy face by his side. Suddenly, Frederick smiled brightly and put down his glass. He then hugged Alicia's shoulders and lightly tapped her pouting red lips.,
"Alright, I know you're upset! You can give it a rest now!
", The next moment, a melodious chuckle sounded in his ear,
"Hehe! I'm here to remind of you my existence!
", While speaking, Alicia moved closer to Frederick. She was obedient and had a sweet look. She couldn't let anyone else flirt with him; she had to make sure of that personally!
"Hubby, why did she talk to you? Does she still have you in her mind?
" Why was she so hard to get rid of? Alas, Alicia couldn't even say anything about their interaction just now!
"She just wanted to sell me some information! It's nothing shocking!
