Looking at the overturned bottles and cans on the ground, Alicia could imagine how intense the situation was earlier. She helped her sit aside as she had noticed her aunt's pale face and slightly messy hair..

"She's gone far! They're so awful!

" Alicia said angrily., While she held her hand, Freya patted her hand lightly.

"Let's forget about it. I'm used to it anyways! Let's close up early today! I'll clean it up first!

",

"Fine...

", After she helped to close the store, Alicia poured a glass of water for Freya and quickly packed up everything else before sitting down beside her.

"Aunt Freya, don't take it personally. Bad people will always suffer heaven's wrath! There will be retribution for us one day when she gets old!

", She comforted her and spoke.,

"These people are picking on the weak yet they fear the strong! Why don't you divorce him? Why do you have to be involved with these scumbags? Since Frederick is famous, I can ask him for help. Even if it's a lawsuit, we'll get our justice! He's guilty and I won't let them go this easily. Isn't it better for you to be compensated now than being harassed from time to time?

",

"You're only delaying the inevitable if you keep this up!

",

"Ah, it isn't as simple as you think it is! Even if I lodge a lawsuit, the judge will take a while before coming to a decision! It doesn't matter if he's guilty. He's a celebrity, a wealthy person. Moreover, all the assets under his name may not actually belong to him. Even if it's at least ten years, I'll still be a full-time housewife. How much can I even earn? Ally, it's not that I'm greedy or anything, but what can I gain from him? I'm just not satisfied! If I don't leave, then I'll be suffering, but if I do, then I'll be suffering much worse! A person of my age is prone to illness. What else can I do other than be dead weight? I'd rather remain under the Forbes family's name until I die!

" A tremendous surge of power was suddenly transmitted from her hand. Alicia inadvertently caught a hint of deep grief and hatred in Freya's eyes., It was true; their marriage lasted for more than 20 years! All of her youth and beauty was spent on him... She was willing to suffer so much, so she must've loved Sebastian deeply! How could she hate him? How could it be so easy to let go..., Otherwise, she would've chosen to live her own life!,

"She's not even fifty years old yet. She even took good care of herself. She still has a long time before she leaves. Besides, she still has a lot of admirers even till today!

" Alicia thought to herself. She really wanted to change her mind, but in the end, Alicia merely kept quiet., Alicia was bothered for a few days because of this matter, especially every time she saw the news on Sebastian's concert. The lights, the fans, the sponsorships... It wasn't important if it was real or fake. He simply looked like he was a winner under his spotlight. She was infuriated by him., Her aunt must've been even sadder knowing that she kept this thought in her mind. In the next few days, she kept calling. No matter if it was morning or night, Alicia had gone to Lovely Scent. When she got off work, she recalled that her aunt loved eating buns. She intentionally waited in line to get one for her aunt who was at the store. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw a sign hanging on the door.,

"What's going on?

",

"It shouldn't be closed at a time like this on the weekend... It's the best time for business. If that's the case, then why is there a sign hanging here? Did that woman appear again?

", Alicia thought for a while, then trotted ahead. As expected, there were shards of glass all over the floor as soon as she opened the door.,

"Sorry, we're... Ally, is that you? Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come here everyday? Aren't you busy?

", As she spoke, Freya quickly poured out the trash and curled her hand back into her sleeve.,

"Aunt Freya, did that b*tch trouble you again?! She's such a bully! I'll get back at her for this!

" After putting down the convenience bag, Alicia took out her cell phone hastily and was about to call Frederick. Freya walked up to her and immediately stopped her.

"Ally! Stop it! I don't want any more trouble! They've already paid me!

", Bitterness seeped out from her words. Freya's eyes swept over to the pile of money on the table and said,

"I'm done! I'm not going to make this situation any worse than it is! If I did anything more, I'd only be more furious!

",

"Did she take you for granted? I'll hire someone to bring her place down and cause trouble for her. I'll let her know what true trouble is! Yeah! Why didn't I think of that? Aunt Freya, I'll inform Frederick's subordinates to be your bodyguards in the future, and then I'll stir trouble up for them!

", Frederick was more well- connected than Sebastian was. Besides that, he was more powerful than the local tyrants too!,

"Sebastian is just like a cockroach! He comes out and picks a fight every now and then. Is he planning on driving you to death?

", Fuming with rage, Alicia was reluctant to give up. She had to inform Frederick about it, to seek his help. However, Freya had snatched her phone away from her. When Alicia inadvertently looked down, she saw some blood dripping out of her hand. She grabbed Freya's hand.,

"Aunt Freya, are you hurt? What's wrong with your hand?

" She asked., She rolled up her sleeves and saw a deep cut on the back of her hand. At this moment, blood was still spurting out.

"Did she do this to you?

",

"I'm fine, I'm fine. I accidentally cut myself!

",

"Aunt Freya!

", Alicia scolded. She dragged her to a clean corner of the store and took out the first aid kit. She then bandaged the wound for her, but she was so angry that tears rolled down her cheeks.,

"Tell me the truth, Aunt Freya. What, did they want from you? We can't allow them to keep this up anymore! They're going too far! You're going to end up like a cold dead mouse! They're not giving us any other options. Why should we still ill tolerate them? I'll inform Frederick later. He'll have some ideas about how to, handle the situation!

" ,

"No! Please don't!

", She pulled Alicia back as she stood up. Freya was anxious.

"I'm begging you! Please don't let anyone know about our relationship!

",

"Why shouldn't I?

",

"Ally! I don't want to get you into, trouble! Beggars can never go broke anyways. It doesn't matter to me, but some people have a guilty conscience for money! To tell you the truth, there's another reason why we aren't divorce yet! In the past, bought some insurance with, lovel, Sebastian. For many years, O continuously paid for it. It must be worth more than ten million dollars now. This insurance needs both sides to reach the age of 50 before we can get it at the same time. In other words, he's no doubt a few years older than me, but he is only allowed to claim the dividends when I reach the age of 50. Each of us can have a million dollars per year!

" , While grabbing Alicia's hand, Freya's eagerness couldn't be concealed.,

"And this contract aims to guarantee the rights of the couple. The one who initiates the divorce will imply that he or she will voluntarily give up all the money. Moreover, the money will all be given to the other party. Now, it's worth at least 50 million As long as I maintain the marriage, all the profits will be equally divided at the age of 50 under our name. He's not eligible to take the money by himself. Similarly, if we're still together in 30 years, the money will be half-sided when we pay it back! Back then when we signed the agreement, he wasn't as popular as he is now, and he still cared for me. We both did this for the peace of our minds!

" ,

"The reason why he had many mistresses who kept visiting us to disturb us and show off, was so that you'd propose a divorce and then he could monopolize the money?
