Alicia would not deny the fact that he would be responsible for his child., But, Frederick only regarded her as a plaything. A scheming plaything, that is. However, he did have an excuse to fool around with her legally.,

"How did I end up having a good impression of him?

" Alicia wondered., Suddenly, Alicia felt that she was not only pathetic but also very cheap!, Therefore, she kept eating without saying any words during this meal., Frederick didn't know what was on her mind. He was thinking about the same matter, but he was wondering who was the one giving her the drug., After that day, Alicia's perception of Frederick changed from the bottom of her heart. The relationship between them became subtly different. One cared more, while the other had her guards up., Frederick was in the President's office at Soaver International rubbing his aching temples while looking through some documents., There was a knock on the door. Frederick straightened up and said,

"Come in!

", Seeing that it was Chet, he instantly leaned back in his chair.,

"What happened? Are you very tired?

" Chet asked., Walking forward, Chet handed him a document file and a car key.

"I have gotten the car. I'll send it to your home. It's a white Bentley!

",

"Okay!

" Frederick nodded and raised his hand. He signaled Chet to sit down.,

"What can I do for you?

" Chet asked. It seemed that he was not going to ask about the car!,

"The plan can be carried out now! Let's start with Hallie!

" Frederick said., Chet looked up and was obviously shocked.

"Have you made up your mind?

"., For so many years, Frederick hadn't had a head-on confrontation. Why did he suddenly make up his mind? Besides, she was never on their list. What did they do to provoke him like this?

"I'm just taking back what belongs to me!

" Frederick replied., He got up and went to pour two cups of coffee.,

"There should be some shares in Hallie's hands! Get someone to check her family background! This woman is snobbish and short-sighted! She likes rich and powerful men, and she likes to play around when she has someone powerful backing her up! She's an eyesore!

" Frederick continued saying., He didn't want to argue with her at first. However, she had bullied one of his!, Hearing this, Chet understood what he meant.,

"I got it! I will arrange for a handsome manager who just came back from abroad for her!

",

"Okay!

" Frederick took a sip of coffee and added,

"Do it properly! Remember, this matter has nothing to do with us!

",

"I understand!

" Chet said., It was another busy day. This day, Alicia didn't have to go to the nightclub to dance. She had just handed in a manuscript and had nothing to do instantly. Alicia was then staring blankly at the computer.

"Alicia, we are leaving!

",

"Bye!

" Alicia replied., She waved goodbye to her colleagues one by one. For the first time, she was shrouded in a deep sense of loneliness. Suddenly, she found that in the past three years, except for making money, there was nothing left in her life. Her former only friend, Lindsay, had also stabbed her in the back., In the past, no matter how bad it used to be, she could still go back to her family. She could go back to her home, drink some hot soup that her mother had prepared, and slept soundly at night. But currently, although she still had a home, she couldn't go there. Otherwise, her mother would be worried and start throwing questions at her., Should she go back to that home?, Was Landrum Garden her home?, She didn't want to go back!, She took her time cleaning up the office. Inadvertently, her eyes fell on the back of her slender hand, and she realized that she seemed to, look slimmer.,

"I've lost weight, haven't I?

" she murmured., Her small face, the slightly sharp jaw, and the taut skin... It was what she was familiar with! The corners of her mouth froze halfway as they were lifted.,

"It's really because of the birth control pills!

" she thought., Thinking of this, Alicia was a little disappointed. She didn't want to go back home. She started to hate the night., Carrying her bag, she went out of the door and got on a bus. Then, she got off and went to a small eatery nearby. After having a plate of pasta, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh., She didn't expect that having nothing to do would be a form of torture.,

"Alicia! Did you forget who you used to be? What a tough life it is now! You should just go home!

" she thought to herself., After mocking herself, Alicia went to look for a nearby bus stop. As soon as she crossed the road, a familiar black car suddenly came into her sight.,

"Isn't this... Frederick's car? Why is it here?

" she wondered., Following the direction of the car, she noticed a magnificent hotel down the road.

"No wonder! He must have come here to entertain some clients!

" she thought., She was wondering if she should wait and take a lift back home., Alicia was about to take out her cell phone to ask while wandering and hesitating, but when she looked up, she saw that Frederick had already appeared at the door. Beside him stood a beautiful woman in a white trouser and suit., The woman's straight, black hair was shining under the light. She wore a white jacket and long white trousers. She was tall and slender, with a beautiful and capable look. No one knew what they were talking about, but their behavior was quite intimate., Alicia didn't know why she had to hide. She turned around and ran to the back of a car on the other side of the road., At the door, Frederick patted Kaylee Vives's back to help her calm down, seeing that she was having hiccups.

"Are you all right?

", Shaking her head, the woman couldn't hide the sadness on her face.,

"It's late. I'll call Carson!

" Frederick said., As soon as Frederick turned around, his sleeves were pulled tightly by someone.

"Frederick, if I'm not my brother's sister and if my grandpa didn't do you a favor, you wouldn't even have this meal with me, would you?

", Frederick spun around and looked at his arm, but he didn't push her away in the end.

"You are talking nonsense again. You've drunk too much!

", Kaylee kept shaking her head as she began to feel a little emotional.,

"I know what I'm talking about. I'm not drunk! Frederick, I know that you hate women, except for Danica! But why, why would you rather marry someone than to give me a chance? You clearly know that I've always liked you all these years. I've just been away for a while. Why did you—

", Frederick's expression changed, and his voice instantly chilled to the freezing point.

"Kaylee!

",

"Sure enough, you only care about her! Whenever I mention her, you would get angry. Only she is different!

" Kaylee yelled., Kaylee withdrew her hand and suddenly covered her mouth with her hands. She was in tears and looked as if she was going to sit on the ground. Frederick reached out his hand and held her up., His voice also softened a little.

"Since you know me, don't talk nonsense anymore! Kaylee, I have always treated you as my sister! You are different from the others. I don't want to hurt you, do you understand? You will always be my sister and you will find the person who belongs to you!

", She understood, but she was also sad! Did she not even have the right to be sad just because of her identity? Why did he treat Danica so differently? Why didn't he like any other woman?, Kaylee threw herself into his arms and held him tightly.

"Frederick...

", He pushed her away several times, but he couldn't get rid of her. Frederick could only take out his cell phone and send a message to Carson., On the other side of the road, Alicia stirred as she watched this scene from a distance, not hearing the conversation between them., Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
