Claim Adamâs irritation only grew stronger at Wilsonâs words, Hah, Wilson wanted to visit his beloved sister again? He was going to beat the other man up so badly later he wasnât going to be able to even stand!
Adam sneered coldly.
âAll of you escort Yvette home while I deal with him!â he commanded his men.
âAye, captain!â
Meanwhile, Alice was examining her injuries at the Robertson Mansion. She pulled a mirror out of her pocket and examined her purpling bruise. The hatred in her heart continued to grow.
âOuch⦠that bitch Yvette certainly didnât pull any punches!â
It was a good thing that she had taken advantage of the chaos and slipped away while nobody was paying attention to her. Otherwise, her fate would have been horrible.
Thinking about everything that had happened just now still terrified her. At the same time, she felt incredibly confused.
Wilson had moved to help the Robertson family the moment Victoria asked him to. Logically, he wouldnât have let Yvette get off scotâfree after seeing her cause Alice to get hurt.
But just why had he been so protective of that bitch Yvette just now?
âAlice, youâre back!â
Seeing Alice standing at the entrance, Molly greeted her warmly. There was no trace of the disgust from before.
âMy daughter is amazing! To think you managed to convince the Quinns to invest in our family!
Weâre saved!â
In the face of Mollyâs complete change in attitude, Alice immediately shoved the incident with Yvette to the back of her mind. Her ego was skyâhigh. She didnât mention a word about Victoriaâs contribution and instead claimed all the credit for herself.
âMom, now you and dad wonât force me to marry Mr. Luiz anymore, right?â
Molly was all smiles. âOf course we wonât! Youâre our familyâs savior! You can tell me anything you want, Alice. Iâll get you anything you want!â she declared.
Aliceâs face was filled with greed. âMom, I want Chanelâs latest fashion!â
She would wear the trendiest clothes and put on the nicest makeup. All so that she could show that bitch Yvette up!
Molly immediately hesitated. âAh, well⦠the prices for Chanelâs latest clothing has been hiked up to unreasonable prices! They would cost a lot to buy!â
âI donât care! Chanelâs latest fashion is what I want!â Alice insisted. âDidnât you just say youâd get me anything I want? Iâve even gotten the Quinns to invest in our family! I deserve a huge reward for such a great feat, Mom!â
That bitch Yvette already had those clothes. She wasnât about to lose to her!
âAlright. Iâll buy them for you, Alice!â
Molly had no choice. She could only place an immediate order via phone call and reluctantly transfer the money.
âMom, you treat me so well!â
Alice was elated just thinking about the fact that the Chanel shop assistants would be sending their latest fashion over very soon.
âHahaâ¦â Mollyâs smile was forced. Her heart was still aching at the huge sum of money she had just transferred away. âAs long as you like it!â
âMr. Robertson has returnedâ¦â
Alice ran out excitedly at the household staffâs announcement.
âDad, youâre back! I got the Quinns to invest in our family!â she rambled. âNow that weâre under the protection of the Quinns, even the Murrays canât do anything to us! Iâm our familyâs savior, Dad!
How are you planning to reward-â
Before Alice could finish her smug speech, Frank slapped her heavily across the face. âYou still have the nerve to claim yourself as our savior? Youâre no savior, youâre a jinx! Our family is doomed because of you! I shouldâve strangled you to death as a baby!â
âAhâ¦â Alice was disoriented by the slap, but she pushed through the pain.
âWhatâs wrong, Dad?â she asked quickly, âHavenât the Quinns invested in us? Why did you hit meâ¦â
Frank looked at her with hatred in his eyes. âThe Quinns did indeed invest in us, but KW Corporation stepped in. They mentioned you by name, making it clear that you offended someone you never should have offended!â
KW Corporation was one of the top four global financial conglomerates. They even had the top global organization Shadow Alliance backing them!
The Quinns would never choose to get on the Shadow Allianceâs bad side just for the Robertsonsâ
sake! The Robertson family was doomed, completely doomed!
