Chapter 36

Alice became more snobbish than the pregnant lady and quickly placed six orders on the iPad. Alice chided, “The mission of the Kaur Group department stores is to serve the public, not just VIPs. Since I was here first, I should make the purchase first! As for your VIP status, feel free to ask the CEO of the Kaur Group for special privileges!”

Both were first-time mothers, and Alice did not feel the need to indulge the arrogant lady just because she was pregnant.

“You!” The pregnant lady hissed. The salesperson beside her subtly reminded her. “Madam, she is an actress. It won’t be good for us if she exposes us!”

“An actress?” The pregnant lady sniggered as she placed her hands on her waist and shouted to her husband nearby.

“Darling, come look at this arrogant actress!”

“What actress? Let me see…” The pregnant lady’s husband looked over in surprise. The next moment, his eyes were filled with astonishment.

Although Alice was not wearing heavy makeup, her features were even more dazzling than before. She exuded an unmatched sense of exquisiteness.

“She is no mere actress. She is Ms. Doyle of the Doyle family!” he thought.

“Hubby, why aren’t you saying anything? What’s so scary about an actress?” The pregnant lady rolled her eyes and continued, “She’s only achieved what she has today by selling her body!”

The man snapped out of his daze and scrutinized Alice again to confirm that she was indeed the Alice Doyle he knew. He was filled with complex emotions.

“Alice Doyle, how did you end up being an actress?” The man asked in a conniving tone.

The pregnant lady was taken aback and grabbed her husband’s wrist, asking anxiously, “Honey, is she the promiscuous Alice Doyle of the Doyle family whom you mentioned previously?”

“Yes, that’s her… She slept around as soon as she came of age and contracted diseases. She’s a total disgrace to the Doyle family,” the man sneered.

The pregnant lady exclaimed, “Then those three brats must be her illegitimate children… Why is such a filthy woman still in the entertainment industry? She is shameless!”

Amidst the couple’s mockery and ridicule, Alice recalled who the man was.

He was none other than Drake Holmes of the Holmes household, who lived in the same exclusive neighborhood as Alice’s family. He had pursued her in the past, but the Doyle family rejected him because they considered him to be of lower

status.

Alice did not expect to encounter Drake here.

With the children present, Alice did not want to get physical with Drake, so she ignored them and turned to the salesperson to say, “I’ll make the payment now!”

The salesperson did not want to provoke Drake. She cleared their throat and said the only reason she could come up with. “Miss Doyle, you’re not a VIP.”

The pregnant lady chuckled, “Yes, you’re not a VIP, so stop embarrassing yourself in front of everyone.”

Unlike his wife, Drake said directly, “Darling, Mr. Kaur is inspecting the store today. Let me call him, and we can resolve the issue immediately, okay?”

“Really? That’s great! Let’s get rid of Alice Doyle!” The pregnant lady exclaimed as she caressed her belly. Then, she turned her attention to her unborn children and said delicately, “Our sons need to be surrounded by respectable people… Alice Doyle’s filth is bound to affect their development!”

“Alright, I’ll call Mr. Kaur right away. We have a good relationship!” Drake snickered as he walked towards Alice.

Drake intentionally approached Alice with his back facing his wife and whispered to Alice in a voice inaudible to others. “Sleep with me tonight if you don’t want to embarrass yourself…”

It was at this moment that a slap tore through the air. Sugar Bun suddenly shouted from the stroller and slapped Drake.

Drake Holmes immediately retorted. “You brat, what are you doing? Are you trying to murder me? I’m going to kill you!” Alice’s delicate wrist grabbed Drake’s arm. She stated coldly, “Don’t you dare touch my children!”
