At nine o'clock in the morning, Alessia arrived at the entrance of the welfare institute.
For events like this, attended by celebrities and various business elites, getting inside was not an easy task.
Fortunately, after receiving the email, Alessia had contacted the vice president of the welfare institute and initiated a discussion about donations.
The person who came to pick her up was a staff member from the welfare institute.
"Miss La Rosa, thank you for your donation. The event starts at 11 o'clock. Would you like to take a look at the children's dormitories and dining halls?"
With no activity yet from Z's side, it was better to familiarize herself with the environment than to passively wait.
Alessia nodded and handed the prepared donation box to the staff member.
The staff member, who had been informed last minute abou
It was already eleven o'clock, but Z still hadn't sent any emails. Alessia decided to go to the event venue to take a look. Z was crafty; maybe he was already at the welfare institute, hiding somewhere. Perhaps by going to the event venue, she could discover some clues about him. Anyway, as long as she kept a low profile and didn't approach Dominic, there shouldn't be any problems. When Alessia arrived at the event venue, most of the seats were already occupied, but she didn't see Dominic anywhere. Comparing the seat card, she found her seat in the middle of the third row, quite eye-catching. She looked around. Apart from her seat, there were only a few rows ahead still empty. After weighing her options, she decided to sit down. As soon as Alessia sat down, she heard people behind her discussing. "Who
After the female host finished speaking, she and the male host stepped aside, and two workers in white suits pushed a mannequin covered in white cloth onto the stage. The white cloth was pulled away, revealing a mannequin dressed in a black gown. The gown was simple in design but unique, with countless black feathers wrapping around the bodice and cascading down, with a crystal pendant hanging from the end, forming a Y shape. Overall, it looked like a proud black swan. "This is the work of Designer Al, the first gown she designed after establishing her studio." "I heard that the royal family of Country M bought it at a high price, but Al was unwilling to sell." There were also many wealthy ladies and socialites present, and as soon as the gown appeared, someone shouted out its name. Alessia pursed her lips. This gown was som
The female host, as usual, began with some customary words before glancing at the cue card in her hand. However, when she saw the name of the performer, she paused momentarily. But she quickly dismissed any doubts, knowing that the performance list had been thoroughly checked and printed out. So, she proceeded to announce according to the script. "We are all brave children, even if we walk alone in the darkness, we never give up. Now, please give a round of applause for Miss Alessia La Rosa, as she brings us the song 'Dark Walker.'" As the host finished her words, another beam of white spotlight shone down. Dominic, who had been expressionless throughout the event, had his pupils constrict as he heard the name announced by the female host. He suddenly turned his head. He saw the white spotlight shining on the third row, where Chiara La Rosa had been seated just moments
"This won't work!" Alessia refused; she still needed to stay here to find her son. She knew Dominic was domineering, but she hadn't expected him to be this domineering. It seemed the conversation couldn't continue like this. Alessia straightened her body, ignoring Dominic's restraint, and pushed his hand away. Dominic's gaze turned cold, and he grabbed Alessia's wrist in return. Unexpectedly, Alessia was just playing a distraction. A cunning gleam flashed in her eyes as she swiftly kneed him, aiming for his most vulnerable spot. Dominic was about to be injured, but at a critical moment, a coldness flickered in his eyes. He suddenly sidestepped and grabbed Alessia's knee that was causing trouble. With her knee grabbed, Alessia could only use her strength to push upward. However, her move was still evaded by Dominic. Both side
Dominic walked ahead, taking big strides. Bianca could only follow at a distance. The two of them left the building where the archive room was located, crossed a small path, and arrived at the main road. Suddenly, Dominic turned around. Bianca also stopped in her tracks. "Where's Christopher?" Dominic's eyes were sharp as an eagle's. Bianca was taken aback, only then did she remember her nephew, whom she had forgotten again. The big boss was obviously in a bad mood, she was dancing on the edge of a knife. Panicking, Bianca quickly took out her phone and called Christopher, luckily this time Christopher answered the call quickly. Bianca breathed a sigh of relief, listening to her nephew's cool voice coming through the phone. "At the entrance of the orphanage
The man in front of her wore a blue duckbill cap and a black mask covering his face, revealing only a pair of eyes. As soon as the man dragged her behind the big tree, he sneakily looked around, as if afraid of being discovered. Alessia remained composed, observing the man in front of her. She had planned to leave the event venue and figure out how to shake off Dominic before finding Dylan Frost. But unexpectedly, before she could even find him, he showed up. At this moment, it seemed that Dylan had finally finished observing the situation. After he let out a long sigh, he removed the mask from his face and spoke with lingering fear. "Sis, how did you provoke Dominic? He has arranged people at both the main gate and the back gate, waiting for you to fall into his trap. Luckily, I found you beforehand." Alessia wasn't surpris
"Mr. Carter, we've arrived!"The black Mercedes stopped downstairs at the Carter Building, and the driver turned around respectfully.Dominic lowered his gaze, casting a glance at Christian sleeping soundly in his arms.He had some urgent matters to attend to at the company, so he had the driver bring him here first.Seeing this, Bianca immediately reached out to hug, only to hear Christian mutter with closed eyes, "Mommy."Bianca's hand froze, feeling the temperature in the car drop several degrees.Feeling apprehensive, Bianca continued to embrace her, only to see the little one in her brother's arms suddenly cling tighter to his neck, cuddling and cooing."Mommy, don't leave me..."Now Bianca didn't dare to move at all.Dominic furrowed his brows.It seemed that the woman h
Alessia raised her head to see Sisca in a chiffon dress, along with Dominic, whose face remained impassive, and several other people, presumably all coming out from the private rooms. Trouble! Alessia furrowed her brow, only to find Dylan, who had always been obedient, now speaking up with impatience. "Sisca, did you forget to brush your teeth when you got up? Or did you forget to bring your ears when you left the house? Where did you hear that my singing was filled with tender emotions?" Dylan's impolite words caught Sisca off guard, her face turning pale. But she came out here precisely to cause trouble. So what if her photo was deleted? She could still find a way for Dominic to see it. Suppressing her anger, Sisca glanced at Alessia with ill intentions, pretending to be innocent as she spoke. "Dylan, why are you so angry?
