Bianca cleared her throat again, squinting her eyes, and proudly asked, "Can I pick a few?"
"As you wish," Alessia said, curling her lips.
Bianca's personality hadn't changed a bit. She was still a paper tiger who liked to put on airs, not really scary, but rather cute.
After hearing Alessia's words, Bianca couldn't pretend to be calm anymore. She happily clenched her fists.
"Just as I please? Then I'll pick a few!" Indeed, this Al was as generous as she liked.
Bianca, excited, obviously forgot about the need to discount her fondness for Al.
Eleanor stood obediently aside, and with a few words from Alessia, she almost completely won over the hypocritical Bianca.
She blinked and cleverly stepped forward, grabbing Bianca's hand and leading her into the house. "Auntie, I know where Mommy's dresses are. Let me take you to pick t
At that moment, David walked in. Dominic spoke, "How is Christopher?" David replied, "Young Master is still locked in his room." Dominic sat up straight, pinching the bridge of his nose again, rare traces of self-doubt appearing. "Do you think I've done something wrong?" David paused, having just delivered the information about the former CEO's wife living across the street. After some thought, David spoke, "Mr. Carter, actually, you've been giving Miss La Rosa chances all along. When Young Master's attitude improved, you gave up on asking Miss La Rosa to leave Toronto. You've been waiting for Miss La Rosa to speak up. Unexpectedly, Miss La Rosa, thinking herself clever, moved to the opposite side and secretly contacted Young Master." Different faces in public and private settings. Encountering the CEO's bottom line,
Bianca pouted, "So, you want to use and discard me? Too bad, I've changed my mind, I don't want to leave now." This fits Miss Bianca's character very well, Alessia raised an eyebrow and glanced at Riley. Riley's gentle expression froze for a moment, the lake-like eyes also showed some changes in expression, but he quickly returned to normal, his voice still gentle, "As long as it doesn't delay your time." Some people are gentle on the surface, some are gentle at heart. Alessia felt that Riley belonged to the latter category; perhaps gentleness was just his protective color. Such people, few could penetrate their hearts, but once someone did, they would be completely open. Some people may seem willful and capricious, perhaps this is also their protective color. "You’re indeed very boring. Who wants to stay here anyway?"
"Miss La Rosa, this is a hospital. If there's a problem, find a doctor. You must not interfere!" Sisca pretended to advise, her hand reaching out to disturb Alessia. Unfortunately, before she could touch Alessia, Alessia had already seen through everything. She lifted her eyes, glaring sharply. That sharp gaze was like invisible ice blades, piercing Sisca's heart with a chill. Caught off guard, Sisca was frightened and stumbled, sitting on the ground. Finally, someone noticed the commotion, and people began to gather around. "What happened to this lady?" a nurse approached to inquire. Alessia knelt on the ground, not raising her head, continuing her actions methodically, giving instructions. "After a preliminary examination, the patient seems to have experienced cardiac arrest due to a psychological condition. Go get someone
Sisca couldn't help but smirk inwardly. Her insinuations were clear enough, and Bianca was known for her hatred towards evil. Sisca thought, according to Bianca's personality, she should immediately show her true colors to Alessia. However, the next moment, Bianca disdainfully opened her hand, questioning aggressively, "Are you implying that my sister-in-law pushed Miss Ramirez down the stairs? If you have something to say, just say it directly. Stop beating around the bush. Miss Ramirez is crazy, but my sister-in-law isn't. They have no grievances or disputes. Why would she push her?" Bianca's blunt and arrogant words were a bit over the top. Not only did Sisca's face turn ugly, but Nolan's face also darkened. Nolan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he forgot to suppress his emotions for a moment, angrily questioning, "Who are you calling crazy?" Sisca's
VIP private room Ava sat upright on the pristine white hospital bed, while Alessia stood at the bedside. At this moment, there were only the two of them in the room. Ava looked at Alessia's face with satisfaction. "Luckily, you haven't changed much over the years, so I could recognize you at a glance." "You've seen me?" Alessia asked. Ava shook her head, feeling sorry for herself. "It's because I didn't do well, so you refused to see me. Director Jonas from the welfare home took pity on me, so she gave me a photo of you. Don't blame her." Alessia frowned at the woman who claimed to be her mother, her voice devoid of emotion as she asked calmly, "Since you haven't seen me, how can you be sure that I'm your daughter
An hour later, the car stopped at the Carter family's old mansion. Dominic got out of the car and walked towards the house, asking the butler as he did so, "What's the situation at home?" The old butler followed behind, respectfully saying, "The old lady went to pray. Madam Carter hasn't been going out much, but a few orchids arrived a few days ago, which Madam really likes. Miss Carter has gone to attend a banquet, and Young Master is upstairs." "Hmm." Dominic replied succinctly, indicating he had understood. The Carter family mansion was very large, with several buildings including a garden, but according to the butler, there weren't many people living inside, and the situation seemed to be declining. Dominic's black handmade leather shoes stepped on the golden silk carpet as he walked forward. He exuded a compelling pressure with his resolute and noble face, showing
Study room. After taking a phone call, David reported, "Mr. Carter, Miss La Rosa has already left." Dominic paused in flipping through documents, then asked without any emotional fluctuations, "What did Dr. Ram say?" Dr. Ram was Christopher's psychiatrist. David replied, "Dr. Ram is out of town today, so he might be late coming over." Dominic nodded in acknowledgment. Seeing that woman kneeling on the ground and calmly administering first aid at the hospital today reminded him of Bianca's words. He began to waver. Perhaps Alessia's abandonment of Chris in the past was truly just an accident. After all, he had never really understood her. But now, she retreated at the slightest obstacle. If she truly cared about Chris, why couldn't she persevere even for half an hou
Bianca placed one of the cups in front of Alessia. "Sis-in-law, this one was freshly squeezed by me," she said, then placed the other cup in front of Christopher. Alessia placed her chess pieces on the board and casually picked up the juice from the table. Bianca held her breath, nervously watching Alessia's actions. However, just as Alessia's lips touched the rim of the cup, she put the juice back down. Bianca felt deflated. "What's wrong?" Alessia noticed Bianca's odd behavior. Bianca forced a smile. "Nothing, it's just that this juice was freshly squeezed. The earlier you drink it, the better it tastes." Alessia nodded and resumed playing. She picked up a piece and focused on the board. Bianca felt like tearing her hair out in frustration, wanting to shove the cup directly into her sister-in-law's hand.
