That day, she realized just how busy a president would be. She had never thought that her father would have to deal with so many things every day. She was already tired, even though she had only been president for a few days.
When she remembered there would be a board referendum that day, she became even more distracted.
My father made me the president in his will. But why do I have the impression that I took it from him? Is it because my mother has done so many heinous things? I just couldn’t take it anymore! Alice thought to herself.

It rained for a long time and finally stopped until the next morning. In the morning, Alice met Mr. Moore, her father’s lawyer, for coffee.
Mr. Moore had been a close friend of her father and was a well-known lawyer in Rose City’s legal community. He was an expert in co

“Everybody is talking about it, Alice. And you might get yourself into trouble because of it. So, you better not go to Alicia’s funeral.” George said to Alice over the phone.“Oh, no! I wouldn’t be there if I didn’t know that her funeral was shortly after. Now that I know that, I am certainly attending her funeral.”Alice looked at herself in the mirror and tried to make her black shirt and black pants look neater. She then tied her long hair into a ponytail.She heard George sigh through her wireless earphones. He said, “Okay. I have got stuff to do right now, so I might be late. Well, I will be there anyway.”“All right, drive safely.”Alice said. She then hung up the phone.Everyone said that Alicia’s death was an accident. However, after asking several board members who were present at that time, Alice learned that Alicia had jumped off the building on her own. They all said

Alice dialed Flora’s number after George and Rene had left. She asked, “Hello, Auntie Flora. Where is Eliana?”“We had just finished eating our launch. And Ethan is trying to let her take a nap.” Flora replied, and her voice sounded much softer than before.“What? Uncle Ethan? Doesn’t he have to work?”“Oh, I almost forget to tell you that your uncle retired last week. He travelled to London this week for a jazz event. But he returned as soon as he heard Eliana was coming to stay with us. I knew he wasn’t good at getting along with children, so I told him to let me take care of Eliana. But he said he was sure he could make it. What a fool!”Alice laughed and said, “Uncle Ethan just retired, so he probably looking for something to keep himself busy.”Flora also laughed and said, “You are right. By the way, there is a family gathering this Friday night. There won&rsqu

The car crawled along the busy road like a bug because of the heavy traffic. However, just as the cars in front of them were driving away and they could move forward, Alice suddenly shouted the words. Sam, the driver, paused at Alice’s words. “What?” he asked. Sam wasn’t the only one who didn’t react, because everyone in the car froze. Flora was the first one to react. She grabbed Alice’s arm as quickly as she could and said again, “What are you up to? You already said you weren’t going to get engaged in this!” Alice frowned and then looked out the window again. She said anxiously, “Aunt Flora, someone is going to jump off the building!” Alice didn’t do this because she was overwhelmed with compassion, but because she felt that she could empathize with them as human beings. She believed that everyone’s life was valuable. As the light was ready to turn green, Sam gave them a puzzled look. After Ethan told him to stop, he pulled over. Flora said unhappily, “Alice, do you think you

Nobody expected that the man would say something like that. Moreover, even the police officers around him didn’t know how to respond. He didn’t cause anyone or himself any harm, and all he did was just shout a few words. However, the crowd became agitated almost immediately. Then, nearly everyone dashed to Alice like a maniac. “I just saw her driver’s license! Her name is Alice Brown, and she is Martin’s second daughter! You must get her and make her pay for you.” The man deliberately continued shouting, trying to make things worse. Then, things became very turbulent. Alice stood frozen in the crowd. Although the young police officer beside her shielded her in his arms, he was unable to prevent her from being dragged and kicked by the attackers. “Get her! Make her give our money back.” “Give us our money!” All the workers yelled at Alice like lunatics. Just as the police there called the police station for backup, there was a line of black Porsche parked neatly on the street. T

“Fortunately, she isn’t seriously hurt,” Henry instantly explained after observing Zayden’s annoyed expression. “She shouldn’t bite off more than she can chew,” Zayden grumbled as he remarked on Alice’s actions. He stood up after closing the folder. “Which hospital is she in?” he said as he put on his jacket. “Huh?” Henry then was puzzled. He felt regretful right away and wished he could go back in time and beat himself up. I shouldn’t have been a blabbermouth! I am so screwed, he thought to himself. “I was just asking which hospital she is in.” Zayden looked at Henry, then impatiently repeated his question. Henry stammered for a few seconds, and then replied, “She is… well, she is not in any hospital.” “What? So, where has she gone?” “Well, Damian took her away.” Hearing that Zayden looked even more irritated. When Henry saw Zayden’s sullen expression, he felt terrified. He then asked, “Mr. Collins, are we still going out?” “Of course.” Zayden said, his fists clenching. He

At that moment, the pianist was still playing the piano. Zayden’s furious questioning voice was drowned out by the wonderful sound of the piano. However, the people around that table all looked surprised. Damian was the first to react to what was going on. Then, he immediately asked a waitress to take Eliana away. Alice then regained her composure. His astonished expression quickly changed to indifference when she saw the woman standing behind Zayden. “This is none of your business, Zayden.” she answered indifferently. Zayden gave Damian a harsh stare and stated, “Is it true that you two are just friends? But why do you look like a family to me?” He recalled the last time he had seen Alice, and he watched Damian leave her house. Alice was able to defend herself eloquently during their fight. Even though Zayden had seen them together, she insisted that Damian was simply a friend. Zayden began to doubt if the information he had been given was correct because of her righteous attit

Zayden then felt a shiver running down his spine, and his heart ached. The last trace of tenderness in his heart disappeared. He looked at Alice’s expressionless face and said word by word. “Do you dare to say it again?” “Yes. And I won’t change my mind. If you hurt Damian, you should came at me as well.” Alice said in a decisive tone. She gazed at him with disdain as if she had been deeply disappointed in him. Then, she even began to doubt herself, I was so stupid that I fell in love with you, Zayden. It turns out that you are just a narrow-minded pretentious man and would gloat over your wealthy family. You even think that you can just trample other people’s lives as you like! Zayden’s fists were clenched more tightly, and his bone made a cracking sound. He said those words with his gritted teeth, “Are you willing to your life on the line for one another? What a touching friendship you have! Alice, you were lying to me before!” Alice frowned but didn’t explain anything. Howeve

Alice’s heart skipped a beat after hearing Trevor’s words. “Why did you ask that?” She looked at him warily and asked. Trevor appeared to be at ease. He answered, “To be honest, since I am taking care of Maggie at home every day, I don’t know what had happened recently. I just heard that you and Zayden broke up the other day. He told me that you are still married. Is it true, Alice?” Alice exhaled a sigh of relief as she heard this. “That’s right,” she replied honestly, frowning. “Bravo!” Trevor gave Alice a thumbs up, much to Alice’s amazement. He said, “Alice, you are the only woman in this world that made Zayden became your lover willingly. Respect!” His “compliment” did not sit well with Alice. She expressed her displeasure by saying, “That’s so ridiculous! To tell you the truth, I married Damian just to get a green card. That way, Eliana and I could live in the U.S legally. I needed a green card, and Damian needed the money. As a result, we made a deal.” Trevor rubbed his c
