Wasn’t that sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth?
Alright, Maxwell is not a sheep, but in short, she won't allow this kind of thing to happen.Her head wandered as she walked. A few trumpets from behind frightened her. She hurried to the sidewalk or she would have blocked the way.However, the road was so wide that she had already walked on the sidewalk. The horns behind her were still honking. What was going on?Alice turned around unhappily and saw that the car behind her was so familiar under the street lamps. Although the handsome face of the man in the car could not be clearly seen through the windscreen, but ———The black car stopped beside her and Alice hissed. She was right, it was actually Maxwell.Surprisingly, he appeared here. Or was it at this time, or was it that he hadn't left since just now?Thinking of this possibility, Alice was dumbfounded.Another hurried trumpet sound interrupted her meditation. WitThere was a black car not far away from them. Alice knew that it was someone who had been following them. So when she saw that Maxwell was about to get off the car, she asked, "I am thirsty. I'll go buy some water with you."Maxwell thought for a moment and didn't object. That meant that he agreed. Alice immediately followed him.After entering the convenience store, Alice went to the shelf beside her to get a bottle of water. Maxwell did not go anywhere, but stood in front of the shelf beside the counter, not knowing what to buy.She came over with water to pay the bill, wanting to see what he had bought. It didn't matter if she didn't look at it, but she was shocked when she saw it.She stared at the thing in front of Maxwell in shock. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground. However, Maxwell still asked her for her opinion at this time, "Which one do you think is better?""How would I know? It's not for me!""Why not? Don
Unfortunately, Sierra was not in the office. Alice asked the other teachers and knew that there was no class for Sierra today, so he did not come to school.That was a waste of time. Was he at home?Alice went downstairs and was considering whether he should go to Sierra's house when his phone rang. Alice's voice came from the phone, "Alice, where are you?""Is something the matter?" Hearing Giselle's voice, Alice's attitude became cold."May I ask where you are?""Why should I tell you?""Alright." Giselle's attitude was cold. "Then let me tell you, I'm downstairs in your school dormitory. If you don't show up in ten minutes, I guarantee you'll regret it!"Giselle was downstairs in her dormitory? Alice immediately frowned. Fortunately, she had just returned. Otherwise, how could she be able to make it in ten minutes?She was in the middle school district, running towards her dormitory in the west campus, and it took her about ten minutes to g
Unexpectedly, before Barry could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Alice's frustration, “A small sum of money, you said it was a small sum of money. Then have you ever thought about why you gave her money? Who is she? Are you an idiot? Are you a fool to let her exploit you like this? Did she often ask you for money during this period of time?" Alice's tone was fast and ruthless. She could tell that she was really angry.However, Barry was unable to answer any of these questions. His sight landed on Alice, but Alice did not notice what kind of emotions were hidden inside. She felt angry, extremely angry, and annoyed, "I am truly enraged to death by you!" Do you know that she is insatiable? Once you give her a little bit of money, she will pester you like a vampire. I told you last time not to give her money. Why don't you just listen? "Barry was still tugging at Alice's arm. They were extremely close, and Alice was on the verge of going berserk. She was not
Under the sunlight, Barry's warm sight became anxious. Alice looked at him calmly. Then, she forcefully broke free from Barry's grip and walked towards Maxwell, obediently standing beside him.Barry's gaze gradually became complicated as Alice walked. He looked at Alice with grief and frustration, as if he was too angry to say anything, "Alice, do you still have any sense of shame?"Alice bit her lip and dodged Barry's gaze. However, her heart was also in turmoil. What was shameful about it? However, they had obtained their marriage certificates. Could it be that she still had to hook up with other men in front of her husband to be shameful?She silently thought about whether to explain or not, and then she heard Maxwell's deep voice, "Shame? I want to ask Barry, you are a teacher. And you think about the other one's wife all the time. Is this your courtesy, justice, and shame? Do you see it clearly?" After saying that, Maxwell raised Alice's slender wrist. Her clothe
On both sides of the long overpass, lights flickered.Pedestrians hurried across the bridge, except for one woman with long hair cascading over her shoulders, standing by the railing. Several empty beer bottles lay scattered at her feet in disarray. No one stopped to care about her. The drizzling rain soaked her clothes, clinging to her body, cold to the bone. Her mind involuntarily replayed the words she’d heard that afternoon: "I’m sorry, Alice. I had no choice. Once I secure my position, I’ll divorce Kate. You have to believe me!"‘huh, Divorce...’ "Go to hell, you liar! Ethan, why don’t you just drop dead? Anyone who believes you is a damn fool!" She flung the beer bottles down the bridge in a frenzy, ignoring the screeching tires, honking horns, and curses below. Choking on the fine mist of rain, Alice half-crawled, half-stumbled off the bridge and crossed the road.“Screech—” The brakes of a car shattered the silence, splashing water everywhere.Alice’s unsteady figure was throw
The doctor pressed on Alice’s abdomen and checked her pulse before calling in other doctors for a consultation. Behind her, Riley and Elena grew increasingly worried. Even Alice herself was startled by the commotion. Was it possible she had some strange illness?“Doctor, what’s wrong with me?” she asked.“You’ll need to come with us to the ultrasound room.”What? Was it really a tumor in her belly?Ten minutes later, the examination results came back, and her homeroom teacher was notified to come as well.“What? Pregnant? How is that possible?” Staring at the freshly printed ultrasound report, Alice felt her vision darken, nearly fainting.Her teacher, Mr. Howard, immediately spoke up: “Doctor, you shouldn’t say such things. She’s just a student.”“The ultrasound report is conclusive. It’s a solid fact. You need to notify her parents to find out what’s going on. Girls these days…” It felt like a thunderclap to Alice, who stood frozen in place, her face as pale as paper.---Robert wa
Alice was unaware of what happened next, but as soon as she sat in the car, she heard Michelle's piercing scream behind her. Was she really hitting herself?For some reason, the fear in Alice’s heart seemed to fade a bit, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. It was the first time in years that someone stood up for her...The man glanced at her smile through the rearview mirror and calmly instructed the driver to start the car. The tinted windows made the outside world look dim. As she relaxed, pain spread through her limbs, making her face increasingly pale, but she didn’t dare to sleep. After all, she couldn’t tell if he was a friend or a foe.“Miss Howell, if you’re tired, feel free to sleep. I’ll wake you when we arrive,” he said.Nodding slightly, she murmured a thank you and leaned against the car window, drifting off. She was exhausted—so tired. Her limbs felt unresponsive, and in her dream, she was in a soothing hot spring, the warmth melting away her fatigue. She wished she
On the top floor, in a suite decorated in a luxurious vintage style, a man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Dressed in a gray suit paired with a black vest and trousers, his silhouette was tall and slim, reflecting a striking profile in the glass—his sharp features and a strong jawline were vaguely visible. He held a transparent goblet in one hand, the other tucked into his pocket. From any angle, he exuded an undeniable charm, his presence as noble as it was intimidating.His expression wasn’t cold; rather, it conveyed an inscrutable depth.A knock echoed from outside the door.“Come in.”A shadow entered, placing a medical report on the mahogany desk. “Sir, the report is ready.”“And the woman?” His voice, deep and melodic like a cello, showed no hint of anger.“She has been arranged to rest and will be sent out tomorrow morning.”With a light grunt, he didn’t turn around. “What does the report say?”After a brief pause, Raven replied, “The doctor said she’s in early

After a few seconds of silence, Robert said directly: "Alice, no one else in Marcus's family knew about your marriage to Maxwell except me and your grandfather."Oh, that was it. No wonder Michelle and Giselle reacted so much at the time. But it was pretty good. She nodded and smiled sweetly: "Dad, you're right. Maxwelldidn't want others to know about our marriage, or else he would be angry. "Robert was embarrassed. This girl was clearly warning him that he shouldn't talk nonsense about this.But Marcus had also solemnly cautioned him, so Robert knew something about it and simply skipped the topic: "Girl, since you called me father said, then let's not mess around."Alice sat upright to show that she was all ears.Robert sighed, "In the past, I and your aunt have always treated you badly. We know a lot about this, but now that you've been married to Maxwell. It was considered to be a success. Now that your sister has just returned, she wants to go to her brother—
In the recent period of time, Alice really had a feeling of being a nouveau riche. But this stone could not be eaten. It was better to exchange this stone for money. But she only dared to think about it and dared not say it.Unexpectedly, Maxwell then said, "It will be available soon."The voice was not loud enough for Alice, who had been immersed in her own thoughts. She didn’t hear it clearly. She asked, "What?"The phone rang.The call from Marcus‘s family always made her hesitate.But ringing all the time was not the way, and the caller is Marcus. In the end, she picked up: "Hello, Grandfather.""Alice, come back for dinner tonight." The elder did not talk nonsense, and said, "You haven't been back for a long time. Come back for dinner tonight.""But I ..." What happened in Marcus's family last time made Alice full of disgust and fear there and didn't want to go back at all.Then she heard Marcus say, "actually, today is the an
Things had come to this point, Giselle still would not give up. Alice really didn't understand. Alicesimply raised her handin front of Maxwell and sweetly asked: "Honey, does it look good?"Maxwell seemed to be expressionless, but his expression was very stiff. Fortunately, he had always been facially paralyzed, and outsiders could not see his convulsions. Put on a show and did a full set.Alice simply put her arms on him and said sweetly, "Buying such an expensive ring is like buying cabbage. Shall we buy the diamond necklace?"Actually, she didn't really want to buy it. She was deliberately trying to make Giselle angry.However, Maxwell unexpectedly said to the salesperson: "Wrap up this whole set."This is millions of dollars! He didn't even blink. These are the most expensive treasures in their shop. Giselle stood there, completely stunned.Michelle was so shocked that she couldn't say a word. Her face turned pale. It was obvious that she was envious and jealou
Aha, this salesperson really talked nonsense. Didn't she know what she looked like? Hey, it was really easy for them to tell lies.She looked at her clean and slender fingers, which became more beautiful because of the diamond ring. Alice immediately felt that this was a good thing. No wonder women like stones like this.It was really dazzling to raise it under the light, but it was too striking. If it was worn to school, she really didn't know what kind of trouble it would cause.She looked at the ring carefully and was satisfied with it.But she still reluctantly picked it off. However, she did not expect that the world was so big. But the road is really narrow for enemies.She met Michelle and her daughter again.Michelle and Giselle are together.They were all dressed as ladies and wore sunglasses. They looked domineering.Just after Alice came back, Michelle brought her to buy some decent jewelry. After all, this is an appearance—oriented society.
