View MoreAlice ignored the assistant and pressed on. "What were you talking about? Who can't stand up? Who needs my invention to recover?"She already had a suspicion. The assistant was speaking with the doctor—who else could they be talking about besides Louis? But she refused to accept it. No… that can’t be right. Louis is fine. His legs will recover soon. There’s no way…!"Miss Alice…" The doctor hesitated while the assistant looked panicked.What the hell is happening? The assistant felt his mind racing. They were following the necessary procedures, but Alice had overheard them. Would this affect the chairman’s decision?He quickly signaled the doctor to stop talking. But it seemed the doctor didn’t catch his cue. Instead, he looked at Alice with a grave expression and said, "Miss Alice, I believe you have the right to know. You are Lord Louis’s fiancée; more importantly, your invention could greatly assist in his rehabilitation.""What are you talking about?" Alice stared at the doctor, h
"You lost your chance, Louis. You will never change." Alice coldly looked at Louis and spoke before turning away without hesitation. She didn't even want to look at him anymore.No, he had changed. He really had. Everything—everything was for her. Alice, I have indeed become a different person for you.There were so many things Louis wanted to say, but right now, the only thought in his mind was to stop Alice, hold onto her, and keep her from leaving!And so he did exactly that. Ignoring the pain in his legs, he lunged toward Alice.The sound of his body hitting the ground was heavy, like a hammer striking Alice's heart.She turned back and saw Louis lying there. For the first time, genuine anger flared in her eyes. "Are you insane, Louis?!"Louis looked up at her, forcing a weak smile. "Yes… maybe I have gone insane. I can't think about anything else but you. I can't imagine losing you, Alice. I've lost everything—right now, I only have you."Alice pressed her lips together, saying n
The assistant looked at Louis’s cold expression and couldn't help but feel a bit satisfied—those who had bullied Miss Alice while the chairman was absent had better prepare themselves!Louis suddenly said, “Perhaps I’ll never be able to stand up again.”The assistant was momentarily confused. Didn’t all the test results indicate that the chairman was in good health with no significant issues? Even if his leg had been broken, it would only take a month or two to heal.But soon, he understood what Louis meant. He nodded firmly in response, signaling that he got the message. However, he hesitated momentarily before asking, “Then what about Miss Alice…?”This was also something that troubled Louis. He didn’t want to deceive Alice, but the fewer people who knew about this, the better.He lowered his gaze slightly and spoke softly, “I’ll tell her later. Just make sure you don’t reveal anything.”The assistant quickly replied, “Understood, sir.”Before long, news of the Ado Group chairman’s
What?! I'm Alice's fiancé. Since when?! Why am I only finding out about this today?!Louis felt like he was dreaming. Otherwise, Mrs. Aboli must have lost her mind. Why were they saying he was Alice's fiancé? Had something happened that he had no idea about?He wanted to wake up. He needed to wake up—right now!None of them knew that Louis, who appeared to be in a coma, was hearing every word of their conversation.The group fell silent, staring at one another as if unsure what to say next.Mr. Drake glanced sideways at Mrs. Aboli and scoffed, "Old woman, mind your own business. What do you know about young people? Are you trying to play matchmaker now?"His words instantly riled up Mrs. Aboli. "I was just showing concern for Alice! You're the one meddling where you don't belong!"Mr. Sesha chuckled warmly from the side. "Alright, alright. This is a hospital, not a place for arguments."Both Mr. Drake and Mrs. Aboli glared at him, clearly unwilling to back down just because he was old
July looked at Alice's grave expression and quickly said, "I told you a long time ago—Cliff is not a simple person, but you never believed me. I'm sure you'll come to understand how dire Louis's situation was in Cliff and his father's hands. Though, he might never tell you. After all, he wouldn't want to show weakness in front of the girl he loves."That thought was foolish, Alice mused. She looked at July and softly said, "If you had told me everything sooner, maybe I wouldn't have been so attached to Cliff for so long." If that had been the case, she wouldn't have had anything to do with Louis, sparing herself a great deal of trouble. But more importantly, just thinking about how she once loved someone as cruel as Cliff made Alice feel sick.To her, Cliff had always been a kind and warm-hearted man, willing to help others even if they were strangers—just like how he had tried to save her when they had only just met.But to gain more power, he destroyed another person and another fam
Alice quickly followed July, but she suddenly stopped just as they were about to leave the hospital.Although July was walking fast, she immediately halted when Alice tugged at her. Turning around, she looked at Alice with confusion and concern. “Alice, what’s wrong? Did that bastard Cliff scare you? If he did, I swear I won’t let him off!”Alice shook her head. “No, I’m not scared of him. Right now, I feel disgusted by him. But I have something I want to ask you, July—what exactly is the relationship between Cliff and Louis?”Seeing Alice’s serious expression, July sighed softly before finally saying, “Alright…” Ten minutes later, at Alice home.July told Alice everything about the connection between Cliff and Louis. Ultimately, she looked straight at Alice and said firmly, “I’ve told you before—Cliff is not a good person. Maybe he was kind to you when you were little, but he’s changed. From the start, I could tell he had huge ambitions!”July thought that if she hadn’t been strong
"What is your relationship with Louis?" Alice looked at Cliff, her voice low as she asked.Cliff was slightly surprised by her question, clearly not expecting that Alice didn’t know about his relationship with Louis.He laughed loudly: "Ha ha ha, Louis didn’t tell you about this? How interesting. You see, we are quite alike, and there’s a reason for that. Between me and Louis, only one can exist!"Alice’s voice turned cold: "Are you the one who tried to assassinate Louis?"Cliff covered his mouth, chuckling: "You’re so wicked, Alice. You almost fell into my trap. You shouldn’t think so badly of me. I’m even here visiting Louis out of kindness!"Alice’s gaze was frosty: "Regardle
The sides clashed fiercely, and the subordinates could only remain silent. However, they did not have to wait long, as Alice soon appeared.In reality, Alice hadn't arrived too late; it was just that Mrs. Aboli disliked her and had to find something to criticize.Alice entered the meeting room, smiling slightly at the others: "Hello, sorry for keeping everyone waiting. I’m Alice Campbell, and I will be taking over for Louis to preside over today’s board meeting."Mr. Drake smiled: "No need for such formalities. It’s just a little delay. Without you, Alice, Ado Group would have faced even greater risks, and perhaps we wouldn’t even be sitting here today."Mrs. Aboli silently curled her lips: "Hypocrite."
Alice faced Mrs. Campbell and softly said, “I don’t know, Mom, how could you decide to marry someone like that?”Mrs. Campbell replied indifferently, “My marriage to your father wasn’t based on love. We came together because it brought great benefits to both of our families.”Ron: “...” He quietly left the room. Perhaps his mother had forgotten that her "precious" son was still there.Alice didn’t say anything, but Mrs. Campbell continued, “You’re not bound by any family obligations, Alice. You’re extremely talented, and you have the right to choose the best, even when it comes to your life partner. So when you make a decision, think carefully.”Alice couldn’t help but ask, “Don&rsq
The music blared, shaking the ground beneath it. Sultry bodies swayed to the rhythm, bottles of expensive liquor sparkled under the dim, colorful lights, and the crowd tangled in heated dances, some passionately kissing. The murky, vibrant lighting gave the scene an otherworldly, almost sinister allure.This was the MidNight Bar—a lavish escape for the debauched or those seeking relief from life’s pressures.Few knew, however, that the bar was one of the many assets owned by the powerful Adonis family. The first two floors catered to entertainment, but the third floor was an exclusive gathering place for influential figures. Without connections to the Adonis family, one would never set foot there.At that moment, in a private lounge on the third floor, expensive bottles of liquor were scattered across the room. Four men occupied the space: two were flirting with their girlfriends, one seemed restless, and the last, seated at the center and clearly the host of this gathering, had his h...
