Chapter 5 Edmond Didn''t See Her Worth
Chapter 5 Edmond Didn''t See Her Worth
The photo was taken before her wedding, and photoshopped by Grace.
She had over a hundred of them at the time, each one with a different man.
Her aim was to have a perfect counterstrike the day any of Edmond''s mistresses decided to unt
their rtionship.
Indeed, the recipient of the photo never responded.
After descending to have breakfast, Kalinda''s face looked a little unwell. Seeing Alicia, her eyes
flickered, somewhat guilty.
Alicia ignored it, quietly eating her congee.
On the other hand, Peter seemed very calm, taking the initiative to talk about work with Alicia.
"Is everything manageable at thepany?"
"It''s okay. I''m getting used to it."
"You''ve just taken over recently. If you''re still ufortable, I can arrange a couple of secretaries to
help."
"No need, Dad. I can handle it."
Alicia responded politely.
Peter sighed.
"If it weren''t for that stubborn child Edmond refusing to take over thepany, I wouldn''t have to
trouble you so much. Licia, I know it''s a big pressure shifting from the president''s secretary to acting
president, but I believe you will do a good job."
"The Agos Family has given me a lot, and it''s an opportunity for me to repay. Nothing is too difficult
or too easy. Thank you for believing in me, Dad."
After breakfast, Xu Wei was preparing to go to work.
Just as she was about to step out, Kalinda suddenly said, "How about apanying me to the
jewelry store this afternoon, Licia?"
She answered honestly, "I have a meetingter, but I should have time to apany you
afterwards."
"Good, then I''ll wait for you."
Alicia could see that her mother-inw wanted an opportunity to talk to her alone.
When she arrived at thepany, she was stuck at work.
The Agos Group was apany built from the ground up by Peter Agospany. Unfortunately,
Edmond, who studied medicine, had no interest in inheriting his father''s business. With Peter''s
health failing, he had no choice but to entrust thepany to his most trusted aide, Alicia.
She had already taken over a month ago.
But there were still many voices of discontent towards her in thepany.
As soon as Edmond arrived at thepany, he overheard several secretaries gossiping about
Alicia in the break room.
"They say she climbed into the boss''s bed to get the position of acting president..."
"She looks pure and unaffected on the surface, but in fact, she''s quite provocative in her bones.
Without her cunning tactics, she could never have secured her ce in this affluent family."
"Doesn''t Mr. Agos have a son? Why doesn''t Alicia hook up with him? Why choose an old man?"
"Are you talking about Young Master Ed? Oh, please no. He''s my dream guy. Although he''s
somewhat of a yboy, his appearance absolutely suits my taste. Such an exquisite specimen
should not be squandered on Alicia."
"Young Master Ed must also know about Alicia''s rtionship with the boss, and that''s why he
dislikes her..."
Edmond squinted his seductive eyes, silently retreating to the guest room to flip through magazines.
After the meeting with the directors, Xu Wei returned to her office to see Bai Qingyu sitting in the
lounge, chatting happily with a few female secretaries.
She walked into the guest room in her red high heels.
Wearing a ck dress with a suit jacket, she looked authoritative and somewhat powerful.
"Mr. Agos, you''re really popr, but you''re too much of a distraction."
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
The female secretaries'' faces stiffened and they hurriedly left with augh.
Soon, only Edmond and Alicia were left in the lounge.
Her tone was calm.
"What are you doing here?"
He raised an eyebrow and scoffed, "So quickly you''ve considered thepany yours?"
"If you want to take over thepany, I can arrange the process now. And by the way, we can go to
the civil affairs bureau and get divorced."
Alicia wished to offload this burden.
But she owed a debt of gratitude to Peter.
Among a dozen children in the orphanage, he picked her, paid for her education, and even found
her a foster mother.
After graduating, Alicia came to work at thepany to repay the favor.
Two years ago, her foster mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and in desperate need of
medical expenses, she sought help from Peter. As a result, Alicia signed an agreement with Peter.
She was appointed as the acting president and was arranged to marry Edmond.
As long as Peter''s health improved or Edmond took over thepany, Alicia could leave the
position. At the same time, she would receive arge pension.
She urgently hoped that Edmond would take over thepany as soon as possible.
"Does the entertainmentpany under the group have signing quotas this quarter?"
Alicia knew he would not care aboutpany affairs for no reason.
"So, one of your women wants to be a star?"
He didn''t deny it.
"I''ll have someone send the information overter."
With that, he stood up and left.
Alicia returned to the office to work.
Not long after, the secretary brought over the files. She opened them to see the resume and photo
inside and frowned.
It was the woman who had emailed her in the morning.
Attached were several intimate photos of the woman with Edmond.
