Chapter 96 Force ire To Lick Her Shoes
“I’ve been married to you for years, and I still didn’t know.”
Robert nced at Alice and rissa before leaning back to loftily stretch out on his seat. “I was born
and raised in Ascalon, a distant rtive of the Summers. I came all the way here because Miss Winona
ran away from her marriage. I was sent to find her.”
Alice had heard of the Summers before. They owned the nation’srgest gemstone empire, so they
were very rich.
While they were not one of the most powerful families in Ascalon, they were considered one of the top
ten. Either way, they were much more powerful than the Morgans.
“Distant rtives?” Alice’s eyes instantly lit up. “You’re part of the Summers?”
Robert cleared his throat and guiltily replied, “Kind of. That’s why we haven’t reached the end of the
road yet.”
“That’s wonderful!” Alice smacked her thigh as joy was painted all over her face. She had forgotten all
about Adam by now. “Let’s head to Ascalon tomorrow morning!”
“Wait.”
Robert interrupted her with a raised hand. “We can’t just go to Ascalon like this.”
“Why not?”

Robert nced at rissa before slowly exining, “I never found Winona Summers. If I go back…
things might be bad.”
His words confused them. Alice impatiently barked out, “What should we do then? Just say it already!
Don’t test our patience.”
“Ahem.” Robert cleared his throat once more. “I actually found Winona years ago.”
They anxiously stared at him.
His eyes darkened as he snapped out, “She was Madeline Summers!”
“What?”
They were shocked. They could not believe what they were hearing. Alice even felt like strangling
Robert now.
Master Summers told him to look for Winona Summers, so why did he marry h instead of returning to
Ascalon? Why cower away in Silverton?
“Robert, exin yourself!” Alice was furious.
Robert hurriedly exined, “ire is not my daughter. She was conceived by Winona with some
stranger. When I found her, she made a deal with me and asked me to marry her. Then, she gave me
shares in Alpha Ventures in return. She even promised me a carefree life, so I agreed.”
No matter how Alice wrapped her head around it, something about his story felt off. However, she could
not really say what was off, so she forced her doubts aside.

“What do we do now?”
Robert proudly chuckled and turned to look at rissa. “We’ll return to Ascalon and im rissa is
Winona’s daughter. Once the Summers family takes her in, we’ll be her foster parents. They won’t treat
us badly while rissa will be treated like a princess. By then, she can marry any man she wants!”
Alice’s face darkened. She had gone through ten months of torment just so she could give birth to
rissa. Now, her precious daughter would have to call some other woman “mom” instead of her. She
would never ept that.
“You’re dead, Robert!”
“Mom!” rissa interrupted. “I think Dad’s idea is great. Once I be a Summers, I can marry
someone richer and more influential. I can support both of you financially while the Summers will just
have to deal with it!”
ire really knew how to pick her parents. She was actually the daughter of a rich and powerful family.
rissa was not happy that she had lost to ire from the very start, so she wanted to take ire’s
ce. When the time was right, she would force ire to lick her shoes!
Alice frowned. “What about Xander?”
“Why do I need Xander when I’m a Summers?”
rissa’s face was full of scorn as she recalled what Xander did to her at
the bar. How she hated him. “Once I marry into a proper rich family in Ascalon, I’ll squash the Morgans
like ants!”

As her mother …
Whatever. Alice was happy as long as rissa knew to be grateful to her once she married into a good
family.
“Very well then …”
rissa happily grabbed Robert’s arm as she was about to be turned into a princess soon enough.
“Let’s go pack up so that we can head to Ascalon already.”
Robert shook his head. “Not yet.”
Alice and rissa shrieked in unison, “Not yet?”
rissa angrily shook Robert’s arm. “No to this, no to that, no to
everything! Just what do you want?”
“We need just a little more evidence.”
Robert licked his lips. He was past the point of no return now.
He was not that capable of a man. He was only rich and powerful because of Alpha Ventures. Thus, he
did not want to be forced back into that misery.

He hesitated for a few long moments. Just as Alice was about to explode, he exined, “The Summers
are not fools. I can’t just bring them anyone for
them to ept as Winona’s child.”
rissa impatiently stomped her feet. “Just spit it out, Dad! Can you stop leaving us hanging?”
“Ahem.”

“Ahem.”
He cleared his throat once more. He would never have thought of heading back
to Ascalon if Alice and rissa weren’t in such a rush.
“We’ll need a strand of ire’s hair. We should keep a few strands as
backup. The man Winona hooked up withes from a family the Summers n
dislike. They would never ask him to go over to determine if you’re the real deal, so we’ll have to use
ire’s hair to fool the Summers.”
“ire’s hair?”
rissa frowned. “How are we going to get that? She’s a good fighter. None of us can win in a fight
against her.”
“I have a n. We just need your mother to cooperate.”
Upon hearing there was a n, Alice enthusiastically asked, “Okay! Let’s do it for our daughter’s
happiness, even if it means sacrificing ourselves.”
“Ha.”
Robert let out an eerie chuckle and beckoned them closer.
When he finished his exnation, Alice’s face twisted and shifted. However, rissa looked so eager
and hopeful that Alice had no choice but to go along. “Okay. That’s the n!”
ire bathed Belle before leading her over to Sean’s apartment.
This time felt different.

This time felt different.
She had only been dating Sean back then, but now that she had agreed to his proposal, they were
betrothed.
Although they had yet to hold an engagement party, she did not believe in all thoseplicated rules
anyway. Hence, she just went with the simplest system.
