Chapter 2288
Alice didn''t want to talk nonsense with him as she found that she would never be able to outspeak
Henrick.
"Mr. Henrick, let''s have a drink." A middle-aged man came up and Alice took the opportunity to
leave.
Henrick looked at Alice''s back and smiled. He picked up a cup of wine, clinked it with the middle-
aged man''s, and took a symbolic sip.
He was not good at drinking, and he was not greedy. At parties and banquets, he hardly ever drank.
Even if he wanted to drink, Josue would help him secretly change his drink to in water.
As the heir of Alwynn Group, his life was carefree, but he would not let himself lose control.
"Mr. Henrick, do you n to develop any projects in Lemmon City this time?" The middle-aged man
came to inquire about the news.
Henrick smiled and said, "I may disappoint you. I came to Lemmon City this time for my girlfriend.
As for whether I should stay here or not, I''m still considering it."
There was a development project, but there was no need for him to do it.
He was still focused on pursuing his wife.
The middle-aged man was a little disappointed and smiled tteringly. Opportunities were given to
those who were prepared. He had been looking for a chance to cooperate with Alwynn Group.
Thus, he found a topic to chat with Henrick.
As for Henrick, he didn''t care about which wine ss he picked as he took one casually.
He just took a sip and held it in his hand.
Michelle, who was not far away, frowned.
Henrick didn''t drink, so she couldn''t carry out her n.
Alice had already been diverted, and the n had begun. Presently, Michelle was just waiting for
Henrick to drink the wine, and then, her n would seed.
On the other side, as soon as Alice came out of the bathroom, she was blocked by Belinda.
She frowned slightly and just nodded. She did not want to talk to her.
When she was about to leave, Belinda blocked her way.
Alice suddenly raised her eyes and looked at her unkindly.
Belinda sneered and said, "Alice, don''t you know your own family background and identity? How
dare you be with Mr. Henrick? I think you''d better give up. Michelle''s family background is very
good. As long as she marries him, it will be good for us. What do you think?"
Alice was amused by her words. How could she have the confidence to say such words? "Belinda,
you can''t be like this."
"Why not? Hmm?" Belinda asked with a smile, aggressive.
Alice''s eyes were full of smiles. "Isn''t it good for me to marry Henrick? Why should Michelle marry
him?"
"Because your family background is not good?" Belinda sneered and called out again.
Alice was furious. Sometimes, she really couldn''t keep a low profile.
"Belinda, I remember that in Gxy Shopping Mall, your family rented two shops to do business,
right?"
Belinda proudly raised her head and said with a smile, "Yes, it was rented from Klein Group. It
doesn''t matter, but it''s almost impossible to rent a shop in such a good location."
Alice also nodded. "Yes, that is a good location. Those two shops should be the only sources of
ie in your family."
Belinda was a little embarrassed. "Yes, but it''s still better than your smallpany." Her tone was
hurried and ashamed. The two shops were the only sources of ie for her family, but it was
quite considerable as she could live a carefree life without going to work.
Alice nodded, picked up her phone, and dialed a number.
The person on the other side greeted her respectfully, "Miss."
"Mr. Foster, could you please inform those two shops owned by the Kline family in Gxy Shopping
Mall? I want to take them back."
"Okay, Miss. I''ll call them right away."
"Haha..." Belinda sneered and retreated. She didn''t believe that Alice had such an ability. "Alice,
who do you think you are? The eldest daughter of the rke family?"
Alice replied, "You''re right. I am indeed Bert Klein''s biological daughter. Don''t you like to use your
family background to oppress others? I''ll also let you have a taste of it. How will you continue living
after losing your sources of ie?"
"Ha..." Belindaughed angrily. "Alice, you really dare to admit that. We were college ssmates. If
you had such a good family background, how could I not know? Look at the clothes you are
wearing..."
"The clothes I''m wearing are very beautiful, but they''re not branded, right?" Alice interrupted her.
Belinda had to admit that, and it was why she was jealous. Alice could also dress beautifully despite
wearing clothes from random street stalls.
"Let me ask you, what''s wrong with those clothes? Eden, the president''s wife of Alwynn Group,
helped me design them. My family orders our clothes from her every year. Each item of clothing
costs more than your family''s annual ie."
Belinda''s face instantly drained of color.
At this time, the phone in her hand also rang. When she saw that it was her father calling, she didn''t
want to answer it. Then, she thought of Alice''s call just now. She hesitated for a moment and
answered it.
"Hello, Dad."
"Where are you? Hurry up ande back to think of a way. The rke family suddenly wants to
take back the shops. Just now, Mr. Klein''s assistant called me in person and said that Miss Klein
wants to take back the shops."
The phone in Belinda''s hand suddenly fell to the ground. She looked at the gorgeous and elegant
Alice in disbelief. She was really the eldest daughter of the rke family.

"Alice, I''m sorry. I was wrong. I was really wrong. Don''t take back the shop, okay?" Belinda couldn''t
care about Michelle''s n now. Without the two shops, her whole family would have a hard time.
Her brother was still in college. Without a source of ie, they wouldn''t be able to afford her
brother''s tuition fees.
Alice looked at her coldly. "Isn''t this what you want? Using your family background to oppress
others."
After saying that, she left. Belinda picked up her phone and chased after her, blocking her path.
"Alice, I''m sorry. I really didn''t do it on purpose. It was Michelle. She and Alma conspired to drug
you and Mr. Henrick. When you came out of the bathroom, I was supposed to distract you and hold
you back while the man arranged by Michelle woulde over and bring you to his room. Michelle
took Henrick to the hotel room. I was too consumed by the thought of getting money for a moment,
so I did this. Alice, I''m telling you all this, and I hope you can keep it to yourself. I will never appear
in front of you again."
Alice looked at her in disbelief. It turned out that there was such danger hidden in the fact that
Michelle invited them here that night.
She hoped that that b*stard, Henrick, didn''t get drunk.
Alice couldn''t be bothered with Belinda. She turned around and ran back to the party. However,
before she could run a few steps, she was hit by someone behind her. Her vision went dark and she
fell to the ground.
"D*mn it!" Before falling to the ground, she was still very worried about Henrick.
"Ah..." Belinda looked at the man wearing a cap in horror.
However, the man raised the baseball bat in his hand and quickly knocked her out.
The man was very strong and dragged the two women to the underground garage quickly.
