A Rose 448


    im


    Adam’s irritation only grew stronger at Wilson’s words,


    Hah, Wilson wanted to visit his beloved sister again? He was going to beat the other man up so


    badlyter he wasn’t going to be able to even stand!


    Adam sneered coldly.


    “All of you escort Yvette home while I deal with him!” hemanded his men.


    “Aye, captain!”


    Meanwhile, Alice was examining her injuries at the Robertson Mansion. She pulled a mirror out of


    her pocket and examined her purpling bruise. The hatred in her heart continued to grow.


    “Ouch… that bitch Yvette certainly didn’t pull any punches!”


    It was a good thing that she had taken advantage of the chaos and slipped away while nobody was


    paying attention to her. Otherwise, her fate would have been horrible.


    Thinking about everything that had happened just now still terrified her. At the same time, she felt


    incredibly confused.


    Wilson had moved to help the Robertson family the moment Victoria asked him to. Logically, he


    wouldn’t have let Yvette get off scot–free after seeing her cause Alice to get hurt.


    But just why had he been so protective of that bitch Yvette just now?


    “Alice, you’re back!”


    Seeing Alice standing at the entrance, Molly greeted her warmly. There was no trace of the disgust


    from before.


    “My daughter is amazing! To think you managed to convince the Quinns to invest in our family!


    We’re saved!”


    In the face of Molly’splete change in attitude, Alice immediately shoved the incident with Yvette


    to the back of her mind. Her ego was sky–high. She didn’t mention a word about Victoria’s


    contribution and instead imed all the credit for herself.


    “Mom, now you and dad won’t force me to marry Mr. Luiz anymore, right?”


    Molly was all smiles. “Of course we won’t! You’re our family’s savior! You can tell me anything you


    want, Alice. I’ll get you anything you want!” she dered.


    Alice’s face was filled with greed. “Mom, I want Chanel’stest fashion!”


    She would wear the trendiest clothes and put on the nicest makeup. All so that she could show that


    bitch Yvette up!


    Molly immediately hesitated. “Ah, well… the prices for Chanel’stest clothing has been hiked up to


    unreasonable prices! They would cost a lot to buy!”


    “I don’t care! Chanel’stest fashion is what I want!” Alice insisted. “Didn’t you just say you’d get me


    anything I want? I’ve even gotten the Quinns to invest in our family! I deserve a huge reward for


    such a great feat, Mom!”


    That bitch Yvette already had those clothes. She wasn’t about to lose to her!


    2/2


    “Alright. I’ll buy them for you, Alice!”


    Molly had no choice. She could only ce an immediate order via phone call and reluctantly


    transfer the


    money.

    “Mom, you treat me so well!”


    Alice was ted just thinking about the fact that the Chanel shop assistants would be sending their


    latest


    fashion over very soon.


    “Haha…” Molly’s smile was forced. Her heart was still aching at the huge sum of money she had


    just transferred away. “As long as you like it!”


    “Mr. Robertson has returned…”


    Alice ran out excitedly at the household staff’s announcement.


    “Dad, you’re back! I got the Quinns to invest in our family!” she rambled. “Now that we’re under the


    protection of the Quinns, even the Murrays can’t do anything to us! I’m our family’s savior, Dad!


    How are you nning to reward-”


    Before Alice could finish her smug speech, Frank pped her heavily across the face. “You still


    have the nerve to im yourself as our savior? You’re no savior, you’re a jinx! Our family is doomed


    because of you! I should’ve strangled you to death as a baby!”


    “Ah…” Alice was disoriented by the p, but she pushed through the pain.


    “What’s wrong, Dad?” she asked quickly, “Haven’t the Quinns invested in us? Why did you hit


    me…”


    Frank looked at her with hatred in his eyes. “The Quinns did indeed invest in us, but KW


    Corporation stepped in. They mentioned you by name, making it clear that you offended someone


    you never should have offended!”


    KW Corporation was one of the top four global financial conglomerates. They even had the top


    global organization Shadow Alliance backing them!


    The Quinns would never choose to get on the Shadow Alliance’s bad side just for the Robertsons‘


    sake! The Robertson family was doomed,pletely doomed!
